Connor & Christopher
Wedding Party
Alex Hagen
Best Man
1. Tell us a little about yourself: I am Alex, the guy that looks like Chris and who will be proudly standing next to him on the big day! My wife of 6 years Tess will be in attendance and our kids Dexter (4) and Riley (1) will be visiting with their grandparents. Open bar anyone!? 2. How do you know the couple? I’ve known Chris pretty much my whole life. I can’t even remember the time I didn’t know him. 3. What are you most excited for during all the wedding festivities? My favorite part of weddings as a member of the wedding party is those little moments you have. Getting ready before hand, regrouping with everyone after the ceremony before taking pictures. It’s such an intimate happy group before the real partying begins. 4. What’s your go-to dance floor song? The classic karaoke songs that everyone will know. Preferably at the end of the night after some drinks have been had. Don’t Stop Believing is the obvious go to. 5. What drink should people bring you if they see your hands empty during the party? Old fashioned if we're getting fancy, but my go-to is usually rum and Diet Coke or a hard seltzer.

Erika Vizcarrondo

1. Tell us a little about yourself: Hi Barbie! I’m Erika - powered by a quad espresso every morning and very heavy gym sessions. I’m a professional hype woman, loyal friend, and queen of “doing the most”. I help people build big, bold things and believe there’s no such thing as too much ambition (or too much glitter). I love ridiculously long walks, keeping it going until the afters, and a flight to anywhere with my besties. If we haven’t met yet, I’ll be waiting for you on the dance floor! 2. How do you know the couple? I met Connor in 7th grade and from the very beginning, I knew he was going to be my best friend forever. We bonded over music being in band together. I met Chris in 2021 and since then, I knew he would be in my life forever too. Connor and Chris are my family and watching their love story has been a front-row seat to something real, hilarious, and beautiful. 3. What are you most excited for during all the wedding festivities? Honestly? The partyyyy. But more importantly getting together to celebrate this LOVE! 4. What’s your go-to dance floor song? Beyoncé Run the world GIRLS! 5. What drink should people bring you if they see your hands empty during the party? Espresso martini — heavy on the espresso. But I’ll never say no to a tequila on the rocks either!
