Our Wedding Party

Shelby Lynn

Bride

Shelby is originally from Katy, Tx, and currently lives in American Fork, UT with her fiancé, Chase and their two dogs (Mia and Riley). Shelby enlisted in the USMC in 2012, and following one active duty enlistment in Okinawa, Japan decided to come back to the civilian world. She attended American Military University where she received her BA in Intelligence Studies with a concentration in Counterintelligence, and her MA in Intelligence Analysis. Shelby loves hiking, camping, baking, going to concerts, sky diving, and living life to the fullest with Chase and their fur babies.

Chase Alexander

Groom

Chase is originally from Katy, Tx, and currently lives in American Fork, UT with his fiancé, Shelby and their two dogs (Mia and Riley). He is a very talented musician, and even writes his own songs. He is also one of the hardest working people you'll ever meet, especially when it comes to house DIY's or his job. Chase loves the outdoors, adventuring, all things music, and getting into trouble (IYKYK)! #chaseadventure He's always willing to try new things, and is also an amazing cook!

Shannon Zickler

Maid of Honor

Shannon and I have been friends since we met at a contract job in Virginia, nearly 7 years ago. She was also the first person to come visit me in Utah after I had JUST moved to the state. She had to come check out the new boyfriend, and make sure I wasn't making a huge mistake. Shortly after meeting Chase, we pretty much instantly gained her approval, and she came back to visit AGAIN in the same year! Shannon is the type of friend everyone needs to have in their life. She will go to crazy lengths to make sure her friends are okay, and support them however she can. Chase and I agree that she's our honorary “third wheel”, and we both absolutely adore her. Shannon is one of the most loyal people I know, and I couldn’t be happier to have her standing by my side for our wedding.

Davis DeBerry

Best Man

Ashley Skopik

Bridesmaid

Ashley is not only my future sister-in-law, but also one of my dearest friends. From the moment we met, she welcomed me into the family with open arms and made me feel right at home! We instantly bonded when she came to visit us for the first time in Utah. She has an infectious laugh and can always crack us up with her silly jokes.

Brice Skopik

Groomsman

Courtney Fussell

Bridesmaid

Another story of instant work besties while we were working in Virginia. We've shared so many laughs and she's been there when I needed her most. I've always felt like we were sisters for different misters since we seem to always be in Sync. She is a courageous human being, and took a huge leap of faith over the last year to leave the life she knew for the life she could have, starting her own business - Lazy Cattle Co. in Stroud, OK. I'm so proud of you!!!

Justin Brown

Groomsman

Katie Kroncke

Bridesmaid

Katie and I became friends pretty quick when she came to visit us in Utah last winter with her boyfriend, Davis (Chase's Best Man). Over a long weekend with those two, we figured out we have a very similar relationship story, seemingly enjoy all the same things, and have very similar outlooks on nearly everything. Pretty sure we were fraternal twins separated at birth...

Shannon Rodriguez

Bridesmaid

Shannon is my younger sister, forever friend and an all-around amazing human. She has been my devils advocate through our entire lives, always willing to offer me an alternative perspective (or smack some sense into me), but also willing to give her support however she can.

Mary Jo Martinez

Bridesmaid

MaryJo and I became friends while I was living in Virginia, working on the same contract. I'm pretty sure our first day we decided to be best friends and that everyone else there simply sucked, haha. Once we found out we were both from the great state of Texas, we bonded even more. MaryJo is the person who I felt brought me back to life when I was in a truly weakened state, and is my forever hype-woman!

Katie Vadasz

Bridesmaid

Katie was my first friend in Utah, and also moved from the East Coast like I did. We met at BRCC, and were cube mates, but also became fast friends (bonus that our men and pups also became fast friends). Katie is such a genuine, sweet person, and so much fun to be around. I'm so thankful for our friendship <3

Tommy McNew

Father of the Bride

Not my father by birth, but has been there for me through all that life has thrown at me the last 15+ years. Always willing to walk me through things that I don't understand, or let me vent when I just need an ear. Also someone who I think I've seen mad twice in all those years and I'm pretty sure both times I was in my teens and being a pain in the butt, haha. Thank you for being here for us!!!

Cathy McNew

Mother of the Bride

My birth giver :) Thank you for always supporting me and my crazy antics, and embracing my "fun in a box" mentality. She has been there for me through whatever life through at me, and somehow that hasn't scared her away, haha. I love you, Mom!

Father of the Groom
