Our Wedding

<p>Domonic and Alexis met through mutual friends in March of 2016 while attending a work party at Grand Casino and some people know how the detailed bits of that initial visit transpired but we won't talk about that here... Fast forward to summer of 2016 when we started spending time together playing on a co-ed volleyball team with those same mutual friends and a few others. Unfortunately we weren't very good at volleyball and we really didn’t talk to each other a ton outside of it or the occasional group event. Things just kind of went on that way for quite awhile until Alexis moved to Texas in February 2017 and by this time had caught some feelings for this guy. We had the idea that long-distance was never going to work so at that time we decided to remain friends. We talked almost every day after that and Alexis eventually came back to visit in June of 2017. During this visit we both decided we owed it to ourselves to see if this could go anywhere. Spoiler Alert! It did and we dated long distance for a year until Domonic moved to Dallas in June of 2018. We had our fair shares of ups and downs in Texas but we created life long friendships, had various apartments, different jobs, adopted a new dog, and survived having a partner in nursing school. We've also traveled to various places and gotten to experience a lot as a couple. In the fall of 2023 we decided to make a change and move back to MN to give life a nice soft reset. We’ve been back in MN since March of 2024 and it’s definitely nice getting to be closer to more of our family and friends. This finally brings us to December of 2024 when Domonic decided to get down on one knee and ask Alexis to be his forever! Of course she said yes and this story gets to have an endless amount of extra chapters that are yet to come.</p>

Our love story

Our Story

Photos

This girl has been by my side since our high school days! We have had our fair share of shenanigans and memories. She has been there with and for me for all the important moments in. When we are together there is endless laughter and she can put a smile on anyone’s face. She might be one of the only ones that has embarrassing photos and videos that may come back to haunt me! I am so lucky to have Court be my maid of honor. 

Courteney Marquette 

I will be the one to claim Amanda... Actually I guess Domonic gets to claim her first. This girl right here is sissy Amanda to me and we have had a bond since day one of meeting. We are very similar people and can talk on the phone for hours about everything and anything. I always knew I wanted her to be by my side when I marry her brother!

Amanda Root

Nursing school and mutual friends brought us together. We also happen to share a love for wine so that's pretty cool. She is one of the sweetest souls I know and I am blessed to have her as one of my closest friends. She always tells me how it is and keeps it real! We have many great memories of spending time with Ana and her husband (we even crashed their first wedding anniversary) and they are some of our best friends from Texas. 

Ana Robinson

My go to girl! I met Lucy during my first job in Texas. When I graduated nursing school she became my preceptor and our friendship quickly blossomed. We have done trips together, endless game nights, and annual cookie baking. These are just a few of my favorite memories and she is always up for an adventure with me! I am so excited to have one of my favorites up there with me on my special day!

Lucy Batson 

I met Ashley through Domonic and we’ve been friends ever since. There have been tons of memories and laughs over the years including bachelorettes, weddings, parties, winstock, and bean bags to name a few. Ashley is always up for my many shenanigans and I of course am up for hers.

Ashley Mallberg

Maggie is a dear friend from high school. She is one of the sweetest and genuine person I know. Feel free to ask her about our road trip to Branson after high school... You can also ask about our music video to ice-ice baby. I’m so happy to have her be a part of our day and am so thankful we have stayed in touch over the years. 

Maggie Fisette

My sweet Abby is the one who gave me the title of “big sister.” She is smart, loving, and talented in so many ways. This year she takes on the journey of starting middle school and volleyball. Abby now likes to tease her big sister that she’s taller than me. I definitely couldn’t say “I Do” without one of favorite loves!

Abby Schladweiler 

Lily is definitely the quietest and sneakiest of all the sisters. I also swear she is the animal whisperer because there is no animal this girl can’t connect with. She has a strong love for horses and it has been awesome to see her take on the experience of English riding. She is another one of my favorite loves and I couldn’t say “I Do” without my Lily Belles!

Lily Schladweiler

Oh sweet Madi Jo... She's the up and coming new star and has been my little sidekick since day one. Honestly, I’m probably her favorite sister. She knows more about current trends than anyone I know. She has the sweetest personality and beautiful spirit. I would not be saying “I Do” without  all my loves present. 

Madi Schladweiler 

The definition of our hype girl. Amy has been in our corner since the day she met us. She's always there for us whether we need life advice or when we just need a night to unwind. Regardless of circumstance she has a way of saying the right things at the right time and we have no doubt that she will hold true to that on our special day and beyond.

Amy Miller

Bearzz and I have been friends for as long as I can remember and I mean that literally. Our parents are long time friends so by nature we have always been close with each other. I'm also not sure when the last time I used his real name was... In all honesty I am thankful to have a friend like Bearzz who has been by my side for everything good, bad, or ugly. There have been many late nights or early mornings together and I wouldn't have anyone else with me for this one too.

Jared Vee (Bearzz)

"Life before death, Strength before weakness, Journey before destination." 
I honestly don't know what I would do without Adam. We have known each other for a very long time but were never very close until we were both into our adult life. I can always count on him for advice, counseling, or even just a good solid conversation. He thinks he's funnier than me but we all know that is only in the way he looks... All jokes aside he is without doubt the most grounded person I know who also happens to be a master of dramatic flair. Bridge Four!

Adam Kounkel 

Derek is a very solid friend of mine. I can say he is one of the biggest reasons I am always open to just do something rather than sit at home. We have done so many things together including airsoft events, car shows, joining a Call of Duty team, playing hockey, and we even started a much larger than normal fire... Even though we aren't the type of friends that talk every day he's always down to meet up for a beer to catch up and relax. He and his family have always accepted me as one of their own so I'm glad he can be with me for my wedding.

Derek Wick

What can I even say about Tyler? He and I met toward the end of middle school when Kyle and I found out he was dating Kyles cousin. We decided that the best plan was to absorb him into our friend group so that him and his girlfriend could hang out more under the excuse that he was coming over to hang out with us. As most middle school relationships go they inevitably broke up but Tyler just wouldn't leave us alone so I acquired a life long friend. I have the pleasure of being a godfather to his eldest son and wouldn't trade our friendship for anything.

Tyler Barnett

Being friends with Mitch has always felt normal even though he and I together are far from it. We first became friends in elementary school when we had a few classes together and we both brought a DS to school. We drifted apart after elementary school when Mitch borrowed (stole) one of my games. Later in high school he started to come around more when he began to spend time with his now wife Ashley who I've been friends with for a long time. After a few good laughs he actually found out he still had that game he "borrowed" and returned it to me after all those years. From weekend grilling to being in each others weddings I couldn't ask for an easier friendship than the one I have with Mitch.

Mitch Mallberg

Ed... We met through work when I noticed a familiar bumper sticker on his car and asked "who the hell is that guy?" Almost immediately we became friends and over time realized that's probably because we have so many odd interests in common. Whether it be quoting movies, watching the same shows, playing the same games, or sharing the same twisted sense of humor we always seem to understand each other. He's always had my back and I'll certainly always have his.

Ed Hanson 

The tallest of my nephews and the one who's a giant nerd like me. I'm told that Abel and I are similar in ways such as our love for superheroes, video games, and D&D. I have also been told that we're both pretty dramatic but I'm not sure I totally agree. Our day wouldn't be the same without him there.

Abel Root

The youngest of my nephews and the one who keeps it weird. Eli rocks crocs, Ramen sweaters, and pajama pants all while chilling out to watch anime. No matter what though he is always a kind little dude and I hope that continues while he's with us for our wedding day.

Elijah Root

Bob is the Grooms Uncle. He has had the privilege of watching Alexis and me grow together and if you know Bob you know that he is definitely a wild card. A big part of why we decided to give him a responsibility is because he is nothing but supportive of us but also we needed to keep him in check... 

Bob Miller

Bruce is the Brides Uncle. I asked him to be an usher to give him a job so he doesn’t object to the marriage of his niece. He has teased me my whole life and always knows what buttons to push (in a loving way). Now I’ve gotten smart and learned to ignore him.

Bruce Holden 

Miss Pyper, she is sweet and sassy. This girl knows how to put a smile on everyone’s face. She will always know us as uncle and auntie. 

Pyper Mallberg

Teddy is the bride’s brother. He is the silliest and most wild of the bunch. To Domonic he's just "Ted". I think I used to be his favorite, but now Domonic plays Minecraft with him so you can guess who the favorite is now... He keeps everyone entertained and on their toes for sure!
