Wedding Party
Erin Brunansky
Maid of Honor
I'm so lucky to have my one and only little sister standing by my side as my maid of honor. She's incredibly funny, endlessly supportive, and knows exactly how to make me laugh—even in the middle of wedding chaos!
Alex Waltenbaugh
Best Man
My best man and best friend, Alex and I met in Montgomery, Alabama at the 926 Engineer Brigade Headquarters. I was newly assigned to the unit when Alex reached out to me to welcome me aboard, 2 minutes into our conversation we were talking deer hunting and making plans to chase whitetails before we deployed to the Middle East. A few years later and we're still doing the same thing like we just saw each other yesterday.
Lauren Mayberry
Bridesmaid
My oldest cousin Lauren is more than family—she’s been like a big sister to me for as long as I can remember. She’s the one I turn to for advice, constant support, and yes, even a well-organized 'action item' list when I need one. I’m so grateful to have her by my side as a bridesmaid.
Ben Bacon
Groomsman
The smartest and kindest man I've ever met, Ben is the meaning of a genuinely great guy. I met Ben in Montgomery, Alabama, he was the second person from the unit to call me and welcome me aboard. From the moment Ben and I met, we just clicked, he made me fell like an adopted little brother, don't challenge him to a workout, he's pretty much a beast. Don't try to outsmart him either, he also went to Harvard.
Kelly Engle
Bridesmaid
My older cousin and another big sister. She’s the one who picks up the phone no matter what, listens without judgment, and helps steer me in the right direction when I need it most. She’s one of the funniest people I know, and I’ve always loved inheriting her hand-me-down clothes just as much as her wisdom and kindness
Neil Stechschulte
Groomsman
My closest college friend, we met at the 760th Engineer Vertical Construction Company in 2014. Neil and I were cadets together through college, I had the honor of administering his oath as a commissioned officer into the Army in 2016. He is dedicated, dependable, and a true friend few are lucky enough to have.
Ciera MacIsaac
Bridesmaid
My younger cousin, again, more like younger sister. We bond over our shared love of animals—she cares for the carnivores, I’ve got the herbivores—and we somehow manage to be equally clumsy while doing it! Her fun spirit and big heart make me so grateful to have her as a bridesmaid
Adam Mark
Groomsman
The most loyal friend a guy could ask for. Adam and I met at the 760th Engineer Construction Company when Adam was a 2nd Lieutenant and I was a Private First Class. Little did we know we would be Captains together in the Middle East. He is like Ben, in the sense that the dude is a beast, but he is always up for a good practical joke or at least he acted like it every time I hid his chair when he wasn't looking.
Cassidy Kemper
Bridesmaid
My younger cousin, more like younger sister. Whether we’re having long, meaningful chats or hiking around the lake, she’s fully present and pours her whole heart into everything she does. Her love runs deep, and her competitive spirit keeps us all on our toes—in the best way
Kevin Carpenter
Groomsman
The real life Rudy, he has a heart of gold and a contagious fun loving spirit. I met Kevin at the 926 Engineer Brigade when we deployed to the Middle East. He quickly became like a brother and was always up for anything. I could always depend on Kevin to push me to be a better person.
Kayla Piorkowski
Bridesmaid
My best friend Kayla and I first met at Cal Lutheran University—she was on the track team, I was on the basketball team, and we lived right next door in the dorms. Our paths crossed again at Saint Brigid’s Young Adults Bible Study, and eventually we became roommates in Pacific Beach. She’s incredibly sweet, endlessly supportive, and I’m so lucky to have her as a bridesmaid by my side
Ryan Brunansky
Groomsman
Alexa’s older brother, this guy is always looking for a new adventure and a new challenge. Whether it’s spartan races or surfing big waves he’s never having a dull moment.
Faith & Journey Moor
Jr. Bridesmaids
These two lovely ladies are helping me continue a family tradition. I was in their mother's wedding and my mom was in Julie's mother's wedding. In combination with the love they have for God and for each other, it is so incredibly exciting to have them join me up by the alter.
Jason Brunansky
Groomsman
Alexa’s oldest brother and a true guardian. Jason is fun, caring, and a giant teddy bear. If he’s not working to help others he’s helping coach kids baseball. I can always count on him for a pick me up.
Midori & Olive Waycaster
Jr. Bridesmaid
I am so lucky to have two of Isaiah's nieces also join the clan of loving and supportive women I have standing beside me.
Zack Rogers
Groomsman
My fearless big brother, growing up with a big brother is one thing but growing up with one that does BMX is another one. He has a huge heart and is always working hard to make a life for his family. A true role model.
Jeremiah Puckett
Groomsman
My little ride or die, my little brother. Jeremiah was always by my side growing up. He is caring, smart, and ready for a good time.
