Wedding Party
Zoe Falk
Maid of Honor
Zoe and Alyssa met in 7th grade and immediately bonded over books. They have been inseparable ever since. They can often be found curled up on a couch together reading. A favorite memory they share is chasing a bear on a Girl Scout camping trip.
Jesse Capps
Best Man
Jesse and Alan met freshman year at ODU. The engineering majors quickly became friends over a shared love of antique cars and trucks. A few favorite memories they share from the Junker Run road trips. Between head gaskets blowing, driveshafts falling out and fuel pumps failing, there are a number of stories to tell.
Megan Brennan-Smith
Matron of Honor
Megan forced her friendship onto Alyssa their freshman year of college. They became roommates and close friends, spending many nights together giggling over rom coms and wine. About once a week you can find them cuddling on the couch watching trashy reality TV, sometimes they even let Alan join!
Samuel Linton
Groomsman
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, Alan and Samuel bonded over Thomas the Tank Engine. All was well, until their brothers and sisters disrupted the natural order. Two years later, the young Jedi toddlers were separated and their time was long forgotten. 13 years later during a fateful encounter at ODU, a blinding beacon shining from Darth Carlo’s luminous noggin, reunited the Jedi. The two soon became inseparable again and their lives were forever changed. Alan gave Samuel a crippling car addiction, which they both now share. Samuel became the first alternate for watching Bullet. The once young Jedi, overcame the dark side of their majors and became masters in their respective fields.
Carlee Smith
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Carlee met at the Coastal Virginia Weavers Studio in Norfolk and have been best friends ever since. If they can’t be found doubled over laughing or in various stores, you can often find them sharing a nice cup of tea and enjoying the glorious tea that is Bridgerton
Anthony Trotta
Groomsman
Alan and Anthony met in 9th grade and immediately bonded over band and cars. They can often be found under broken down cars. A favorite memory they share is going on a band cruise and Alan showing Anthony that the ice cream machine is open 24/7 and root beer floats can be breakfast.
Kelly O’Keefe
Bridesmaid
I’ve gotten to know Alyssa through Alan, and it’s been such a pleasure to watch my older brother to fall in love. From cookie making, to beach days, to Christmas cruising- we are only at the start of our adventures together. I’m so thrilled to welcome her into our family. Now I finally get to have a sister!
Brian O’Keefe
Groomsman
Alan and Brian are two brothers. The two brothers have been together since the beginning. Whether it be building Legos, demolishing gingerbread houses, assembling components for conveyor systems, scouting, playing music, marching while playing music, even making guest appearances in each others’ video projects for school. And you better betch'ur bottom dollar that these two brothers know how to handle business. But let's get back to the brothers because they have a strong bond! You don't wanna know about it here, but I'll tell you one thing. The Moon. It comes crashing into Earth! And whaddya do then? It's Two Brothers in theaters now!
Elise Farell
Officiant
Two years ago, Elise and Alyssa met at the Coastal Weavers Studio. They became quick friends, bonding over their shared love of fiber and aerial arts. They enjoy checking out local trails, restaurants, and thrift stores when not chatting away at the weaving studio. They also enjoy taking turns hosting dinner, catching up on how their lives are unfolding.
Noah LeGrand
Groomsman
Alan and Noah met on the first Friday of college. While locking their bikes up, they realized they were in the same class. One hour later, Noah was nudging Alan to stay awake in said class. Now nearly a decade later, the two have upgraded and now Noah nudges Alan during work meetings to stay awake. One can only surmise that this will continue well into their old ages when they live as next door neighbors sharing gardening and chicken keeping tips.
Valkyrie
Dog of Honor
Valkyrie was 5 months old when she moved in with Alyssa. She was thrilled to move in with Alan because it meant more snuggles with her favorite people. She convinced Alan to build a fence and now spends the day happily romping around the yard. She enjoys long walks and belly rubs.
