Congratulations, Alysa & Grant!

Alysa Martyn Spicer and Philip Grant Wilkerson were united in matrimony on March 29th at Don Pedro’s Palapa in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico. The bride is the daughter of Jennifer and Peter Spicer of Martin, Georgia. Her groom is the son of Patti and Dwight Tawney of Leawood, Kansas, and the late William Ralph “Bill” Wilkerson. The evening prior, Patti and Dwight Tawney hosted a lovely rehearsal dinner for their son and future daughter-in-law at La Rustica. Immediately following the ceremony, the bride’s parents toasted their daughter and new son-in-law at a festive reception. The newlyweds reside in Boulder, Colorado. Alysa is a special education resource teacher with the Boulder Valley School District, and Grant is in project management with Surna.
