Wedding Party

Amy Nihart

Maid of Honor

Alyssa says: Amy and I kind of share the same brain.... which I think is wonderful. Other people, like our teammates on group projects, might find it terrifying. She prays for me constantly and answers all of my tough work questions, like "how do I handle a teammate wearing an inappropriate shirt?" Amy says: We have a deep friendship marked by many uncanny similarities often causing us to joke that we have the same brain. On top of that, I think our friendship is so special because of our consistency, shared faith, and ability to navigate somber and silly times together.

Eric Montessano

Best Man

Maddie Jedlicka

Matron of Honor

Alyssa says: Maddie was my first best friend. When we were younger, it was because she would do whatever I told her to do. Now it's based in a little more like shared interests and sisterly advice. Having a married sister has been so invaluable to me as I have navigated my dating relationship with Caleb. Maddie says: Alyssa has been my built-in best friend and biggest role model! From sharing a bedroom for 12 years, to sharing friends, to going to the same college, she has been present for all of my biggest moments - I can’t wait to stand by her side for her big moment!

Alex Santoro

Groomsman

Amy Smith

Bridesmaid

Alyssa says: Amy was the FIRST friend I made when I moved to Center Grove, and I haven't let her go since. She has seen me through the last twelve years (which includes a reallllly long awkward stage) and loved me through it all. She is the gentlest and kindest person you will meet (and SOON TO BE MOM)! Amy says: Alyssa is my vacuole-loving best friend of twelve years. Since I’ve known her, she’s been a constant in my life— always ready for a FaceTime call, a game of “Jenga Girl Talk,” or a life chat over half-price apps at Applebees. She’s never ceased in pointing me towards Jesus, and I know this trait will make her such an amazing wife for Caleb!

Meredith Fain

Bridesmaid

Alyssa says: How do you begin to describe Meredith? As a kid, I would have been shocked to hear that she was in my wedding party (since she made it her #1 goal to annoy me at every turn). Now, she is the first person I call for a pick-me-up, and our shared "ENFJ energy" (as she calls it) unites us. Meredith says: Me and Alyssa have the same Myers-Briggs personality type (ENFJ), are in the same sorority (Sigma Kappa), and feed off of each others energy while teasing our family members relentlessly. While these similarities made us bicker as kids, it has been the sweetest thing to grow as sisters and friends through the years, leading us to have some of the best inside jokes and times together.

Abi Fain

Bridesmaid

Alyssa says: Abi is one of the consistently few reasons I am really really bummed to not live in Indiana. I love watching her grow up from afar, and it has been a joy to watch her personality develop over the past few years... some might even say she is turning into a "mini-me!" Lucky her, right?!? ;) Abi says: Growing up, sis consistently had the best advice and was the best at bothering people. I would not be as much of a pest as I am today without her.
