Alexis & Tristan
Wedding Party
Ashlyn Rudd
Maid of Honor
Ashlyn may be my little sister, but she has had my back since before she could talk. She is direct, kind-hearted, and has such a creative mind. As kids, she was the one who could play independently for hours, while I was clingy and never wanted to be alone. I would try to play with Ashlyn by telling her how the game should go, but her creative mind was not about my rules and limitations. Ashlyn helps me not take life too seriously. She has been by my side since the day she was born, and I am so grateful to have her standing by my side on my wedding day.
Patrick Noeldner
Best Man
In the words of G.O.B from the show Arrested Development, "We're brothers... And we kind of like each other." Patrick is my older brother, and as we've gotten older we have become closer through our love of disc golf, cold beer, and gaming (although not necessarily in that order). Patrick has become a great friend to me and I'm excited to have him stand beside as my best man.
Christine Torres
Bridesmaid
Christine and I met in third grade. We had countless sleepovers, many attempts at all nighters, and created many plays and "music videos" together. Although we didn't see each other as often after I moved to Katy, we still stayed in touch and picked up right where we left off when we would see each other. Then I convinced her to come to Blinn with me, where we were roommates for the first two years of college. She has been part of most of my milestones in life, and I am so thankful to have her be a part of this one, as well.
Matt Davis
Groomsman
Matthew and I began our friendship in pre-school, and it has definitely stood the test of time. As one of my oldest friends we have had many adventures together. Most were typically started by one of Matt's hair-brained schemes that inevitably led to us getting hurt and my mom complaining about dirt covered clothes. Matt is one of the most loyal people I know and a great friend. I'm excited to have him stand by me on my big day and for many years to come.
Gretta Schieffer
Bridesmaid
Gretta was one of the first people I met in Katy. Since 7th grade, I have admired her ability to be so carefree and make even the most mundane tasks entertaining. Over the years, we have made so many memories including school dances, "Doodle Bug" races in the backyard, living together in college, college ring ceremonies, graduations, and so much more. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to stand next to her on her wedding day, and I cannot wait for her to stand next to me on mine.
Parker Rodrigues
Groomsman
Parker and I met in college while working at Ronin Farm in Bryan. After we discovered we were both born in the same hospital, in the same small town in California we instantly became friends. Many a night were spent around a fire pit with Parker, a few other good friends, and plenty of Shiner Bock as we solved all the problems of the world. Parker is one of the kindest people i know and someone whose willing to do anything for his friends. Im excited to see my friend again as he stands beside me on my wedding day.
Nicoletta Sarantidis
Bridesmaid
I met Nicoletta on my first day of 7th grade. We were both new students and just happened to end up at the same table for lunch. We called Nicoletta the mom of the group because she was the voice of reason when we were thinking about doing something stupid. She moved to New York for college, but we make it a point to get together every time she comes back to town. I am so excited that she will be making the trip to stand by me on my wedding day!
Travis Raabe
Groomsman
Wherever Travis goes, good times are sure to follow! Travis and I met in college while working at Ronin Farm in Bryan. From the first time we worked together we became instant friends. Travis is a good ole boy with a heart of gold that would do anything for his friends. Im honored to have him by my side on my wedding day.
Hannah Snowberger
Bridesmaid
I met Hannah the summer before our sophomore year of high school. She moved into the house right next door to Nicoletta, so the three of us hung out pretty often. I think it took Hannah some time to get used to my crazy personality, but once she did the rest is history! Over the years we have made memories taking weekend trips, celebrating birthdays, and visiting each other in college. I am so excited for her to be part of my wedding, to make more memories and go on more fun adventures together!
Cole Shannon
Groomsman
Cole is my "little" cousin, we truly became friends when we both went to school in college station and while working at Ronin Farm. Cole is an awesome friend who is always down for a good time, and a bite to eat. We have had many conversations over a sandwich and a slice of pie at Must Be Heaven in downtown Bryan. Im glad that he is standing by me to celebrate on my wedding day.
Megan Noeldner
Bridesmaid
When Tristan and I first started dating, Megan lived in North Carolina. I officially met her for the first time when she came down to visit, and we all went bowling. I remember being so nervous because I knew how much Tristan loved his sister, and I really wanted to make a good first impression. Since then, she has moved back, we've been roommates, and have been on many other adventures together. I am so grateful that she is going to be a part of our wedding, and that I will be gaining another sister!
Michael Reyes
Groomsman
Michael is Ashlyn's (Alexis' sister) boyfriend. I've gotten to know him over the past couple of years and we've slowly become good friends. Michael is a stand-up guy, but knows how to have a good time. We haven't had many adventures yet, but I'm sure there will be some in the near future. I'm excited to have Michael join us on our big day!
