Alex & Carissa

April 26, 2024 • Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico
Sophia Doak
Sophia Doak - Maid of Honor
My cousin and other half. In total, we have likely been on the phone with each other for at least 40% of our entire lives. Most likely to bring her cat to Mexico for this wedding.
Harleigh Jones
Harleigh Jones - Bridesmaid
We met in sixth grade, and have been best friends for every chapter of life since. True life: I am actively trying to become her neighbor right now so our kids can be best friends. Most likely to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro without training. That happened.
Katie McCallister
Katie McCallister - Bridesmaid
Weʻve been best friends since I invited her to my party in 8th grade. Now we live across the country but still come together for the important stuff: Taylor Swift concerts. Most likely to stop and ask to pet your dog, or have literally written the law in your state.
Catt Lovins
Catt Lovins - Bridesmaid
We bonded over AP classes and music when we were 16, and have been best friends ever since. Iʻll be having a lunch date at True Food with her for the rest of my life, if Iʻm so lucky. Most likely to be the best dressed at this wedding.
Alexis Cabrera
Alexis Cabrera - Bridesmaid
Sisters with small dogs and big plans! Alexis consistently reminds me of all the lives you can choose for yourself, whether its in India or in Bushwick or on a bicycle. Most likely to wear a jacket in 100 degree weather and still be cold.
Lauren Chamberlain
Lauren Chamberlain - Bridesmaid
Graduate students first, best friends forever now. Stalked each other on facebook before school started and independently decided we would be best friends. Itʻs been 8 years since. Most likely to have microplastic in her hair at any given time.
Lexy Davis
Lexy Davis - Bridesmaid
She needed a place to stay once in 2017, we became best friends, and have hit 4 countries and 10 states together since. Most likely to bring oracle cards on the backpacking trip but forget a hairbrush.
Jessie Holland
Jessie Holland - Bridesmaid
Cousins by fate, best friends by choice. Recently chose to live to a mountain cabin in a ski town for a month with our dogs just to hang out. Most likely to make you a greek salad and forget what sheʻs saying while she is saying it.
Nick Filardo
Nick Filardo - Groomsman
I was told that you have to invite your brothers to your wedding so here is part 1 of Mike and Dave needing wedding dates. The only time I saw Nick in a full blown panic was when he thought he saw a tiger shark while surfing my favorite break. It was probably just a dolphin. Most likely to pitch a business venture the first time meeting.
Greg Filardo
Greg Filardo - Groomsman
Part 2 of Mike and Dave. Greg is sometimes referred to as a small-town celeb. Growing up, Greg always wanted to be like me and that is why he is in corporate sales. Most likely to hit on the bridesmaids... watch out ladies!
Cameron Cavalin
Cameron Cavalin - Groomsman
It's 2015 and I am sitting at the Hilo Airport and see a guy in a bright pink polo shirt (collar popped) walk up to the baggage claim to grab his giant backpacking pack. Little did I know we both went to school in Santa Cruz and therefore had become best friends. Most likely to ask you the most obscure "would you rather" questions.
TJ Tyrfingsson
TJ Tyrfingsson - Groomsman
To think that this friendship all started back when we were high school freshmen in Mrs. Warden's Design and Drafting class. TJ thought I was a scary sophomore and I thought TJ was a nerd for being the only one in the class with a higher grade than me. Most likely to bring his bike to the wedding.
Titus Wong
Titus Wong - Groomsman
Within the first year of knowing Titus, he crawled into bed with me, Carissa, and Riley in the middle of the night. Instead of being scared out of our minds, we made sure he was comfy with a pillow and blanket as we all crammed into my full bed. I don't know where I would be without Titus' joyous nature in our lives. Most likely to offer you a shot of fireball.
Vaughn Lee-Thorp
Vaughn Lee-Thorp - Groomsman
Vaughn started out as Megan's boyfriend who would come visit Santa Cruz every few months. A couple years later he moved into our house on Mott Ave and we became best friends. Vaughn taught me everything I know about cameras and photography so thank you for an extremely expensive addiction. Most likely to be the chillest man in the room.
Matt Chamberlain
Matt Chamberlain - Groomsman
Matt and I were immediate friends, and it wasn't just because Carissa and Lauren are besties. It was really because we dominated Lauren and Carissa at apples to apples the first time we met. We recently got free tickets to a Pink Floyd cover band. Neither of us knew any of their songs and we could have combined our ages and still have been the youngest ones there. Most likely to bring you some craft beer from half way around the world.
Jerry Worsham
Jerry Worsham - Groomsman
Welcome to the echo chamber baby! For some reason, Jerry not only convinced me to run a marathon but to run a marathon for each decade of our lives. Our 30s is almost upon us and it's time to start training again. Where would we be without Jerry's optimistic way of thinking, can do attitude, and sometimes sassy remarks. Most likely to eat a stick of celery for dinner and actually enjoy it.
Randall Scarborough
Randall Scarborough - Officiant
How can we forget about our lovely officiant. When Randall agreed to officiate our wedding, he asked if there was anything special he has to do since its in Mexico and not the United States. I told him that was a Randall problem and I'm crossing my fingers that we are actually going to be married at the end of all this. The first year that Alex lived with Randall, we barely talked and now we are best friends. Most likely to bail you out of a sticky situation.
