Wedding Party
Alyssa Fennig
Bride
I met Peyton through a mutual friend, Megan Rickord. However, what many people don't know is that I actually first saw Peyton at Target in Bloomington during Covid, a year before we officially met. We coincidentally left the store at the same time, and I saw him get into a black charger, and thought he was super cute! And now, three years later, that cute stranger has become the love of my life and is soon to be my husband! From the moment I met Peyton, I knew he was the one I had been dreaming of since I was a little girl. He embodies everything I could ever pray for in a husband. He is my rock, my biggest supporter, and my constant source of happiness. Peyton is so passionate in everything he does, he has unwavering love, and his infectious laughter brightens my days in ways I never thought possible. I seriously cannot wait for the day when we say "I do" and get to spend forever with my best friend. - Alyssa
Peyton McHale
Groom
Since the second I laid eyes on Alyssa I knew she was too good for me. And she is. This girl is the absolute sweetest human on earth and has made me a better man, son of God, and human. Alyssa is the best thing that has ever happened to me and i’m beyond excited and blessed to take these next steps with her and create the life and family I have always dreamed of. I love you Lyss! - Peyton
Brooklyn Fennig
Maid of Honor
Brooklyn, my little sister, has been BEST FRIEND since she was born when I was just seven years old. Over the years, our bond has only gotten stronger (even when she would steal my clothing, through arguments, and all the ups and downs sisters face!). We literally share everything together, from laughter to secrets, and even food to clothing, and I've always cherished the role of being her older sister. Some of my favorite memories with my sister are FaceTiming every morning while we get ready for school/work (even if she doesn't always want to wake up when I do ;) ), slumber parties, and watching Cody Ko. Some of HER favorite memories include us jumping on the trampoline together, creating slime in the back room, and playing Mermaids in the pool until we turn into prunes! I couldn't ask for a better build in best friend, and I'm grateful for her unwavering support and love. Whether we're exploring new adventures or simply enjoying each other's company, our connection is a unwavering and comfort that I treasure deeply. I couldn't do life without her. - Alyssa
Paul Scheumann
Best Man
One of the best decisions that I have ever made was when I took a chance and roomed with a random guy named Paul for college. Little did I know, that random decision would lead me to one of the most cherished friendships of my life. Paul has become not only one of my best friends but also someone I trust with everything. His loyalty, kindness, and unwavering support have made him not just a friend, but a brother to me. - Peyton
Devin Barksdale
Best Man
Devin and I had seen each other around for a while, but we never really connected. It wasn't until we started hanging out with the same group of friends that we got to know each other better, and man, did we hit it off! Now, we talk every day, and some of the best memories I have in life are with Devin. Devin's presence and support has been a constant source for me in my life and I consider him more than just a friend he's like a brother to me. There’s only been positives in our friendship and I pray everyone has a friend like you are to me in their lives! - Peyton
Mariah Quaintance
Matron of Honor
Mariah is not just a future sister-in-law but also one of my best friends. I have so many reasons to be thankful that God put Peyton and I together, but a huge reason is that through Peyton, God also brought me Mariah. She is indeed one of a kind and makes every moment together enjoyable! Not only is she my shopping buddy, she is also the one that helps me keep my life together when it seems all out of whack! From texting almost everyday, to helping each other move in, all the way to scrubbing my floors - I know that Mariah has my back and will always be there for me and Peyton. I confide in her without hesitation, knowing that she always has our best interests at heart. Welcoming her into my life feels like gaining the bigger sister I've always wanted, and I eagerly anticipate the adventures and laughter we'll share. - Alyssa
Adam Quaintance
Groomsman
Adam, my brother-in-law, is not just family; he's like the older brother I never had and a great friend rolled into one. Even though he's married to my sister, we've always clicked as friends. Whether we're joking around, giving each other advice, or just hanging out, Adam's always there for me. I appreciate having him around because he's more than just a brother-in-law to me. He’s a true friend and I’ll always appreciate how often he pushes me to grow as a person! - Peyton
Owen Lantz
Groomsman
Owen has been a constant friend in my life since we were kids. From playing sports together in our younger days to hitting the gym and hanging out again constantly. We've shared countless memories, wins, and even a few losses, but through it all, Owen has been a brother to me. I feel incredibly fortunate to have him as a friend, and I'm excited about the experiences ahead of us. Our friendship is a true blessing, and I can't wait to see how it continues to evolve in the future. - Peyton
McKenna Stahl
Bridesmaid
McKenna and I have been best friends since high school, and she’s always been there for me through thick and thin. Whether it was endless sleepovers, figuring out life together during Covid, or just sharing countless laughs, we’ve created some of my favorite memories together. McKenna has a way of making everything better, and I’m so thankful for her friendship. She’s been such an amazing friend, and I love her so much. Having her by my side on our wedding day is something I’m truly grateful for.
Shaelyn Mountz
Bridesmaid
Shae and I attended the same high school and played volleyball together. Shae is 2 years older our friend groups didn't really collide. Other than volleyball, our paths never crossed until years later when we reconnected through Mariah. I can 100% say that I am BEYOND thankful that Mariah was able to bring Shae and I together. Shae is such an amazing friend and so much fun to be around. She is the life of the party, easy-going, and always in a positive mood. She is genuine and has such a pure heart that shines through in everything she does. It is so effortless to be Shae's friend, and I can't image not having a lifelong bond filled with laughter, adventures, and lots and lots of fun! - Alyssa
Ali Barber
Bridesmaid
Ali entered my life unexpectedly Senior year in a communications class. Ali and I had MAYBE had 2 conversations throughout the entire semester, until our professor paired us up for a group project. Our group met a couple of times to prepare for our final, and Ali and I just clicked! We went out for dinner and drinks and talked every once in a while, but nothing too serious. But THEN, second second semester of senior year rolled around and I get a message in one of my classes "Pause what class are you in rn!" and just like that, fate gave us another reason to be best friends! Ali is a kind, loving, God fearing woman that I look up to, even if she is younger! Despite the distance between us, I'm confident that our friendship is one that will last a lifetime and I cannot wait to see where life takes us! -Alyssa
Greyson LaRocque
Groomsman
Greyson and I have known each other for as long as I can remember. We grew up together, shared countless childhood memories, and played on the same teams throughout school. We were also college roommates down in Bloomington! I’m beyond grateful to share this special day with someone who has been such an important part of my life. 512!!
Emily Gutman
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met through Peyton, Junior year of college. Through lots of hangouts, late nights, celebrations, and many tequila shots later, Emily and I became amazing friends. So much so, that her, me and Audrey actually became roommates Senior year! It didn't take long for us to become the dynamic trio of fun... and trouble! Emily is such a consistant and chill friend, and being friends with her is SO easy. There's never a dull moment with Emily, especially when you get her and Peyton in a room with Trivia, and wine drunk Audrey (LOL). From nights out to movie nights in, Emily has become a friend that is irreplaceable. She is a life long friend 10000000%! - Alyssa
Conely Fourman
Groomsman
Conley is an awesome friend of mine from IU, and has been a trusting, loyal, and genuine friend since started hanging out! We always have a blast together, and our memories from IU will always be iconic! I'm grateful for every time we get together because no matter how causal, we always have a great time. - Peyton
Macy Smith
Bridesmaid
While Macy is my little cousin, she is more like another little sister to me. She has been there through it all! Macy and Brooklyn have always been a dynamic duo. Growing up, they were notorious for always being mischievous, especially towards me. Now, as we’ve all grown older and supposedly wiser, they’ve upgraded their game. But let’s be real, they’re still the same mischievous pair who never miss an opportunity to team up on me. Some things never change, and honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way! My favorite thing is getting group FaceTime calls from both girls and answering the phone to them with their arms and legs crossed, giving me some sort of crazy proposition lol. From TikTok's, to pickleball, to cozy sleepovers at Grandma Leesa's, Macy has been an huge part of my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for her. We cannot wait to have her by our side on our big day. - Alyssa
Ryan Shrek
Groomsman
Ryan has been a good friend of mine fire a little bit now. Whenever we’re together we always have a great time and i’m beyond blessed to have been able to create a stronger relationship with him these last couple of years. He’s always been solid to me and that’s one of the things I appreciate the most about our friendship. I’m very excited and look forward to seeing how much stronger our relationship will develop as we go on! - Peyton
Gavin James
Groomsman
Gavin has always been a really good friend to me and I have always loved hanging out with him and competing against him in sports. One of my favorite memories with him is watching the College National Championship together during New Years at Kalahari. I also have made a ton of memories when we would all sleep over and mess around in the movie theatre of his parents house. - Peyton
Caroline Morrison
Bridesmaid
Caroline and I were roommates our freshman year of college, and she’s 100% the reason I didn’t go back home after the first semester when I was super homesick! She’s been with me through thick and thin, helping me face some of life’s biggest challenges. Caroline has such an amazing heart and is always there for me, whether it's her bringing her exam with her during my 21st birthday celebration or working "from home" on her way to Nashville just to celebrate with me! Even though we live a few hours apart now, we can always pick up right where we left off. Life is so much better with Caroline in it, and I can’t imagine not having her by my side on the day I say "I do"!
Hailey Smith
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I grew up together at our Grandma Cathy's house, and literally did everything together! We experienced countless adventures together – from days in the bean pool to playing in the sandbox, from playful moments with Grandma's bunnies and ducks (Sheldon and Marie Cupcake) to climbing the tree in her front yard. Grandmas house was always such an adventure for us girls. Aside from that, seeing Hailey grow into the remarkable Christian woman she is today fills me with immense joy. Hailey and I have grown even closer when she moved to college, and actually lives 5 minutes away from me now! I am so beyond proud of her and thankful that she has become such a big part of our lives. I eagerly look forward to sharing this special moment with her by our side on our big day. - Alyssa
Will Hanes
Groomsman
Will and I have been close friends ever since he joined our middle school travel basketball team and have been super close friends ever since then. Some of my favorite memories are when I would come over during the summer and hang out after our summer conditioning for football. Will is a friend that I can always rely on and will always consider to be a great friend for the rest of my life. - Peyton
Katie Wolfe
Bridesmaid
Katie is literally the sweetest and cutest person I have ever met <3 We first met at a party hosted by Peyton, where we hit it off and immediately started to take countless selfies. Our second time meeting, we decided that it would be a GREAT idea to drive 10 hours to Florida together with Peyton, Paul, and Devin! Besides one of us passing out solo miles away from our hotel, wrestling 2 strangers, and cutting off half a thumb, it was a GREAT vacation!!! (lol) Our friendship grew even more when we began working together at Smokeworks and Social Cantina together, where we hardly had shifts together, but we made it work! Katie is such a sweetheart and supportive and loyal friend. I look forward to having such a wonderful woman standing beside us on our special day. - Alyssa
Peyton Wall
Groomsman
Peyton has been a brother to me for a very long time, we’ve had our ups and downs however we always find our way back to our friendship. Peyton has helped me a lot in my development as a person and a friend to others. The thing I appreciate the most about Peyton is he consistently pushes me to be better in all aspects of my life. He’s never been afraid to tell me what he thinks about me or what I have going on and that’s something I respect beyond words and will always appreciate about him and our friendship. - Peyton

Brandy Fennig
Mother of the Bride
My mother is incredibly supportive and showers immense love upon me and Peyton. When she's not bossing Alyssa around ;), she's busy being a pro at cooking, helping me solve another crisis in my life ;), and turning our home into a masterpiece with her decorating skills. Together, we're quite the dynamic duo! We bond over baking extravaganzas, belt out tunes in the car like rockstars, and share a good laugh, especially when it's about Dad! Some of MY favorite things to do with my mom are call her 18+ times a day, beg her to get her nails done with me, and annoy her with all of my anxious questions! My mom is my superhero and I cannot thank her enough for the endless amount of love and sacrifice that she has given for this family. Thank you mom for everything. You truly are the best mom and mother in law that we could have prayed for. P.S. I am probably calling you, so check your phone! - Alyssa
Anthony Fennig
Father of the Bride
My father has been my rock through thick and thin. As my softball coach for over a decade, he's been there for every game, and he never missed a single volleyball match, no matter how far away. And let's not forget his subtle nudges to check on my grades (wink) – always looking out for me! His knack for building things, his mastery of cooking steak, and his enjoyment of a cold one are just a few things that my father really loves. He's always up for a good time and embraces life to the fullest. Some of my fondest memories with my dad involve cruising the lake at night, with Macklemore playing in the background. I know that my dad is my biggest supporter and that he loves that Peyton and I are together. It's heartwarming to see him bond with the son her never had until now. FINALLY, another boy! I can't wait to witness their rivalry over Colts vs. Bears and IU vs. Purdue for the rest of our lives... Go Hoosiers! ;) I love you dad, thanks for everything. - Alyssa
