Alexandra & Michael
Wedding Party
Ashley Chronister
Matron of Honor
Ashley and Alex met while working at Grady. They bonded in navigating the challenges of working as ICU nurses at the Marcus Stroke and Neuroscience Unit. They have shared both laughter and tears together, most of the time while staying late to finish charting after busy 13+ hour night shifts. Ashley has grown to be one of Alex's closest friends in Georgia. She has been there to support Alex through her most difficult challenges in life as well as celebrate and share in her happiest moments. Alex looks up to Ashley for inspiration--she is not only a stellar nurse, but also one of the most genuine, caring people Alex has ever known. There is no question that Ashley Chronister will be Alex's lifelong friend.
Emily Ready
Bridesmaid
Alex and Emily met during their Freshman year at USC when they lived on the fourth floor of their Capstone dorm. They grew closer when Emily joined the same sorority as Alex. Emily went on to become Alex's roommate for the rest of college (with the exception of her study abroad semester). Alex and Emily bonded over their similarly nerdy inclinations, funny Vine videos, and John Mulaney sketches. Alex admires Emily as a friend, especially for her expertise in wine and spirits, mastery in fine cooking, and her overall fun, easy-going spirit. This gorgeous, intelligent lady has continued to be a close friend to Alex beyond her college years.
Sarah Mills
Bridesmaid
Alex and Sarah met during their Freshman year at USC as suite mates on the fourth floor of their Capstone dorm. They grew closer and their friendship became solidified during their sophomore year when Sarah joined Alex's sorority and became her "little." Sarah and Alex bonded as extroverted introverts, and Alex came to value both Sarah's down-to-earth nature and similarly cynical sense of humor. Alex admires Sarah for her ability to see the best in people, despite their shortcomings. It's no wonder her senior superlative was "Most likely to see the good in the world." This kind, beautiful lady has continued to be one of Alex's closest friends from her college years.
Amanda Dyl
Bridesmaid
Amanda is married to Alex's brother Patrick, and has been a part of the Britton family history for a long time. She is mother to two beautiful children as well as two adorable Keeshonds. Alex loves being Auntie to Amanda's kids, and she looks forward to having Amanda involved in her and Mike's big day!
Jessica Bolden
Bridesmaid
Jessica has been a long-time member of the Britton family. She and Alex's older brother Frederick made Alex an aunt for the first time, and they have raised three beautiful children together. Alex is a proud Auntie to Jessica's kiddos, and she is very excited to have Jessica a part of her and Mike's momentous day!
Elizabeth Turac
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth, aka Lizzie, is Mike's younger sister. Lizzie is known for both her intelligent and artistic nature. She is currently pursuing a degree in architecture at Georgia Tech. She is always happy to help out where needed, whether it be moving, cleaning dishes, or being a designated driver--hence, "Thanks Lizzie!" Lizzie has welcomed Alex into the Turac family with open arms and endless homemade gluten-free treats (Thanks Lizzie!!!).
Alexandra Bingham
Bridesmaid
Alex B. and Alex B.... Don't get them confused--one of them is the bride, the other is Mike's older sister. Alex is married to Greg Bingham. She graduated from UGA's Terry Business School and has gone on to achieve great success as a professional businesswoman. Mike values his sister for always being genuine and looking out for her siblings' best interest. Alex and Alex connected over similar names (past and present), hard work ethic, and love for their MOMMMIEES.
Spencer Sackett
Best Man
Mike met Spencer on a Catholic retreat in high school, and they have been friends ever since. Together they went to UGA, and they shared many great memories "studying together." He has always been a solid man, reliable, and Mike can honestly say that he's never regretted spending time with Spencer.
Cameron Niakan
Groomsman
Mike met Cameron while in his college dorm during his Freshman year. Both of them graduated in three years from UGA. Cameron is well known for his humor, impressions, dancing, and love of all things Dawg Nation. He is a very selfless man who just likes to help...
Greg Bingham
Groomsman
Greg is husband of Alex Bingham, Mike's older sister. They like to talk politics, play basketball, and put forth their best impressions of sport icons ranging from Stephen A. Smith to Stone Cold Steve Austin. There's nothing better than ATHENS!
Frederick Britton
Groomsman
Frederick is Alex's oldest brother. As the oldest child, Frederick served the role of guardian growing up--he always looked out for his younger siblings. He has accomplished much in his life and career, through his impressive pursuits in his undergraduate studies at Wake Forest and graduate studies at GW and Georgetown as well as through his service to his country as a Major in the U.S. Army. He truly knows how to juggle the many stresses of life while staying true to being a loyal and loving brother, son, father, and spouse. Mike has bonded with him in sharing common ground and laughter in their life stories.
Patrick Britton
Groomsman
Patrick is Alex's second oldest brother. He has always kept life interesting as the "Irishman" of the Britton family. Alex has many fond memories of growing up with Patrick and often finds herself laughing when recalling the many shenanigans they got into as young children. Alex has always been proud of her brother Patrick--in his strides in his education/career through his undergraduate and graduate studies at Wake Forest, in his role as Major in the U.S. Army serving his country through several deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and in his dedication to being a loving and loyal husband, father, brother, and son. Mike had the opportunity to meet and bond with Patrick on a night out on the town in Roswell, GA.
Ollie
Best Dog
Alex and Mike are proud fur parents to their Beagle boy, Ollie. This little guy is sure to make some guest appearances during the wedding festivities and ensure a barking good time!
