Meet Our Crew!

Ashley Degel

Maid of Honor

Ashley has known Lexie her entire life and in that time, they have grown extremely close. They definitely carry the Degel traits and make a great duo. They share lots of likes but Lex and Ashley's favorite like by far is to travel. Although Lex is dropping the Degel name, they will forever be family. Ash has no problem with being loud or getting what she wants - it's the Degel way, after all! Catch them on a plane to the nearest island near you!


Kari Bowman

Matron of Honor

Kari has known Lex for 9 years and it doesn't seem long enough! From their love for margaritas to dancing to having each other's backs, they are inseparable (except for the whole living in different states scenario). They got engaged a week apart and married a year away from each other. Lex could not imagine going through this new chapter without her beautiful bride of a best friend by her side. Catch Kari on the dance floor at the reception. It's a sight you cannot miss!

Elissa Degel

Bridesmaid

Lexie has known Elissa since she was in their mom's belly! Being a big sister was a huge honor to Lex, but it was even more special for Elissa. Although they are 10 years apart people still ID Lex but wouldn't blink an eye to Liss because of her poise. They may look like opposites but they love each other hard! One could say Elissa loves Lexie's fashion because her clothes always seem to be found in her closet! Catch Elissa sporting something of her favorite sister's on the big day!


Erika Fuertes Tetzel

Bridesmaid

Erika has known Lex for years and is also TJ's sister. Since middle school Lex has always looked up to Erika. Lex always wanted an older sister and was always jealous of her friends who had one. Now, not only does Lex get to have an older sister but it gets to be her favorite, Erika! Erika has made TJ & Lex's relationship a breeze and has helped them so much, whether it be with hugs or places to eat. Lex is forever grateful to have her in her life forever. Catch Erika making sure Lex feels like a princess on the Big Day - like big sisters do!

Alyssa Fuertes

Bridesmaid

Amanda Pena

Bridesmaid

Amanda is Lexie's cousin and has known Lexie her entire life. They grew up together as sisters. Although Amanda is a couple of years older than Lex, they both share advice and look out for each other no matter what. Because of always living in different states they cherish the time they have when they get together and make sure to make it count!

Catch Amanda giving a TED talk to all the bridal party to ensure a good, loving and fun time!

Nicolette Argyropoulos

Bridesmaid

Nikki has known Lexie since their first day of 6th grade. Nikki's friendship means the world to Lexie and is one of the longest friendships she's had.

No matter the amount of time spent not seeing each other it always feels like it was just yesterday whenever they meet up. Their obnoxious hellos are what keep them young. Catch Kelly using a unique voice saying "hello" to Lexie on her Big Day as if she didn't just see her a minute ago.
