Our Story

Photos

She’s been by the bride’s side through every life chapter — more sister than cousin. When she’s not chasing after the bride’s adorable Godson, Cassius, you’ll probably find her at Target (again), filling up her Amazon cart, or sipping on a well-earned Starbucks. Her heart? Easy — hand her a Chick-fil-A meal and watch her light up. She’s loyal, full of laughter, and a ride-or-die through and through.

Briana

Growing up, she and the bride were known as the fierce duo “Mac Attack” on the soccer field — a nickname earned through sibling-like bond and McAlister grit. Their roots run deep, their memories even deeper. Whether they were scoring goals or scheming up childhood mischief, she’s been there through it all. A true McAlister through and through, her bond with the bride is unshakable — built on years of laughter, shared secrets, and that unbreakable cousin-sister love.

Tiffiani was the bride’s very first friend when she moved to the Bay Area — and over 11 years later, their friendship is still going strong. From unforgettable memories to nonstop laughter, she’s been a steady presence and a trusted voice of reason (especially when it comes to fashion!). Always keeping the bride in check with her wardrobe and appearance, Tiffiani is that friend who tells you the truth, hypes you up, and never lets you leave the house looking anything less than flawless. Everyone needs a Tiffiani in their life — the bride’s just lucky enough to call her friend.

Look — it’s another cousin sister! Kendra and the bride are more than family; they’re true friends who literally talk every single day. Whether it’s life updates, laughs, or Facebook debates, she’s always just one phone call away. When she’s not cheering from the sidelines at her kid's games, she’s in full-on Kris Jenner mode — planning, prepping, and producing their next big moment like the proudest momager in town. Loyal, hilarious, and always present — Kendra is the definition of family, wrapped in love and good vibes.

Kendra

The bride’s younger sister; wait I mean the older sister! She’s had no choice but to be by the bride’s side all these years… and let’s be real, the bride wouldn’t have it any other way. From backyard tetherball battles to softball games and sibling rivalry; their journey has been full of laughs, love, and a lifetime of memories. She’s always been right there through it all.

Brittney

She’s the fiery half of the Tolefree twins — spicy, bold, and full of heart. With a big love and even bigger laugh, she’s always been the one to keep the bride entertained with her honesty and no-filter humor. Growing up alongside her older play brother (the groom!), she’s brought countless laughs. Loyal and genuine, she’s the kind of person who loves hard and laughs even harder.

Aleya

She’s the friend you call when you need a spontaneous Saturday brunch partner and someone to spill the tea on the latest Sephora must-haves. Always on the hunt for a luxury item on sale (and somehow always finding one), she’s the queen of the perfect splurge—but shhhhh, don’t tell her husband! A mother of two hilarious boys, her wit stays on point!

Lana

Though she’s soft-spoken, don’t let Gracie Pooh’s quiet nature fool you — she’s full of spirit and surprises! A true cowgirl at heart, she rocks her boots with pride and has a surprising passion for cars that lights up every room. The bride adores her little cousin, who brings a calm, cool vibe and a whole lot of love wherever she goes.
