Alyssa & Grayson
Wedding Party
Erin Anderson
Maid of Honor
Erin and I can't remember when our friendship actually started, but our best guess is first or second grade at Sleepy Hollow Elementary. After being shushed in church for whispering too much while serving as acolytes, we joined our high school's public speaking and debate team together, where we were finally rewarded for talking a lot with trophies.
Hunter Wolf
Best Man
My best friend since the age of 0, Hunter is the oldest of my brothers. My best memories usually involve Hunter, and I suspect the same is true for him. We did most everything tandem, and when we couldn't, I tagged along anyway. Like our favorite childhood superheroes (Superman and Batman), there will always remain some brotherly competitiveness.
Lana Wolf
Matron of Honor
Lana blazed the trail of becoming a member of the Wolf Pack by marriage -- she's married to Grayson's older brother and Best Man, Hunter Wolf. She is the best future sister-in-law that a gal could ask for. Alyssa always wanted a sister, but never knew she needed a Lana.
Chase Wolf
Groomsman
Chase is the older of my younger two brothers, and he has been my caravan buddy for many road trips. Chase is decidedly not a morning person, and the alarm clock that can wake him is very rare clock indeed. We shared a room growing up, so I often was that alarm clock. Any other time of the day, you will find Chase to be quick-witted and friendly.
Andrea Bonilla
Bridesmaid
Though Alyssa and Andrea are both born-and-raised Bay Area gals who attended East Coast schools, they met in D.C. while working at the same consulting firm with Steph. Andrea and Alyssa share the correct opinion that #WestCoastistheBestCoast.
Harrison Wolf
Groomsman
Harrison is the youngest of the Wolf siblings. He banters with the best of us and shares the Wolf-trademarked lankiness. Harrison was still in school when I was a substitute teacher, so I had the joy of teaching one of his classes. Doubtless he didn't see it as such a joy. Despite the age gap, we have shared plenty of adventures over the years.
Nicole Delgadillo
Bridesmaid
Since first grade, Nicole and Alyssa have been scheming. Not over any specific diabolical plot, just general scheming. You can now find these two former bunheads scheming over coffee, wine, or long walks with Nicole's dog Mireu whenever they're back home in the Bay.
Brandt Sheets
Groomsman
Brandt is the extra brother I've always wanted; three just wasn't enough. While all my brothers own guitars, Brandt is remarkable in that he is the only one who can actually play guitar. We have already done beach trips and baseball games, but I am looking forward to more experiences with Brandt.
Megan Ferguson
Bridesmaid
Megan, Alyssa & Grayson are all veterans of Section F, meaning we survived our first year at WashU Law together. Megan was a steadfast friend to Alyssa through every final exam, cold call, and cringey law library tour during 1L year.
Matt Smith
Groomsman
Matt was one of the first people I met at Baylor, and we quickly became very close. We were roommates for two years. Over the years, we have stoked each other's fandom for failing sports franchises and have encouraged each other during the most demanding and tumultuous times. Also, Matt has been the unwilling victim of my finest pranks.
Andi Hoyt
Bridesmaid
Andi and Alyssa met during fall semester of the first year of law school, at the annual WashU Law Halloween Party, when Andi was dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Alyssa was dressed as a Baywatch cast member. They have been best buds, troll comrades, karaoke popstar partners, and world travelers together ever since.
Elijah Cunningham
Groomsman
There is an ongoing debate about when Elijah and I met. However, we both remember thinking, "This is the strangest dude I've ever met." Lucky for us, we were the same kind of strange. During high school, we unleashed heck on the youth group.
Stephanie Methodios
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Alyssa were in the same consultant class at Booz Allen with Andrea in D.C. There was even a point in time when the three of them lived within a three minute walk from each other! Stephanie and Alyssa bond over their love of good food, traveling, and each other.
Paul Koester
Groomsman
My most enduring Waco friend, Paul and I met in fourth grade. Our friendship has been incredibly formative, not least for our shared love of Lord of the Rings. Seventeen years later, we're still geeking out over Tolkien's work. (The Hobbit movies never happened.)
Annie O'Shea
Bridesmaid
After Annie's family moved to the Bay Area halfway through high school, Alyssa and Annie first met in junior year Chemistry class. We have constantly ignored reminders to quiet down ever since then.
Josh Baguley
Groomsman
Like all great friendships, ours formed due to twenty hours in an overcrowded sedan en route to Tampa, Fl. Tale as old as time. From long talks about theology to Viking-style dinners, our friendship has been anything but ordinary. Friends since freshman year at Baylor, Josh continually pushes me to be better. I, in turn, constantly find new ways to antagonize him.
Madeline Sheets
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Alyssa are cousins who blessed the Sheets family when they were both born in 1992. They've always been close, and Alyssa couldn't imagine not having Maddie standing up there with her on her wedding day!
Austen Shearouse
Groomsman
Austen and I met at Baylor Line Camp nearly a decade ago. Our years together in the same classes, same apartment, and same fake fraternity forged a close friendship. No matter what irrational position I took in an argument, I could always count on the unwavering support of Austen - his loyalty is not constrained by reason. Finally, Austen has an angelic voice; if you are lucky enough to date him, you should ask him to sing a song.
Stephen Curren
Officiant
Stephen is the biggest personality in the room and usually the biggest appetite, too. Despite his trim figure, Stephen can put down gallons of ice cream in no time. Our friendship really took off when I joined the apartment known as "Fort Kickass" during my senior year. Thanks to Stephen, there was never a dull moment.
Vesper Lynd Wolf
Kitty of Honor
Grayson and Alyssa adopted Vesper Lynd in October 2019. Hailing from Salem, MO, Vesper Lynd has been on a stealthy mission to capture the hearts of her pawrents. She has accomplished this mission. She is also an up-and-coming Instagram influencer! You can follow her at @vesperlynd_thecat
