Melissa & Alexander
Wedding Party
Taylor Sidel
Maid of Honor
Taylor and I met in 5th grade at a mutual friends birthday party, we snuck off from everyone else and had the best time making prank calls, I laughed so hard that night! We traded phone numbers and kept saying we should hangout every time we crossed paths for years but never did again until our Junior year math class. We ended up reconnecting Senior year and our bonding moment was sitting in a car and we laughed the same way with a loud sigh after which made us laugh even more and from then on we’ve been besties/sisters through everything! Taylor has integrity, is so loving, and never gives up. I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day ❤️
Michaela Garton
Matron of Honor
Michaela and I met through a mutual friend, she was not so sure of me at first then we quickly grew to become best friends/roommates for a time/ and most importantly she’s like family to me! We recently did a double bachelorette party and then she was married the next day, so happy I got to go back to WA for that special day! Michaela is an extremely caring, funny, charismatic person and I’ve always loved her big spirit and conversation. I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! 💜
Sydney Lynn
Bridesmaid
Sydney Lynn is my beautiful niece. She was almost born on my birthday, so we’re technically birthday buddies ;) I was the only one she would let burp her quickly as a baby and I have loved watching her grow into an impressive young woman. Sydney is now going to college for business and I couldn’t be more proud of all her accomplishments and who she has become as a person. I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! 💙
Brittney Fradenburgh
Bridesmaid
Brittney is my long lost sister! We did not grow up together but we share so much personality. We’ve had the chance to bond in our later years and go on many trips together. She is so beautiful, funny, thoughtful, and such an amazing sister! I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! 💛
Isabella McSpadden aka Bell
Bridesmaid
Bell and I met a few times mutually through Michaela. We ended up being roommates and that’s where our bond really grew. Bell is as loving and thoughtful as they get! She pays attention and is there when you need her with exactly what you need 💛 I’m so happy to call you one of my bestfriends and family and I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day!
Kristen Pagliaro
Bridesmaid
Kristen started as my manager at State Farm. I probably annoyed her by asking a million questions but I got lucky she still wanted to be my friend 😉 We haven’t worked together in years but we’ve went on many weekend vacations together, ran Bloomsdays, and she has become a close part of my family. I admire how adventurous, smart, and beautiful of a person you are. I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! 💜
Jessica Pearson
Bridesmaid
Jessica is my amazing sister in law. She married my brother Elijah and they have a beautiful son named Ewan. She is the best addition to the family and so sweet and elegant. I cannot wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! ♥️
Kristina Davis
Bridesmaid
Kristina is my soon to be sister in law although it already feels like we’re sisters! You have welcomed me to the family since the day we met and I feel so lucky. You even helped me say yes to the dress 🥳 I’m excited for our many family memories to come and I can’t wait for you to stand by my side on the big day! 🩷
William Lewis
Best Man
William and I were rivals from the day we first met. He sat on my tank in show and tell when we were kids, but now we laugh about it as adults (but he still owes me a new tank). He is one of my best friends and we always enjoy racquetball, basketball, and working on each others houses together. Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day. The only thing that is left to say is make sure he doesn’t sit on our wedding cake!
Dylan Hogge
Best Man
Dylan and I were friends at first site in 3rd grade. We bonded over dirt bikes and fishing which later turned to golfing and fishing. He is one of my best friends and I am glad to have someone like him to call my brother and and bicker with like old men. Also, it’s great when we team up on William Lewis in our racquetball games! Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
William Ruiz
Groomsman
Will and I first met officially when we were on De-ice together in the military. Some guys were playing ping pong while waiting to go to work and thinking I was a hot shot I called next game. Will was the first one to give me a run for my money even though he STILL lost. Since then we’ve bonded over long nights on mid shift and tequila shots after work. All jokes aside, he is someone that you can always count on. Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
Juan Pruneda
Groomsman
Juan was the most Air Force blue guy you could ever meet “yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full”. We arrived at Fairchild around the same Time and in processed together. We bickered the entire time and soon after became friends. We’ve hiked, camped, deployed, lived, and gambled together. I can always count on him being goofy and us having a good laugh together. Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
Chris Spring
Groomsman
Chris is another buddy I was lucky enough to meet through the military. He is one of those guys that you know you’ll always have a good time with! We’ve bonded over golf, pool, fishing, deployments, your wedding, and now mine. Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
Christopher Campbell
Groomsman
Chris is my soon to be brother in law. We first met when he stole my tie at his sisters wedding and now we have the running joke that he still owes me a tie. He is a fun and interesting guy to talk to but if you see him wearing a red tie just know it might be stolen. All jokes aside, thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
Elijah Pearson
Groomsman
Eli is my soon to be brother in law. We haven’t had the chance to spend too much time together but he is a smart guy who walked me through some house projects. Looking forward to making more memories and getting to know him better! Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
Anthony Davis
Groomsman
Anthony is the brother in law I never wanted…….but always needed. He is just as sarcastic as me or sometimes even more but I love him for it. We bonded over YouTube music videos and late night scotch drinking. I know he is the perfect match for my sister and now he gets to stand by me while I marry my perfect match. Thank you for agreeing to stand with me on our big day.
