Brandon Winkelman

Groom

I'm absolutely through the roof to be marrying my better half! Allison is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I look forward to spending the rest of my life with her by my side. This wedding is just the next part of our new adventures. Allison, I love you and I can’t wait to see how beautiful you look walking down the aisle on our special day!

Allison Markus

Bride

I am so beyond ecstatic to marry my best friend. The thought of spending every day with the person who knows me better than I know myself and loves me so fully is the greatest gift. This is more than just a wedding; it's the start of our forever, and I couldn't be more thrilled to write our story together.

Maid of Honor

Hi!! I am the one who made Allie an older sister! I am a nursing student at the University of Kentucky and am enjoying my time down in Lexington. While Allie and I may not have lived together for the past 6 years, she still makes sure to be the best big sister and is always there for me. I am so excited to be by her side and witness her and Brandons big day!

Mark Broering

Best Man / Matchmaker

I have known Brandon since we were little kids. We met back in grade school. Since then, we have been best friends. We would hang out together almost every weekend from that point on. He has always been a goofy, loving, charismatic, and stand up guy. Any time I needed someone to talk to or confide in I knew that Brandon would be there for me. He always has the best interest of others in mind. His family has become like a second family to me. I see Brandon as a brother. Getting to watch Allie and Brandon’s relationship grow over the past few years has been a blessing.

Kayle Kyle

Maid of Honor

Our friendship began 18 years ago in the third grade, instantly clicking over childhood chaos and a shared sense of humor. We navigated different schools, separate colleges, and now live eight hours apart, yet distance has never diminished our bond. We've been through it all—awkward phases, heartbreaks, and countless late-night calls. Through every version of ourselves, she has been the person who sees the best in me, even at my worst. Being her Maid of Honor is more than a title; it’s a celebration of a loyal friendship that has stood the test of time. 3 words to describe our relationship: Timeless, Loyal, & Constant

Hi! I’m the bridesmaid that’s crying! After I touch up my makeup you can find me on the dance floor! I am always down for a dance off, a laugh, or some karaoke. I have grown up admiring my cousin Allie, not only because she is better at karaoke than me, but because of her kindness, creativity, intelligence, and compassion for others. I am so exited to celebrate Allie and Brandon on their big day! Our Relationship in 3 Words: Compassionate (We're both so emotional), Humorous (We’re both always laughing), & Dependable

Jimmy Ramsey

Groomsman

Hi! Im Brandon’s cousin, Jimmy. Brandon and I have grown up together through every step of life. We spent every summer together at the lake or at each other’s houses when we were younger. I’m very honored to be in his wedding. I’ve known Allie’s family my whole life and I am so excited to have her be apart of our family. I can’t wait to celebrate Brandon and Allie’s big day!

Alexis Trowbridge

Bridesmaid

"Hall of Fame Ride or Die" best describes me. I'm always down to party (as long as someone is watching Amelia!). I have zero filter, and while my laugh might be a little ridiculous, you'll find yourself laughing because of it. Considering Allie and I are cousins, we've literally known each other forever. Our Relationship in 3 Words: Book Lovers, Blind-Leading-the-Blind, & Goofy

Groomsman

I’ve known Brandon since Allie first brought him home. He was a goofy kid a few years younger than me, but I could tell he was a great guy from there. It turned out goofy was an understatement, because he always made everyone laugh, whether he was telling the joke or was the butt of one. He’s a great sport who’s always smiling. Seeing him and my sister grow closer and closer throughout the years has been amazing, knowing my sister is lucky enough to be with a guy who will always keep things bright.

Kimberly Webster

Bridesmaid

I might not always look super excited, but trust me—I’m having the best time when I’m with the people I love. Allie and I may be cousins, but we’ve always been more like sisters. Life’s just better (and way more fun) with cousins like her. We’re loyal, silly, and totally unbreakable.

Andrew Wolfzorn

Groomsman

I first met Brandon in first grade at Saint Mary’s, and our friendship started not long after. We’ve shared a lot of good times over the years, including a few years living together, which came with plenty of laughs and memories I’ll never forget. Through it all, he’s always been someone I could count on, whether it was for something serious or just to hang out and have a good time. His friendship has meant a lot to me, and I’m proud to stand by Him and Allison on their special day.

Brooke Clos

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm Allie's older cousin—or as I like to call myself, her "Purple" cousin. It’s like when we were kids and everyone knew Allie always got the pink things and I got the purple things! We’ve grown up together, navigating all the highs and lows of family life. I might be bad at writing bios, but I’m great at showing up for the people I love, and I can't wait to celebrate the wedding of my pink-loving cousin.
