Alyssa + Javen
May 30, 2026
“I had the greatest experience at House of White. I was very unsure about what I was really looking for and Caroline made it such a breeze. It was like shopping with a friend. She somehow pulled the most perfect dress for me the very first pick.” - Alyssa
Gown & Straps: D4158 by Essense of Australia
ABOUT THE COUPLE
“Javen Wendler. We met online and I moved from Louisiana to Illinois. We were together for a little over 3 years when we took a trip to Washington state with my parents and he proposed in the beautiful Ohme Gardens in Wenatchee.”
