Wedding Party
Erin Evers
Woman of Honor
Alex and Erin have been friends for so long that it is measured in decades rather than years. Alex is honored to have Erin by her side because if we’re honest they both thought they’d eventually wind up marrying each other. Loyal, honest, and funny, Erin is the yin to Alex’s yang - the sister she never had! Stats: Years of Friendship - 25ish Likelihood to Appear in Public in Weird Outfits - High Number of Slap Fights in Homeroom - 1 Lil Wayne, Dr. Dre, and Eminem Songs Memorized Together - Several
Leisha Varga
Woman of Honor
Alex worries about what her life would be like without Leisha with far more frequency than she should. Leisha not only keeps Alex sane, she also keeps her encouraged, empowered, and valued. She also has an uncanny ability to know exactly what Alex needs and is thinking at any given moment. A superpower and a curse, some might say. Stats: Years of Friendship - 5 Percentage of Time Spent Complaining Together - 90% Cumulative Number of Cats Owned - 4 (Alex does not own a cat) Number of Metaphorical Ledges They Have Talked Each Other Off Of - Too Many
Macaira O’Connell
Brideswoman
Macaira and Alex go way back. They got their start as teammates on the Ben Franklin Middle School 7th Grade Girl’s Basketball B-Team. Though their paths diverged, the fates aligned and brought them back together in a locker room in 2019 (don’t ask Macaira about the story). Alex appreciates that Macaira is always leading her on adventures, hyping her up, and validating her wild opinions. Stats: Years of Friendship - depending where you start from, either 19 or like 7 Number of Continents Visited Together - 3 Combined Total Points in a BFMS Jersey - 26 Shared Preference for Being Horizontal rather than Vertical - Extremely High
Sarah Kasler
Brideswoman
As evidenced by the photo, Alex and Sarah were two peas in a pod in college. Despite the time and distance, they have been able to stay close as a result of the depth of the bond they formed back then! Alex is grateful for Sarah’s unwavering support, emotional intelligence, and silliness. Stats: Years of Friendship - 12 Level of Silliness - 13/10 Number of Makeup Tutorials Sarah Made Alex Watch - 46 Hypothetical Number of Dogs Owned if They Lived Together - The Limit Does Not Exist
Jeff Gough
Best Man
Jeff and Chris can simultaneously be yin & yang, yang & yin, yin & yin, yang & yang, and it 'usually' works out. I mean...nothing has burned down yet. Well...at least no animals were harmed in the making of this friendship. I mean...we did catch that raccoon that one time, but that was by accident
Jordan Smith
Groomsman
Soon to be a New York Times bestseller, Jordan still owes Chris change from when they got pizza at Purdue that one time
Kyle Nardi
Groomsman
You'll find Kyle (aka Nardi) eating all the M&M's out of Chris' trail mix, while binge watching every TV show known to man. Need recommendations for a Korean drama? Nardi's your guy
Hayden Fogle
Groomsman
Hayden has never failed in checking to make sure Chris is still alive whenever Chris inevitably fails to text him back. His tombstone will read "Good at fifa" and "Beat Chris in a race that one time"
Zach Greene
Officiant
Philosopher / historian / politician / mariner / coach / father / officiant extraordinaire, make sure to brush up on your Chinese history when playing codenames with Zach :)
Emmett Hinkle
Ring Bearer
Emmett is Alex’s oldest nephew and begrudgingly accepted the role of ring bearer. When he’s not balling out on the basketball court, you will find him playing video games with his friends or golfing.
Evan Hinkle
Ring Bearer
Evan is also Alex’s nephew and also begrudgingly accepted the role of ring bearer. A hush puppy at heart although he will never admit it, Evan enjoys playing guitar and hanging out with Kermit the Frog.
Courtney Kasler
Ring Bearer
A true bundle of light and joy (just like his parents), Courtney can entertain a room without even trying. Court is 2 years old and loves to sing, dance, read books, and blow bubbles. His favorite book at the moment is the very hungry caterpillar and his favorite genre of music is bluegrass! He’s getting better and better at riding his bike and runs very fast! Court loves to meet new people and make new friends.
Skylar Fogle
Flower Girl
Eldest of the flower girls, Skylar loves horses and all things cowgirl. Like her parents she excels in sports, her favorites being soccer and volleyball (and she has tried almost all of them). She also loves reading and writing stories, making slideshows on the computer, and the color blue!
Hadley Fogle
Flower Girl
The middle flower girl, Hadley, may be the smallest in her grade but is arguably the mightiest. Hadley loves snakes, alligators, and all sorts of critters. When she grows up, she wants to be a scientist as long as it does not involve doing any subtraction (she doesn’t like taking away from things).
Maria Fogle
Flower Girl
The youngest of the flower girls, Maria, more than makes up for her small size with her big sass. A fashionista at heart, she loves all things fabulous! Maria also loves sharks, elephants, and is a self-proclaimed “puppy expert”.
