Cousins by chance, Sisters by choice! Corinne and Alyssa have been by each other’s side since birth—just nine months apart. Their grandmothers were twin sisters who did everything together, and their mothers are cousins and best friends who still do everything together. Corinne and Alyssa have proudly carried on the family tradition of being inseparable best friends (once they sorted out their childhood differences—ask Corinne about the time she tried to drown Alyssa!). While technically second cousins, their closeness and love for one another can only be described as that of true sisters. They have been together through every milestone of life, Corinne is the one who brings peace, perspective, and a sense of calm to Alyssa's life. Alyssa feels strongly that Corinne is her sister in every aspect of the word, and there is no one else she would rather have standing by her side on her wedding day!

Big bro. Max has set the example for Spencer all the way back to when he would show him how to get the easter eggs in Call of Duty. He was the diplomat of the Kirin brothers growing up, always settling disputes between Wes and Spencer. He was also a serious threat in the low post in the driveway basketball games of 50. Some of Spencer's greatest memories are the times he and Max shared the football field in high school. There's nothing quite like driving to Oscar's Alehouse after a 35-0 win over Winter's Mill listening to Hotline Bling. When Spencer had to make his college decision, joining his older brother at Muhlenberg was a no-brainer. It was the best decision of his life, and the 3 years they shared there on and off the field are some of the best of his life. Spencer wouldn't be the man he is today without the guidance and brotherhood from Max throughout his life. There is not a better big brother on the planet.

When Alyssa first met Grace, she had a feeling they’d become fast friends—and she was right. Grace is incredibly caring, effortlessly witty, and has a way of lighting up every room she walks into. She’s the kind of friend who shows up, holds space, and makes everything more fun. Alyssa was introduced to Grace through Spencer, as Grace is Wes’ girlfriend and one of the three founding members of Kirin Anonymous. From the start, the two of them discovered a shared talent for driving the Kirin brothers crazy—whether it’s yelling during their backswing, teaming up to win an argument, or completely dominating them at Pong. Alyssa is beyond grateful for Grace’s friendship and couldn’t imagine this day without her. She’s looking forward to a lifetime of friendship, laughter, and continuing to annoy Spencer and Wes—together.

Little bro. Many people in the Carroll County area will know Wes from his legendary walk-off single in the 2014 Sykseville recreational baseball playoffs. Now, you can catch him with Spencer on any given weekday at Delia Foley's Pub drinking Guinness and complaining about how bad they are at sports betting. Wes is the type of person that can make any situation a good time, whether he is tailgating a Ravens game or just working the register at Frank's Pizza. Those who are lucky enough to know him well are a better people because of it. Spencer always has been and always will be extremely proud of his younger brother and will brag about him to anyone who will listen, just ask his college roommates. The bond they share is one that few people are lucky enough to have with another person. One of Spencer's biggest blessings in life is having a Wes as his younger brother.

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart." Amber has been Alyssa’s best friend since high school—since sophomore year in Mrs. DeVincent’s dance class, to be exact. They became instant friends, and were always each other’s safe space—navigating the ups and downs of high school relationships, sharing endless sleepovers and late-night talks, and filling every room (and car ride) with laughter, dance routines, and Hannah Montana sing-alongs. For college, they chose different paths at separate SEC schools and have lived many states apart ever since. But despite the miles between them, their friendship never faded. They've always been there for one another—through life’s highs, heartbreaks, milestones, and everything in between. And no matter how long it’s been, every time they reunite, it feels like no time has passed at all. As the seasons of life continue to change, one thing has remained constant—their unshakable bond. And because of that, asking Amber to be a bridesmaid was one of the easiest decisions for Alyssa to make.

Spencer first met Tyler in the Spring of 2021. Tyler was enjoying his senior year of high school and was definitely not throwing any parties or anything. Spencer has enjoyed the time he has got to spend hanging out with Tyler through the years. Whether it was on the golf course, at an SEC game, or at the Christmas tree farm waiting outside the gift shop. Spencer is looking forward to all of the times they will continue to spend together. He hopes to be able to convince Tyler to drop the seltzers and pick up the beers. One thing Spencer could tell early on is what a great relationship Tyler had with his sister. Always having her back just like she has his. Nobody can ever say that Tyler doesn't care about his family. Spencer is looking forward to being able to call Tyler his brother.

Carly is Alyssa's beautiful future sister-in-law and one of the three founding members of Kirin Anonymous—soon to be known as the Kirin Wives Club. It is an exclusive group created by Carly, Grace, and Alyssa, whose core principles include sisterhood, support, and a shared understanding of the Kirin men they love. The Kirin brothers have great taste in women. Carly is smart, dedicated, strong-willed, and determined—future family doctor incoming! Alyssa is so lucky to be gaining Carly as a bonus sister and lifelong friend, and she couldn’t be more excited to have her by her side as a bridesmaid on such a meaningful day.

Ty and Spencer go back to his freshman year at Muhlenberg College when he was Ty's host on his overnight visit. A lot of people say Spencer taught Ty everything he knows, and they would be right. They have remained close since their days in Allentown and even coach football together for the Liberty High School Lions. Ty is a true friend through and through. The type of guy who will be there whenever you need him but also will call you out on your bullshit. He has always been extremely supportive of Alyssa and Spencer's relationship and even played an extremely vital role in the surprise proposal. Spencer is blessed to have a friend like Ty for life.

"All that I am and all that I will be, I owe to you." Jeff and Sharon are Alyssa’s parents, biggest supporters, and #1 fans. They have been married for 28 years, and are a beautiful example of commitment, partnership, and unconditional love. Their marriage has not only provided Alyssa with a loving and stable foundation, but also shown her what it means to truly choose each other everyday. Through their example, Alyssa has learned the value of patience, laughter, and standing by the people you love through every season of life. Alyssa is endlessly grateful to have been raised by two people who support her so fiercely. Their love and support have meant the world to Alyssa and Spencer. Jeff and Sharon have always put building their family and raising their children at the forefront of everything they do and Alyssa and Spencer feel honored to have her parents by their side as they take the first step in building a family of their own.

Garrett and Sharon Kirin were and still are excellent parents to Spencer and his brothers. Just make sure they aren't in the same room when the Eagles play the Steelers. Spencer learned so much from each of them, and wouldn't be the man he is today without both of their wisdom and guidance. He will always look forward to the burger and beer nights he shares with his father and randomly learning stories about his life that are so crazy they seem made up. The 'middle child' connection he shares with his mother is a unique and special one that he is blessed to always have. Spencer will never be able to truly thank them for all of the lessons they have taught and continue to teach him throughout the years. From the second they met Alyssa, they knew immediately she was perfect for Spencer, both telling him so right away. Alyssa and Spencer are both very grateful to have them be a part of their wedding day and future life together.

The beautiful voice you will hear during Alyssa and Spencer's first dance on their wedding night is that of Maxwell Allison-Dundon. One of Spencer's college roommates and closest friends, he is a man of many talents - musician, scholar, athlete, lawyer, and more. Just don't let him have too many tequila shots or he turns into Herb Brooks. Max has been there for Alyssa and Spencer's relationship since the beginning. He was the first friend Alyssa made when she first visited Muhlenberg, and knowing how much it meant to Spencer, he went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and had a good time. Max is a very important person to both Spencer and Alyssa and they could not be more thrilled to have him be a part of such a meaningful moment in their lives.
