Whitney & Alvin
Wedding Party
Kara Porterfield
Matron of Honor
Kara is like a sister to Whitney. They met at Oregon State their freshman year and have been best friends through adulthood. They enjoy coffee dates, pedicures, trips to Bend, and face timing! Life is easier with a best friend to support you. Whitney relies on her for all the big stuff and frequently the little stuff, often face timing Kara for her opinion on which outfit to buy at Nordstrom!
Bob McElfish
Best Man
Alvin and Bob were teammates on their Middle School Basketball team and during their Rec League days in High school. They have been good friends ever since. Bob and his family essentially adopted Alvin as one of their sons because Alvin would spend dinners and evenings at his place. They were roommates in college and after Alvin graduated Chiropractic School.
Ashley Utter
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Whitney's cousin. Coming from a close family they spent time together on holidays and big events. They became close friends at Oregon State, both studying nutrition, living together one summer, and graduating together. Through the ups and downs, they are there for each other and say that family are stuck together for life!
Allan Bautista
Groomsman
Allan is the Alvin's younger brother. Allan has always been slender in comparison to Alvin. Allan always jokes that Alvin used to steal his food when they were growing up. There might be some truth to it.
CJ Braccialini
Bridesmaid
Cj and Whitney met at Tualatin High School. They spent time in high school driving around, staying up too late, and talking all the time! They lost touch for a bit when Whitney moved for college, but picked up right where they left off when Whitney moved back and was searching for hairstylist. Whitney may admit to getting a haircut just to have time to talk with Cj!
Dino Bautista
Groomsman
Dino is Alvin's closest cousin. Their birthdays are only ten days apart. Growing up in the Manila, they would always play together along with their other cousins. They would ride bikes together weaving in and out of traffic along the busy streets of Manila and play games until dark. There were a couple of minor bumps and bruises from playing recklessly. Anytime Alvin visits the Philippines, Dino always the first to change his schedule and make time for him.
