Alexis & Whit
Wedding Party
Maddie Snyder
Maid of Honor
Maddie is Alexis' younger sister and best friend. As a sister, she is an expert clothes thief and will call you as many times in a row as it takes you to answer. As a best friend, she is fiercely loyal and gives some of wisest advice. She is also an advocate of always having "one more drink" which Alexis can never turn down. Maddie was also the first member of the Snyder family to confirm that Whit was "the one", so it only makes sense that she is standing by Alexis' side on this momentous day.
Boyd Smith
Best Man
Whit has known Boyd for his entire life. He's taught Boyd everything he needs to know to be successful. He's made sure he knows a few good jokes, how to play sports, and how to dress well. All he's asked in return is that Boyd provide a polite, adequate, and appropriate Best Man's speech that their mother will find enjoyable. Boyd gets the opportunity to pay his debt on May 30, 2020.
Ellen Hynes
Bridesmaid
Ellen is Alexis' cousin, but they are as close as sisters. Although she and her twin sister Mary are only 4 months older than her, Alexis has always been looking up to them, whether it was the latest fashion trends (Pitaya pants and butterfly clips) or which IU fraternities are guaranteed to play the most Backstreet Boys. Ellen and Alexis lived together after college and have a shared love of organizing a mess and a rousing game of Catan. The wedding day would not be complete without her.
Chris Drullinger
Groomsman
In 2009, Whit was a newly transferred junior at Purdue University. Chris was a fresh-faced freshman at the Lambda Chi Alpha house. Whit liked to talk a lot and Chris was the biggest guy in the room. A symbiotic relationship was agreed upon and they've been close friends ever since. Chris has had a front row seat for all of Whit's trainwreck relationships - Whit is thrilled that Chris will also have a front row seat for the day he finally gets it right.
Mary Fiedler
Bridesmaid
Mary is the other half of the cousin/sisters. She and Alexis share a love of crafting and baking, and can always be counted on to go too hard on a Halloween costume. She is one of the most joyful people to be around and is always on your team during a good vent session. A wedding without Mary by Alexis' side wouldn't be a wedding at all.
Jack Carney
Groomsman
Whit met Jack in the summer of 2009. Whit was new to Purdue and looking for a place to fit in. He was blessed to find that place along with Jack Carney. Post-college, Whit and Jack took on the "real world" by living together for roughly 4 years. Between the Box, the Carmel Mansion, and the Turnverein, Whit has found himself living in some awful places but with the best company. Jack Carney is a wonderful wedding guest and even better friend, Whit couldn't imagine his big day without him.
Maddie Leffel
Bridesmaid
Maddie Leffel and Alexis met in first grade. Alexis was shy and Maddie was anything but, so they were naturally drawn to each other. In 3rd grade, Alexis' family moved to a different school district, but that did not deter their friendship. Maddie is the kind of friend that would help you hide a body. From walking home from school to getting each other through the worst heartbreaks, they have been through everything together. Karaoke was involved the first time Maddie met Whit, and she said she knew Alexis would marry him when they crushed a "Summer Nights" duet.
John Trefz
Groomsman
John was wearing a Mario Kart swim suit the first day he met Whit. They hit it off immediately. Despite John's constant trips to Ibiza, they've been close friends for the past decade. He also shares the honor of being Whit and Alexis' first roommate. He's been an integral part of their relationship - the wedding wouldn't be complete without John Trefz on the stage.
Kylie Kehres
Bridesmaid
Kylie and Alexis sat next to each other in 6th grade choir. Their first bonding experience was realizing that neither one of them had a future in singing. They went on to swim together in high school and then live together at Indiana University. Kylie was truly Alexis’ rock through college. Alexis also told her she loved Whit before she told him. They have been together through many stages of life, and Alexis couldn't get married without her by her side.
Beau Rubendunst
Groomsman
When Whit first met Beau he kept getting him mixed up with Matt Buckley. A few years later, Whit and Beau have forged their friendship through countless basketball games, beer pong battles, and hours of Game of Thrones related board games, and has proven himself a much tougher adversary than Buckley. Whit's ecstatic that Beau is joining Team Whit for the big day.
