Wedding Party
Madison Pantzke
Maid of Honor
Madison and I met in Basic Training back in June of 2023. From the moment we met there was an undeniable bond between us. We spent countless nights nursing wounds, trading MRE's, and pushing each other to push through at difficult times. Since then, we have supported each other through all of life's ups and downs even living over 1,000 miles away. From sharing a foxhole, to standing by my side as my Maid of Honor, I am so glad God blessed me with Madison.
Evan Simon
Best Man
I’m incredibly grateful to have my best friend, Evan, standing by my side today as my best man. We’ve been through a lot together—countless memories, shared experiences, and plenty of laughs. He’s been there for me through all of life’s ups and downs growing up together. I can honestly say I wouldn’t be who I am today without his friendship, support, and unwavering loyalty. From the little to the big milestones, Evan has always had my back, and I’m so grateful to have him here with me on this special day. He’s more than a friend; he’s family.
Arrieauna Vargas
Bridesmaid
I spent the first 6 years of my life praying for a sibling. My prayers were answered the day I Arrie was born. She is everything a big sister could ever hope for. For starters, she is incredibly funny, and ten times cooler than I could ever be. She's an incredibly dynamic athlete and a leader on and off the field. She is witty and smart, and I couldn't be more proud of the person she has become. Although she will always be my baby sister, I am glad she's also grown to be one of my best friends.
Gavin Lancon
Groomsman
This is my older brother, Gavin. From childhood, he’s been a protector, a guide, and at times, the person who’s made me laugh when I needed it most. Growing up, we shared countless memories, from the simple moments to the milestones that shaped who we are today. Not only is he an incredible brother, but he’s also a role model, someone whose wisdom and caring nature have always been something I admire. He’s the kind of person who always has your back, no matter what, and I’m so grateful to have him by my side on this special day.
Ma’Kylei Vargas
Bridesmaid
MK is the definition of sugar and spice. She gives the best hugs when your sad, and is always the life of the party. She brings a perfect balance to our family and there hasn't been a boring day since she arrived. I am so proud of the young woman she has become and I'm so blessed to have her by my side on my wedding day.
Owyn Lancon
Groomsman
This is my little brother, Owyn. Growing up, he’s always had a way of making everything a little more fun. Whether it was his humor, his curiosity, or his ability to make even the most ordinary moments memorable, he’s brought a lot of joy to my life. I’m proud of the person he’s becoming, and I’m so grateful to have him here with me on such an important day. Having him by my side means more to me than words can express.
