Wedding Party
Courtney Pickett
Bride
After graduating, high school I moved back home to Wisconsin to attend school at The University of Wisconsin Whitewater. I enjoy different genres of music, writing, reading, and spending time with our girls. I also enjoy being the best mother I can be. When I met Alan, I knew my life would be changed forever. He was a dream come true! I believe we both found love in a hopeless place. On Sunday August 20th, 2017 we say "I Do". I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with the man God made just for me!
Alan Livingston
Groom
Alan is a 3 time graduate of the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. He is an educator in the local public school district and active member of a variety of fraternal orders. In his spare time he enjoys laughs with the family and make the 2 princesses in the house smile. Alan looks forward to be a good husband and example of manhood.
Victoria Jackson
Maid of Honor
Victoria and I met Wells Fargo Home Mortgage Department in 2009; we shared the same training class together. We bonded instantly the moment we shared an inappropriate joke together! We laughed so loud it almost got us in trouble. Everyday, for the remainder of the training class Victoria and I sat by one another. We exchanged phone numbers and kept in contact outside of work. We took turns visiting one another at our apartments; since we lived across the alley. We always had fun together, I knew Victoria and I would be friends when we realized our personalities were similar. Today, we still laugh, talk, cry, and joke ABOUT EVERYTHING; Victoria is my best friend and I wouldn't change it for the world!! She will definitely make sure my wedding day is nothing less than perfect!
Jamaal Smith
Best Man
Jamaal Smith is Alan's older brother. These two have been "ride or die" since they the day they met and haven't looked back since. Since the days of playing Nintendo on the front porch, these two have shared many experiences including Alan being the Best Man in Jamaal's wedding. It is only fitting that the honor be reciprocated and the fun continue.
Jawea Cole
Bridesmaid
I have known Jawea my entire life, her grandma is my great Aunt whom I called my Bigma. She's my older cousin and we grew up together. As a child Jawea was so mean to me, I think she was a bit jealous of how spoiled I was a child, LOL. As an adult she still taunts me and makes it her business to tell everyone I'm the third cousin; therefore I don't count, Lol! Honestly, Jawea and I are very close, she's my big cousin, my partner in crime, and she's like a sister to me. Jawea is always there for me whenever I need her, and I love her dearly for that. When choosing a bridesmaid, it is important to not only pick someone you love; but to pick someone who will also beat up anyone who makes you mad on your wedding day. ;) I am honored she she accepted the duty as my bridesmaid!!!!!!
George Farrell
Groomsman
George "BJ" Farrell, IV is Alan's fraternity brother and better half of K. S. Klear Channel... Spring 2005 line of the Milwaukee (WI) Alumni chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc. These two have been like blood brothers since they day they met in 2001 at UW-Whitewater. Alan is grateful to have such a great friend and brother to share in this life changing experience.

She's our baby girl, and she likes to be called "Baby Cakes". Alanna tells everyone how excited she is to be a flower girl! Alanna is just 3 years old; she will be 4 by the time we wed. She practices everyday for mommy and daddy's big day! Alanna also reminds me of how important her duty is as our flower girl. :)
Aurea Harries
Flower Girl
Aurea is our oldest girl who is just 9 years old. Aurea feels that she is too old to be a flower girl; but she piped in and told me she will help her sister Alanna get down the aisle so she isn't afraid! That's exactly what big sister's do, they look out for each-other. Aurea is also happy about our big day. I am excited that our big girl will be happily taking on the job as the "Big sister flower girl". Of course, she asked me to change her title Lol.
