Wedding Party

Katharine Miller

Matron of Honor

Alyssa's oldest sister and best friend

Amanda Hoelscher

Matron of Honor

Alyssa's middle sister and best friend

Stephanie Bakewell

Bridesmaid

On my first day of work, Stephanie came up to me and boldly said "Hey, our shirts kinda match, we should be friends". Being one of my first friends made post college, I quickly grew to know Stephanie as one of the sweetest and loving people I have ever met. We have been through alot together (see trio: Stephanie, Alyssa, and Hannah) including the oil and gas downturn, many nights of sad and happy tears eating dinner at Paulie's, and too many El Tiempo margaritas to count. I am so lucky and thankful our company and God's timing allowed our two paths to cross.

Hannah Murphy

Bridesmaid

Like Stephanie, I was lucky enough to get to know Hannah through our rotational program at work post grad. As a fellow Aggie, I cannot help but think that God has a peculiar way of placing people in our lives when we need them most. To imagine that we probably passed each other’s ways at an aggie baseball game or in the halls of Wehner High, I am so amazed of God’s timing. We have been through alot together and Steph and I are still waiting for her to move back to Houston (!!). Hannah is hands down the most beautiful person inside & out and her relationship/marriage with Kyle is always one Eric and I will look up to.

Taryn Blair

Bridesmaid

Taryn - the cutest 3rd grade teacher you will ever meet and one of the most loyal friends and sweetest girls I know. Taryn transferred from OU to A&M and as tri delts, we automatically made an instant friendship. Flash forward five years, now living in Houston together, she has became my ultimate support, aunt to my kitties, and my go to girl for anything. I thank God that Taryn (and Jayma) made the move from being Dallas girls to Houston. Taryn is always the life of the party but more importantly, has a heart of gold. Eric and I are so happy she will be standing by our side on our wedding day.

Jayma Mickler

Bridesmaid

Sweet Jayma. Jayma and I met in the beginning of college in our sorority Tri Delta and she has been there through it all. From helping me pick out my outfit to first meet Eric's parents, to countless date parties, and how could I forget the time we had Fiji pledges drive us to the Ole Miss game (with a stop in Nola on the way of course)? We've gone from living in the tri delta house together to now just living a mile a part in Houston. Jayma has been a constant rock in my life and I am so grateful to have her as one of my best friends.

Kate Gillespie

Bridesmaid

Kate and I met in kindergarten in Brenham. One of my many favorite memories of Kate is calling her the school night before 2nd grade and coordinating our Mary-Kate and Ashley outfits we both had from Wal-Mart. On that note, I'm pretty sure her parent's house phone number is the only phone number I have memorized to this day. Not only is it that she was the youngest of three sisters like me, or that we went to the same small church, or that we cheered together 6 years, or that we decided on only applying to A&M, but the best thing about Kate and I's friendship is after all this time, we can pick up where we left off no matter what. I have always looked up to Kate for her consistent attitude of treating anyone she meets as her friend and I am so grateful she has chosen to be one of mine.

Maggie Sullivan

Bridesmaid

My sweet little baby cousin is no longer a little girl anymore but I am so proud of the woman she has become. I have watched Maggie grow up from spending every Christmas with her into this beautiful, smart, caring person now attending Penn State University. Not only is she majoring in Engineering but the girl is fluent in Mandarin Chinese (like what!?). After all these years, my only disappointment is I couldn't convince her to be an Aggie. I am honored Maggie will be by my side on my wedding day.

Dickson Garnett

Groomsman

Eric's high school rugby rivalry later turned college roommate/rugby teammate. Taught Alyssa all she knows about Call of Duty.

Lily Sullivan

Honor Attendant

The biggest blessing in the Sullivan family is how lucky they are to have Lily as a daughter. From the little girl I remember, she has grown into a beautiful, driven woman who is a star field hockey player at her high school and in the state of Maryland. My favorite memories with Lily are Cole and her trying to play pranks on us girls while we were in Maryland for Christmas. She was so sneaky and absolutely loved being around Cole. I am so thrilled she will be a part of our wedding day.

Caroline Webb

Honor Attendant

I've known Caroline ever since she was a teeny tiny little girl running around in muddy boots in the pasture. We have always shared a passion for horses and luckily she was always only a horse ride away growing up. She has the sweetest soul and I truly admire her for her strength in life. I couldn’t imagine our day without Caroline and her sweet family.
