Jessica Duden
Jessica is my older sister and has always been best friend. As we grew up, I could always look to her for advice and for the longest time I wanted to be just like her. There really aren't words to describe the bond between my sister and I. Just recently she got married and I know going forward I can continue to look towards her as I grow in my own marriage. I can not think of a more special person to have as my Matron of Honor.
Paige Gaul
Paige and I met as dance major our freshman year of college. We grew closer as we took virtually all of the same classes. I was heart broken when that was not the case anymore, but our friendship continued to grow. Paige was probably one of the first people to know how I was falling for Michael and she has been nothing but the kind of friend one could only dream of. No matter the time of day, if I need to talk, she is always there. I am lucky to have her beside me on my wedding day.
Kelly Azinge
Kelly has been the person keeping me sane in flight school. We met when we first got to Fort Rucker and have grown closer every day. Kelly is one of the kindest people I know and I wouldn't be a pilot without her! She keeps me laughing on the hard days and I can always count on her when I need a workout partner, study buddy, or friend to go shopping with. I am so excited to have her standing next to me on my wedding day.
Kailey Moen
Kailey is the cousin who was a few years older than me and I always looked up to her. Our lives have taken us far from Colorado when I used to spend every summer at her house growing up, but when we get the opportunity to catch up it is like no time has passed. I have always admired Kailey's work ethic and the way she has built her life around faith and her family. She is a role model to me and I can't wait to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Jessica Burns
Jessica and I became friends overnight. Literally. We also met in training at Fort Rucker. Since then she has welcomed me into her life. As a mom of two beautiful girls, she has taught me so much about the Army and life in general. Whenever I am looking for some excitement, I turn to Jess. She keeps me motivated and always know the right thing to say. I am so excited to have her next to me on my wedding day.
Adrian Alvarez
Adrian is my eldest brother, greatest mentor, and has always been there for me throughout life. Constant reassurance, lessons in humbleness, and the drive to always improve are some of the things I'll eternally be grateful for. I can't think of anyone who'd be a better option as my best man.
Mark Alvarez
Mark is my second eldest brother and we share a lifetime of memories playing the sport we love. Golf. It's thanks to my brother, that I have the competitive drive that I have today. Thanks to my brother, I'm reminded that it's okay to have fun and enjoy the little things in life.
Caleb Berlinger
Caleb is Sara's youngest sibling and also one of the coolest people I know. He's the best brother-in-law I could ever ask for and fully support him in his endeavors. It's always a good time when Caleb is around.
Carlo Octoman
When I met Carlo for the first time, I knew we'd be friends right away. The military has it's ways of giving you lifelong friends that bring out the best in you. To put simply, Carlo is now family.
Hunter Victorio
Hunter is my youngest cousin and the brightest young man I know. His potential is limitless. Overall, Hunter is the "cool" kid in the family and the first person I'll call to grab food at our local eateries.
