Maid of Honor
I met the bride in 6th grade and from that moment one we've been inseparable. From surviving the chaos of middle school to making unforgettable memories through the years. Alyssa has been my best friend, my sister, and my constant. I am beyond honored to stand by her side as her Maid of Honor. Seeing her happy and in love is everything and I can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with her.
Best Man
I've known Garrett since 2nd grade and I couldn't remember a time growing up where we weren't' together. I've gained many amazing memories with my boy Garrett and it's tough to pick a specific one so I'll just keep it simple and talk about how we met. Garrett and I first met thanks to our mom's mutual friendship, a planned get together at my house. Little did our parents know they had created a dynamic duo, one that will never be topped: Batman and Robin, Sponge Bob and Patrick, Mario and Luigi; not a single one of these duos can hold a candle to our greatness. In our meeting, I recall playing Pokemon Diamond on my DS. Garrett asked me what I was playing and I said "Pokemon." He said, "I have that game too" and it was history ever since. Who knew such a simple conversation would give me a life-long friend that I couldn't imagine not being in my life. When I found out Garrett got engaged, I got choked up. My best bud found a gal he wants to spend the rest of his life with and an amazing gal Alyssa at that. They are a perfect match. I've known Alyssa since high school and let me tell you, since then I have been their perfect third wheel. Seeing Garret and Alyssa's relationship grow, has given me hope that love still exists in this world. I've been rooting for this couple since day 1. I am so utterly grateful to be Garrett's best man and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Bridesmaid
My first memory meeting Alyssa was barging through my brothers bedroom door to ask if she wanted anything from the gas station, mostly because I had to see for myself that my little brother brought home a girl. I am sure she thought I was crazy because we had my pet goat and duck running through the house. I am so happy that even seeing all of that she decided to stay with my brother. I can not wait to be a bridesmaid on their special day!

I met Alyssa during orientation of dental hygiene school and that's when our friendship began. From her witty banter to her ability to make me laugh until tears streamed down my face, I was instantly captivated by her. I love all the memories we have made and even though we are years a part, it felt like our paths were always meant to cross. I am incredibly proud of her accomplishments and can't wait to witness her embark on this new chapter of her life as she gets married. Here's to celebrating the next phase of her journey! Cheers! :)

I met Alyssa while in hygiene school. She wasn't with us everyday during our first semester and I didn't know much of her at first until my carpool group had mentioned 'Alyssa' and that she would be riding with us. Little did I know she would become a really good friend of mine throughout my time there. She quickly became someone that I cared about and someone I was thankful to call my friend. My favorite memory of Alyssa is her asking me one morning if my daughter, who at the time was a baby, would be riding with us so that she could warm up her car during the cold. She also went out of her way to ask Joney, Garret's mom (AKA Phoenix's Colorado Grandma) to help me babysit my daughter so that I could attend clinic. That alone showed me how thoughtful and kind she was. Although I didn't continue with school, she kept in touch and was there for me during tough times. I will always be grateful to the universe for allowing us to cross paths.

One core memory I have with Garrett is when I stayed the night at his house and we switched off one person trying to throw a ball into the dog water bowl and the other running back a 100 yard kick off return.

I've had the honor of knowing Garrett since the first day of sixth grade. From awkward middle school days to now, our friendship has always been something I've valued. He's the kind of friend who always comes through when I need him, and what I love most is that we never need to talk every day to stay close. No matter how much time passes, we always pick up right where we left off. I've also had the pleasure of knowing Alyssa since seventh grade. She's always been one of the most bubbly and positive people I've known, and I couldn't be happier that she and Garrett found each other. She truly centers him in the best way, and I'm excited to see them continue to grow together as a couple. I'm honored to be part of their special day.

I remember meeting Garrett at the bus stop for middle school. Initially I thought he was this football jock and that we would never get along. To my surprise he was just as much of a nerd as I was especially when it came to video games. Little did I know that this "football jock" would become one of my greatest friends and someone that I consider a brother.

I met Garrett through my brother, but didn't get close to him till we both started sharing out interests of call of duty. Through out the years I've gotten to know Garrett as on of the greatest most down to earth people I know. No matter the occasion or who's around, it always seems to come down to just the two of us seeing who can make the other laugh at the kind of stupid jokes only we understand.

I'm Tristan one of Garrett's really cool friends! Garrett has always been a good friend and no matter what is always down for anything. Whether that is having to deal with me for an entire 14 hour road trip to a Call of Duty event or us attempting to defuse the bomb in VR that we have to restart 100 times because I am not good at giving directions! And after all of our late night food runs he still didn't choose to marry me... Not sure how to end on of these but congrats to Garrett and Alyssa! Sincerely Tristan.

I met Garrett way back in grade school. We never talked until one day at our step sisters volleyball practice he taught me the "Ice Cream Man' song to the tune of "Iron Man" and cracked me up. Since then we've played football and basketball, made music and videos, gone to concerts and movies, and basically grown up together. His father Christopher tended to my injuries and Miss Joney was like another parent to me. I've been happy to call Garrett my brother and can't wait to see him marry his best friend.
Flower Girl
Meet Vivian, our adorable flower girl and the maid of honors sweet 2.5 year old daughter. With a huge personality and mind of her own, whether she walks, skips, or pauses to admire the flowers, she's sure to add an extra touch of sweetness before her aunties big moment.
Ring Bearer
Giannis is an amazing 5 year old ring bearer! He's a perfect mix of shy and energetic, quiet one moment and running full speed the next. With a lively spirit and witty little mind he keeps everyone on their toes. Just like his dad, he's a big fan of gaming, but he's just as happy climbing, jumping, and exploring outside whether on the playground or hiking trails. We're so excited (and maybe a little nervous) to see how fast he makes it down the aisle!
