Jackson & Sydney
Wedding Party
Harrison Neilan
Best Man
Harrison and Jackson have grown up together since they met when they were babies. As far back as Jackson can remember anything, Harrison has always been there. They have been on so many family trips, golfing trips, hangouts, and trips to the gun range. Jackson was the best man in Harrison’s wedding and is excited to have Harrison be the best man in his. Jackson and Sydney are thrilled that Harrison can be there for their special day.
Alyssa Neilan
Matron of Honor
Alyssa has known Jackson for a long time since Harrison, her husband and the best man, is one of Jackson's longest and closest friends. Alyssa and Sydney met when Jackson and Sydney started dating. They have been basically sisters ever since. Whether it's random lunch dates, talking on the phone for hours, burning themselves putting together decorations for either of their weddings (Sydney was Alyssa's maid of honor for Harrison and Alyssa's wedding), or just hanging out, they are always having a great time. Everything is always fine. Jackson and Sydney are so happy that Alyssa is standing next to Sydney on their special day!
