Wedding Party
Jacqueline Gangloff
Matron of Honor
Jacqueline and I were fast friends when we met during the first few weeks of college, and if you've met her, you'll get why. Jac is the most warm and welcoming person I know along with being my favorite travel buddy and dance partner.
Hunter Moreno
Best Man
Hunter was the winner of the Groomsmen Games™ so he earned the title of Best Man. Hunter is my brother, my business parter, and all around good dude. I've personally never seen him dance so if you see him not on the dance floor grab him and bring him out there.
Peyton Shuff
Bridesmaid
Peyton was the very first friend I made in college. We lived on the same floor in the SDSU dorms and met in the elevator heading down to sorority rush. Peyton's last name was Fedorka, so we ended up standing right next to each other alphabetically and both joined Alpha Phi. It was friendship fate!
Casey Barber
Groomsman
Casey was one of my first friends. I've seen him grow from the weird third grader playing Star Wars in the grass to the moderately less weird adult man watching Star Wars with me. Aly likes to say that I'm Casey's biggest fan. I think she's right. Challenge him to a beer chug, you'll lose.
Abey Tidwell
Bridesmaid
Abey and I also met during the first few weeks of college (you'll see a theme here!) and have been inseparable since. Fun fact: Abey is the ridiculously talented person who designed our wedding invitations!
Kushaan Ahuja
Groomsman
Kushaan has more nicknames than I can even count but the one that remains in my phone is Coach Kush. When we were seniors in high school he coached our rec basketball team to an amazing two wins and uncountable amount of losses. Though we didn't find success on the court, Ku still coaches me whenever I call and ask for advice. I forgive him for benching me through most of the games.
Jerica Tidwell
Bridesmaid
Jerica is another best friend to come out of the early days of college. Our friendship was built on a foundation of Taylor Swift and Grey's Anatomy, and is therefore unshakable. There is nobody in the world quite like Jerica.
Cameron Cox
Groomsman
If you look at my phone records, no name comes up more than Cam. I talk to Cam on the phone almost every day. Most times about nothing, sometimes about convincing him to watch shows like Love Island. There are not too many people out there that you can sit on the phone with for hours like we're just hanging out in each other's living rooms. Fun fact: Aly and Cam have known each other since they were 4!
Kara Postler
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Kara is totally different because we didn't become friends until the second year of college ;) Kara is the laid-back soul that my Type-A self needs. I once did her entire Birthright application so she would go to Israel with me - best decision ever.
Jackson Faucett
Groomsman
In terms of getting another little brother, this guy is best case scenario. The most charming man you'll ever meet and one of the only people to see me birdie a hole at Torrey Pines. A story we'll certainly tell for the rest of our lives.
Kimberly Eppler
Bridesmaid
I can't talk about my childhood without mentioning Kimmy. We grew up four houses away from each other and spent almost every day from ages 15-18 together. I wouldn't have had it any other way!
Drew Rogers
Groomsman
Somewhere in the Rogers house there is a VHS tape of Drew and I doing a seventh grade science project. We recreated scenes from The Matrix but with parts of the cell instead of the characters. Nobody riffs jokes with me like Drew. Sometimes I think people might think we're speaking a different language. I think we like it that way. I still haven't seen The Matrix.
Maria Castagnola
Bridesmaid
Maria and I shared a bunk bed in our sorority house, which truly bonds you for life. She is an incredibly loyal friend, wildly creative and will talk to you at length about deli sandwiches.
Aaron Oppenheimer
Groomsman
I don't know if I've ever called Aaron by his first name. As long as I've known him he has been A-Money. I don't know if he even likes it still. Watching A-Money grow through these last handful of years has brought me so much joy. This guy is an entrepreneur, world traveler, and an all time hugger. Ask him about experiential light and why its place is in the home.
Zach Merritt
Groomsman
If we were in high school and you told Zach and I that Zach would be one of my groomsmen, we probably would've laughed a lot about it and said "that's quite strange." I think people re-enter your life for a reason. Zach and I became the best of friends almost immediately after reconnecting. Zach is one of the smartest people I've ever met and I'm incredibly lucky to have him not only as friend but as a business partner as well. Ask him about Kindu, he probably has it pulled up on his phone already.
Stephen Ordonez
Groomsman
I really like pop punk music. I wanted to be in a band and tour. I started playing guitar and one day Drew asked if I wanted to do funk covers for Battle of the Bands in high school (as a joke, obviously). For some reason I ended up playing bass even though I never had before. The day after I got a Facebook message from Steve asking if I wanted to try out for his band. I did. We were in a band. We lived a dream for a little while. I'm incredibly thankful for sharing that with Steve.
Jacob Gutman
Groomsman
If I ever need help getting something done and I need it to be ultra detail oriented, on time, and executed perfectly, I call Jacob. Jacob was the drummer in our band. During shows I would always love to turn around and look at Jacob and see a dude who was just having the time of his life. There are visions of that burned in my mind forever and I'm so thankful for that. Ask him about the time he almost fell out of a moving car and I caught him.
James Colla
Groomsman
Growing up with James has been such an incredible experience. From sharing a van, to sharing an apartment, these are the types of things that make you inseparable. I'm bonded to James for life because of what we have gone through together. I still don't follow him on Instagram though.
Kyle Keller
Officiant
Kyle and Aly don't remember this night as much as I do, but I won't forget the time in high school where the three of us were at Kyle's watching Sleepless in Seattle. Aly made us noodles and we drank Mountain Dew. The moment sounds insignificant but it was memorable in a way that I didn't know why. Turns out it was because over 10 years later he'd be marrying us. We're so lucky to have Kyle in our life, someone that we love so dearly. We could not think of a better person to be part of our story.
River
Flower Dog
The sweetest little angel dog. Justin calls her a space alien because she is barely a dog. She brings so much love into our home every day. Give her all the pets in the world if you see her, she deserves it.
