Wedding Party
Michael James Byerly
Best Man
Yes, this really is EJ's brother. If you don't believe us, you're not alone. While their differences in appearances are only outmatched by their differences in personalities, these two have been best friends since the very beginning. It takes about two seconds for MJ to make EJ laugh when they get together...
Danny Keith
Groomsman
EJ and his cousin Danny first bonded as kids over their mutual love of sports (especially football). This bond became stronger when they were forced to live with each other and two other guys in a single room for an entire year. Even though Danny is a Raiders fan, EJ still considers him a close confidant and loves him dearly.
Vince Pinasco
Groomsman
An honorary member of the Byerly family, Vince has become one of EJ's best friends over the years. The list of bonding experiences between the two includes (but is not limited to) church internships, custodial duties, and roasting MJ & Danny.
Seth Johnston
Groomsman
Seth was an instant best friend for EJ when first moving to Texas. The two can quickly transition between theological conversations, topics of the heart, and getting a headache from how much they laugh at one another's jokes.
Andrew Fortney
Groomsman
Andrew and EJ have done everything together. Everything. Work, school, church... What about living together? Yes, this too. Yet, these experiences continue to bring them closer together and into a deeper friendship.
Justin Braun
Groomsman
While friends even before rooming together, Justin and EJ developed a close bond while roommates at DTS. Their living arrangement fostered a deep friendship and allowed EJ to witness the evolution of Justin's famous Mac N' Cheese dish.
Michael Cantrell
Groomsman
There's nothing like being able to work alongside a close friend. What started off as acquaintances in the workplace has organically grown into a deep friendship with too many inside jokes to keep track of. From account audits to impersonations, the list of shared experiences continues to grow.
Stephanie Goodman
Maid of Honor
Although Stephanie is Alexis’ older cousin (by 9 months), they are practically sisters. Alexis and Stephanie have been attached at the hip since birth and will always be two peas in a pod. The two are constantly laughing when they are together and share countless memories. Alexis couldn't imagine anyone else standing beside her on the wedding day.
Kameryn Baker
Bridesmaid
It all started when Alexis and Kameryn met as toddlers in a kiddie pool. The pair didn't know it then but they would turn into lifelong friends. These two go from having spontaneous adventures to watching late-night films that Alexis can never seem to stay awake for. Kameryn and Alexis will always be a part of each other's lives and are forever grateful to have met all those years ago in the kiddie pool.
Alex Beard
Bridesmaid
Alex was one of the first people Alexis met while studying abroad in Germany. Navigating a foreign country, learning a new language, and enjoying countless amounts of gelato are just a few of the experiences that brought the pair together. Lots of invaluable memories were made between these two and Alexis is forever grateful to have Alex in her life.
Jennifer Estrada
Bridesmaid
Jennifer and Alexis first met in their junior year of college. They quickly bonded when they found themselves in an intense accounting course together. A lasting friendship was created from the long nights of studying and preparation. Jennifer’s love for others is so evident and a constant blessing in Alexis’ life.
Morgan Jenschke
Bridesmaid
Alexis and Morgan met in Germany while studying abroad. For these two, it truly is all about the journey and not the destination. Traveling together has become a favorite pastime for the pair. Lots of laughs and priceless memories are shared over failed navigation, spontaneous decisions, and unexpected forks in the road.
Nicole Kirby
Bridesmaid
One of the sweetest outcomes of joining Sigma Theta Chi was meeting Nicole. Nicole and Alexis became fast friends through Rush Week and solidified their bond throughout their time at ACU. Despite the mileage between them, Nicole and Alexis will always come together to create new experiences and lasting memories.
Samantha Martin
Bridesmaid
Although they knew each other long before they first became friends, this pair bonded on the volleyball court. Running endless miles and getting countless bruises is ultimately what made these two build a deep bond. Sammi is always making Alexis laugh and will always be a forever friend.
