Trae & Alicia
Wedding Party
Alicia Dickinson
Bride
Hey! I’m the future bride! I am so excited for this new chapter in our life! I am so blessed to have Trae and to gain a whole new family. Trae and I have been on many adventures together. Every weekend he asks “What do you have planned now?” My favorite memories are when we get in the car to go somewhere and have serious conversations or just have hilarious conversations making fun of each other. I thank god everyday for giving me such an amazing, loving, and caring man❤️
Trae Dalton
Groom
Hello, everyone my name is Trae. I am lucky enough to be the future husband of an amazing and wonderful woman, Alicia. I could not imagine a life without her by my side. Everyday it seems like I find a way to love her even more, from her supporting me going back to school or even her and I joking with each other in everything we do. I can not wait to celebrate this amazing day with her and all of you.
Taylor Erb
Matron of Honor
Hi I’m Taylor! I am a mom, wife, & nurse practitioner. I met Trae through Jacob, my husband and the best man, then I met Alicia when she started dating Trae. They are two people I’m thankful to know, have in my life, and be able to call my friends! From playing cards against humanity until 2am on New Years to sitting on the back porch around the fire, there are several favorite memories I have with the couple! I am so happy for Trae & Alicia and I am so happy and thankful to have been asked to stand beside them on their special day.
Jacob Erb
Best Man
I’m Jacob. Trae and I became friends about 7 years ago. We've spent a lot of time golfing, hunting coyotes, hanging out, and occasionally making Trae's Mom disappointed in us. Trae has become my closest friend over the years, and I'm very happy to see him meet a great woman who has made such a great impact on his life.
Emma Strahler
Matron of Honor
Hello, my name is Emma. I’ve known Alicia since forever. We grew up neighbors, were in Girl Scouts together which is where we really got to know each other. Throughout school we played many sports together and were apart of the same clubs and groups. I could go on for hours about funny memories we have together. (More about that on the big day😁) I’m so excited to stand by my bestie as she marries her person.
Tyson Miller

Trae and I met in Elementary School. One day we decided to hang out and become friends and it never stopped from there. Our memories consists of sitting in the woods trying to be quiet to not scare the deer and playing many card games with friends.
Grayce Brannon
Bridesmaid
I met Alicia when she was selected to be my big in the business fraternity we were both in. We ended up getting close as we were both suffering through all of the accounting classes at Capital. Long story short, we ended up rooming together our senior year of college, and have been besties ever since! I wouldn’t have wanted to spend my senior year crying about accounting with anyone else ❤️ my favorite memory with Alicia is when we went to Johnson’s ice cream like every single day for the last 3 weeks of school - accounting finals had us down bad 🤣
Grayson Schott
Groomsman
Trae has become one of my brothers since the first time we met. In high school, Trae would stay at my house for so many days in a row, he eventually had his own bedroom. We have so many good memories and can’t wait to keep them memories coming in your new journey.
Abbie Casto
Bridesmaid
I first met Alicia at my first DSP event when i started at Capital. She was so welcoming to me and when we found out we were both in accounting is where the friendship began! We spent many times together before and after class just talking and having fun. We have traveled to some places together including one of my favorite memory’s of us going to DC and spending a day exploring. I am so excited to spend the day celebrating Alicia and Trae!!
Tyler Bradford

Hello, I'm Tyler Bradford, I'm in Trae's life as a family first, friend second. I've known Trae my whole life, l'd say my favorite memory of Trae is probably him being called “Kobe Bryant” during our basketball days and having that shit eating grin while performing.
Grace Tornes

Hi, I’m Grace. Alicia and I have been friends since early elementary school. Some of my favorite memories with Alicia is when we will meet up at a random parking lot, supposed to be a quick meeting, then will spend hours there talking.

Nick Grosklos
Groomsman
I’m Nick. Trae and I grew up all through school together and basically became each other’s second family. If I wasn’t at his house he was at mine. After high school we would spend our time playing flag football, hunting, or randomly walking the bike trail at midnight for no reason. Trae’s dated girls here and there but when I met Alicia I could tell there was something different and I couldn’t be happier for them both.

Hi I’m Taylor. Trae and I have known each other for years. However, we got closer when I started at MMH. From the crazy nights of working the floors together to hitting the tee times and smashing a few beers along the way. Trae has become like a brother to me. I’ve know Alicia through highschool and my wife Emma. When Alicia and Trae started dating me and Emma were so happy for them. They truly found their other halves.
Devin Layton

Trae and I have been close friends ever since elementary school. We have played basketball all throughout school and now we go golfing when we can.
Tiffany Dalton
Step Mother of the Groom
I am so incredibly proud to see the amazing man you’ve become and to welcome Alicia into our family. Even though my blood does not run through you, I am proud of you for the way in which you’ve grown. You both have become an important part of my life and the family that I love As you both embark on this new chapter, remember you have a loving family behind you cheering you on every step of the way and when things go wrong as they sometimes will, don’t get mad or hate. Just keep your head up and talk it out. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 says, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!"
Brent Bosley

Melody McKay
Mother of the Bride
Hi!! I’m Melody ... I’m the fortunate, proud, and blessed mother of Alicia. My oldest daughter has filled my life with more love that I could have ever imagined. She has always been so compassionate with a heart of gold. I am super proud of the journey she has chosen in life -- chasing her dreams, conquering challenges, and succeeding. Furthermore, I’m absolutely blessed to be gaining a son. (Thank You, Trae, for loving Alicia completely and bringing so much happiness into her life. You have found each other a best friend and soul mate.) The next chapter is coming soon for you two as married partners, and it will be full of adventures, opportunities, challenges, responsibilities, and romance. I read somewhere that a married couple needs to communicate openly, support each other’s dreams, forgive, compromise, laugh & have fun often, and always love & cherish each other daily. This is a huge commitment in life, with ups and downs, so don’t forget to hold onto your faith, prayers and each other… with that said, someway, somehow, everything will always be OK. May you cherish each other, be blessed with your health & happiness, and may your love continue to grow stronger. Congratulations!! I love you both.
Frank McKay
Father of the Bride
Hi I’m Frank, the father of a truly amazing daughter, Alicia. Over the years it’s been a true blessing to see her grow and develop into a smart and successful woman. There are countless moments when she has made me a proud dad but the proudest moments are yet to come. As for Trae, the first time I met him I was like who is this that has come to take my daughter out? First thing he did was shake my hand with a firm grip as he introduced himself. With that man grip, I knew from that moment that this is someone who could and would protect my little girl. Then when he asked Mel and me for permission to marry our little girl, I knew he was the right man for the job of loving and providing and protecting this very special lady that I watched grow up. On November 1st, not only do I get the honor of walking one of the most special ladies of my life down the aisle, I also gain a son in law. Congratulations to you both and I love you both!

Blessings will come with you every step of the way. I love you so much and I’m so proud of you and so proud of the man you are becoming and so blessed to have Alicia as a future daughter-in-law.

To my son Trae: Know that I love you and will always be there for you. No matter what, I've got your back. You are my son and always will be. I adore you, and there is nothing you could possibly do to change that. There may be times when we don't always see eye to eye, but I still love you and always will.
