Cristina & Alec
Wedding Party
Gaby Uribe
Co-Maid of Honor
Gaby and Cristina met May 11, 1999 when Gaby was born, thus taking all of the attention away from Cristina for the foreseeable future, much to Cristina's 3 year old chagrin. After taking a few years to get over it, the two are best friends both by blood and by choice, even when separated by thousand of miles as she gets her education in California.
Crosby Muth
Co-Maid of Honor
Friends since joining the same soccer team in 4th grade, these two have been inseparable. They have been teammates, co-captains, band mates, study buddies, college roommates, best friends, and each other's biggest supporter. Should this marriage not have happened, Crosby was the clear choice for Cristina's spouse, but that will have to wait. On Wisconsin!
Emily Ducey-Gallina
Bridesmaid
Like many friendships, Emily and Cristina's thrived by suffering together. From the struggles of playing a double reed instrument, to countless hours in the coffee shop working on physics homework, to coordinating weekends to see each other in Indiana or Wisconsin these two truly survive and THRIVE in the chaos-- a trend that will surely continue into both of their marriages and will only make their friendship stronger.
Megan Bogolia
Bridesmaid
One of Cristina's oldest friendships, these two have run around different friend groups, different colleges, and different career paths, but always seem to find their way back to each other for a glass of wine and endless baked goods. A fellow fairy squad mother at heart, no one can support, organize, and spreadsheet quite like Megan; a true blessing for Cristina as she prepares for the future.
Lauren Genovese
Bridesmaid
A long-time friend of Alec's, Lauren and Cristina became fast friends shortly after Cristina and Alec started dating. Almost as committed to Cristina and Alec's relationship as they are, she climbed 5 hours up a mountain in order to be there when Alec proposed. Does she regret it? Probably. But Alec and Cristina are grateful nonetheless. They will wait a few years before asking her to hike again.
Joseph Genovese
Co-Best Man
Joe and Alec met in high school but were assigned to the same winter snow removal crew of three. Irresponsibility ensued. For some reason, their employer felt it was wise to have three teenagers running around after dark removing snow. They got the job done, but had much fun and memories in the process.
Matthew Homan
Co-Best Man
Matt and Alec go back 18 years when they were just 2 young hooligans living across the street from each other. Through the years, they've been best buds bonding over their love of anything motors, metal, and video games. So much so, that even with a change in time zones they still meet up for weekly gaming and chats. Even though Alec is marrying Cristina, Matt is his forever player 2 <33333
Brian Hart
Groomsman
Brian was Alec's first manager at Hubinger's Garden Center in Crown Point Indiana. The two have kept in touch over the years. They share their goofy attitudes and crude humor. Both love plants! Alec values the mentorship Brain provided in his youth, and the friendship they share now.
Calvin Franklin
Groomsman
Calvin was Alec's second manager when he began his career in logistics. Along with fostering Alec’s career, Calvin took it a step above and took Alec under his wing. Calvin also must be credited with encouraging Alec to grow his career in Wisconsin, where Cristina and Alec met. Who knows, we may all owe this day to him!
Garry Isley
Groomsman
Garry and Alec worked together in Wisconsin, fueling their passion for sorting and moving freight. Eventually, they became good friends too as freight made way for their mutual love of music, motorcycles, and MMA. Alec is excited to have a fellow cat and dog dad stand up with him at his wedding.
Alyssa Felix
Flower Girl and Ring Bearer Guide
Alyssa is Alec's sister, his first friend, mom to Ayden, and now, Cristina's newest sister. While parenting a young ball of energy is a full-time job, she always makes time for her family. Her only request is please, no Cocomelon at the wedding. She's had enough.
Ayden
Ring Bearer
Voted #1 for cutest member of the wedding party, Ayden will be bearing the rings for his "Unky Alec and Auntie Crispina". Don't be distracted by his cuteness, he's on a mission for high fives and snacks. Aren't we all.
Jon Barker
Officiant
Jon "Lunchboxxx" Barker: the man, the myth, the officiant. Once a college friend and fellow engineering student, now a fellow Detroitian and taco enthusiast. Pass him a Hamm's, ask him about music and travel, and you're in for a great time.
