Alexandra & Avi
Wedding Party
Lincoln Lipp
Dog of Honor
Lincoln is not the most behaved dog 100% of the time but he has mastered the puppy dog face and is always ready for a great cuddle. He has lived with Avi and Lexie in the city and in the suburbs and he has travelled with them the entire east coast from trips to Maine ands trips as far as Florida. Lincoln is the love of Lexie and Avi's lives and is so excited that his parents are making things official very soon. He hopes for a future fur and skin brother and/or sister as their family grows. He is excited to be a part of the big day.
Norbert Alicea
Father of the Bride
Bert and Lexie both like to have fun - lots of fun - like center of attention kind of fun. We will see how all this goes down at the wedding - just remember who you are traveling for people (the right answer is not Bert). Lexie's best memories with her dad are the family trips to almost all the Taylor Swift concerts (yes - we are all Swifties in the Alicea clan), practicing softball and basketball (even though Lexie could never magically grow like Noelle did) and family beach/shore vacations to OCMD > OBX > SIC and now Dewey is thrown into the mix. Dad is the best because he always makes sure we schedule family time and even better, Avi has already been included in all the fun over the past 8 years.
Mary Anne Alicea
Mother of the Bride
Lexie and Mary Anne are unnervingly similar. Avi and Bert noticed it more and more as the four lived as roommates for almost two years. Hopefully in that time Avi got a sense of what the future could hold!! Lexie's best memories with her mom are playing house, polly pockets, princesses, dress up, Barbies, American Girl dolls - you name it as a kid. Mom had no limits with building beds and houses for every doll you can imagine. Matching dresses for Christmas every year and then custom matching dresses for our dolls too - yep mom did that. The creativity and perfection has been pulled through the Bridal Shower and the Wedding even now! We have gotten stressed but have had so much fun working together to pull the big day off !! In the name of dress ups please expect both the Bride and the Mother of the Bride to have at least one outfit change on the big day !!!
Lisa Lipp
Mother of the Groom
Lisa Lipp is the mother of the groom. She grew up in Virginia and currently lives in Lititz, PA. She loves her family, a nice cup of coffee and watching Hallmark movies. Avi's favorite memories with his mom include the family vacations to places like Atlantis and Virgin Islands, celebrating Chrismukkah with their unique Hanukkah bush decorations and eating (but now in his young adult years even learning to make) her famous lasagna!!
Noelle Alicea
Maid of Honor
Noelle and Lexie got to both go through life as big sisters together. Unlucky for Noelle, Lexie always did everything first and the very best she could. Unlucky for Lexie, Noelle watched the whole thing and figured out how to adapt and do things even better. Some examples included actually getting game time on the basketball court instead of warming the bench, figuring out how to get dad to do things instead of just doing whatever you feel like and pissing him off and now planning a wedding. Yessy ("Lexie") and Noey have been through it all together and both cannot wait to be wives and mothers together too!!
Allison Alicea
Maid of Honor
Allison is quite literally Lexie's clone but completely the opposite of her when it comes to rules. The two lived very similar lives: both created by Bert and Mary Anne, both graduates of Dtown East High School, both sorority sisters (different sororities), both Info Science grads at PSU, both work for Deloitte Consulting, both like to travel and spend summers in Sea Isle. Although, their experiences through all these things were completely different with Alli being the house rule follower and Lexie being the house rule breaker. As you can imagine this causes the two to but heads, BUT they respect each others perspectives and that's exactly what has brought them so close as young adults! I know Alli is relieved that Avi has been around to keep an extra eye on her sister.
Kim Regester
Bridesmaid
Kim and Lexie have been joined at the hip as long as most people can remember. These two are the true partners in crime. When the crime was sneaking boys into Bert's house, then the time was having the boys back to mulch Bert's yard. When the crime was IMing unknown people on AOL, then the time was Lexie getting banned from the internet for a full year (Kim stayed her friend through it all). When the crime was lying about babysitting to go to a OAR or Slightly Stoopid concert, the time was grounding. When the crime was bringing 30 cases of beer to OBX week in the chugger - oh wait we got away with that one! Kim and Lexie continued their shenanigans through college and into Philly where they hope to continue even as they take the title of Real Housewives of Philadelphia this year and next!
Danielle Trama
Bridesmaid
Dani and Lexie met in Dani's sophomore year and Lexie's freshman year of Penn State. Fate brought them together Spring semester when they both moved to the sorority floor in Cooper Hall (South) and both needed a roommate because we were so new to the sorority. It was a match made in heaven because we did everything together including snack in each others beds and watch Big Bang Theory on hangover days. Even when Dani lived in NYC after college Lexie redirected her career so she could at least be in NYC Tues-Thurs. Now life is good because they both will live one block from each other in East Passyunk Philly. Avi knows that Lexie and Dani are a package deal. :)
Ariana Lipp
Bridesmaid
Ariana and Lexie did not skip a beat when Lexie started dating her brother. It was wonderful to have Ariana right around the corner in Philly while she studied at Jefferson. Then she bought a house in North Carolina and began her travels across the US as a traveling nurse. Even with the distance, all the while, Ariana and Lexie have bonded over buying houses, becoming dog moms and sharing tips and tricks about what pisses Avi off along the way. The trips visit Ariana or hosting her in Philadelphia are ALWAYS something to look forward too and bring positive and happy vibes. She even seems to enjoy hanging out with Bert, Mary Anne, Noelle and Alli for the occasional OBX trip or winter holiday...what a relief (for those that know Bert's humor) !!!
Amanda Bell
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Lexie met pledging the Delta Zeta sorority together at Penn State in Fall of 2009. They grew into young adults together at Penn State. Amanda just a tad more responsible and Lexie just a tad more risqué made the perfect concoction for fun and success! The two conquered the Penn State frats and bars together and then after college they conquered so many more cites togethers. Amanda and Lexie are the pair you would find at pretty much every bachelorette party, every wedding and every travel event among the DZ friend groups throughout the past 10 years.
Alyssa Hernandez
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Lexie have been friends since dance classes, the infamous Fort Myers high school trips, endless high school parties and Lexie keeping Alyssa company during her Dairy Queen shifts (for chocolate ice cream with cherry dip). Their friendship continued through college especially freshman year when the girls were new to PSU and followed Alyssa's older brother to parties and even beyond when the two lived in Philly on Spruce street together. Alyssa was there for Lexie and Avi's first date, for many of their first fights and for Lexie's attempts at cooking and cleaning (not good attempts but thank you Blue Apron).
Amy Kirkpatrick
Bridesmaid
Amy and Lexie officially met and started to become very close friends quickly when Amy began dating best man Andrew Rosen. During covid the four hung out many a times in Philly or even back in Amy and Lexie's hometown of Downingtown. Little did we know that while one was in Dtown East district and the other in west both attended Chester Valley dance academy together and were even in the same hip hop class in grade school!
