Organizing a wedding can be stressful, especially when you’re choosing bridesmaids and groomsmen, but one woman had the perfect solution to deciding.
Fifth grade teacher Alexandra Stamps didn’t hesitate to ask her students to be her bridesmaids and groomsmen on her special day.
The Science and Technology Elementary School teacher from Wichita, Kansas, married fiancé Mason McDowell in July, after nearly a year of dating.
Mason, who is a third-grade teacher, also wanted his students involved in their big day.
Not only did the couple invite their students to their wedding, but they also asked them to be their bridesmaids and groomsmen.
“I love them, and they’re part of my life. I want them to be up there with me because they’re my biggest fans,” Alexandra told the Wichita Eagle.
Alexandra recorded the moment she asked her students and shared it on TikTok, where it quickly went viral with over 19 million views.
Alexandra begins the video by saying, “I’m about to ask my students to be part of my wedding.
It then shows her in her classroom as she tells her students, “Okay, so I have a really important question to ask you guys.
“Khloe, Mary, Reagan, Angelina, Esmeralda, Lucy, Lily, Bella, Harley—will you guys be my junior bridesmaids at my wedding?” she asks, to which the girls respond, “Yes!”
“Bryland, Max, Eric, Emilio, Kayden, Will, Conner, Jessie, Jose, and Sebastian, will you guys be my junior groomsmen?” She then asks, to which the boys immediately reply, “Yes!”
Alexandra said their students were so excited to be asked, and about six or seven of them started crying.
