Wedding Party
Shelbie Vanzant
Matron of Honor
Shelbie and Alexis met in seventh grade. It didn't take long before they were best friends that did everything together. They spent most of their time growing up camping, four wheeling and baking. Shelbie lives in Florida now with her husband Jon and their one year old baby boy, Emmitt. Although they are thousands of miles away from each other, their friendship is stronger than ever. She is the friend that will be there for you no matter what. Alexis can't wait to share this special moment with Shelbie by her side.
Henry Rubey
Best Man
Tyler and Henry have been friends for 8 years. They met working together at the Anchorage Airport. Most of their time together is spent either golfing, playing hockey or catching up over some beers. They are always dancing around like no one is watching. A core memory that's hard to forget is a time they were on a bike ride, and Henry might have crashed leading him to washing his shoulder off in a creek then completely disappearing under the water. Henry is always full of jokes.
Jessie Erickson
Matron of Honor
Alexis' partner in crime! Jessie and Alexis became friends during their senior year of high school. Before they knew it they were inseparable. It doesn't matter what they're doing, it's guaranteed to be a good time. Jessie can put a smile on anyones face and is always your biggest fan. Alexis can count on her for any and everything, and couldn't imagine her special day without her.
Christopher Rock
Best Man
Tyler and Chris have been lifelong friends, they met at the boys and girls club when they were 10. They share a mutual love for fishing and the outdoors. If they aren't out on the river together then they're probably planning their next fishing or camping trip. They spent a lot of time four wheeling at Knik with Chris's family or at the Russian River with Tyler's grandparents growing up. The only thing separating these two from being brothers is blood. They've both witnessed each other breaking bones, and one possibly ran the other one over on a four wheeler.
McKenzie Hughton
Bridesmaid
The greatest gift from the groom! Tyler introduced Alexis to Kenz. Before she knew it she had another best friend. They have been friends for almost 4 years now, and man have they made so many memories already! Kenz is someone who will always be in your corner cheering you on. She makes the best out of any situation and always makes sure you are having fun. It's only fitting that Kenz joins her on her greatest adventure yet.
Nicholas Hughton
Groomsman
Nick and Tyler have been friends for 9 years. Tyler met Nick through Nick's wife, McKenzie, who is a bridesmaid. They all three share a passion for hockey and skiing. Tyler introduced Nick to fishing, and one memory they share from a fishing trip is flipping a pack-raft on the maiden voyage, both losing everything they had but each other, Tyler's dog Sage, the raft and half a paddle. Nick has not been fishing since.. LOL. Nick always has something witty to say and knows how to bring a smile to your face.
Jennifer Cramer
Bridesmaid
The life of the party! Jen and Alexis became friends about 4 years ago. Jen lights up any room she walks into. She's the most loyal and genuine friend who you can turn to for anything. She will also give you the best advice you will get in your life, no matter what is is! Once they found out about their mutual love for brunch, Ellie and Sage (lol), and margs they knew they'd be best friends!
Garrett Peters
Groomsman
Garrett is Tyler's only brother. There are a lot of similarities between them, both being very strong minded, some may say stubborn, but a soft spot to help each other when one needs it. Both look up to one another and protect one another like brothers do. Its hard to imagine Garrett not being by Tyler's side on this special day.
Ally Williams
Bridesmaid
Ally is Alexis' sister. They may not have always had the closest relationship, but Alexis wouldn't trade it for anything. Through the ups and the downs, the laughs and the tears, they have come a long ways together. Alexis is so excited to have her stand by her in one of the happiest moments of her life.
Gustavo Cruz
Groomsman
Gustavo and Tyler have known each other about 10 years now. Tyler met Gustavo through a mutual friend and instantly bonded. They have shared lots of adventures and laughs over the years. Between long boarding the coastal trail, hiking in the mountains, jumping in Kenai Lake to tow a sinking boat (not theirs) to shore...and late nights on the town you could say these two are double trouble.
Karly Carter
Bridesmaid
Alexis and Karly have been friends for 6 years. Funny story, Alexis didn't start off liking Karly.. but that's how the best friendships start, right?! Karly is a nurse and a new mom. She knows how to have a good time with whatever comes her way. Karly and Alexis share many memories from just turning 21 and going out, to religiously going line dancing every Thursday. Karly is one of the most supportive friends, and Alexis is so excited to have her next to her on her big day.
Emmitt Vanzant
Ring Bearer
Emmitt is Shelbie's son. He is a big 1 year old, and already has the biggest personality. Alexis wishes they could be closer, but loves the endless photo and video updates she receives on this growing boy!
Gracie Erickson
Flower Girl
Gracie is Jessie's daughter. She is one of the smartest, boldest, sassiest, most loving little girls you will ever meet. She definitely keeps you on your toes, and it has been so much fun watching her grow into the little firecracker she is.
