"I have known Alex since she was two years old! (Her mom is my bestie!!!) I have had the pleasure of watching her grow up into the beautiful, Godly young woman she is today! I went from changing her diaper, to sitting squeezed between her and her brother in the car, to chauffeuring her around for girl’s day, to the one being chauffeured while drinking Starbucks and talking about life and most importantly Jesus! I love to spoil her and say yes when her parents say no!" -Ashley

I could not be more happy for him and proud of where he has gotten, and I cannot wait to see where this next chapter in life takes him." -Traybin
Lilly Matheson
Bridesmaid
"I met Alex in nursing school, and she quickly became my best friend. Sent on the mission of finding soap during one of our first clinical rotations together, which turned into hiding in the supply closet, started a very special friendship. I can never thank Alex enough for the joy she has brought into my life. She never fails to encourage me, whether that be spiritually, in school, or moving onto the next book of our favorite series (still processing Throne of Glass, thank you)." -Lilly

"Alex and I met during RA training, and our friendship has only grown stronger since then—especially after we became gym buddies. The impact she has had on my life is something I will carry with me forever. She is kind, loving, hilarious, and truly the best sister in Christ. I’m so grateful that together we’ve grown in our faith. I love watching The Bachelor and The Bachelorette with her, and just spending time together in general. I’m so excited to see her marry her best friend, and I couldn’t be happier for them. And if you see me crying at the wedding... well, you didn’t see anything!" -Ellie
