Allison & Jonathan

Trees

Wedding Party

Heather Sarkela

Maid of Honor

Although Heather and Allison have only known each other for a few years, she has already made a meaningful impact on her life. She’s the wife of Johnathan’s best man/best friend/boss, and I love spending time with her whenever I get the chance. She’s easy to talk to and always brings plenty of laughter and smiles.


Matthew (Matt) Sarkela

Best Man

Matt and Jonathan have been best friends for more than 20 years. They share a love of mountain biking, DJing, loud music, cars, and speakers. What Jonathan values most about their friendship is its strength—no matter the distance, they always stayed in regular contact. Jonathan and Matt love each other like brothers.

Clarissa Aroujo

Bridesmaid

Clarissa and Allison go way back. They met at work over a decade ago and ended up on the same team, where they quickly became great friends. Allison has never met anyone more down-to-earth or true to herself. They've traveled together and shared countless laughs along the way.


Susan Lowerre

Bridesmaid

Susan and Allison have known each other for 15 years, and over that time they've become great friends. They are each other's scary-movie buddies and their go-to travel partners. Susan is kindhearted and truly one of the nicest people Allison knows.

Matthew (Matt) Alston

Officiant

Matt Alston, one of Allison’s older brothers, has a heart as big as the world. He’s kind, caring, endlessly creative, and always knows how to make everyone laugh.


Michael (Mike) Alston

Man of Honor

Mike Alston, one of Allison’s older brother, brings caring, humor, creativity, and energy wherever he goes. Soon, he’ll have the joy of walking Allison down the aisle and delivering a toast that everyone will remember.

Olympia Alston

Flower Girl

Olympia Alston, Allison’s niece and daughter of Matt Alston and Kea Krause, is full of giggles, curiosity, and charm. She takes after both of her parents, blending intelligence and creativity in the most wonderful ways.


Kainoa Barber

Ring Bearer

Kainoa Barber, son of Jonathan Barber, is bursting with fun, curiosity, and creativity. Smart, kind, and loving, he’s a true joy to everyone around him.
