Renée Elizabeth & Thane Alexander
Wedding Party
Kendal Noreen
Maid of Honor
Kendal and I have been best friends for almost 10 years. We are both from Round Rock, Texas, but we did not meet until our freshman orientation of college. Since then, we have been (almost) inseparable; always reconvening like no time has passed. Together, over the years, we have shared many laughs, adventures, bumps, bruises, hangovers, and plenty of stories that will serve as examples of "what not to do". Most importantly, she is a loyal, kind, unconditional love type of friend, and I am elated to have her by my side.
Phoebe Jurenka
Bridesmaid
Thane's infamous and beautiful sister, Phoebe! In truth, it never occurred to me that Phoebe may want to stand on her brother's side for the wedding, or that Thane might have wanted her to stand with him on the big day. I, selfishly, and without thinking about it, knew that I would want her with me. I am so incredibly lucky because Phoebe and I have 'clicked' from the very beginning. She has shown me unwavering acceptance, support, empathy, and love since I was first introduced to their family. Over the years, her and I have surpassed obligation or friendship; instead we are "SEESTERS!"
Bailey Breaux
Groomsman
Bailey and I have been friends for a long time, starting on the soccer fields playing for the Vipers. We became close around high school when he finally joined Dakota and I at Hahnville after not going to the same school for years. It really helped that his parents and mine got along very well, and our families tended to do the same activities. For years asking to go to the Breaux's was easy, always stopping to pick up Dakota on the way. Back then, the woods behind Bailey's house were a place for us to play with airsoft guns, attempt to rebuild a treehouse or get into anything else our overactive imaginations could come up with. Today, Bailey lives in Gulf Port with his fiancé, a slight bit further than just a drive to the Breaux's, but close enough to get together occasionally. We don't see each other often, but when we do it's like we hung out just the other day. I am excited to have him stand with me on my wedding day, reuniting our trio once again.
Dakota Catalano
Groomsman
Dakota was one of my first friends when the family moved out to Luling. At first, we actually didn't like each other very much but found a lot of common ground when we were younger and became close very quickly. Back then, you could find Dakota, Bailey and I either on a soccer field, running through the woods at Bailey's, or playing games at each other's houses. Today he is a loving husband and wonderful father for his family, who I can say is just as amazing as he is. I can count on him to always come through for anyone that he loves, and I know that many others see him the same. Over the years we may not be able to see each other very often due to adult life but he is someone I consider to be a brother and I am proud to have him stand by me on my wedding day.
