Wedding Party

Katelin Carmichael

Bride

I met Alex in 2012, but we didn’t start dating until 2019. Life may not have panned out the way I originally planned, but I could not be more thankful for the life that has fallen into my lap. My favorite memory with Alex, is our Pay It Forward project in high school. We worked so hard to gather over 2,000 toys for a women’s shelter. We worked so hard that winter, and made such an impact on the shelter. Today, we still love to make a difference in our community together and donate multiple times a year to people in need. I really cannot wait to marry my best friend of 10 years!

Alex Ploum

Groom

What can I say I met this beautiful soul on probably the worst day I've ever had in high school. After cussing out 3 girls making fun of her I decided that she was the only one I wanted to talk to in that class. Good thing I did because we ended up becoming close friends for 10 years, and now I get to stand at the altar with this amazing woman. She also gave me the most goofy and handsome son that anyone could ask for. I'm happy that we finally get to come together as three in our perfect crazy little family.

Wyatt Ploum

Bride’s Escort

My mommy & daddy are getting married! Don’t let my smile fool you, I am the most mischievous boy around! My favorite memory with my mommy & daddy is when I got on top of our table and mommy kept telling me to get down & I just kept dancing! I can’t wait to help walk mommy down the aisle on her special day with my grandpa Carmichael.

Daniel Carmichael Sr.

Father of the Bride

As I watched Katelin grow up into the women she has become, I couldn’t be prouder of her. Our family continues to grow and we are thrilled to welcome a new son in law into our family. Katie, you will always be daddy’s little girl.

Laretta Carmichael

Mother of the Bride

I am a mom to 3 boys and one beautiful baby girl. I couldn’t be more proud of the person Katelin is. She is head strong and confident, stubborn and very feisty, loving and giving, sweet and sassy, and most importantly the best mommy to Wyatt. I can’t wait to welcome our new son, Alexander Ploum, to the family.

Reinier Ploum

Father of the Groom

Alex is my 3rd born son and I am proud of everything he has accomplished so far in life. He is a great father to Wyatt and treats Katelin so well. We are excited to introduce another Ploum into the family and watch the three of them unite as one.

Kathryn Ploum

Mother of the Groom

I am so excited for Alex and his amazing future with his soul mate Katelin. I am so excited to see the family they have started with Wyatt and continue to grow and flourish. I can’t wait to celebrate their union in August. Love you all so much!

Daniel Carmichael Jr.

Bagpiper

I’m Katie’s cool brother! I’ll never forget when Katie was in the hammock in big bear and I snuck and antiqued her !!! ( threw a pound of flour on her !) Congrats to you and Alex and wish you many years of marriage. I am honored to play there bagpipes while you walk down the aisle.

Alexander Carmichael

Officiant

I'm the eldest, most wise and best looking of the Carmichael siblings. I'm very honored to have been asked by Ploum (aka Alex) and Katelin to officiate their marriage and play such a pivotal role in making it a historical day. My favorite memory of my sister is seeing her becoming an auntie and when she held my little girl Kaleigh for the first time. From that moment on I knew she was going to be a first-class aunt to her nieces and nephews and an even better mommy, which she now is to Wyatt.

Masen Carmichael

Ring Bearer

I’m the ladies man of the Carmichael cousin crew! I am 5 years old and definitely know how to get a smile from the girls. I love to have sleepovers at my auntie and uncles house, because we make awesome forts and have yummy pancakes in the morning. I can’t wait to boogie all night at their wedding!

Kieran Carmichael

Ring Bearer

I’m the loudest of the Carmichael cousin crew! I am 3 years old and you will definitely know when I’m in a room. I like to make a grand entrance everywhere I go and can’t wait to eat all the cake my tummy can take at my auntie and uncles wedding.

Maverick Carmichael

Ring Bearer

I’m the biggest goofball of the Carmichael cousin crew! I am 3 years old, but I can get anyone to laugh at my silliness. I cannot wait to shake my booty on the dance floor at my auntie and uncles wedding.

Kaleigh Carmichael

Flower Girl

I’m the firecracker of the Carmichael cousin crew! I am 7 years old & have a lot of sass to me like my auntie Katie. I love when my auntie takes me to special places like the aquarium, because I love to learn about the animals. I can’t wait to wear a pretty dress at my auntie and uncles wedding.

Kenzie Carmichael

Flower Girl

I’m the littlest of the Carmichael cousin crew! I am 12 months old and have not known my auntie Katie and uncle Alex very long, but my mommy and daddy always tell me how special their story is. I can’t wait to be the center of attention at their wedding!

Cortney Keen

Maid of Honor

I’ve known Katelin for over 25 years and we’ve basically been sisters since birth. From school, soccer, and life, we’ve always been there for each other. Now she’s getting married and I’ll be standing right by her side!

Marissa Carmichael

Bridesmaid

I met Katie when she was 14 years old and she’s always been that little sister that I never had. I used to help her get ready for her high school dances and now I get to stand next to her as she marries her bestfriend. CHEERS TO THE FUTURE PLOUMS🤍 love you guys xoxo

Robin Carmichael

Bridesmaid

Hey y'all! I'm Katelin's sister in law and I'm so excited to share the special day with family and friends. I first met Katelin when she was in elementary school and I have had the opportunity to see her grow and become a mother and wife. Her happiness is of the upmost importance and Alex is that for her. (He better or he has a lot of older siblings to answer to!) Love to the happy couple! Cheers!

Shelby Ploum

Bridesmaid

Katelin & I went out to grab lunch for the first time after Wyatt was born. What made it so memorable was after lunch Katelin sat in the car to feed Wyatt as I had volunteered to pack everything back into the car but I could not figure out how to lock the car seat into the base, collapse the stroller, condense the diaper bag, or even open her trunk. I was climbing all over the car muttering to myself as I am screaming for Katelin's help with the tasks I was under-qualified for. Problem was, Katelin was laughing so hard that she could not mutter a single word! Anyways, I eventually got everything in the car & by the time I got to my seat my pride was nowhere to be found. This is just one of many fond memories I have with Katelin & I can't wait to make so many more as the wedding approaches!

Kiersten Johansen

Bridesmaid

My name is Kiki and I’m Alex’s cousin. My favorite memory with Alex and Katelin would be when I finally got to meet my sweet little cousin, Wyatt, for the first time! I am so excited to introduce Katelin into our family.

Jessica Deane

Bridesmaid

The first time I met Katelin was after a long day at the Scottish festival in Long Beach with Blake & Alex. The entire time we were there, Alex was talking about this great girl he was seeing, & her Scottish heritage. Every time we saw her family name posted on a tent or flag somewhere, Alex would get so giddy & talk about how much Katelin would’ve loved it. After we left the festival we got dinner at the Claim Jumper Katelin was working at & she hooked us up with so much food & so many drinks. After she got off work she came over to Alex’s house & we got to know more of this great person Alex had spent the day telling us about. Katelin & Alex are two people meant to be together, & I couldn’t be happier for them. I’m so excited to be a part of their special day.

Kaytlin Turk

Bridesmaid

Katelin and I met through work in 2017 and we instantly had a connection, maybe it’s because we’re name twins! I’m glad to have her in my life as one of my closest friends. I remember just like it was yesterday celebrating her 21st birthday and now I can’t wait to celebrate her marriage and many more milestones to come!

Amanda Alford

Bridesmaid

I wouldn’t say I have a direct favorite memory, since it’s always an amazing time with Alex and Katelin. It definitely has been so amazing watching them grow more and more in love and also being such amazing parents to little Wyatt. Thank you Alex for giving me a new best friend and your still mine too lol. I cannot wait to watch you guys get married and start the next chapter in your life!

Corey Ploum

Best Man

I’ve known Alex since ‘94 and he has been keeping real ever since. I have tons of great memories ranging from blanket beatings to playing the back 9, and the front 9, sometimes out of order but never sober! I have enjoyed watching my younger brother become a father and a family man and I am so proud of him. Cannot wait to see what the future has in store for him and his family. Love you brother.

Andrew Ploum

Groomsman

I am proud to stand beside my brother as he takes this next step in life with Katelin. I am so happy to be Wyatt’s uncle and having Katelin join our family. Congratulations to Alex and Katelin on their wedding.

Kona Ploum

Groomsman

Alex, Chris & Corey came out to Norco & we thought it would be fun to go hike in the Cleveland National Forest. After the usual debaucheries we got to hiking, we were alongside the creek relatively far into the trails when we heard something’s growl echo in the trees up. Before we could even see what it was, Chris said "Eff-THAT" & started running away. Alex & Corey asked no questions, but I blinked & they were already out of sight following Chris. I'm left standing by myself staring at a Mountain Lion! I ended up finding them down the trail laughing how they ditched me. We finished out the day having top ramen & capri suns on another trail up the mountain. It was fun to be out with them doing something we didn't normally do. I’m excited for the wedding & for them to start married life!

Aaron Carmichael

Groomsman

I am so proud of my sister, Katie, she is truly an amazing mother. She is a wonderful little sister, and I am honored to be Wyatt’s godfather. I wish Alex and Katie the best in their future as a family of three.

Joey Alford

Groomsman

My favorite memory with my best friend Alex, was not a single moment but a week long memory, when my first kid was born. He was there when we needed him, and was there when he probably shouldn’t of been (but you get the hint for that lol) he was even mistaken as the father a few times for how well he was helping take care of Amanda!  What I’m looking forward to the most for the wedding is to spend one of the most important and memorable moments of my best friends life, with close friends and family surrounding everything. 

Luke George

Groomsman

I have so many awesome memories I can share about Ploum and me, but if I had to pick one it would be where my dad and I took him to Bishop, Ca for the first time. We left early Friday morning and arrived about 3 AM in the morning. The first thing we did when we got there was cracking open a beer and start fishing for trout right away. Later that day we went to our camp site and started setting up for the weekend. Around lunch time we all went to go clean our fish that we caught and since Ploum hasn’t caught a trout before we told him he was obligated to eat the heart and the look on his face was priceless. I can’t wait to see my brother marry the girl of his dreams. I am excited for your guys future!

Gage Monroe

Groomsman

I have been great friends with Alex since elementary school. There is rarely a dull moment with this guy, whether he’s cracking quick one liner jokes that keep people laughing or performing the fastest shotgun you ever done seen. He is one of the most genuine and loyal dudes, and anyone lucky enough to have him in their life would say the same. He’s a kickass dad to Wyatt, and I’m sure he’ll be a kickass husband to Katelin. I’m stoked that I get to be part of Alex & Katelin’s big day and wish them (and Wyatt) love and luck in all their future endeavors.

Kenny Solomon

Groomsman

The best memories I have with Alex are too many to count on both hands. From fishing, to having bud lights in the garage, and now spending quality time with him and his little family have all been great. I’m happy to call him one of best friends and be there next to him on his big day.

Conor Cochran

Coordinator

My favorite memory with Alex and Katelin would be when they came over for dinner and Katelin was super pregnant and I got to see what Alex was always talking about and how amazing they are with each other. I am honored to be a part of their special day and excited to see the life they build together as a family.

For all the days along the way
