Our Wedding

How we met! 

We met unexpectedly going out to the same bar with our friends. It was in Watertown. He asked me to dance & I said no the 1st time but he wasn’t giving up & from then on we hit it off & have been inseparable ever since. He is my best friend, partner, & soulmate in one. ♥️ We both weren’t looking for someone new but fate brought us together!!!

This is my best friend of 7 years, our kids have grown up together. We met working at the Casino! She has been there for me through thick & thin! She’s very blunt & tells it how it is & always gives advice even when I don’t want to hear it. ♥️ I couldn’t imagine doing all of this without her by my side! 

Shawna Bender 

Very good friend! We met working at the Daycare, our kids became friends. We always have a good time getting them all together for birthdays, cook outs, & beach days. ♥️

Alley Thomas

We met in the Military 4 years ago. At first Tanner was an NCO that was just looking out for one of his soldiers then we became friends. He’s been there for me through hard times whenever i needed him & when i didn’t. I’m definitely going to need his support and drive in order to make through the day without letting my emotions get the best of me.

Tanner Adams 

We met when i first came into the unit and we have been friends ever since. Ramon is a special kind of friend that knows how to make you laugh in some of the most serious situations. He is the type of friend that tells you how it is even if he knows you don’t want to hear it then helps you figure it out. I’m going to need him up there to keep me laughing even though I will be nervous as everything.

Ramon Salcedo 

My younger brother, he’s always been a pain in my butt. He HATES dressing up but he can’t wait for the big day! Be ready for some fun with this guy. 😁

Kendall House 

This is my former neighbor/ family friend. I’ve known him since I was a little girl so basically my whole life! Him & his Wife Elvia have done a huge part to our Wedding & other life events growing up & I couldn’t be more grateful & blessed for that & also the fact that he’ll be standing by Nathen’s side supporting him. 😁

John Cherniak 

My soon to be sister-in-law! She is so fun to be around & I’m excited to finally get a sister. I am so blessed to have a sister like you. You have always been there no matter what the situation was. You are always understanding and caring. I know that I can always count on you no matter what happens. A true role model for all the sisters in the world. I have been so blessed that god gave me you as a sister. We are so excited to have you on our side on this wonderful journey and apart of our big day. We love you 🥰 

Ashley Wyer 

Nathen’s friend in the Military! He’s very excited to attend our Wedding & also bring his girlfriend to celebrate our forever! Over the past year i have come to know Jawad and seen qualities that make a true friend. He is always there for someone to talk to and is very understanding. He doesn’t look at someone and see what is there he looks at them and sees what they can be. It is a honor to have him as a friend/family. When thinking about who i would want to stand by my side during this unforgettable moment in my life i knew that he was the one who would help me on this day. We are so grateful for him and his presence on our special day. Thank you brother
