Wedding Party
Alyssa Mashaw
Matron of Honor
Alyssa is my big sister, second mom, best friend, dance teacher, ride or die, personal stylist, role model, and biggest supporter all in one. It is impossible to sum up what my sister is to me. She is the kindest and most selfless person I know, and I cannot express in words how thankful I am to have her as my big sister. She is one of the greatest blessings God has given me, and I cannot wait to celebrate my Big Day with her by my side. From all the life advice, dance memories, and countless laughs, some of my favorite memories with her are the random adventures only we would get ourselves into… like the time we rescued baby birds that fell out of a tree and proudly named them Yung Thug and Yung Metro:) As I said in my Maid of Honor speech at her wedding (and quoting our favorite rapper, Drake), “If you had a twin, I would still choose you." I love you so much bff!!!
Alexis Brownrigg
Bridesmaid
Alexis and I met on the very first day of nursing school! She sat down next to me with a whole page of notes (ON DAY ONE! I didn't know I needed to prep for nursing school before nursing school even started:) She, thankfully, offered to share her notes with me that day. We became the " inseparable duo" in our class. Since gradation, Alexis and I have taken about 3 trips together per year with our most recent being Charleston, SC. We flew back 4 days before Trent proposed to me! Alexis and I made sure Trent knew that we will STILL be taking our vacations together. Alexis is the kind of friend who always says yes to an adventure, turns every moment into fun experiences, and shares my love for being spontaneous. So thankful for our friendship and cant wait for her to be standing by my side!
Claire Pencsak
Bridesmaid
Claire and I became best friends sophomore year of high school after meeting in math class. We instantly clicked and quickly became inseparable. I'll never forget our first sleepover when Claire had a hyper attack after attending a dance competition and was worried I wouldn't want to be her friend anymore. Safe to say, we haven't gone a day without talking or finding a way to be together since then. She has been by my side through every stage of life—from dancing on the same team in high school, to going on out-of-state college tours together, to her becoming part of my family's annual Labor Day trips. Even when we attended different colleges, we never let the 6-hour drive keep us apart. Fifteen-year-old Claire and Liv would absolutely be freaking out right now. I am so excited for Claire to be with me on my big day!!
Devyn Lemack
Bridesmaid
Devvy waff! The best news ever happened recently when Devyn called me to tell she she got a job at Children's Health in Plano (where I work as a pediatric nurse) to work as a Child Life Specialist on the floor right below me. Our biggest dream of working together came true about a month ago. There is nothing better then Devyn coming to give me a hug at work during a hard shift. Dev and I became friends while being in the dance conservatory at our performing arts high school. She is one of the funniest people I know, but she's also one of the most thoughtful and caring friends anyone could ask for. Whether she's celebrating big moments with me or showing up when I need support, she always knows exactly what to say. Having her by my side means the world!! Devignus + Olignus forever <3
Faith Forkner
Bridesmaid
Faith is my college bff! We met freshman year through a mutual friend, and we went on to live together for sophomore and junior year (she just had to graduate early and leave me!). She moved back to Dallas with our dog, Kelli, that we adopted sophomore year, to attend law school (but she drove the 5 hours back to Lubbock every weekend she could to visit). I met Trent through Faith's boyfriend. We got to live out the dream of best friends dating best friends!! Now that we're both in DFW, we get to see each other often, go on double dates, and continue making memories together. Faith is one of the most loyal and supportive friends I know. She is always willing to drop everything to show up for the people she loves, and I am so grateful to have her in my life. We still dream about owning houses next door to each other one day:) I love her so much and am beyond thankful to have her standing by my side on my wedding day.
Skyler Tepedino
Bridesmaid
Sky Sky! We can became friends freshman year of high school when we were both in the dance conservatory, and I truly can't remember what life was like before our friendship. Skyler has been such a constant source of love, support, and encouragement through every season of my life. One of the things I admire most about Skyler is that she loves deeply, listens without judgment, and is always the first person to show up when someone needs her. Skyler and I made a promise to each other about 10 years ago that we will send our future daughters to the same dance studio so they could do duos together. We dream of holding duet rehearsals in each other's houses. Can't wait to make that happen;) I am so grateful for her friendship and couldn't imagine this day without her by my side!!
Trey Graham
Best Man
Trey is my older brother, and he has been there for me since day one. We’ve shared so many stages of life together. First, growing up at home with our family. Then, during college where we became roommates my freshman year (this is when we became even closer). I lived with him and two other guys, and for most of the year I even slept on a cot. Most recently, I had the chance to live with him again in Fort Worth for a little while after I graduated. No matter the season of life, he has always been there for me. I’m incredibly grateful for our relationship and honored to have him standing beside me as my best man.
Austin Cantrell
Groomsman
Austin has been one of my best friends since he moved to Santo, Texas, in elementary school. We lived only about five minutes from each other and spent just about every weekend at one another’s houses. Growing up, we even rode the same bus to school together. He has been by my side for as long as I can remember. Even after I moved to Lubbock for college and our lives went in different directions, we always stayed close. He made multiple trips to come visit me, and I would come back to Santo to hang out with him whenever I could. We also always made an effort to see each other during the holidays when school was out. I’m truly honored to have Austin standing by my side as a groomsman during such a special chapter of my life.
Ethan Waldroup
Groomsman
Ethan is my fiancée’s brother, but over time he has become much more than that to me. From the beginning, he welcomed me into the family and has always been someone I enjoy being around. I’m thankful for the relationship we’ve built, and I’m honored to have him standing by my side as one of my groomsmen.
Grant Nemeth
Groomsman
Grant has been my best friend since our flag football days growing up. Over the years, we’ve shared countless memories and great times together, and he has always been the kind of friend who will have my back no matter what. I’m a year older than Grant, so I graduated high school first and headed to Lubbock to attend TTU. Not long after, Grant made his way there too, and we continued making memories throughout our college years. During that time, we both learned a lot about ourselves and grew together through every stage of life. I’m incredibly thankful for his friendship and honored to have him standing by my side as one of my groomsmen.
Javie Cerda
Groomsman
Javie is my cousin, but we became especially close after he transferred schools and became a Red Raider. Growing up, we mainly saw each other at family gatherings — Easter, Christmas, birthday parties, and other special occasions. Not long after he transferred to Texas Tech, he texted me while I was out with some friends. I told him to come hang out with us, and from that night on, we grew a lot closer and started making some great memories together. Since then, our friendship has continued to grow, and I’m thankful for all the memories we’ve shared. I’m excited to keep creating more memories together as we get older, and I’m truly honored to have him standing by my side as I marry Olivia.
Brooks Mashaw
Ring Bearer
Brooks is the CUTEST little 2 year old oh my... He's the youngest member of our wedding party, but he has the biggest personality ever! We love when he asks us for candy because he knows we will say yes every time :) We love his big smile and tight squeezes, and can't wait to watch him walk down the aisle with his big brother as one of our ring bearers!
Elliott Mashaw
Ring Bearer
Oh, this cutie pie... Elliott is Dip Dip (my "aunt" name :) and Uncle Trent's oldest nephew, and we couldn't be more obsessed with him. He is the most respectful, loving, smart, and entertaining 5-year-old that we know. We can't wait to watch him walk down the aisle as one of our ring bearers!
