Avrielle & Alex
Wedding Party
Avrielle Christianna Corti
Bride
Marrying her best friend by the grace of God.
Alexander James Strahle
Groom
God must love me: Doing the thing, Getting the Married to my best friend.
Jesse Corti
Father of the Bride
I’m happy to be alive to see the day of this wedding. To witness my favorite daughter, Avrielle, marry Alex Strahle. After meeting Alex, I knew that he would be someone who would take Julietta and I in when we get old.
Thomas Strahle
Father of the Groom
Beth and I are very excited to celebrate Alex and Avrielle’s wedding and the joining of two families, the Corti’s and the Strahle’s. We are delighted by the wonderful woman of God that the Lord has brought into Alex’s and thus our lives. We are truly blessed.
Julietta Corti
Mother of the Bride
I am thankful to God for blessing me with my daughter, “Lady Avrielle Corti.” It has been my highest priority to encourage Avrielle in her relationship with God, and to support her in all her many pursuits and in the arts. It fills my heart with joy that Alex deeply loves the Lord and Avrielle. And it is extraordinary and serendipitous that they met at the church Avrielle grew up in, “First Presbyterian Church of Hollywood.” My husband Jesse and I are thankful for God’s graciousness for this marriage that honors Him and Avrielle and Alex.
Beth Strahle
Mother of the Groom
I began praying for Alex long before he drew his first breath. The bigger he got, the more I prayed as we slowly released him from our hands into the Lord’s. One of my repeated requests was that Jesus would, in His good time, bless Alex with a godly wife. Avrielle is proof that God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
Isis Bravo
Matron of Honor
Isis was there the day Avrielle was born. The best older sister Avrielle could have wished for. When she is not rescuing animals, or saving the day; she is a brilliant designer and even greater blessing to her family and friends. The most creative person Avrielle knows. Still inspired by. -written by the Bride
Jackson William Strahle
Best Man
Edited version :) Jack Strahle is Alex’s younger brother. His hope for Alex and Avrielle is that they have a long and happy marriage and offers to babysit future kids so they can go to Hawaii. UNEDITED: Jack Strahle is Alex’s younger, more handsome, brother. He survived the relentless bullying of his older brother and came out stronger for it. Jack is a worse driver than his brother but will make sure Alex gets there safely. His hope for Alex and Avrielle is that they have a long and happy marriage and frequently offer to babysit Jack and Sawyer’s future kids so they can like, go to Vegas and Hawaii and stuff.

Blake Russell
Groomsman
I (Blake Russell), am a lifelong friend of both Alex (who I grew up making music with) and Avrielle (who I grew up going to church with) and I am thrilled to see my two lifelong friends committing to sharing their lives together in marriage. Alex is also responsible for introducing me to my wife Jesica, and now I’ll technically returning the favor, by having brought Alex to a church gig where he met Avrielle. (Alex, consider my debts, cleared?) God bless ya both, abundantly! First/initial Draft: Hi my name is Blake . I’m a recovering alcoholic. I first met Alex at the Goose bar in Lancaster. Swell guy. He can do that whole flip the glass trick with no shirt on. Funny stuff. Best wishes and all that! Please address all checks to “Mr. Russell”.

Bridget Reid Fischer-Linkogle
Bridesmaid
I met Avrielle in the chance event of deciding to enter Slone Vintage: next was a 2012 themed rave - we somehow now have 2 years of amazing memories. Alex (who fatefully lives 5 minutes from me) started joining us for a summer of great food and Doctor Who. We love you both. May you take a breath to enjoy the ride, and to many future dinner parties.
Ansel Butler Iisaka
Groomsman
Avrielle is the most impressively social person I know, we were fast friends after meeting at Slone Vintage. Alex and I clicked immediately, bonding over his excellent music taste and gear. With much love: may the snacks be tasty and the wine affordable.
