Ashlynn & Alec
Wedding Party
Analynn Whaley
Maid of Honor
Ana is my twin sister and yes, we are identical ;) Hopefully the wedding dress will solve any issue of trying to tell the two of us apart on the big day! Ana brings a whole new meaning to "Best Friend". She has been by my side through it all so it's only fitting that she is by my side once again, on the biggest day of my life. Ana loves animals, photography, and nature. I have her to thank for my beautiful engagement photos, and all of the pictures that you see on this website!
Aldon Light
Best Man
There is no other person in the world that can make me angrier and yet feel so blessed. Aldon and I have truly had our ups and downs and it is amazing to think back over the years and realize that we have grown so much closer through it all. We used to hate each other and now we’re best friends. I love him so much and I am so excited to see where our lives go together. Aldon is extremely talented in so many things. He is an avid fan of scooters and spends countless hours at the skate park. He is an impressive gymnast and is constantly pursuing a “shredded physique.” Although he may be able to beat me in an arm wrestle, I’ll take him down in any traditional sport! I love you bro!
Elizabeth Wolski
Bridesmaid
I thought I already had a twin until I met Elizabeth. We are just way too similar to not be the best of friends. We were even born in the same hospital, several months apart. She loves being crafty and creative. Elizabeth has a strong heart for helping and nurturing others. She is a lover of animals, and even wants her own dairy cow one day. She has been a huge support and such a kind friend to me. She is such a blessing to me and I'm so excited for her to be my bridesmaid!
Joshua Folkert
Groomsman
One thing is for sure… if you had told me when I was 10 years old that Joshua Folkert would be my best friend many years later, I would have asked, why? Why would I want to hang out with a kid that is two times my size and goes by the nickname, Hammy? Well, it turns out Hammy was a pretty amazing kid and now he’s an even more impressive man. I cherish his friendship so much and am so happy for him and his new wife Amanda. Josh is a man’s man who loves guns, boats and food. He is one of the most hilarious people I know and I am so proud of the man he is today. I am so honored to have him with me on the biggest day of my life.
Skyler Davis
Bridesmaid
Skyler has been by my side for many, many years. We grew up in the church youth group together and really became close through the many summers spent at church camp. She is the comic relief of any situation. There is never a dull moment with her. She has a heart for the Lord and will always lend a helpful hand. She has been so eager to help wherever possible with my big day. I can't wait to enjoy all of it with her and her laughter.
Benjamin Wiegand
Groomsman
It is without hesitation when I say that Ben is the nicest guy I know. He truly has the sweetest heart and I love him like a brother. I always know that Ben will have a smile on his face no matter the circumstances. In addition, he is one of the smartest guys I know and his math skills are legendary which is probably why he’s becoming an engineer. Ben is always up for a game of volleyball, football, golf or Frisbee. He’s extremely athletic and always gives me a run for my money. I’ve grown up with Ben and he has become one of my closest friends. God is going to use him in an amazing way and I only hope that I get to witness it. I am so excited to see where our friendship takes us!
Laol Short
Bridesmaid
Laol is my oldest friend of 9 years now. She loves fashion, sports, and good music. Her and I always took the most pride in having freshly manicured nails, even when we were in middle school (; Even with moving back and fourth between Vermont and Florida, we always managed to stay in-touch. When we would see each other again, it was always like we had never even left each other. She's been by my side through my growth and has seen it all; everything from my 6th grade semi-formal dance, all the way to my wedding reception. This girl holds a special place in my heart that I can't forget.
Alexander Wiegand
Groomsman
Alex has always been a wonderful part of my life. He’s such an amazing friend and even though he’s a Seminole, we still tolerate each other on game day! Growing up at the same church and going on family camping trips gave Alex and me an amazing platform to grow our friendship. We’re both very competitive and it always works well when we team up in KanJam! Alex is very cerebral and his trivia skills are extremely impressive. He never ceases to make me laugh especially when he tries to hit a golf ball with hockey form. I may be able to beat him on the course, but he’ll whoop anyone in the rink. God has used Alex in amazing ways and I’m convinced that he will run for president at some point in his life!
Leah Amazon
Bridesmaid
Leah has been by my side through so many adventures. She's a wonderful friend to both my sister and I, and I couldn't be more grateful for her constant willingness to help, even if it's just emotional support. She's easy to talk to and so fun to be around. Leah and I naturally enjoy each other so much because of our mutual love for cats and sweet animals. She is also, just like 4 of my other bridesmaids, a very talented photographer.
Andrew Wortham
Groomsman
There are some friends in life that just make you laugh… a lot. And then there are friends that make you contemplate your maturity level. Andrew does both! In all honesty though, Andrew is one of the greatest guys I know. He is so much fun to be around and his godly character is one for the books. Andrew is in med school and that is a tribute to how brilliant he really is. Andrew and I have a lot of fun memories from back in high school and I often reflect on those years with fondness. I know I can always count on a good time if Andrew is around. He introduced me to barbecue bird dogs and for that I am eternally grateful! I’ll have to return to South Carolina soon to taste that southern masterpiece one more time.
Aislynn Light
Bridesmaid
Aislynn will be my new sister in October! Aislynn is a full-time preschool teacher, coffee enthusiast, lover of Broadway, and pretty much anything Harry Potter. She is very organized and a wonderful leader. I have no doubt that everything leading up to my wedding and my wedding day will go smoothly as long as I have her around! She's been a huge help to me this past year and I am so blessed to call her family. She is a pleasure to know and to have, and I can't wait for the coming years I'll get to spend alongside her and her family.
Nathan Ault
Groomsman
Sometimes when you start dating a girl, you make friends by default. Nathan is the boyfriend of my fiancé’s sister. But more importantly, he’s an amazing friend. If I had to compare Nathan to someone, I would say he’s the closest thing to a real life Jim from The Office. His sense of humor and facial expressions are just a couple of his winning characteristics! I know Nathan pretty well even though we’ve only been friends for a couple years. He and I drove to Vermont and back and there is no better way to get to know someone than to spend 50 hours in a car together. Everybody has seen Nathan’s sweet and godly side… but I’ve seen a hilarious side of him that no one else has! But in all seriousness, I truly cherish our friendship and cannot wait for the amazing years to come.
Ashley Light
Bridesmaid
Ashley will be my other sister in October! Ashley is a free spirit who loves adventure and the simpler things in life. She's always along for the ride. Especially if it's to Chick-Fil-A. She's a fan of Vines (funny video clips) and good humor. She also enjoys Disney and Broadway, much like her sister. She loves kids and is very nurturing. She has been a blessing in so many ways to me and I absolutely love her companionship. Not only will her and Aislynn be my sisters, but also two more best friends for life. I know that she will dissolve any stress I might have on my wedding day, with her ability to always brighten up a situation. I can't help but smile when Ashley smiles (:
Ryan Biolsi
Groomsman
If only there were enough words to describe Ryan… To sum it all up, he’s a brother cut from the same cloth. Ryan is one of those people that you can’t help but laugh 90% of the time you’re with him. He is absolutely hilarious and I love him like a brother. Even though he looks like an Italian gangster, he is on fire for God and a powerful encouragement to me. I love hanging out with him and playing golf. It doesn’t matter how much time we spend apart because the moment we see each other it’s like we were never separated. Ryan is so talented and his videography skills are impressive. I love that he’s using his abilities for ministry and that God is at the center of his pursuits. His friendship means so much to me and I cannot wait to see what our future holds.
