Alyssa & Keith
Wedding Party
Heather Schorken
Maid of Honor
Heather is essentially my sister. We have been besties since First Grade at Hillside Academy. We have countless wonderful memories from decades of fun, and quite a few embarrassing stories we will take to the grave. Here are some of the things we have enjoyed together: Beanie Babies, Spice Girls, Theatre (Ha!), Quick-trip, Horrible Concerts, Texas State University, and decorating absurd Christmas cookies every year. I'm so lucky to have such a special friendship!
Blake Lang
Best Man
Blake and I (and Alyssa) became friends working together at the bar nearly 10 years ago. We have been through good times and bad times, fun times and stressful times and have always been able to finish the day with a smile and a laugh (though sometimes those actually came the next morning). There is no one I'd rather share this special day with!
Dawna Dougherty
Mother of the Bride
My Mom is my role-model and my best-friend. We always manage to have a blast anytime we are together. I have yet to meet anyone as compassionate and driven as her. She let me play dress up in her heels when I was 2 years old, and I am still trying to walk in her footsteps.
Debbie Downing
Mother of the Groom
There's not much more you could ask for in a mother. Debbie has been a huge part of all of our successes in life and has encouraged and coached us in every way possible, through the good times and the bad! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
Bill Dougherty
Father of the Bride
My Dad set the bar incredibly high. Somehow even after a long day at work, he still has time to be a master chef, impressive gardener and top-notch repair man. He knows what to say to make me feel like a princess, and he can make anyone laugh.
Vernon Downing
Father of the Groom
Vernon has been a lifelong role model, friend, mentor and confidant. No one has shaped me more as a person than my father!
Miranda Guthrie
Best Woman
Miranda and I met freshman year of high school, and instantly clicked! Our friendship only grew from there. After graduation we moved to Austin together into a tiny apartment off riverside. Those years were riddled with inside jokes and fantastic memories. She is a true gem of a best friend!
Carrie Gallagher
Sanity Specialist
Carrie has been such a great friend and help during this entire process, we just can't say enough nice things about her. Really have to credit her with making this day possible. And, of course, she and Dale have been so generous to open their home to all of us!
William Dougherty
Brother of Bride
William, or Billy, is pretty awesome. I've known him his whole life, and he still manages to surprise me with his quick wit, and quirky sense of humor.
Kayla Downing
Sister of Groom
Kayla is a wonderful, loving sister and we're so happy she's making the trek from the east coast just to be here for our special day!
Bella
Flower Girl
What can we say, Bella is the best part of EVERY day!
