Alexis & Louis
Wedding Party
Alexis McGee
Bride
Lexi, you are my everything. I wake up every day a better man because of your love and support. You found me (again ;) ) when I didn't even know I was looking. As KC & Jojo sing "All my life, I prayed for someone like you." I am so happy to live in your heart. Can't wait to spend the rest of my life next to you. You are the sun in my sky, my one and only sunshine. I love you more than words can say! --Lou
Louis Maraj
Groom
Lou is one of the sweetest and most kind hearts I have been blessed to know. After trying to get his attention in 2018, and seeing my second chance to catch his eye in 2019, I knew that I couldn’t let this meeting go to waste. I knew there was something special about him. It was written in the stars. His commitment to communication and sense of humor are two of the many reasons he stole my heart. Lou has been there for me when I was uncertain; he comforts me when I’m sad or scared. He shares in my struggles and my achievements not because I bombard him with calls and texts (although I do) but because he loves, cares, and supports me. I know his love for me is true and sure. I will walk to you down the aisle, and I will walk with you through life. I love you, Lou. -Lexi
Cyrena McGee
Bridesmaid
“Sissy,” as I affectionately call her, will be standing by my side on this special day. I couldn’t be happier to share this momentous occasion with my sister. I am so proud of all that she has accomplished in her life, and I couldn’t imagine this day without her. My sister has been my teacher, my confidant and comrade, my critic, and my protector from the very beginning. Thank you, Cyrena, for showing me a strength and confidence I didn’t know how to express. I love you, Sissy. -Lexi
Leiselle Maraj
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Leiselle was the sibling who felt like more like a friend to me. She inspired me to read, learn new things, and could somehow always make me laugh. When she joined me in the States, I finally felt like I finally had a home here--a place where I could go to let my guard down, to eat a bess doubles, to laugh at the stupid things from years ago that we still find funny. I've watched you grow into a mother this past year and know just how lucky Lara is to have you. I'm so grateful that my big sis will be a part of this important day! --Lou In the short time I have known you, you’ve made me laugh and feel like part of the family. We’ve bonded over the struggle to find good hair care products & more. I appreciate your humor and your honesty. I can’t wait to call you my sister. —Lexi
Norman Rasmussen III
Groomsman
We been boys since we roomed together in India. Though we've each changed (and grown up) a whole lot since then, I know you always got my back. We've had really tough conversations about life, work, relationships, philosophy, science, gardens, and everything in between. You a real one, Norm. Happy you'll be sharing in the special day. Happy to call you "brother." --Lou
Lemuel Maraj
Groomsman
"D boss"--my coast guard brudda. We were always very different people, but we grew up knowing that that didn't stop us from being real with each other. Only recently we've realized, I think, that we aren't so different. Appreciate whenever we get a chance to talk. I have learned so much from you. --Lou
Anthony Rios
Ring Bearer
My nephew, Anthony, is 3 years old going on 37. He has the sweetest heart and the spirit of an adventurer. Anthony is kind and gentle especially with younger kids. He’s excited to walk down the aisle in anticipation of “An-T’s” big day! -Lexi
