Jadon & Alyssa
Wedding Party
Cherish McKellar
Groomswoman
Cherish is a professional-level harpist, an expert dirt-bike rider, an ingenious hairdresser, an authority on all things literary, and truly a kind and loving human being. And that's just a snippet of her exhaustive résumé. Jadon and Cherish have been friends, well . . . since Cherish was born. There's been no time or distance that has been able to diminish their friendship over the years. For his wedding Jadon asked that Cherish would be his Groomswoman so on the most important day of his life he could stand beside his sister.
Feliciti McKellar
Bridesmaid
Feliciti and Alyssa were instant friends from the moment they met. Feliciti is most often found watering the plants that fill her room, practicing her violin, or putting on as many random articles of clothing she can find and dancing. She brightens any room she's in and her enthusiasm for life rivals Jessica Day, Jadon and Alyssa are so thrilled she's going to be part of their big day!
Timothy Peterson
Groomsman
To tell you about Tim Peterson is to tell you about an extraordinary man, a phenomenal husband, and an outstanding father. Tim is one of the most considerate people alive. He will destroy you in a game of Settlers of Catan and make you feel happy all at the same time. Tim is a role model to Jadon on how to live out one's life in an worthwhile and meaningful manner. Now as Tim becomes Jadon's new brother there's a certainty of many more board games, meaningful chats, and adventures to come.
Elizabeth Armitage
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth is the friend Alyssa will tell anything and everything to because of her depth of wisdom and integrity. She is one of the best people you'll ever meet. Liz loves hiking, working with kids, and above all else, Liz loves the DIY. No one can craft like Liz can craft. No one.
Jordan Riordan
Groomsman
There are few people in existence that can exude the kind of joy that Jordan can with a single smile. He can lighten any room and make anyone comfortable to laugh, joke, and have a great time. Jordan is an inspiration to Jadon as a surfer, organized individual, and all-around extraordinary human being. Jadon and Jordan have been brothers for a while, but now they get to be related too.
Miranda Hamilton
Bridesmaid
Another of Alyssa's extremely talented friends, amazing at all things musical. Miranda and Alyssa met in jr. high and have been fast friends since. They spent many years volunteering together, having countless sleepovers, and looking at stupid memes late at night.
Joshua Lake
Groomsman
This man is one of the most loving and welcoming people on planet earth. You can't say hello or goodbye to Joshua without a hug that would bolster any spirit. Jadon and Josh share a love for music and specifically the guitar (though Jadon wishes he could shred a 10th as well as this man). With the rest of life before them, Jadon is excited for many jam sessions, spontaneous adventures, and good times to share with his new brother.
Savannah Grable
Bridesmaid
Savannah is certainly one of Alyssa's most talented friend. Most people have no idea the angel voice and amazing piano playing skills this lady has, as well as artistic inclinations. Alyssa and Marissa practically lived at Savannah's house for the entirety of their jr. high and high school years spending hours swimming together and watching early 2000s disney channel movies. She truly is the most loyal and selfless friend anyone could ask for.
Judah Lasley
Groomsman
For Jadon, being Judah's older brother has been one of the most fun and extraordinary experiences of his life. There's not a single individual Judah's age with such a strategic mind when it comes to board games. Nor is there anyone who knows how to love a dog like Judah. And beyond that, there's no one that can love others with such a sweet and tender heart as his. Judah is an inspiration. From seeing him on the couch reading a book, to when he gets up and leaves on a bike ride out of the blue, or how he will run up to Jadon and ask to show him the new Lego creation he built. Judah is an extraordinary brother and now groomsman.
Kiara Lasley
Bridesmaid
Kiara was a best friend far before she became a sister to the bride and groom. Alyssa and Kiara share a love of all things sparkly and pink or mermaid related and often spend their time shopping and talking about boys. Not much has changed in the last three years.
Luke Lasley
Groomsman
Luke has been witness to the many shenanigans that occurred in the Lasley home during childhood. While Luke would be laboring away at creating a computer from scratch or teaching himself how to use a RED Epic, his younger twin brothers would be wrestling each other into the ground or (more likely) breaking things. Luke has been an inspiration to Jadon through his self-taught career, his generous spirit, and his loving appreciation for others and the world around him. Now Jadon gets to stand beside his older brother for this incredible day.
Marissa Bankston
Bridesmaid
One of the bride's oldest friends. Sharer of countless inside jokes spanning almost a decade, this raven haired princess is waaaaay hipper than you will ever be. She enjoys spending time with her child cat, and enjoying everything alternative. She is one of Alyssa's greatest loves.
Christina Riordan
Maid of Honor
Older sister of the Bride. Maid of Honor. This beauty is another of Alyssa's three oldest friends. The two of them have often been spotted adventuring, hiking, doing yoga, paddle boarding, you name it. Christina is a strategy game extraordinaire and chaser of adventure. Couldn't live without her.
Rachel Peterson
Maid of Honor
Oldest sister of the bride, Maid of Honor. One of Alyssa's three oldest friends. From teaching Alyssa to be a lady to talking for hours and hours and hours during her son's naps, this lady is VITAL in Alyssa's life and vital to the big day.
Jesse Lasley
Best Man
Jadon's Ride-or-Die for more than two decades. This man has taught him by example how to trust the Lord with everything you have. He has saved Jadon's life on several occasions, been there for him through every stage of life, and forcefully removed two of his teeth. From Mission-Impossibling their way out of cribs during nap time to comparing 401k’s, Jesse has been a brother and a friend to Jadon through it all. Now on top of it all he get to call Jesse his Best Man.
