Alysia & Conner
Wedding Party
India Taylor
Maid of Honor
Sugar and spice and everything nice. India Taylor has been the long term ride or die of the bride since her Aeropostale days. From milestones and hardships, India's carefree and sassy attitude has kept the bride grounded throughout it all. She has sat passenger seat in her best friends car trying to holla at Alysia while driving and lugging a Uhaul around the country. If you have any questions, don't ask her cause her attention will be on the bride and keeping her anxiety straight but you can definitely wave and say hello!
Quinten McElvain
Best Man
Quinten McElvain - Architect. From designing University Dorm rooms and Hospitals the twin/older brother by 15 minutes of the groom has an eye for detail and therefore a large capacity for caring and paying attention to the ones around him. "Q" has been the grooms best friend and confidant since the womb. The groom is looking forward to sharing this day with him, quoting the same movie lines and supporting each other throughout these unique milestones of life side by side.
Morgan Caselton
Bridesmaid
Please fasten your seatbelts and turn off your cellular devices because MC is going to be guiding the party throughout the weekend. Morgan flew her way into Alysias Top8 before tweet'n and blogging were a thing. If you hear two girls complaining about guests chewing with their mouths open while sippin the same drank and eatin the same food well you got it, its just the bride and Morgita holding down their 15 years of friendship.
Taylor Schoenekase
Groomsman
Did we just become best friends? Yep! Taylor has been the grooms partner in crime, closest secret keeper, 2am tequila shot call taker and overall the the grooms favorite person since middle school. They have experienced many stages in life together and crazy experiences that they choose to keep to themselves out of shame and/or embarrassment all while laughing non stop. The groom couldn't picture this day without Schoenekase high five-ing him by his side.
Natalie Mathews
Bridesmaid
Has anyone seen the show beavus and butthead? Or Spongebob Squarepants? Well if you haven't then you can just watch the bride and this one giggle away at nothing but yet read each others minds at the same time and get the premise of those shows and friendships. Natalie or surname, "Patrick", "Smatalie", "Anatomy" and the bride began their friendship in PT school while both sitting in a classroom for people who were on academic probation-- its ok they passed their boards so they're fine now.
Clayton Allison
Groomsman
The groom and Clayton met at The University of Arkansas- go Hogs! They were in the same fraternity, same classes and quickly became close friends. The groom even holds on to the fact that he is the one that introduced Clayton to his now wife gabby--- you're welcome. After many nights of late night studying and road trips, the groom feels lucky to have his friendship continually throughout life.
Samantha Spalding
Bridesmaid
What do you get when you mix a high strung bossy pants with a chill go with the flow Kentucky fried piece of chicken? Well you get the bride and "Sama"/"Kelly Rowland" (because the brides obviously the beyonce)'s friendship. Sam and Alysia slid into each others DMs when looking for roomies in PT school and although didn't room together, wiggled their way into each others circles anyways. She's the calm, cool and collected sense of fresh air that knows every rap lyric known to man. So how couldn't the bride fall in love with that mix?
Nick Cousin
Groomsman
If you need a good ol fashion laugh, while drinking an old fashion, Nick Cousin is your guy. The groom and Nick have known each other for close to 15 years and have stayed in each others lives with no hesitation. They are both saying "I Do's" to their partners this year so it only feels right for them to stand by each others side during these grand occasions and celebrating their great memories together all while continuing to make new ones.
Candi Bell
Bridesmaid
She'll take you to the candy shop ayyyyyyy. Just 9 months apart and a life of sisterhood have kept these two together with their bond growing every year. The bride always felt like the ugly duckling growing up next to this blonde bombshell but the countless number of dance routines performed in their kitchen to B2K solidified their friendship. Fast forward and she has become one of the brides closest confidonts and biggest cheerleader. Gather your pom poms ladies and gentleman because once this girl gets some fireball in her system, her face turns red, she can't stop giggling and she'll want to listen to 90s RnB alllll night
Asher Herbert
Groomsman
If the groom could pick one person in his life to which he feels is pretty much family, it would be Asher. The groom and Asher have always been each others greatest supporters in life, competitors in sports and has always kept the groom on his toes with his dark but yet clever sense of humor. The groom sees Asher as a surrogate McElvain and it only feels natural to have him by his side, while toasting to this stage just like they did when they cracked open their first beers together. The grooms father was NOT happy.
Jasmyn Allen
Bridesmaid
Does it make her the younger sister if the younger sister is taller than the older sister? Jasmyn has been a pain in the you know what to the bride since the beginning of time but somehow she can't seem to shake her. 24 years of fights, make ups and playing school teacher as kids have kept these two interlocked. If you've never met her she'll be wearing bright colored clothing, laughing at her own jokes and and more than likely jugging martinelles apple cider all while constantly holding back tears and supporting the bride throughout this adventure!
Siam Fiaz
Groomsman
Siam can be described as always up for anything, adventurous traveling, rooftop talks, sincere conversations and one of the few people that truly understands the grooms sense of humor. The groom met Siam in Portland, Oregon after he became the fourth roommate with 3 of the other groomsman and the two quickly gravitated towards each other and developed their own unique and loyal friendship.
Haley Porter
Bridesmaid
If Biggie, Tupac, Chance and Whitney Houston had a baby the child would more than likely be Haley Porter. From doing "the porter" while drinking her infamous mix drinks and taking a 4am uber ride for two blocks to 9pm bed times after watching hours of Summer Heights High and eating bomb food- Haley has been one of the OG clique members since the beginning of time. You will more than likely see Haley and the Bride having multiple heart to hearts and silently dancing next to each other in complete Bliss throughout the night.
Seth Shafersman
Groomsman
If the groom ever needs a carefree, listen to good country, drinken some cold beers while sitting shirtless in the backyard day he immediately calls Seth Shafersman. The groom met Seth while in Portland, Oregon, they became roommates, golfing buddies and continually talked each other off of ledges regarding work, relationships and stupid decisions. If you can't find the groom and Seth during the wedding, they are likely drinking a beer and watching in the jeopardy in the back room.
Chandler Kane
Bridesmaid
Tequilla, Taco Bell and Kesha are just a few of Chandler Kanes aka the Tasmanian devel's favorite things.. alongside Blink 182 and the bride of course. Chandler and the Bride began their friendship while both living in Corvallis and were mingled into the same friend group. Since those years, the two have developed an unexpected and unusual bond that continues to deepen as the years pass. Alysia can always count on Chandler to inform her if her hair or makeup look hideous, to be the first person to take the shirt off of their own back to help the bride when needed and the first person to ease the brides anxiousness while standing next to her throughout this chaotic thing called life.
Roberto Herrera
Officiant
Officiant/Groomsman/Roaster of the Bride and Groom Roberto was the first person that the groom introduced Alysia to when they first started dating and has been along for the journey for these past 5 years. From roommates to friendship, Roberto has helped the groom through challenging times with work, maintaining a long distance relationship and providing the groom with the utmost support and laughter. Roberto has become equally loved by both the bride and groom, with Roberto always putting the two in their places separately and together, and always ready for a rap lyric quote off with Alysia and a nice roast session towards the groom. It wouldn't be their day without Roberto not only standing by Conners side but also officially wedding the couple and celebrating their next stage of life!!
