Alyssa & Donnie
Wedding Party
Donnie Hoover
Groom
Sometimes Donnie will take an "accidental selfie". This happens when he forgets to angle the phone down far enough and Alyssa's face is only partially in frame.
Alyssa Yuen
Bride
The website forced Alyssa to crop Donnie out of this picture of her and Daniel Radcliffe. She really had no choice.
Austin Marusco
Best Man
Austin and Donnie met in college and were roommates for 3 years. Austin deleted his facebook, so this is one of the approx. 4 photos that still exist online of the 2 of them. He is still upset Donnie stopped using iOS.
Anthony Yuen
Man of Honor
Anthony is Alyssa's older brother. They grew up together in Mississippi, where they had frequent nerf gun fights and played with Legos. Now that they are adults, they still engage in nerf guns fights, legos, and enjoy doing dangerous activities but not telling their parents until afterwards.
Alex (Margee) Warwick
Groomsman
Donnie and Alex grew up on the same street. He sometimes has a beard.
Sarah Locke
Matron of Honor
Sarah and Alyssa became besties after a life chat in a stairwell at the Honors College Sophomore Service trip. They bonded over their love of Malbecs, the soulful voice of Juanes, and all thing Disney.
Chase Hoover
Groomsman
Chase is Donnie's older brother. Chase is very glad that he is not building all the furniture for Donnie's wedding like he did his own.
Connie Chan
Bridesmaid
Connie and Alyssa grew up together and experience our awkward middle school years, especially when Alyssa stopped growing and Connie just kept getting taller. We now like to look back at the not-at-all awkward photos of our youth and enjoy our fashion choices.
Britt Hoover
Groomsman
Britt is Donnie's younger brother. Britt is a PE teacher and lacrosse coach. Britt learned everything he knows about the lacrosse from 2 places: Donnie and "the streets".
Tatiana Stola
Bridesmaid
Tatiana and Alyssa met at Columbia where they both studied Arts Administration. While living together, they would frequently make donuts, apple turnovers, and other yummy baked goods at odd hours of the night. Tatiana with another grad school friend crashed Donnie and Alyssa's 7th date. They snap-chatted about it.
Bobby Lytle
Groomsman
Bobby is Donnie's older step-brother. To date, he has thrown Donnie out of 2 golf carts by swerving hard left.
Kathleen Lytle
Bridesmaid
Kathleen is Donnie's step-sister and helped Alyssa navigate the Hoover/Lytle clan. She's the BEST spa buddy a gal can have and will also spontaneously visit a psychedelic meadery, no questions asked.
Patrick Lytle
Groomsman
Patrick is Donnie's younger step-brother. They used to fight to the death in teepee's but now they're cool.
Vannie Yu
Bridesmaid
Vannie and Alyssa met while studying abroad in Qingdao, China. Almost six years later, they realized they both lived in NYC and quickly reconnected over food, dating horror stories, and Broadway.
Cullen Greene
Groomsman
Cullen is Donnie's youngest brother / groomsman. He may try to sell you sneakers after the ceremony.
Michelle McMurtray

Alyssa met Michelle at Square Pizza in Oxford while Michelle was at Ole Miss Law. They bonded over their shared love of Kate Spade, all things J.Crew, and food. Michelle also introduced Alyssa to the deliciousness that is an Ale 8.
