Alexandra & Chase
Wedding Party
Chase Staiger
Groom
Chase is the most handsome man on the planet. He is strong, both physically and emotionally, generous, caring, and supportive. He would give you the shirt off of his back. He loves his dog, Jethro, more than anything. They are two peas in a pod. He works as a diesel mechanic and is stronger than an ox.
Alexandra Shirley
Bride
Alex is a wild one. Let's start by saying she is a crazy cat lady and loves her dear Penelope Louise more than life itself. She recently graduated from the University of Pittsburgh receiving her Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Language. She plans to teach Spanish, French and Italian at a Pittsburgh Public School. She is funny (only to herself), generous, and always there if you need cheering up. She has grown so much since meeting Chase, who saved her from herself.
Jerry Kopelic
Best Man
Jerry is loyal, honorable, and one tough son of a bitch. He has been Chase's best friend for the last 15+ years. Jerry is married to the beautiful Robin Kopelic and together they have Danny, the ring barer, as well as Veronica and Alexandra.
Abigail Shirley
Maid of Honor
Abby is the little sister of the bride, Alex, and has the honor of sharing Maid of Honor duties with Chase's sister, Caroline. Abby is intelligent, athletic, and spunky. She is a cheerleader for the Saltsburg Trojans and plays volleyball.
Jacob Shirley
Groomsman
Jake is the younger brother of the bride, Alex. He is the comedian of the family and always ready to crack a joke. He is generous, loving, and one of the biggest math nerds you will ever meet. No Jake, we will not be having math competitions at the dinner table.
Caroline Staiger
Maid of Honor
Caroline is the older sister of Chase, the groom. She is caring, supportive, and intellectual. Caroline is engaged to groomsman Cory and together they share daughter Molly, the flower girl, Aiden and Brandon.
Cory Barenowski
Groomsman
Cory is the fiancé of Caroline, co-Maid of Honor, and future brother-in-law of both Chase and Alex. He is the father of three beautiful children; Brandon, Aiden, and Molly (the flower girl). Cory is hardworking, kind, and funny.
Bethany Sinclair
Bridesmaid
Bethany is the cousin of the bride and celebrated the birth of her first child in January 2021. Bethany has served as a role model to Alex and has been instrumental in planning this wedding. She also has two fur babies, Milo and Maggie.
William Fullerton
Groomsman
William, or better known as Chuckie, is the best friend of fellow groomsman Jake Shirley, and friend of Chase. From the moment they met, Chuckie and Chase have found many similarities between them. Chuckie is an accountant nerd and likes any kind of drink you place in front of him.
Jordan Baird
Bridesmaid
Jordan is the older cousin of Alex and not her twin. You see, their mothers thought it would be so cute to dress them in matching outfits for the first 10 years of their lives. Jordan is intelligent, kind, and stunning. She has two fur babies, Leo and Louie, who she loves dearly.
Adam Trussa
Groomsman
Adam is the best friend of Alex, the bride. They met at the University of Pittsburgh during their undergraduate degrees. Alex and Adam instantly became friends, sharing many different things in common, and when Adam would let Alex copy his French homework. He is the reason she graduated from Pitt, no doubt about it.
Julia Baird
Bridesmaid
Julia is the younger cousin of Alex, and sister of Jordan. Julia is one of the most creative people you will ever meet. She is a published author and enjoys writing in her spare time. She loves her fur baby, Kit, and had the most impressive Polly Pocket collection when she was little.
Deklan Shiring
Groomsman
Deklan is the younger cousin of Chase. He is very intelligent and loves to discuss history. Deklan is the son of Kelly Shiring, Chase's cousin, with whom he is very close. Deklan is one heck of a kid!
Delaney Shiring
Bridesmaid
Delaney is the sister of Deklan and cousin of Chase. She is a very sweet and generous young lady. Delaney is also the best conversationalist. She loves to do archery and is very talented when it comes to cooking and baking. She is the daughter of Chase's cousin Kelly.
Jennifer Shirley
Mother of the Bride
Jenn is the mother of Alex and Jake. She has been teaching for 30 years and is one of the most cherished teachers in the Blairsville-Saltsburg School District. She is witty and independent, but when it comes to cooking, stay away from her food. None of the food or cookies at the wedding are prepared by Jenn, so you're safe.
Brian Shirley
Father of the Bride
Brian is the father of Alex, Jake, and Abby. He started his own business, as an accountant, in the mid-late 90's in Saltsburg. He is the main reason Jake likes to have math competitions at the dinner table. If you ever need your taxes done, I know a guy.
Rebecca Shirley
Step-Mother of the Bride
Becky is the biological mother of Abby, and the step mother of Alex and Jake. She has been in their lives for over 20 years and has played a huge part of shaping them into the people they are today. Becky is a tremendous cook, saving Alex and Jake from a life of eating ham sandwiches and burgers at their dad's house.
