Wedding Party

Alana Hogan

Matron of Honor

Alana is my younger sister. She was recently married in January 2020 and has been a huge support in my walk down the aisle. As Army brats we traveled the world together! We have visited Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Turkey, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, Ireland, and grew up in England! She and I love to ski and we love our annual ski trips with family and friends. Alana is supportive, kind, gentle and the ultimate English rose! She has been there for me in trials and celebrations and I'm so glad to have her stand next to me during the biggest celebration of all!!

Victoria Pinner

Bridesmaid

Victoria is my British bestie and we first met at church 30 years ago! We became fast friends then she moved to the US, her father was also military, while I stayed in the UK. We lived for some time in each others countries then reunited at a church BBQ when I was living in the UK a second time! We showed up, suprisingly, wearing the exact same denim outfit and were inseperable from that point on! Although, I again moved back to the States, we have stayed in touch thanks to letter writing and eventually WhatsApp! Victoria works as a business and life coach in Kent, England!

Caroline Anderson

Bridesmaid

I met Caroline over a decade ago and although she moved away after a couple of years, we became fast friends. Caroline is so special and brings such energy to any setting she is in. She is well established in her career as an anchor for Spectrum News in Raleigh, NC, which is perfect for her personality! We pick up right where we left after any long absence and she is o engaged in every conversation and always wants to know how I am doing! Her family has become my extended family and I am so thrilled they will be a part of our special day!

Sarah Myers

Bridesmaid

I have known Sarah for over a decade as a roommate and dear friend. She always makes me laugh! We have had adventures in limos and on beach trips! She is always humble and reminds me to keep God as the center of my life. Although she currently lives in Chesapeake, VA with her family whenever we get together its just like old times!

April Dixon

Bridesmaid

April is my fun fitness friend! She's always up for something outdoors. We have done beach trips, lake trips and celebrated wine nights and all sorts of fun things! She and I are also birthday twins and have celebrated a few birthdays together!

Carrie Conley

Bridesmaid

I met Carrie in 2011 after discovering our shared love of England. Shortly after, she visited there and ever since then we have been close friends. Carrie is my TMI friend and we literally can tell each other anything! She married into the Army in 2016 so we have a shared perspective of the Army life!

Attendant

Elizabeth Elaine, aka Lainey, is my first cousin and recent ECU college graduate! She is so sweet and supportive and has been wonderful as I shared the ups and downs of the wedding journey! Her communications degree will take her far as she navigates the post college world. She will be my honor attendant as she has the best personality and will shine bright on our day.

Blakely Saul and Elle Miller

Flower Girls

Blakely and Elle are my second cousins! They are only 8 months apart and are the cutest! Blakely just celebrated her 4th birthday in June 2021 and loves to dance and do gymnastics! Elle, just like Blakely, is Frozen obsessed, and often wears the cute dresses from the movie! Elle has just started gymnastics and will be a star just like her fellow cousin! Their flower dresses are beautiful and cannot wait for them to walk down the aisle!
