Wedding Party

Alexandra Nowak

Maid of Honor

Alex, also known as sister Alex, bis sis, or oopsie Alex, has always set the example for her little sis. She is the world’s best big sister and my lifelong role model. She’s got the perfect blend of big-sis wisdom, a sense of adventure, and a talent for turning any moment into pure fun. Whether she's fluffing my dress, fixing my hair, or keeping the party going at the bar, she'll be right by my side, adding laughter and love to every second of the day. I couldn’t imagine this day without her!

Lindsey Grochowski

Bridesmaid of Honor

Lindsey and I became friends fast and then decided to be inseparable every since! She even played a part in Alex and I getting together in high school! She has been my shoulder to cry on, my partner-in-crime for endless laughs, and my ultimate wedding-planning teammate. On the big day, you’ll find Lindsey perfecting every decoration and making sure we own the dance floor. She’s my bestie through thick and thin and I couldn't have made it through this adventure without her by my side!

Sara Nowak

Bubble Girl

Pure joy in human form! Sara is the happiest, smiliest, most loving cousin you could imagine, and her hugs are genuinely the best in the world. She’ll be adding sparkle in every way on the big day—not only through her glittery outfit but also as our official bubble girl! She’ll be filling the air with bubbles and laughter, making sure there’s magic in every moment. With Sara around, you can expect pure joy and plenty of sparkle!

Grace Roberts

Bridesmaid

My "twin" cousin! Grace and I are less than a year apart, so naturally, we did everything together and were mistaken for actual twins more times than we can count. From turning every place into our personal gymnastics mat to that one unforgettable pee incident (my bad!) she’s always been one of my closest friends. Grace is the party queen who will make sure the bar is in good use and own the dance floor with unforgettable moves. She brings the energy, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

Hannah Farkas

Bridesmaid

The ultimate party-starter and soon-to-be sister in law! From day one, Hannah has been the definition of love and support, putting endless time and heart into making our whole engagement and wedding day unforgettable. You’ll find her ensuring every flower is picture-perfect and hitting the dance floor with me! I truly couldn’t ask for a better sister-in-law!

Erin Mahoney

Bridesmaid

Erin is my ultimate ride-or-die roomie who bravely signed up to live with the 'weird girl' at RPI—and then stuck with me for four unforgettable years! From late-night study sessions (9pm for us lol) to early morning breakfast dates, Erin’s been there through it all. I am beyond lucky to have her by my side for yet another amazing chapter!

Christie Ackendorf

Bridesmaid

Where do I even start with Christie? My first friend and kindergarten partner-in-crime, who famously thought my name was ‘Patch’ when we met! The sweetest soul and the funniest person you’ll ever meet, Christie has been a forever friend in every way. On our big day, she’ll be the one making sure I’m well-fed, feeling calm, and fully enjoying every moment! My day wouldn’t be complete without her standing by my side!

Taylor Gould

Bridesmaid

Taylor is one of my Sweet Home besties and the ultimate fun-maker! From slip-n-sliding into my pool to laughing so hard we’ve nearly cried, we’ve had countless unforgettable moments together. Taylor is the life of the party and, on the big day, you’ll find her capturing every hilarious, heartwarming second until her phone runs out of space and leading the charge on the dance floor with all the girls!

Kristina Jones

Bridesmaid

It feels like I’ve known Kristina forever! We met in year one of our PhDs at RPI, joining the same lab group and quickly realizing that every task is better as a two-person job. From tackling research projects to celebrating the smallest wins, we've always made sure to support each other through the ups and downs of grad school. On the big day, she'll be taking on another important role—looking after our sweet Stella girl (who loves her Auntie Kristy!) I can’t wait to hopefully see her dance moves later in the night!

Kristen Hewes

Bridesmaid

Kristen and I may have only met when we started our PhDs, but we clicked right from day one! She’s endlessly supportive and would do anything for the people she loves. Through the ups and downs of grad school, celebrating our successes and going on sweet treat runs for a mid-day pick me up, I couldn’t have asked for a better friend and cheerleader. On the big day, you’ll catch her making sure my makeup is on point and lighting up the dance floor with her amazing energy!
