Nina & Jordan
Wedding Party
Jill Gobbi
Matron of Honor
We've lived, we've laughed, we've loved... lol Nina met Jill from a mutual friend and dancing in the Filipino dance group while at college in Tallahassee, FL. Over the brief two years they lived there, they went from being sketchy acquaintances, to coworkers, to roommates, and now my longest and very best friend!
Missy Wader
Bridesmaid
From UTSA ROTC days, Missy helped teach me the ropes and shared nursing school struggles. She's always been someone I could count on and connect with no matter where the military or life in general takes us.
Ernest Alfred
Best Man
"Fatso" as he's affectionately known, is my older brother and the best man. You will never meet two people that couldn't be more different, but also so much alike. We have our own language that makes absolutely no sense to anyone else but us which consists almost entirely of ridiculous movie quotes. Since joining the military in 2005 we don't get to see each other very often. Whenever we're in the same room it is an absolute hysterical treat for the rest of the family to watch us transform into children complete with name calling and impersonations. As with any siblings, it goes without saying that we have been through a lot together.
Kodi Nelson
Groomsman
Kodi is my oldest brother. He is someone that I can talk to about pretty much anything for hours on end. I grew up with Kodi teaching me how to play certain sports and always pushing me to be better. We have a pretty wild and hilarious past as well but we have both grown up significantly over the years and he is now someone I can always count on
Jordan Alfred
Groom
For Nina's friends & family that I haven't had a chance to meet yet, I am Jordan! I am originally from a tiny island in BC Canada, you're probably wondering what I am doing in Texas right? Sept 11th happened as I was about to graduate high school (I just aged myself I know!) so I made the weird choice to move to the US to join the military. I joined the Air Force where I ended up in a medical administration position which I hated. I would eventually cross over into Special Forces as an Air Force CCT. Served 14 years before being medically retired which is how I came to meet Nina! Had I not needed to be seen at her hospital, we never would've met, so I think of it as the worst thing to ever happen to me, led me to the best thing that ever happened to me! Look forward to meeting you all
Nina Aquino
Bride
Hellooo new family & friends whom I haven’t met or had the opportunity to spend much time getting to know just yet. I’m a military kid (Air Force Dad) so I’ve moved around a decent bit growing up, then came college x2 many times, & my time on active duty Air Force. I have worked as a nurse for about 10 years, helping deliver babies. Other fun facts: I’m Filipino, I was in a few different dance groups in college, I have another degree in Psychology, & despite the fact I’m a big fan of working out-I am not as athletically blessed as Jord. He’ll probably tell you I’m the most clumsy, injury prone person of all time lol. Before this becomes long walks on the beach… let’s just say I’m SUPER excited to see all you wonderful ppl from different seasons of my life in one place!
