Alyssa has been a part of my life since elementary school. This is all thanks to my aunt Brittany who introduced me to a person that will be in my life forever. I was like that annoying little sibling you couldn’t get rid of when you just wanted to hang out with your friends. Finally, they caved in and let me come over to Alyssa’s house. I remember the first time I ever entered that home; Brittany and Alyssa asked me to sing and I told them to hide and not look at me… none of us could stop laughing (I was not good at singing). Alyssa has always been a caring, thoughtful, intelligent, and beautiful human being. It’s wild to think she’s getting married now, it feels like just yesterday we were making music videos for YouTube in the backyard!

Alyssa has been my best friend since first grade, my sister. From playing Barbies and Littlest Pet Shop to becoming a bride. Alyssa is the most wonderful, supportive, and caring person I have ever met. I couldn't imagine my life without her. I'm beyond grateful to have her by my side for many years and many more to come. I love her endlessly.

I've known Alyssa for quite some time now, all the way back to freshman year at Osceola High School. We always have the best times together, but my favorite memories are when we have been most there for each other. From one direction fanatics to cheering you on in band, to graduating, you cheering me on being a mom and through both our wedding seasons. Alyssa is truly one of the sweetest people I know and I can't wait to stand by your side and watch your love bloom even more!
