Kelsi and Alayna got close being moms and would babysit each other’s kids. Hunter and Kelsi worked similar shifts at Dutch Bros. She was a huge part of finding out about Atticus and even took them out to celebrate the night they found out. She has been there for both of them as such a genuine friend and cares unconditionally about their family as do they with her. The first decision they made was to make her the officiant because she was instrumental in the relationship starting and has been such a rock through the years for both of them. No person is more perfect than her to marry them.

Maddie Jones

Best Woman

Maddie is Alayna’s sister. Besides looking very similar they have the same taste in music and a lot of pop culture. They didn’t officially meet until Alayna was 21 but it was like a movie where they just instantly clicked and it seemed like despite living on separate sides of the United States they grew up to be very similar in their mindsets. Both didn’t have a sister growing up close in age so it was such a cool thing to find as adults. Alayna is so honored to have her stand up next to her for this day.

Ashley Jones

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Alayna met at a mutual friend’s Halloween party in College. They had ran in similar circles and Alayna introduced herself to Ashley with the prospect of becoming friends. Soon after they attended parties together and eventually moved in together. They have been so close ever since. They both love coffee, martinis, but more so spending time we each other talking each others ear off. Now they visit each other in their respective states and always try to make sure they attend every significant milestone.

Taylor Figueroa

Bridesmaid

Taylor and Alayna met overseas in Italy during High School. The first year they met they spent every second together.

They try to never miss the big moments in each other’s lives even after 15 years of friendship.

Stephania Miller

At this point they have known each other for over 16 years and continue to stay in each other’s lives.

Brooke Springer

Bridesmaid

Brooke and Alayna met working at Dutch Bros in 2020. They had mutual friends and Brooke would spend a lot of time coming over to the house until they became super close friends. They would make time outside of work for each other and never let the work dynamics or ever changing friendships in the stand affect them. They have always loved each other and had so many interests in common. Both have always been so supportive and unwavering in their friendship no matter the distance. When Alayna moved to Tennessee Brooke made sure to visit and Alayna was in Brooke’s wedding earlier this year.

Stephanie Bradley

Bridesmaid

Stephanie(her Buu, a nickname they created) and Alayna met in High School in Naples, Italy. They quickly became inseparable and created a friend group that got them through their junior year of High School together. Alayna didn’t get to finish High School in Italy so they were separated when Alayna moved to California. After High School Stephanie went to college in Los Angeles while Alayna was down in San Diego. Since they were close in Italy they knew each other’s families extremely well and were able to spend Thanksgiving that year together.
