Wedding Party
Stephanie Macklin
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and I met at UNCP over the summer while taking a dreaded physics course and quickly became friends after bonding over being foodies, Friends, and Golden Girls. She is the Rose to my Dorothy.
Jennifer Vantine
Bridesmaid
Jennifer was one of my very first friends when I moved to NC and we met my sophomore year at Southview High (almost 20 years ago)! No matter how much time goes by, we pick right back up where we left off. TJMaxx and Marshall’s know us on a first name basis.
Cristel Arce
Bridesmaid
My cousin or technically “tia” who I was fortunate enough to meet on my very first trip back to Peru! She is an adventurous spirit and someone I can always count on for an impromptu trip. You can count on us laughing for absolutely no reason.
Lorena Huamancaja
Bridesmaid
My cousin who I grew up with since I was 3! When we get together, we reminisce about our childhood and the multiple family reunions that knitted such close bonds. Its been a pleasure to see her become such a great mom to my godson!
Cooper Terry
Groomsman
Allen and Cooper met at their first duty station in San Diego, CA 11 years ago. Back in those days Dunkin’ Donuts used to hate seeing them come after a night of partying.
Daniel Gutierrez
Groomsman
Met Allen at their duty station in California. You can usually catch him and his “awww yeeeahh!” catchphrase if you hang around long enough.
Ty Jones
Groomsman
Allen’s first roommate out of boot camp. Ty usually can be found on discord and down for a game of NBA2K, Overwatch, or Call of Duty day or night.
Deangelo Demps
Groomsman
Met in Okinawa where Allen was stationed after San Diego. They’re usually playing phone tag due to the time change.
