Tirza and Alex have been life-long friends since the 1st grade! Tirza moved to Colorado for college and graduated with a nursing degree. She was married over the summer of June 2017 and currently lives in Loveland, CO with her husband Scott. Alex is so excited to have Tirza by her side to celebrate with her after being in Colorado for her and Scott's wedding several years ago!

Emily is Alex's best friend and has been a part of Alex's life for around 6 years. Emily is a 5th grade teacher in Round Rock, TX. Between her busy schedule as a teacher with work that follows her home and Alex working the night shift at the hospital, happy hours or brunch sometimes need to be scheduled a week in advance. However, Emily and Alex's friendship always continues right where they left it while trying to balance their busy lives. She has been a major help in planning the Orzech-Butler wedding and has made it fun! Alex could not imagine celebrating her and John's wedding without Emily by her side.

Emily is Alex's brother Nick's long time girlfriend. They met in high school at Round Rock High School and graduated together in 2013. She and Nick live in Lewisville, TX where Emily works as a middle school English teacher. She is currently working on her master's degree, so we are so excited that she is able to take time out of her already extremely busy schedule to be a part of the bridal party!
