Haley and Mark's Wedding
Wedding Party
Adrienne Duke
Maid of Honor
Adrienne and Haley are the "little girls" of the #DukeDynasty. After spending 14 years of making mischief together at home in Nacogdoches, they got to spend a year at West Point together doing the same. Haley and Adrienne are looking forward to living in the same state for the first time since college. They enjoy spending their time together obsessing over their dogs, working out, and eating too much food.
Kyle Wolffe
Man of Honor
Kyle and Mark met at the United States Military Academy Preparatory School when Kyle failed him on his room inspection for not meeting the standard. From that day forward, it sparked a lifelong bond that has continued to this day. They have worked together on numerous community service projects, deployed to Afghanistan together, and served in the same military units together. While Kyle may be from a different mother, Mark and Kyle have been known to be "two peas in a pod."
Diana Duke Plumb
Bridesmaid
Diana is the ring leader of the Duke girls and has taken care of Haley since the day she was born. Diana's desire to attend West Point and serve in the Army was Haley's inspiration for her career as well. She is the inspiration for the #DukeDynasty. Haley was honored to become the godmother to Diana's first child, Jacob, in 2020 and is looking forward to becoming an Aunt to the next Baby Plumb in August 2023!
Justin Bryant
Groomsman
Mark had the honor and privilege of meeting Justin during their study together in Beijing, China where they forged a relationship that has flourished into him being welcomed into the Bryant family. Justin is a man of many talents whether it is his ability to have friends located all over the world that he can visit or his hidden talent of being a part of a band and playing a musical instrument. He has been there for Mark through his highs and lows and had it not been for him and his family opening their home, life might have been a little different.
Kelley Lovely
Bridesmaid
Kelley and Haley have often been described as looking like the same person, both in and out of uniform. As the 2nd and 4th sisters of the #DukeDynasty they have always shared a lot in common. Kelley has always supported Haley in her travels in and around Europe too. Haley looks forward to meeting baby Lovely in September 2023 and becoming an Aunt x 3 this year!
Micah Petersen
Groomsman
Micah and Mark initially met at West Point where they were freshmen in 2013 and did not meet again until Micah hosted a MURPH challenge in Beijing, China in 2018. From that day forward, Micah has pushed Mark to run his marathon and continues to encourage him to work out anytime they visit one another. Micah and Mark discovered China through running and had the opportunity to fly together while in Afghanistan where they saw the world through a different lens. Mark and Micah have driven all over the East Coast visiting friends while engaging in thoughtful discussions about anything. It is for that exact reason that Micah and Mark will hopefully work on legislation someday down the road!
Perry "PJ" Brown
Groomsman
Mark and his family always told PJ that he has "an old soul" and he truly has lived up to that title his entire life. From Mark and PJ competing again each other at Chuck E Cheese as a child to them wrestling together in the backyard when he was a teenager, PJ was always by Mark's side. While Mark is the oldest, he is blessed and fortunate to have someone he can talk to at any time of day. The bond that Mark and PJ share will always be there for God knows they both have supported one another since birth!
Jacob Duke Plumb
Ring Bearer
JD is 3 and a half years old and the sweetest little man. Haley loves being his godmother and spoiling him any chance she can get. He will be an excellent ring bearer and very attentive to his duties (plus he'll be the cutest one up there!) JD loves Buzz Lightyear, shopping with his Mom and Dad, and cake pops.
