Alyssa & David
Wedding Party
Amber Snyder
Maid of Honor
Amber and I went to high school together but became best friends in college! Our adventure started out by dodging 'zombies' on Varick Street and using our codeword 'Jagerbombs' to get away from creepy boys. Before I knew it, Amber was helping me pack my uHaul as I made the biggest change of my life when I moved to Maryland. This girl has been there for me through absolutely everything. She is a consistent shoulder to lean on, one of my rocks, someone I know who will be there for me no matter what! There are few things in life that I am more grateful for than our friendship. Also, nobody puts us in the corner.
Michael Griffioen
Best Man
Dave and Mike have been best friends since college and was Dave's little brother in their fraternity! Long nights of Magic the Gathering and fantasy baseball debates consume most of their time together. Mike is that guy that will drop anything for a friend & Dave knows he can count on him for anything. He'll be sure to give a 'pretty good' speech.
Andy Bodenmiller
Groomsman
Andy and Dave have been friends since middle school. You will more than likely meet Andy early in the evening as he enjoys making friends wherever he goes! Our favorite thing about Andy is he will always show up for a friend when needed.
Laura Griffioen
Bridesmaid
Mine and Laura's friendship came naturally, yet inevitably since our husbands have been best friends for over a decade. My favorite thing about our friendship is the endless conversations, extreme sarcasm, and late nights in our PJs drinking wine. I'm exceptionally grateful for Laura as she's always willing to help me with planning or lending an ear when I need to vent. A friend who just 'gets you' is truly one of the best friends you can have and I'm so glad to have her with me on my big day!
Alicia Fikes
Bridesmaid
Everyone has that one friend that they can be unapologetically themselves around. Alicia and I always seem to be each other's first phone call when boys come and go, when we need advice, or just need to vent. The friends that you can talk to with 'no filter' are the best friends to have and I'm so excited to finally have her in Michigan to help celebrate my special day.
Ryan Barck
Groomsman
Malibu introduced Dave to the AXP fraternity and opened the door to many of the friendships Dave has and cherishes to this day. He can always be counted on to get the crew together and will definitely be a friend for life!
Alyssa Gray
Bridesmaid
Alyssa was my first girlfriend in Michigan! She is one of my favorite people to hang out with because together we always make new friends and there is never a dull moment! I know whenever I have a spare ticket to a game that she's always down to come with. My favorite thing about Alyssa is that she will always show up and just be there for life's special moments. I'm very grateful to have her as one of my best friends!
Dave Nawwas
Groomsman
Nawwas and Dave have been best friends since 2nd grade. From wrestling on the elementary school playground to going to live WWE shows in their adult years, these two will forever have something in common. Nawwas is definitely one of our favorite people and we're so happy to have him with us on our big day!
Sara Goodspeed
Bridesmaid
Sara and I have been best friends since our Freshman year of high school. You could always find Sara and I cheering on the sidelines (she still has my pom-poms, actually) or getting together on the weekends for 'girls nights.' Sara has always been that friend that I can tell anything to without judgment and it's always returned with the best advice. I can't wait to have her beside me on my biggest day ever!
Fred Bartolomei
Groomsman
Fred and Dave were roommates in college for 2 years and became fast friends! Anytime you need a laugh, just ask him to show you the St. Patrick's Day dance video. It may or may not get reenacted at the reception, so be sure to have your camera ready!
