Maid of Honor
Anna is the middle sister of the Gengel girls and Shelly’s off peak therapist/best friend. Their relationship is dynamic (Jason is bewildered at how they can go from yelling to making dinner plans in 30 seconds). Shelly is very lucky to have her stand by her side, fluff her dress, and keep her anxiety low on the best day of her life. Shelly would like to proactively apologize for any bridezilla-like tendencies that unfold during this process.
Best Man
Jason is excited to have his dad as his best man. From diapers to debt, "Curious George" has seen it all. He coached him to the little league world series, dropped him off early at the skating rink and never stopped whistling along the way. George has never gotten the call from the slammer, but if he did, he'd answer.
Bridesmaid
Sarah is the oldest of the Gengel girls and has worn many hats in the weddings of her sisters. What other hats will she wear in the Alexander wedding? Find out live August 31st.
Groomsman
Kevin unwelcomed Jason into the Alexander clan in 1986. Standout mentions of their time together include; raising a school of fish, playing sports in the yard and shutting the video game off right before someone was victorious. They reunited under the same roof during Covid and rekindled their brotherly love.
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Jason’s sister and besides being the mom to the best kids around (impartial opinion) she also loves dad jokes, makes an impressive chocolate chip cookie, and has great fashion/decor wits about her. If that’s not a pristine resume for a new sister-in-law, I’m not sure what is.
Groomsman
Marty was the first in-law addition to the Alexander clan and Shelly would like it to be known that there’s a new sheriff in town. Marty is highly regarded for his Chocolate pie around the holidays. If you have a hunkering for deer steak, he is your guy.
Bridesmaid
Sparky is Shelly’s longest friend and confidant. She has seen it all. Shelly misses eating snacks in the target parking lot after school, and baking with Sparky. Gaby is traveling cross country to stand by Shelly on her special day.
Groomsman
Jason is looking forward to inheriting another brother in-law. They will continue to work the rest of their lives to earn hall passes for golf together. “Nothing bonds man like marrying a Gengel” - Aristotle
Bridesmaid
Ana led the horse to water (the engagement ring) and lied to Shelly to keep the best engagement surprise alive. When she’s not helping her friends get engaged, she serves as Shelly’s weekly partner in crime; they love to frequent restaurants and laugh…a lot. Fun fact; she also knew Jason in high school.
Bridesmaid
Anika and Shelly have lived through actual different lifetimes in the span of their friendship and couldn’t be happier to now be entering the married years together. Don’t be surprised if you see them break out into coordinated dance.
Bridesmaid
Kassi and Shelly have been through many of life’s ups and downs together and rose from the ashes, relatively unscathed. Kassi has an infinite amount of energy and is always up for anything. Talk to her about cooking or Star Wars and she’ll love you forever.
Bridesmaid
Daniella and Shelly bonded when Daniella gave her Covid™️ in 2020. They became pretty much inseparable during the pandemic; going to the gym, doing at home manicures, and living their best life together. Shelly has a running list of hilarious Daniella quotes that she will share upon request.
Groomsman
Nicky “the Greek” Sophocles met Jason when he was a young pup fresh out of college. With Jason’s unwillingness to say no, he became the perfect puppet in Nick’s real-life circus. Every summer Jason haunts Nick by following him to the cape.
Groomsman
“Long Drive Fisher” has served as a voice of reason in the scary circus mentioned above. Dan has put up with Jason enough to agree to be in this wedding, even though Jason lacks personal boundaries.
Groomsman
The Loh Show is everyone's All-American pitcher. #19 in the playbook but #1 in our hearts. Jason was known as the "wine fairy" during Covid™️ and enjoys being third wheel with him and Molly “Burt Alert” Loh. When he is not scheduling the next NHL matchup, he is beating you on the golf course.
Groomsman
Adam, a world renowned DJ from Australia, acquired Jason as a roommate in Quincy, Mass, by way of his now-wife Emma. Jason showed up with a mattress strapped to his Honda accord and they’ve been friends ever since.
Officiant
Emily has been offering up valuable advice for years, which Shelly has politely ignored but has always respected. Emily is a great friend and has always been the biggest supporter of Shelly’s quest to find love and we couldn’t be more excited for her to serve as our Justice of the Peace at our “final prom.” We are committed to not overshadowing her on her day.
Flower Girl
Gabby is Jason’s five-year-old niece that is more commonly referred to around the house as Shelly’s best friend. We can’t wait for her to be part of our day and for Shelly to be officially promoted to Aunt Shelly. She recently learned to color in the lines, but we hope she colors outside the lines on the big day!
Ring Bearer
Mac is probably the coolest three-year-old this side of the Charles River. He 4 wheels, drills, and most recently accepted the role as Ring Bearer. He is a wizard in the kitchen and only responds to us with "YES CHEF!".
Ring Bearer
Charlie is the latest member of the niece/nephew crew. He probably wont know what’s going on but we will enjoy hedging bets on whether or not he makes it down the aisle.
Best Dog
Obviously Chauncey is in the wedding, we aren’t serial killers. Chauncey, who recently got measured for his tux, is most looking forward to “Mr. Meats” becoming his dad forever.
