Alex & Josh
Wedding Party
Alex
Bride
Hi I am Bride! If you don't know me, I'll introduce myself the same way that I introduced myself to Josh-- with the short bio on the dating app he swiped right on: I like long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and a crisp Miller High Life. Fun Fact: -I have a Master's Degree in Science!
Hannah Foy
Maid of Honor
Hannah is the absolute closest thing I have to a sister, and thus it is only fitting that she is be my maid of honor. While we're *technically* cousins, growing up practically next door to each other and being in our tight-knit family-- its hard to view each other as anything but siblings. Fun fact: -Hannah can sing every word to Sir Mix-a-lot's 1992 hit "Baby Got Back"
Ashling Chupak
Matron of Honor
Destined to be friends, Ashling and I's moms were college roommates! We've always joked that we've been friends "before the womb". Ash and I have been right next to each other through all the ups and downs, all the awkward phases, and all the biggest moments in life. I wouldn't want to be walking down the aisle with anyone else (except for Josh). Fun Fact: Ashling dressed up on Halloween as Buzz Lightyear for, like, 8 years straight
Dr. Linsey Passarella
Bridesmaid
Linsey and I met two weeks before the world shut down for COVID. Once it did, we saw each other 5-7 days a week from approximately 2 years straight. This relationship is the closest I've experienced to love-at-first-sight, and I wouldn't have it any other way :) Fun Fact: -Lins has government clearance in [redacted] and has acted as a subject matter expert in [redacted] when writing a brief for the White House.
Robin Urquhart
Bridesmaid
Robin and I met in a serendipitous occasion when she crashed a party at my house! She had *just* moved to Knoxville, and met someone who invited her along to a party at my home (funnily enough- it was the night that I introduced Josh to all my friends. So, she's been there from the very beginning of all the magic) Fun Fact: - Josh and I lived in her basement for 3 months
Brittany Sidwell
Bridesmaid
Britt has been a source of stability and encouragement in my life when it felt like everything else was going to hell in a handbasket. A true "ride-or-die" friend, she is one to listen, support, and love you where you're at. I can't think of a sweeter friend to stand next to me in support on such a special day! Fun fact: One time I talked Brittany into hiring me and then, a couple of months later, I talked her into firing me!
Luke Foy
Bridesmaid
Luke has always been there for me as an older brother should be. He showed me all the newest music (Papa Roach circa 5th grade), taught me how to play videogames (aka no mercy in MarioKart), and taught me about the internet (long live the "computer room") Fun Fact: -I started dating Josh so Luke would have a sporty friend at family events! You're welcome, Luke.
Josh
Groom
I'm Josh! I met Alex 3 years ago and I've been crazy for her ever since! We are so happy to have you celebrate with us! Fun Fact: I never learned how to read! I've just been guessing for 30 years.
Nate Birsch
Groomsman
I met Nate my freshman year at UT, an R.A. in the same building. His high energy and big heart will always keep a room bright. I'll always be grateful for our Fort Sanders escapades and the late-night talks when the drinking got a little too much hehe. Fun Fact: The best R.A. to ever exist, ever.
Nic Cagle
Groomsman
Nic is one of the most talented musicians I've ever been able to jam with. He's an amazing songwriter with great guitar skills and that voice!! He's an will always bring a laugh to a room and is a thoughtful and kind friend. Fun Fact: Nic is an incredible songwriter and guitar player.
Landon Adzima
Groomsman
I lived with Landon and his brother, Avery for about 2 years over the pandemic. He's legit the most handy person I've ever met...maybe except that piano we worked on for a little bit. Landon is incredibly calm and intentional, a wonderful roommate and an even better Catan player. Fun Fact: I'm pretty sure that disassembled piano is still in his parent's garage.
Jay Jordan
Groomsman
Jay was the first person I met when I moved to Knoxville and he quickly became one of my best friends. Jay is so outgoing, talented, and intelligent. I feel like we grew up together in our 20s and never have an issue reconnecting after time apart. Fun Fact: Gandalf is his favorite character from Harry Potter!
Santiago Ortiz-Piazuelo
Groomsman
I lived with Santi in college and he has become one of the most important people in my life. He loves big, he's kind and thoughtful, and he makes some of the coolest art EVER! I consider Santi a lifelong friend and I'm so grateful for our friendship. Fun Fact: Santi's continuous line pieces are my absolute favorite of his.
Keegan Morris
Groomsman
Keegan trained me my first day at Cherokee, teaching me how to kick ice under the table before the party got back. Over the years, Keegz has become such a reliable friend. He is always willing to talk, reaches out if you need a hand, and has grown so much. Fun Fact: His football team can't beat mine when it matters :)
Ephraim Alajaji
Officiant
Ephraim and his wife Robin are two of our closest friends. Ephraim is incredibly kind, hospitable, and outgoing. Alex and I lived in his basement for a few months lol. Fun Fact: HORNS DOWN
