Alyssa & Aaron
Wedding Party
Taylor Bush
Matron of Honor
My sister-in-love, but also one of my very best friends! Taylor has walked closely with me through many seasons. She is the calm to my crazy, and has been such a sweet example to me of a Godly wife. I can't wait to have her stand beside me!
Hannah Stumbo
Maid of Honor
Hannah and I met at youth group in 2015 and quickly became forever friends. Five (or more?) moves, job changes, vacations, ministry pursuits, and countless seasons later, this girl has been there through it all. She truly is the best listener, encourager, prayer partner, and celebrator. I can't wait to have her stand beside me!
Natalie VanDerWilt
Bridesmaid
Where do I even start?? Natalie was my Pre-K bestie. We found commonality in our matching short blonde haircuts (due to us being our own stylists), crazy ideas, and adventurous ways! We became daily pen pals, then church friends, to basketball besties, to now adults. The good, the bad, and the ugly -- we have truly walked EVERY season of life (thus far) together. I couldn't imagine this day without her...so thankful to have her standing with me!
Haven Stephens
Bridesmaid
I remember being smack in the middle of 3 boys and praying for a little sister...then God gave me two at once! Haven has just about seen it all in me...I've changed her diapers, babysat her, coached her in basketball, and now I'm forever friends with her. She is competitive, smart, beautiful, and sweet. Being her big sister has been my favorite, and I am so excited she will be standing with me!
Hanna Stephens
Bridesmaid
Being the other half of that answered prayer, Hanna is so precious to me. She was a real life baby doll for me then, and my forever friend now. She is my car jammin', basketball playing, picture taking buddy. She is sweet, sensitive, compassionate, and kind. I am SO excited to have her stand with me on this special day!
Emma Wagner
Bridesmaid
Emma was one of the first close friends I made in San Antonio before meeting Aaron. It only took moments of chatting for us to know we were SOUL SISTERS! She has been one of my closest friends, my prayer warrior, and encourager. She truly inspires me in every way...I am SO grateful for her friendship, and I am honored to have her stand beside me!
Eva Bartsch
Bridesmaid
When Eva and I began working together in 2016, our work days seemed like mere seconds because we spent the entire time talking (while working, of course ;)) about our faith. God just knitted our hearts so closely with our similar testimonies, desires, and passions for the things of God. We have been co-workers, been in Bible studies together, and most of all, she has been one of my closest friends and prayer partners. She is such an example to me of being totally sold out and surrendered to Christ in every way. So thankful for her and I can't wait to have her stand with me!
Aaron Smith
Best Man
Aaron was one of my closest friends at Texas A&M. We have participated in the same campus organizations, rowed together for the Aggie crew team, faithfully encouraged each other through ups and downs, and cracked up over many what-if scenarios. I served as his best man in 2019, and I am so grateful he can return the favor.
Scott Ingram
Groomsman
Scott was my first friend at Texas A&M. He and I cultivated a group of roommates that would endure for our entire college career. After sharing the same church, campus organization, college classes, study hours, and friends, we have a limitless supply of sweet memories and inside jokes. God has been very kind to me by blessing me with Scott's steadfast friendship.
Bobby West
Groomsman
Bobby was my first friend at my church in San Antonio. His intentionality introduced me to a community that the Lord has used to challenge, grow, and develop me spiritually in my years after college. Bobby has been been a fun part of camping trips, group hangouts, and spiritual accountability over the last 3 years.
Cannon Spears
Groomsman
Cannon became a part of my church family about 2 years ago and I was blessed with the opportunity to connect with him right away. Our adventures have included leading in the church youth group, laughing together during movie nights, sharing honest spiritual coffee chats, speaking countless words of encouragement, and growing in a men's group together.
Austin Bush
Groomsman
Austin is my bride's older brother. In my time dating Alyssa, Austin has been intentional to serve his sister by "vetting" the guy driving 6 hours to visit her every month. He has welcomed me into his own family, taught me how to shoot a pistol, and bested me in roping a dummy calf.
Rein Stephens
Groomsman
Rein is my bride's next brother down. He cares for his family so well and his quick humor will catch you by surprise. He is also a reigning champion basketball coach, a financial expert, and probably the best player in the American Cornhole League - seriously, play on his team.
Gage Stephens
Groomsman
Gage is my bride's younger brother and my roommate every time I've stayed in Paris. He is a blast to spend time with and exhibits maturity beyond his years. His sharp eye for interior design has helped Alyssa and me pick our future apartment. He has refinished multiple furniture sets for us (HIRE HIM). And his expertise as a connoisseur of coffee shops has taught me to not settle for Starbucks.
Jase Bush
Ring Bearer
Alyssa's first nephew, and he is so excited to be a ring bearer in our wedding!
Rhett Stephens
Ring Bearer
Rhett is Alyssa's youngest brother, and we are so excited to have him on our ring bearer squad!
Sadie Stephens
Flower Girl
Sadie is Alyssa's second-youngest sister and the princess of the family. She is excited to be a flower girl for us!
Abby Stephens
Flower Girl
Abby is Alyssa's youngest sister, and is thrilled for her first flower girl experience!
Lois Brune
Flower Girl
Aaron's baby niece! Lois is honored to participate as a flower girl a month shy of her first birthday!
