Noelle Foldi
Bridesmaid
At the age of eight, Alexis and her family moved from North Carolina to Florida. It was at Palm Bay Community Charter School that Alexis and Noelle met. In addition to only being 15 days apart, they learned they had so much in common. Noelle became Alexis’s person in her new home, and they spent every single day together. Although the years have gone by, whenever they are together, it feels like they’re eight years old again with their whole lives ahead of them. They grew up together playing dolls and running through the woods reenacting Twilight scenes and now stand together on a day they always talked about.
Marissa Heidenreich
Bridesmaid

Soon, Alexis transferred to a different a school, and a few short months later, Marissa transferred schools to be with her. Marissa has been Alexis’s safe place for over a decade now, and their bond continues to deepen. Even with the distance between Florida and Colorado, they talk every single day. A love for painting or cooking a home cooked meal with a good TV show and hot cup of tea is something they'll share for the rest of their lives.
Jazmyn Powers
Bridesmaid
Half-way through sophomore year, Alexis's family moved, and she had to switch schools. It was in a Health & Wellness class at Eau Gallie High School where Alexis and Jazmyn instantly clicked.

Jazmyn’s infectious laugh and genuine support has been a rock for Alexis throughout the years of growing up. As they got older, Jazmyn began to become a role model for Alexis. Her patience and determination through any obstacle made Alexis want to push herself to her fullest potential. Through several moves and state changes, Jazmyn and Alexis’s friendship has only grown stronger.
Makenzie Sorenson
Bridesmaid
In 2016, Alexis met Makenzie, the middle Sorensen sibling. She quickly learned that Kenzie was a beautiful firecracker, full of love and passion. It was easy for Alexis to love her because they are so similar. Makenzie is one of the strongest, hardest working people Alexis has ever met. There isn’t a moment Kenzie doesn’t have the whole room laughing and her dedication to her health inspires those around her. They motivate each other to grow and come together when they need support. Now and forever besties for the resties, these two have grown to be sisters over the years.
Ashley Sorenson
Bridesmaid
The youngest of Peyton's sisters, Ashley exudes kindness with every inch of her. She instantly stole Alexis's heart when they met. Ashley was eleven years old and loved talking Alexis's ear off (and still does until this day). Anyone who has met Ashley knows it is a privilege to know her. She makes everyone feel included, stands up for others, and is unapologetically herself. She is beautiful and strong due to the help from her older siblings, and Alexis could not be more proud of the young lady she has grown into.
Alexis Chentouf
Bridesmaid
Peyton's gorgeous cousin, Alexis C., was a wonderful addition to Alexis’s life. This surprising connection developed later in their relationship and hit the ground running! After expressing the love they had for each other, these two became inseparable at every family function. You’ll find them in the corner with a drink in their hand exchanging stories, hysterically laughing. Alexis C. is a creative, loving, protective force of nature and those who know her wouldn’t have it any other way. Her talents include baking, floral arrangements, and always being Alexis’s dance partner at the bar. It only made sense for her to be a part of a special day celebrating love.
Kailey Sorenson
Bridesmaid
Peyton's astonishing cousin, Kailey, is the definition of beauty and brains. This civil engineer offers much more than knowledge and a beautiful smile. She is kind, loving, and puts aone hundred percent of herself into anything she does. Alexis and Kailey bonded over their love for family, Prosecco, and Taylor Swift. Kailey was extremely welcoming in the early stages of meeting the very large group of Sorensons. She assisted Alexis with remembering all the names and explaining all the relationships within the family. Now, when they get together, it feels like they have known each other their entire lives. You can often find Kailey on a beach somewhere, catching a flight, or spending time with her niece and nephew. Alexis and Kailey’s love for life and people has brought them closer throughout the years.
Avery Ellegood
Best Man
If you’ve ever gotten the pleasure to meet the Best Man, you know that he is full of life. Peyton and Avery met in high school through mutual friends. Senior year their friendship deepened through similar senses of humor and outlandish bits. After quickly becoming best friends, Peyton and Avery were roommates for the next seven years. Even though they joke that they are common law married, Peyton couldn’t imagine his actual wedding without Avery as his Best Man.
Carter Lankes
Groomsman
Cool as a clam, Carter has been Peyton's partner in crime since third grade. The pair practically lived at each other’s houses from elementary school until college, when they became roommates. These two can never keep a straight face when they are together and the same can be said for anyone in their company. Carter is a man of many talents, and as the lead singer and guitarist in his band, Dunies, his care-free, rockstar vibe keeps everyone entertained.
Zack Czajka
Groomsman
The ever reliable and responsible one of the group, Zack, is a great friend who has become more like a brother to Peyton over the years. They became good friends during high school and that eventually lead to them becoming coworkers and roommates throughout college. Although Colorado and Chicago are miles apart, their friendship remains strong as ever. They’re forever bonded over the horrors of working in the restaurant industry, crazy college memories and late night games of Warzone.
Bobby Sorenson
Groomsman
The first grandchild on the Sorenson side, Bobby has always been a role model for Peyton. Being the only boys for the first ten years, the cousins were more like brothers. Shooting hoops in the driveway, split-screening Halo 2, and playing manhunt with their sisters were some of their favorite things to do. Many of Peyton’s best childhood memories are hunkering down during hurricanes with Bobby and his family and staying at his house for the summers. Most of Peyton’s coolness was learned from Bobby.
Luke Shattuck
Groomsman
Peyton and Luke became friends in high school, after having homeroom together for almost 6 years. They became really tight their freshman year of college, when they were the only two of the friend group to hang back in Brevard.

Luke loves being a dad to his two girls, is a huge Alabama fan, and has the soul of a man 4x his age.
Austin Berry
Groomsman
Peyton and Austin met at Keg, where they trauma bonded over bartending until 3 AM every night. Ever since high school, Peyton has joked that he doesn’t want any more friends.

Austin works in the music industry, is a huge Jags fan, and loves to play Fortnite with his pals.
