Erin met Alyssa in college when they were lab partners for Chem 108. One day between classes Alyssa invited Erin over to her apartment to have pizza rolls for lunch and they have been besties ever since! Since then they have been travel buddies, concert buddies, and craft buddies. Number one contact for all of my crafting shenanigans. DIY or DIE!! No excuse to get together has ever been to small. She's seen Alyssa at her worst, she's seen her at her best, and she still chooses to love her through it all!

Andy meet Brett way back in 2003 working at Pete's County Market in Alexandria where they grew up. Brett has been stuck with Andy through all of their major life events. They have had many hobbies together over the years which have evolved from video games and working on subwoofers to snowmobiling and fishing up in the mountains on camping trips. Couldn't have our big day without him by Andy's side!

Oh Josie! Alyssa met Josie through Erin while attending college at SDSU. Josie was in the Agronomy program and had interned with Erin so we all ended up sitting together in some classes. Our senior year we took Microbio together and Alyssa could not have made it without her! Now they both work for Bayer Crop Science and love being able to call some of their get togethers a "work function".

Brian is the wild card of the group, and you never quite know what shenanigans he is going to get everyone into. He met Andy after high school in about 2006 when he started working with him at County Market. Always down for a new adventure, be it checking out a new brewery or finding their way to the top of the mountain!

Lindsey and Alyssa met for the first time at SDSU in a freshman seminar class, they chatted and were friendly but never hung out outside of class. Then one day after a SI session Erin offered Alyssa a ride to her car since her roommate was picking her up. None other then our little Lindsey pulled up and the 3 of them have been inseparable ever since! Vietnam, Iceland, Vegas, countless concerts, and our yearly Winstock trips....the good times are endless!

Adam and Andy met while working at John Deere in 2014. One day they got put on the same jig and started talking about snowmobiles. They bonded over their brand new 2014 sleds, and the rest is history. They have spend countless hours hunting, camping, hiking, and driving to the mountains to snowmobile! Always looking forward to the next yearly Medina grouse hunt!

MFBE!!! While that means nothing to everyone but Rachel and Alyssa, its a little inside joke going back to their high school days! The two spent the better half of Alyssa's senior year of HS (Rachel's junior year) writing good old fashioned notes back and forth and leaving them in each others lockers! They became friends and really started to spend time together once Alyssa got her license and could give Rachel a ride for Volleyball. Since then they have always been in each others lives and even though they don't see each other every day like they used to, when they do get together its like no time passed at all!

Cory is Andy's go to buddy for grabbing a beer with after work! Now days Alyssa and Cory's wife, Abbi, like to crash their guy time! They also share a love of smoking up a rack of ribs, even thou Cory has yet to win the cook-off. Andy met Cory through work at John Deere.

Sweet little Blair Bear has "Auntie Itsy" wrapped around her finger! Sweet, spunky, adorable, and full of sass!! While she may have no idea who "Alyssa" she sure does love when Itsy comes to visit!

Westlynn is the daughter of groomsman Adam Cole! Adam and Krystal gave Andy the honor of being her godparent when she was born and she's been a part of his life ever since! She's a tiny little ball of sass and attitude, always keeping mom and dad on their toes!

Henny!! He is his mom and dads little hockey stud! But we can't forget about his love for golf too! He stole Alyssa's heart many times but when he was little and would cheer for himself after we told him to "tee it up" and he would hit the ball just made Alyssa melt. Now he loves to show Andrew all his shoot guns (Nerf) anytime we go visit!

Little Westy is the chatterbox of the pair! Inquisitive and never afraid to tell you what he thinks! Andrew always gets to become a personal jungle gym with Weston around! When we asked him to be a ring bearer he agreed, then quickly said "Does this mean I get to go look for bears??"

Alex is an extremely bubbly smiley guy. He also gives THE BEST hugs! What better guy to great everyone on our big day!!

What a gentle giant! Growing Adam and Andy were only about 3 miles away from each other, however, they didn't meet until college when they all started to hangout together. Just think of all the trouble they could have gotten into back in the day if they met sooner.

Jorden is Alyssa's younger cousin (by a whole month and 1 day!) who was more like a sister while they were growing up. Always getting the big brothers into trouble was our favorite past time and we excelled at it. Alyssa would not be who she is today without Jorden as they have been through so much together, including being roommates at SDSU!

Soon to be Michelle Ybarra! Her wedding is only 2 weeks before Andrew and Alyssa's big day! She is one of the kindest hearted and sweetest people you will ever meet. After her HS graduation she moved to Sioux Falls to attend USF and the Dickmeyer clan has loved having her so close and getting to spend more time together because of it!

Alyssa has always been the worlds biggest sucker when it comes to Katy. While on vacation in Park Rapids when she was little the 2 went shopping along with cousin Sarah and the 2 of them got Alyssa to spend well over $200 on candy, books, and sunglasses....All for them of course! Katy has since grown up and now is to cool for her weird cousin Itsy, but she always plays nice and suffers through Alyssa's hugs!
