Bray is the first person to bring you a coffee when you’re having a bad day. <3

Alyssa and Rachel met in 2nd grade and have been inseparable ever since. Rachel is more of a sister than a friend to Alyssa. She is busy finishing up nursing school, but always makes time to check in on her friends whether it’s a late night walk, wine night, or phone call. She’s always so thoughtful and the friend who buys you gifts because she saw something and knew you had to have it!

Paige
Flower Girl
Paige is 5! She’s Alyssa and Dakota’s only niece. Paige’s personality is just like Aunt Lyss and although it can be a handful sometimes, it’s always too much fun. Paige calls Dakota “Uncle Hat” or “Hat” because when she learned to talk, saying Dakota was hard and he was always wearing a hat so it just stuck. <3
