Wedding Party
Nicole Whatley
Matron of Honor
Nicole is Aly's older sister. Nicole and Aly have always been those two sisters that were complete opposites. Aly being the extrovert she is, always found a way to annoy her sister, an introvert. Through the years, Aly has infiltrated Nicole's personal space and the two have formed quite a bond. Their time consists of laughter and very bad jokes.
Austin Puente
Best Man
Austin was one of the first people he met at Arizona State University. Having lived together their last year of college, they have shared many adventures. From trips to Havasu, a turnaround trip to Vegas for Austin's birthday or as simple as a trip to Safeway, it is never uneventful when these two are together.
Kristina Remon
Maid of Honor
Kristina and Aly have been inseparable since the two met during Aly's first year as a member of Valley of the Sun Active 20-30 Club. Kristina took her under her wing when she joined the club and they quickly became best friends. Aly will forever be grateful for Kristina introducing her to Alec. Couldn’t think of a better person to come on a first date with them! Alec & Aly are very proud of Kristina's accomplishments in commercial real estate! Aly is truly excited to stand by Kristina's side when she gets married in late 2025.
Will Nunn
Groomsman
Will is one of Alec's oldest friends. The two met in first grade when they found out they lived in the same neighborhood. From that point on they were inseparable. Other than Alec's family, Will has probably known Alec longer than anyone. Even though they live miles apart (Phoenix & Chicago) they always pick up right where they left off when they get to see eachother.
Caroline Iven
Bridesmaid
Caroline is a long time friend of Aly's. The two have been through it all. Aly could not imagine her life without her Carlflower in it. Carl and Al (The Boys) lived together for 2 years and have way too many memories together. Aly is extremely proud of the amazing mother Caroline has become to her beautiful daughter Grace (middle name Allison; which Aly happily tells herself is named after her!). Aly is so thankful for all the stages of life they have been through together and couldn't think of a better person to stand by her side.
Joseph Catullo
Groomsman
Joseph lived with Alec for their last two years of college, but they met through their fraternity at ASU. One thing Joseph always imparted on Alec, and their whole house in college, was the importance of sleep. Alec would constantly barge into Joseph's room, usually accompanied by Austin, to see why Joseph didn't want to watch a game, go to the bar or just hangout. Often times it was because he was sound asleep. However, the house adhered to a strict code for waking Joseph up, if he didn't have finals the next day, he was getting woken up.
Sydney Adams
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Aly first met when Sydney was a freshman at Arcadia Highschool. They both connected immediately during volleyball and realized how cool they both were off the court. Between Sydney's DJ skills and Aly's one-liners, the two were unstoppable. They've often caught themselves dreaming about doing stand up comedy together. Some of Aly's favorite memories with Sydney are when the two frolicked through Europe together. One time, Bill took the girls to Arizona Country Club to get dinner. It was during that meal that Bill told the pair that it was okay to date men. They clearly spent TOO much time together!
Colin Quinn
Groomsman
Colin and Alec met in the dorms at ASU. They spent much of Freshman year together in classes or just grabbing dinner at the dining hall. One particular night, Alec and Colin planned to go to the dining hall after meeting at Colin's room. Alec was tired so he took the elevator... down one floor... and got stuck. Colin, and a few friends, entertained Alec while the fire department was on their way by serenading him, updating him on college football scores and laughing at him the whole time. He was eventually saved by the fire department, but by then, the dining hall was closed. Alec took the stairs to Colin's room from then on.
Johnny Campion
Groomsman
Johnny and Alec met at the welcome concert their first month at ASU. Their personalities were very similar and when they joined the same fraternity the rest was history. Alec basically lived in Johnny's house sophomore summer and they spent many nights talking about their internships, golf, or just laughing over who knows what for hours. Alec's mom Susan, said it best on a drive home after a round of golf. It was the first time she met Johnny and on the way home she aptly said "I see why you two are friends".
Taylor Hefner
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Aly's relationship is a special one. They have been friends since Freshman year of high school. Taylor and Aly did just about everything together, including breaking just about every rule their parents had for them! Keep in mind, this is when Four Lokos were legal. Aly and Taylor couldn't bare the thought of not being together after high school and decided to dorm together at U of A. After many cases of rolling rock, bottles of Jägermeister, a trip to the Caribbean, and several Country Thunders, it's safe to say, Aly and Taylor know enough about each other that they can never get rid of each other. Aly had the honor of officiating Taylor's wedding and she can't wait to have Taylor there for her on her big day!
Alec Costello
Groomsman
Alec and Alec, Miller and Costello, Alec Squared, whichever way you put it these two were meant to be friends. Having enrolled at ASU, not knowing a single person, Alec's first friend at ASU was Costello. While waiting in the stir fry line at the dining hall, Costello noticed Alec was wearing a shirt that said, "Golf" and asked, "Do you play". From that point on, they found out they both liked golf, had the same name and lived in the same dorm. They joined the club golf team, the same fraternity and capped off their time at ASU by doing their honors thesis together. They have stayed close friends since that chance meeting freshman year.
Shelby Grant
Bridesmaid
Aly has known Shelby would be in her life for a long time, from the moment they first met. Shelby is full of life. Her smile and laugh are contagious. When Aly thinks of Shelby, she immediately thinks of a good time. Aly can always count on Shelby to push Aly's inner grandma to the side and bring out her fun side! Aly can't think of a more loyal and genuine person. She's very thankful for their 10 years of friendship. One of Aly's favorite times with Shelby was when Shelby took Aly to NASCAR. She hasn't laughed that hard in her entire life. It's amazing to have a friend who will sit by you when you are wearing a completely stupid t-shirt.
Kevin Murney
Groomsman
Alec met Kevin, Aly's older brother, for the first time when he was in town visiting. Having spent the last few years in Oregon working on the Portland airport renovation, Kevin has been away from Phoenix, but the stories about him and Aly were not. Alec and Kevin have spent several Murney family events together sharing stories, laughing and learning more about their future Brother-In-Law. Alec is excited to see the patented Kevin Murney dance moves leading the charge on the dance floor in Cabo.
Kayla Gladstone
Bridesmaid
Kayla and Aly met for what they thought was the first time during college when Kayla was at NAU and Aly was at U of A. They realized quickly that they had met before. They had met in St. Thomas during Aly's Graduation Trip. How crazy is that? Aly hosted a girls' weekend at the cabin and invited Kayla. It was there that the pair realized they had known each other much longer than they thought. Kayla and her family had a cabin right down the street from Aly's cabin. Not only that, but they played capture the flag as children together. It was truly a friendship that was meant to be.
Grant Adams
Groomsman
Grant and Alec met on the club golf team at ASU. They have spent many rounds on the course together and were roommates for years after college. They had many nights cheering or yelling at their favorite sports teams which culminated when they got to see Grant's San Diego Padres knock off the LA Dodgers in game 7 in San Diego a two years ago.
Lauren Miller
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Alec's older sister. Lauren currently lives with Alec & Aly at the Biltmore. Aly's cat, Zoey has taken a liking to Lauren. Sometimes Aly thinks the cat prefers Lauren over her. Lauren is an avid reader and is active in the theater. Aly and Alec really enjoyed seeing her in The Adam's Family last fall. Aly is excited to gain another sister and to share her new found love of books with Lauren.
Taylor Moorman
Groomsman
Like many other groomsmen, Alec met Taylor through their fraternity at ASU. They were in the same pledge class and dorm, but became closer after their time at school. Following college they both dove into their careers. Alec in commercial real estate and Taylor in, well... software systems and cybersecurity development? Something along those lines. Alec and Taylor spent more and more time together watching college football, talking about work or trying to learn from each other.
Kaitlynn Campbell
Something Blue / Wedding Planner
Kaitlynn and Aly first met on the grass lawn at U of A. Aly always says it was so easy to love Kaitlynn because the first thing Kaitlynn told her was that she looked like Kate Middleton. It's the best compliment Aly has received to this day. She knew she had to keep Kaitlynn around. The pair ended up being sorority sisters and quickly became twins, until Kaitlynn left her for LA. Kaitlynn is hands down the best wedding planner out there. Aly is constantly in awe at the events Kaitlynn has planned and the awards she has been nominated for.
Kelly Murney
Something Blue
Kelly is Aly’s sister in law and friend. Aly is so happy Kevin snagged a great addition to the family. Kelly has been nothing short of an amazing friend and a loyal sister. Aly enjoys her time with Kelly. Her favorite time with Kelly was when they did karaoke together in Portland. Kelly proudly sang Gold Digger loudly. Aly can’t wait for all the memories to come!
Kristen Macove
Something Blue
Kristen and Aly met through VOS. They truly bonded during their first board retreat. Aly and Kristen became two peas in a pod. Together they volunteered over 65 hours together and raised $35,000 for the kids. Their passion for helping the future of children their community has created a very strong bond. Aly can always count on Kristen to call with a wild story. One of her favorite times with Kristen was when they went down to Tucson to support the Tucson 2030 Club and celebrated Oktoberfest. Kristen and Aly got to witness someone pouring their margarita into a to go box.
Gracie Hunter
Flower Girl
Gracie is Aly’s god daughter. Aly was honored to be there when Caroline found out she was pregnant with Gracie. Aly will never forget the moment she got to hold Gracie for the first time in the hospital. Gracie is full of love, spunk, and giggles. She speaks more Spanish than most of us, thanks to daycare and always says “Te amo, Hasta Mañana” before going to bed.
Daniel Ripp
Ring Bearer
Daniel and Aly first met when they were lifeguards at Madison Pool for the City of Phoenix. They friendship has seen many phases of life. Aly and Daniel lived together in college for 2 years. Daniel never fails to remind Aly of the time she came home drunk and ate the entire inside of his Apple Pie, leaving Daniel with just crust. He is a very generous and loyal friend and Aly is honored to have him be a part of Alec and Aly's special day.
Harry Thorn
Officiant
Harry and Aly were in diapers together. Harry has always been "the neighbor" to Aly. Bill still calls him neighbor to this day. The two consider each other brother and sister. Harry and Aly used to stay up till 2-3am on the weekends and play Call of Duty and get stuck in the youtube vortex. Aly's parents never had sweets at the house, so Aly often abused the unlimited access to oreos and top shelf cereal at Harry's house. Harry swears he is bad at spelling to this day because Aly completed his spelling homework so they could hangout faster.
