Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us!

Allison Frankfother

Bride

I am so excited to see everyone in July! To me, a wedding is special not only because it is a formal commitment of love and companionship, but also because it brings together all the people who have been there for each person in the couple throughout their lives. Looking through our guest list, I am so moved to have had so many friends and family members who have loved me and shaped me into the person I am today. I am even more grateful for the many people who have shaped my soon-to-be husband into the patient, kind, generous, fun-loving man he is today. Taylor and I are incredibly blessed to have such a great support system of friends and family as we begin our married life together.

Taylor Noles

Groom

Dear cherished invitee, Joy, family, friendship, unity. These words begin to describe the love I have for Allison as we begin our next chapter together. I hope as we gather with friends and family to celebrate our marriage, we can share in those feelings and be reminded why we love you too! Thank you so much for being a part of my life and joining us for this special occasion. I'm excited to see you!

I wish to share with you my motto in life: “Love, Peace & Happiness; Fight ‘Til the End!” What this means to me is that you wander around this world until you find a purpose. For me, it is to find that special someone to share your journey, experiences, and innermost thoughts with. This is the essence of life. It is what makes life worth living. You take that with you down the winding road of life: you cherish it and don’t take it for granted. When I first met Allison, I could see how seamlessly she and Taylor interacted and how natural they were as a couple. They have found something special in one another. It is my hope that they continue their journey together and find their own peace and happiness through their love. And I wish them the happiest ever after!

Tony Rodriguez

Retired from the U.S. Air Force after 21 years of service. I have had the pleasure of helping raise Taylor from about four years old through his college years at Washington University in St. Louis Missouri.

Melissa Hammond

Bridesmaid

Allison and I met when we were writers at Epic, before either of us knew we were cat people or knew we'd one day move into fun, fulfilling jobs working with kids—Allison as a teacher, me as a writer and editor at American Girl. She tells me a lot of stories about her classroom, such as when one of her students called Taylor a dead tree, an insult I think about nearly every day. Spending time with Allison is the absolute best. Pre-pandemic, we loved story slams, concerts, hiking, crafting to a cheesy movie, running, trampoline parks, eating vegan sushi and ice cream, dancing, and relaxing around a campfire. We've done our best to squeeze fun times into Zoom sessions and outdoor meetups, and luckily, Allison's sharp wit and sunny energy can travel across the six-foot distance between us.

Haley Ocwieja

Bridesmaid

Haley and Allison met on their first day working at an unnamed large medical software company as writers. They bonded like glitter glue over loud hair colors and being the loudest ones in the meetings they attended together!

Kristen Ramirez

Bridesmaid

Allison and I have have been in each other’s worlds for just about a decade, but our friendship bloomed in intimacy shortly after we graduated from college and both laid down roots in Madison and Milwaukee. Our friendship is marked by shared college stories, overlapping life stories, similar values, an appreciation of witty sarcastic humor, and most importantly - striving to create a space where both of us feel loved and accepted just as we are. Our lives continue to grow up together adding new jobs, pets, adventures, homes, and partners!
