Alyssa & Tracy
Wedding Party
Claire Kolarik
Matron of Honor
Alyssa’s little sister and lifelong sidekick, affectionately known as “George.” She is the most loving and supportive sister, and recently became an incredible Mom to Alyssa’s nephew Jordan.
Bret Manzel
Maid of Honor
The Peacemaker: Tracy's firstborn, Bretski as she is affectionately known, has been one who strives for peace and harmony in the family and in the world. Tracy is the most proud when Bretski is working towards peace and justice for others while standing up to the patriarchy. Est. 2001.
Kristin Collins
Maid of Honor
Alyssa met Kristin at San Diego State freshman year, who took her to Yogurt Express within hours of meeting. Kristin would go on to be best friend, roommate, fellow Disneyland enthusiast, co-adventurer, and alternate British tourist personality “Gretchen” of Belinda & Gretchen.
Lillith Manzel
Maid of Honor
The Fighter: Since she was in utero, Lillith has been a fighter. She gives Tracy the most joy (and probably the most worry lines) when she rages against the machine. Lillith tells the best jokes and provides endless entertainment for Tracy and the rest of the household. Est. 2006.
Jenn Louie
Bridesmaid
Jenn was introduced to Alyssa by Kristin at an Intervarsity conference at San Diego State. At the time Jenn was under the influence of cough medicine and had a terribly raspy voice, leaving Alyssa unsure about her. But she soon learned that Jenn would be one of her closest, most loyal friends through college and beyond.
Danielle Moser
Bridesmaid
The Advisor: The woman with a plan for anything and everything. Whether Tracy has needed lesson plans, relationship advice, help planning a trip or a place to stay (even the front lawn on occasion), Danielle has had Tracy's back since 2011.
Alex Hird
Bridesman
Alyssa’s little brother affectionately known as “Tina.” He is one of Alyssa’s favorite people to be silly with and sample Belgian beers with.
Jessica Cram
Bridesmaid
The Optimist: No matter the situation, Jess approaches it with joy and a smile. With a knack for always looking on the bright side, Jess has made Tracy see things from a more positive perspective (even when she doesn't want to). Jess has been providing encouragement and 5 am wakeup calls for Tracy since 2013.
Kent Anderson
Officiant
Kent has been a great friend and supporter of Alyssa & Tracy's over the past few years. He and his wife, Calla, led a lifegroup through their church that Alyssa was a part of where she got to know how deep Kent's heart is for Jesus, people, and justice. Alyssa & Tracy are thrilled and honored that he will be performing his first ceremony for them! PC: @KellyLemonPhotography
