Alex & Ryan
Wedding Party
Johanna
Maid of Honor
Johanna and I have been friends since first grade and we are also birthday twins! We have been through everything together, from Girl Scouts to college, traveling and everything in between. Spice Girls and our love for Disney are some of my favorite memories of growing up with her! She has been the biggest supporter in my journey, and of me FINALLY finding the man of my dreams!
Todd
Best Man
We met in the quad in college my sophomore year his freshman, I thought he was the biggest dork wearing those huge Jeanco jeans trying to skateboard... 21 years later, tons of countries traveled, all the heart the hearts, and more memories than I actually remember, he shares the honor with my little brother
Preston
Best Man
37 years he's been everything from a punching bag to my best friend... Wouldn't have made it as far in life without my little brother... We've bounced around mosh pits, dropped into huge mountain snow drifts, went to college together, climbed Machu Pichu, and have picked each other up every time we've fallen down, He means the world to me
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I have been friends since High School, which started with me being best friends with her brother. As time went on, we realized we were meant to be great friends- (sorry Michael!) Probably one of the most real and down to earth friend I have - but don't be fooled, she is willing to drinks beers, go on any adventure and tries to teach me how to keep my plants alive. :)
Keech
Groomsman
We met through his time working for Jagermeister and have since traveled all over the world from Cuba to London to Berlin!! What started as friends from across the bar has to turned into life long friends!
Norma
Bridesmaid
Normy is our honorary Tidewater babe - a group of girls I met working at Tidewater over ten years ago. Norma and I were always the weekend lunch shift, where we'd come in and share our crazy party stories from the night before. Low and behold - we are still living it up and meeting for brunch or happy hour along the coast. Don't forget to wear your hoops around this girl!
Elijaha
Groomsman
We met through work at Prohibition and I was instantly enthralled by his positivity and that infectious smile! He is someone who brings light and laughter into every room he enters and he's done that to our lives!
Shiloh
Junior Bridesmaid
Literally my girlfriend since the day she was born!! I was fortunate enough to help raise this amazing girl - I cannot believe what a smart and respectful girl she is becoming! We have had so many great times from me babysitting her weekly, sleepovers, manicures and pumpkin patches. I am honored to be her Auntie Alex.
Matt
Groomsman
We met when I first moved to SD 10 years go and was looking to find a personal trainer and over the years he went from trainer to chiropractor to one of my best friends and one of the most genuinely positive human beings I've ever met. Matt has brought nothing but positivity and laughter to my life and has constantly inspired me to be a better version of myself through our friendship
Christina
Bridesmaid
We met literally crossing the border to Mexico on a volunteer trip to save ALL the dogs. Her sweater caught my attention - 'Tacos & Tequila'. Thankfully we also sat next to each other on the bus ride down - and bonded over her now fur-child, Stella. Ryan and I helped rescue and foster her, and now we will forever be attached as family. She may live in NY - but thank goodness for social media - talk about a meme queen - this is your girl!
Jason
Groomsman
Through a mutual love of Punk Rock and live music Jason and I met while working in the North Park neighborhood of SD and instantly knew we were gonna be friends. Over the years and through more live shows than either of us can remember our friendship has only grown faster than the punk rock music we love!!
Nick
Bridesman
Nick is Alex's older brother, and unfortunately Alex always had to be called "Nick's little sister" in school. However, 'you can choose friends, but not family' - and now, they are the best of friends! (98% of the time). They have earned the nickname "Huerta Raptors" if anyone tries to get in their way. Don't worry - always good times with these two.
Nate
Groomsman
Nate was the first person to tattoo me 20 years ago, we talked about our love of snowboarding during that session and a trip to Tahoe came shortly after. After I nearly killed both of us driving in the snow we quickly bonded over everything from our love of music to tattoos to still being alive ha!! And here we are 20 years later...
Lukas
Bridesman
Lukas is Alex's little brother, who she loved to mentor. He shares the passion for travel with Alex, and she was lucky enough to join him on his Senior trip to Europe! Lukas is one of the most kind and respectful guys she has ever met and is so proud to be his older sister. Don't forget to ask him how many sangrias he had in Puerto Rico before tapping out. ;)
Brendan
Groomsman
Brendan is my oldest friend, we met the first day in college moving in and quickly bonded over video games, music, and schemed up opening businesses together. Later he gave me my first shot in the bar world and hired me for my first bar tending job, the rest is history!!
Maximillien
Officiant
The reason we are here! After watching the interaction of Alex and Ryan the night they met (Alex had quite a few cocktails - Ryan thought she was just being friendly), he encouraged Ryan to call Alex to find out her deal and what she's about. Of course Ryan 'misplaced' her business card, so thankfully he remembered her full name, found her on Facebook and listened to Maximillien - or we wouldn't be here today!
