Elana & Gage
Wedding Party
Elana Bailey
Bride
Elana is the type of woman you would want to introduce to your family. Beautiful, smart, funny, and always willing to help others out; she is the woman of my dreams. I couldn't ask for better because there is no one better. She's everything to me. And soon, she'll be more as my wife.
Gage Maynard
Groom
Gage is that special someone who enters your life when you least expect it. He is outgoing in more ways than one. He is funny, interesting, handsome, incredibly smart, and just overall amazing. We have our ups and downs, like any other couple. But unlike many, we face our challenges and grow together instead of just as individuals. Gage has helped me be the best version of myself and without him I wouldn't be where I am today. I love him for many reasons, and it would take me a lifetime to explain them all. He is my person, best friend, other half, and love of my life. I can't wait to add "husband" to that list.
Dexurai Cromer
Matron of Honor
Though they've only known each other for 2 years, Elana couldn't see spending her big day without one of her best friends. Dexurai is down to earth and is always there when needed. Without Dexurai, Elana for sure feels she would have gone insane during the wedding planning eventually. Not only are they both around the same height, Dexurai also shares a love of Halloween, Puzzles, Grey's Anatomy, sleepovers and much more with Elana. Elana is so excited to have her stand beside her as she says "I do" to the love of her life. She couldn't imagine anyone better than Dexurai. (her name is pronounced Desiree)
Makenna Fall
Maid of Honor
From the ripe ages of 9 and 10 (4th grade), Elana and Makenna have been close friends. Like all best friends, there have been many ups and downs... But no matter what they've been through they have always found their way back into each other's lives. Elana can't see spending this very special day without having Makenna standing up there beside her. Makenna is a beautiful woman inside and out and Elana is extremely grateful to have an amazing sister like her ("She's not just a friend, she's family" - Elana)
Garrett Maynard
Best Man
Not only is Garrett Gage's cousin, but he is also Gage's first best friend. Since birth they have been pretty close. While moving and work has prevented them from hanging out as much as Gage would like, he has never considered someone a longer lasting friend. Gage can't see having no one better right beside him than Garrett.
Xepera
Flower Girl
Xepera is Dexurai's daughter. She is the sweetest little goofball you could ever be around. She knows how to make you smile and laugh. She absolutely LOVES hide and seek! Any time she sees both Elana and Gage, the first words that come out of her mouth are almost always "Can we play hide and seek?" or "I want to play hide and seek". Be very careful though, once you start the game there is typically no end as there will be many rounds after! Elana and Gage are very excited to have her as their flower girl. They adore her so much and are both grateful to be a part of both her's and her mama's lives.
Maya
Ring Bearer
Maya is both Gage's and Elana's furbaby. From the minute she was brought home she has brought nothing but joy to their small family. The two of them cannot imagine a huge day like this being spent without her there. She has brought them closer together in more ways than one. Despite her back leg having been broken in her past, she does not let it stop her from having the most fun. Gage and Elana are both very excited to have Maya limp walk and run down the isle.
Austin Maynard
Assistant to the Ring Bearer
Austin is both a great outgoing friend and a fantastic little brother to Gage. He loves animals, musicals, DND, video games, and much more. His relationship with Maya is the reason Gage and Elana found him to be the best fit for this important role. Austin is always down to spend time with Maya, even on days when Elana and Gage both have a full day of errands ahead. Both the Groom and the Bride are super grateful to have him in their lives not only as Gage's little brother, but as their closest friend. Gage and Elana both are excited to have him apart of the wedding and can't wait to see him assist Maya down the isle.
