Allison & Alex
Wedding Party
Heather McPhail
Maid of Honor
As Alli's sister, you could say that Alli and Heather have literally known each other their entire lives! They share a love of food, good cups of coffee, kitties, dessert, traveling, and having a good laugh. And no, Alli and Heather are NOT twins ;-)
Alex Howe
Best Man
Alex and Alex met on the playground in Elementary School and have been best of friend ever since. Recently, Alex served as Alex's best man in his wedding, and now Alex is returning the favor.
Joanna Tzilos
Bridesmaid
Joanna and Alli met years ago while working at the same architecture firm in Ann Arbor, MI. They hit it off quickly, sharing interests in food, wine, cats, having a good heart to heart about life and boys, and cracking up about just about anything.
Nick Stroud
Groomsman
Nick and Alex met in junior high and quickly started several businesses together including a CD burning business and a stereo building business. They roomed together in college, and Nick even had Alex be his best man several years ago. Nick currently lives in Florida but one day Alex hopes he will return to his mid-west roots for good.
Alison Gould
Bridesmaid
Alison and Alli met years ago through Alison's husband who worked at the University of Michigan with Alli's sister. Alison was earning her PhD in Biology at UM right next to where Alli worked. The two quickly discovered they could meet for lunch each day, grab a bowl of salty ramen, and ended up becoming great friends! Most weekends you could find Alison and Alli, aka "Quatro," at a yoga or workout class and then eating good food & wine while crafting in the evening.
Graham Newman
Groomsman
Graham and Alex met in an online chatroom in 2011. After this chat (formally referred to as an "Skype interview"), Alex moved to Ann Arbor and the two became co-workers. Aside from being great co-workers, Alex and Graham grew to become great friends and the two enjoy regular meetups at local watering holes.
Adam Bentley
Officiant
Adam Bentley and Alex met on the baseball field where they both played for the 'unforgettable' New York Mets. Adam and Alex still have spirited debates about which of them was a better pitcher which has been the basis for them speaking for the last 17 years. Alex was better if anyone asked. Alex also introduced Adam to his wife Nikki, and was Adam's best man several years ago.
