I’m Rachael, Alexis’s twin sister and Maid of Honor. I live in Buffalo and have two boys ages 8 and 5 that keep me very busy. I am so excited for this wedding! I have watched this romance blossom from the incredible first date (which lasted 8 hours) to the amazing family that they have created! James and Alexis are such a perfect couple, and I love their humor and patience with each other. They fit together like two perfect puzzle pieces-with a Charlotte in the middle. This wedding will be such a wonderful day to celebrate the love that these two share with their friends and family. I can’t wait to see you all there!

"Hi everyone! I'm Danny, and I have the honor of officiating this incredible wedding! I've known James and his family for as long as I can remember, and they've always made me feel like one of their own. James and I have shared so many adventures over the years—from hitting chestnuts in the backyard and blowing things up to exploring bamboo forests and spending endless hours playing with Legos (while negotiating free extra parts direct from the manufacturer) and playing the classic Nintendo game "Jaws." We even roomed together in the dorms when they first opened at MCC and later lived in two "Legendary" party houses on Culver Road and Field Street. Even though life has become a bit more demanding, James and I have remained close friends. When he met Alexis, I could tell right away that it was true love. He was so excited to be a part of her life! Though I haven't had near enough time with Alexis, I know that she is perfect for James and that their union is a match made in heaven - just look at the beautiful family they've built together! Charlotte is such a little sweetheart, and I can't wait to watch her grow up and share all the wild stories of her dad's younger days! 😊"

Hey everyone, I’m Chris, James’s brother and best man. We grew up in Sodus, and some of my favorite memories involve us playing Nintendo and knocking chestnuts down the bank. Those were the good old days. James has always looked at the world a little differently than the rest of us. He's got this weird mix of being super laid-back but also incredibly driven when he sets his mind to something. It's like he's got art-tinted glasses on all the time or something. One minute he's chilling, sketching random stuff, and the next he's knee-deep in paint, bringing some huge mural to life. Honestly, seeing him get completely wrapped up in his art has been one of the coolest things about growing up with him. His finished works are always so detailed and impressive. Meeting Alexis has been fantastic. They’re such a great match and always seem to be having a blast together. It’s clear how much they care about each other, and I couldn’t be happier to see them take this next step. So, here’s to James and Alexis! Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, happiness, and plenty of adventures. Congrats, you two!
