Alexis & Dylan
Wedding Party
Kayla Castagnola
Maid of Honor
Alexis has been friends with Kayla since 2006. They met in choir when Alexis was seated next to Kayla in the alto section. They bonded quickly and the rest is history! They have watched each other mature from teenagers to young adults, and have been there for each other through thick and thin. Kayla is caring, selfless, and supportive and is definitely someone you can always rely on. She is like a sister to Alexis. FUN FACT: Kayla is afraid of birds. Well... so is Alexis.
Alvin Yassuiae
Best Man
Dylan and Alvin have been friends for a long time... since the 5th grade to be exact! Although Alvin and Dylan now live far apart, they still play online video games together and chat many times throughout the week. Alexis frequently hears Dylan cracking up when he is "hanging out" with Alvin. Alvin is currently studying physics and spending time riding his motorcycle. FUN FACT: Alvin has had bearded dragons as pets in the past.
Danielle Mathiesen
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Alexis met during college while both working at In-N-Out. They started building a friendship at work, and then eventually became college roommates. They were roommates when Alexis first started dating Dylan, so Danielle got to watch the beginning of their relationship! From slingin' burgers to cuddling when the power goes out, Danielle and Alexis have shared many memories. FUN FACT: Danielle will order every condiment possible when eating chicken tenders and fries... no really... EVERY dipping sauce.
Andy Arensman
Groomsman
Dylan and Andy met at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo while they both majored in music. (Andy plays the French Horn). They became great friends and eventually became roommates. Dylan and Andy like to hang out and eat, play video games, and watch (usually make fun of) movies. They particularly enjoy the Fast and Furious films -- "it's all about family." FUN FACT: Andy knows many languages.
Krista Scharf
Bridesmaid
Alexis met Krista in 2015 when she first moved to Orange County to attend Cal State Fullerton. Krista and Alexis became fast friends due to their common interests, including both of them pursuing a teaching credential in music at the same time. They are gym buddies, choir director sisters, and shopping addicts and Alexis couldn't be more grateful to have such a supportive and dedicated friend in her life. FUN FACT: Krista always takes two pieces of gum, not one.
Dave Mathers
Groomsman
Dave and Krista (one of the bridesmaids) love to go on double dates with Dylan and Alexis. Dylan and Dave have a matching sense of humor and they can laugh for hours. They bonded very quickly, so including Dave was a must! Dave is history buff (he loved the subject so much that he got his teaching credential in history) and is a major Star Wars fan. FUN FACT: Dave loves toy poodles.
Shaina Levin
Bridesmaid
Alexis and Shaina met in high school and although they went to the same school and were both in choir, they did not truly become close until they both attended Cuesta College and became roommates. After they finished at Cuesta College, they both attended Cal Poly SLO together and performed a Junior Vocal Recital together. Shaina has always been and continues to be a reliable, thoughtful, and supportive friend. FUN FACT: Shaina really loves parmesan cheese. Like a lot...
Kris Ornelas
Groomsman
Dylan met Kris through Alexis while she was in a teaching credential program with Kris at Cal State Fullerton. Kris has a sarcastic sense of humor which jives really well with Dylan's personality.
