Hi! I’m Kelly, the maid of honor, and one of Alyssa’s bestfriend. I have known Alyssa since (roughly) 2013 and Andrew since 2018. My favorite thing about the both of them is their hearts and how they are a match made in Heaven, literally. God made them for each other and they embrace and radiate the love they have for Him. I like to consider myself a simple woman who loves nature and the little things in life. I find enjoyment in the way the clouds glide along the sky and the science of how everything works. Therefore, I love random facts, specifically about animals. Did you know that Woodpeckers will split their tongue in two and wrap it around their brain for extra protection against the force when pecking? Crazy right! Besides my love for nature I love to travel, spend time with my loved ones, and cuddle my animals. I am so excited to be apart of this special day and to meet more people that are important to my closest friends!

Hi! I’m Jamie, Alyssa’s cousin 💖 I’m 32, a hairstylist, and a mom to a cute & wild toddler! I remember when I was 10, I was holding Alyssa as a newborn, & I had asked my Aunt Sandi if I could put makeup on her like she was my very own baby doll 😂. She & I have always been 2 peas in a pod, I feel blessed to have a bestfriend as my cousin! I met Andrew through Alyssa of course, and I couldn’t imagine a better man for her. He truly is so great & I love their love 🥹

My name is Marlene! I’m a full-time student and a waitress. I’m studying Occupational Safety at PNW and will be graduating in the Fall of 2024. I’ve been active in dance and colorguard for 18 years combined, and have been a colorguard director for 3 years. After graduating college I hope to advance my career in colorguard/dance, in addition to occupational safety. Alyssa and I met when we were itty bitty. She was my first ever friend and we’ve had so much fun together over the years! One of my favorite memories together was how we always insisted to “double buckle” in the front seat on snack runs!

Hi, my name is Josslyn, but some know me as Alyssa’s mini-me. I like hair, makeup, softball and arts/crafts. The first time I met Ms. Alyssa was whenever my mom needed a babysitter during the pandemic. Luckily my mom worked with Ms. Alyssa, during that same time Ms. Sandi was looking for another family to babysit.(you could probably see where I’m going with this, it’s like a match made in heaven.) When I met Ms. Alyssa that same day I knew this was going to be a long, fun ride. Once we got to know them a little better, Ms. Alyssa invited me to her youth group, where she was a leader there. I grew to love the youth group and all of the people there. I always felt comfortable to go to her with anything especially current fashion because my mom doesn’t keep up with the new trends. I feel like she just gets me. She’s like the big sister I never had. She is also a Swiftie too! I love that Mr. Andrew makes Ms. Alyssa smile and that they are so comfortable around each other like no one else is around.

Hey, I’m Ryder and I am super excited to be Andrew’s Best Man. I currently work as an electrician for the Local 531, which doesn’t give me too much free time. When I do get some free time, I like to hike, ride my motorcycle, and hang out with my friends and my cat, Momo. I met Andrew in 3rd grade while we were in the same class, but we got really close our senior year. From Dunkin’ runs to game nights, Andrew and I have always had a blast (even when I have to 3rd wheel). But I am so excited to celebrate with them soon!

Howdy, I’m Jake and I have been best friends with Andrew since we can both remember, so I can’t wait to be part of his wedding. For work, I am an operator that scoops the dirt and throws the dirt…. Then scoops the dirt and throws the dirt…. Just kidding! I deal with dry fertilizer filling farmers’ trucks with different types of fertilizers to suit their needs. I also do the maintenance to anything and everything on site. I have a lot of hobbies but my favorite is to go to the Badlands in Attica and the mud bogs. I honestly just love anything outdoors (hunting, fishing, etc). I would like to mention my little sister Rebecca. Her, Andrew and I have been best friends since birth and we share so many memories. Not to go into too many details… but one involved a nerf gun, a deep freezer, and Rebecca’s two front teeth! My favorite memories with Andrew are limitless, but Rebecca having her two front teeth at the top of her Christmas list is definitely my favorite. I always just remember Andrew always making me laugh and smile because he has been a brother to me. I don’t have time to mention all the stories because I don’t think Alyssa wants to hear about the number of times we would race and see how fast our cars could go on backroads doing 140…. Oops I meant to delete that! Oh well… I really love them and thank you Alyssa for making my brother the happiest man alive. I have never seen him this happy and excited to see or talk about anyone. Love you brother!

My name is Noah Smith and I have known Andrew since we were children. Last October I got married to my beautiful wife Emily. I am the co-owner of Freedom Pressure Washing LLC, and work side by side with our mutual friend and my business partner Johnny Lazorik. I enjoy hunting, fishing, and spending time with my wife and our basset hound puppy Ruby. I remember Andrew being around ever since elementary school but I got to know him playing little league together the summer before freshman year of high school. Andrew was our best hitter on the team! Over the years we got to become very good friends, and no matter what happened we always remained close. My favorite thing about Andrew is his love for Christ. Not many men our age put Christ at the center of their lives and relationships, and Andrew and Alyssa have a deep passion for making sure Christ always remains center stage in their hearts, minds, and relationships. When Andrew and Alyssa were remodeling their future home, which is right around the corner from mine, they asked my wife and I to come over and write scripture verses on the walls before they were to be painted, this is my favorite memory of all of us together. There is something special about sharing the gospels and scripture with each other. It opens minds and hearts to commune with one another in a meaningful way.

My name is Johnny and I’m an entrepreneur. I am part owner of Freedom Pressure Washing LLC with Noah Smith. My main hobbies are fishing, gaming with the boys, soccer, and cooking. I have a dog named Finn who is 11 now. He’s part boxer/ rhodesian ridgeback. I also have a bearded dragon named Raptor who is 12 years old. I met Andrew in 8th grade but we didn’t get close till Freshman year when we had 1st hour together in Mr. Cochrans art class, where we played head soccer and tank trouble together on our Chromebooks. One of my favorite memories of Andrew is when we were juniors in high school and we constantly stayed up playing Fortnite till 3 am then had to wake up for school the next day. One day in particular we had a big exam in Mrs. Dixons accounting class and we were definitely not prepared. Anyway long story short Andrew got a 64% and I got a 26% on the exam. I’ve never seen him laugh so hard before. Next period was also with Mrs. Dixon for personal finance. In personal finance, I kept up the bit and proceeded to punch my keyboard lightly and mutter damn…26%… For some odd reason Andrew thought this was the funniest thing in the world. It so bad that Andrew got kicked out of class for the rest of the period for laughing too hard! Again it was the most I’ve ever seen the guy laugh. That 26% was definitely worth the laughs. Favorite memory with the Andrew and Alyssa is probably when they always voted me out on Among Us for being a Sussy Baka or getting sturdy in electrical.
