Maid of Honor
Meet one of the maid of honors, Jordal Hanson, best friend of the bride. Jordal and Alyssa met when they were both working at Bremer Bank. Jordal was hired after Alyssa had been working there for a bit and she was NOT a fan of Jordal in the beginning. One day though Alyssa realized she was being ridiculous and asked Jordal if she and her boyfriend wanted to go to a work sponsored hockey game with her. It was a whirlwind of a friendship after that. A few years later, there have been PLENTY of nights out together, weekend shopping trips, a trip to Nashville, a baby and now a wedding. She even wing-womaned (very poorly) for Alyssa when she first met Nate. As one of the most important person’s in Alyssa’s life it only makes sense she has one of the most important roles in the wedding.
Maid of Honor
Meet the other maid of honor, Kendra, little sister of the bride. She was one of the first people to hear about the engagement and she was almost more excited over it than Alyssa was.....almost. She was immediately on Alyssa’s Pinterest wedding board to determine the vibe she wanted to create and could not wait to help with the planning. They’re sisters, but over the years the two of them have also become friends so she obviously gets maid of honor status too.
Best Man
They started off as just college roommates and holy moly has it progressed to a deeper relationship.....some (the bride) might say to a disturbing level sometimes. They survived college together. They endured many ridiculous shenanigan's together. They survived and continue to support one another throughout the years despite not being able to see each other in almost five years and living about 4000 miles apart. Their friendship is very unique, they can have an entire conversation consisting strictly of just sounds together and somehow know what they are saying. After Nick asked Nate to be the godfather of his firstborn son, Phinneous, Nate knew he had to repay the favor by asking him to be his best man.
Bridesmaid
Missy and Alyssa became friends when they were both working at Bremer. They may have been working at different branches but that did nothing to prevent the friendship. Even after Missy moved away to be with her husband and left Alyssa could not stop the friendship. They bonded over their mutual love of food and trying new recipes. They even made a cookbook together (sorry, not for public sale). Missy and Nate have also become really good friends.....they mostly bonded over their mutual love of Alyssa. She was there for the big moment when Nate proposed and both Nate and Alyssa agreed she should be a part of one of the biggest days of their lives.
Groomsman
Dave and Nate met through mutual friends in college then served in the same unit together in the Army. Their friendship quickly grew as they became roommates in college and discovered a shared love for cars. Shortly after, Dave and Nate both ended up moving to Fargo and ended up as roommates once again and also ended up working together for a period of time. Apparently there's no separating these two and Nate definitely wasn't go to start by not having him as a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Her newest best buddy and her soon to be sister, Amber and Alyssa clicked instantly. Nobody tell the groom but sometimes the bride likes his sister more than him. From wine nights to shopping dates to wedding plan the girls have started a strong friendship which will only lead to a stronger sister bond come September. Alyssa is definitely going to replace Nate as Amber’s favorite sibling.
Groomsman
What started as two guys just working together has blossomed into a beautiful bro-mance. Logan and Nate have become good friends over the years, he’s a friend of Alyssa’s and it only makes sense he’s in the wedding party – he introduced the bride and groom to each other. One could say we wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the one and only Logan Wilson.
Bridesmaid
Mallory and Alyssa have been friends since high school – although they definitely didn’t start off as friends. That changed their senior year though and since then the girls have had plenty of “adventurous” times together. They’ve been travel buddies to numerous locations including the glamorous Scottsdale, AZ a few times, Chicago for the 2017 Lolla festival, Seattle, a few trips to the cities - one of which included a slappin’ Post Malone concert. Before Nate came along Mallory was Alyssa’s life partner – they even survived being roommates for a few years (mind you one of those houses they inhabited was infested with bats), so there’s definitely no pulling the two of them apart.
Groomsman
The brother of the bride and the soon to be BIL of the groom. They didn’t always get along when growing up together – he claims Alyssa was bossy and she claims she just knew best because she was the oldest – but they’ve always had each other’s backs over the years. Since he knows how bossy his older sister can be he knew he basically had no choice but to accept the fact he was going to be a groomsman.
Honor Attendant
Once again a good pal the bride made when she was working at Bremer Bank....what a place to make lifelong friends apparently. Some might call the bride controlling and slightly picky about stuff, so the idea of relinquishing control the day of the wedding to make sure things run smoothly was not one she was initially fond of. When she thought of Amber though she knew she would be the perfect person to take care of business. There’s not many people Alyssa trusts to run events and keep things in line the way that she would, but Amber is one of those trusted few.
Ring Bearer
The bride is not at all worried about this little cutie stealing her thunder on the big day........
