Wedding Party
Samantha Ponsolle
Maid of Honor
Sammie is Alyssa's middle sister and one of her best friends. What is there to say about someone who used to always get on your nerves but now if you don't hear from her for a few days you start feeling all weird? Sammie is always there to check Alyssa when she's being sassy but supports her in anything she does.
Wesley Bumpus
Best Man
Wesley is Andrew's favorite golfing buddy who always loses to himself but never to Andrew. Wesley and Andrew have had many memorable adventures and continue to act like 15-year-old kids when they get together. Wesley is one of Andrew's closest friends and will always be.
Michala "Mouse" Ponsolle
Maid of Honor
Mouse is Alyssa's youngest sister, and probably hates "Mouse" is on here, but that's who she will always be to everyone. She is also one of Alyssa's best friends, the same as Sammie, but if she doesn't hear from Mouse for a few days it probably means she's lurking in the group text instead of responding. Luckily she's also the one that will stay on the phone for hours while just doing mundane things when they both have days off.
Alex Wood
Best Man
Alex Wood referred to himself as Judge Alex Wood when filling out his information on this site. That's all you need to know. Alex is a man of many talents, such as dancing, smooth-talking the ladies, and being someone you can always rely on. Andrew and Alex talk daily about football and life. Alex is one of Andrew's oldest friends, and this friendship will last until the end.
Olivia Bessant
Bridesmaid
Olivia is Alyssa's longest-standing friend. They have known each other since 7th grade. They were instant friends even though they only saw each other once or twice a week at church. Fast forward a few years and they were living together in college and after which were probably some of Alyssa's favorite years of her life. Alyssa watched Olivia meet and fall in love with the love of her life and Olivia got to do the same for Alyssa.
Neel Dhere
Groomsman
Andrew and Neel became friends when Andrew walked into a bar and saw a fella wearing a backward gamecock hat and an extremely too-tight sports coat. They have enjoyed many nights yelling at the tv, watching the gamecocks, and playing way too many rounds of golf.
Paige DiMuccio
Bridesmaid
Alyssa met Paige at a bar with Andrew and her husband Joe. Alyss quickly realized she was the girl she accidentally creepily watched redecorate her patio 10+ times during the lockdown. It's an awkward story that was really a clue that Paige would be a great friend when she only laughed and didn't judge (at least out loud) when Alyssa told her about it the first time they met. It's been a real blessing to have Alyssa's Denver best friend married to Andrew's Denver best friend so that we can just pawn them off on each other when we want girl time.
Joe DiMuccio
Groomsman
Joe and Andrew became friends when walking home from the gym one day and never looked back. They enjoy evenings of pulling for mediocre football teams and annoying their significant other. Joe is Andrew's closest friend in Denver and the two continue to grow closer and closer. Plus it's nice to have a Captain America in his party.
Ninette Ponsolle
Bridesmaid
Ninette is Alyssa's cousin who grew into a great friend. You might have caught a few of the Ponsolle Nailed Challenges that Ninette always keeps on track to continue. She is great at making sure all of the Ponsolle girls remain close.
Leo "Baby" Ponsolle
Ring Bearer
Make way to the cutest ring bearer there's ever been! Anyone who knows Andrew knows he "hates" Leo; note the quote because they have a daily hugging time. Our wedding day wouldn't be complete without having this goofball by our side.
Rachael McAuliffe
Bridesmaid
Rach is also one of Alyssa's cousins from Illinois. We always talk in our group chat and Snapchat "Ponsolle Bloos" (a typo we found so funny we kept it) so much so that when they came out to surprise me for our engagement she made sure to send something in the snapchat so I wouldn't suspect anything!
The Duke "Bubba" Emerson
Groomsman
Andrew got Duke when he was out on his own in New Mexico. He is the definition of man's best friend and has always been his #1 priority. Duke's love for Andrew and Alyssa has prevented attacks by cats, geese, and turkeys. Once Duke met Alyssa he knew that he wanted her to be part of our little family, Leo had a probation period. Now, this little family loves camping, cuddling, and enjoying life. Due to legal reasons, he is now #2
