Wedding Party
Joranne Nagle
Maid of Honor
I met Jo while stationed in Alaska. At first, we weren't sure about each other but our love for red wine and puns brought us together. Although we have been stationed apart for many years she still holds a special place in my heart.
Andrea Downing
Bridesmaid
Andrea is my sister, I rudely revoked her maid of honor status when she said she wouldn't be offended if I asked someone else. (Kind of a joke we have together) My sister might curse like a sailor but she has a heart of gold.
Katee Davis
Bridesmaid
I also met Katee while stationed in Alaska, she is the sweetest person I have ever met. Her attitude is contagious and she is one heck of a cook! She is one of my most girly girlfriends and I love that she brings out the happy in me!
Erica Roberts
Bridesmaid
Where do I start with this one? Erica and I have been friends since at least middle/high school. We became friends because our two best friends befriended each other. She is an amazing lady and has helped me plan the wedding while being in MS. I love her family and I aspire to be the mother she is!
Kathryn Byrd
Bridesmaid
I met Kat while I was stationed in Italy. It's hard being a grown up and finding good girlfriends, but there she was. I met her while playing softball and I facebook stalked her into hanging out. We haven't lost contact since she is a wild one and so much fun!
Bryttani Brewer
Bridesmaid
Bryttani is Bryce's sister. We met over the holiday almost 2 years ago. She has already met the family and they love her just like I do. She has such a big heart and we both enjoy poking fun at her brother!
Michelle Hills
Mother of the Bride
Michelle is my stepmom. I met Michelle when I was seven and although she is not my biological mom she is all I know. She did her best to raise me and I wouldn't be the person I am today without her.
Eric Van Wagner
Father of the Bride
My dad needs no description! He is my favorite person, he raised me to be the most stubborn, independent, bossy person I am today. He is the most selfless person I have ever met and I'll always be his little girl.
Bryant Cook
Best Man
Bryant is my brother and Best Man. He, unlike most older siblings, did not pave the way by making all the mistakes. Bryant was the perfect role model for me growing up and to this day is one of the smartest, wittiest dudes I know.
Bryan Cook
Father of the Groom
My dad is the epitome of an outdoorsman. He would wear his overalls (with no undershirt) to the wedding if he could. He taught me that the best things in life are earned through hard work and dedication.
Sharyl Cook
Mother of the Groom
I am a momma's boy because of this woman right here. She is the most selfless person I have ever met in my entire life. She is very picky when it comes to the girls I meet, so Shannon you must be something special.
Preston Wolter
Groomsman
Preston is the manchild of the group. He could be the richest man in the world but you would never tell by his love for Trailer Park Boys, and "sweatpants with a tucked in polo shirt" type of style. Preston and I met in Italy, where he and Ashley made me feel like part of their family. I also had the honor of presenting Preston with his first salute after he commissioned as an officer in the AF.
Derek Victor
Groomsman
Vic and I also met in Italy playing softball. He was the first person to introduce me to the "Goons" and military softball and continues to look out for me to this day.
Efrain "Rol" Roldan Jr.
Groomsman
Rol and I also met in Italy playing softball. My favorite memory with Rol was when we went to the Almafi Coast and he got winded going up Mt. Vesuvius (Vesoofus as he called it).
Joey "Q" Quiroga
Groomsman
Q is the ultimate hypeman of the group. He is the true "Nature Boy". Not only because of his love for Ric Flair, but also for the time he came out of a bush in Naples wearing nothing but a folding chair bag.
Orly Lujan
Groomsman
Orly and I also met in Italy playing softball. He and I once spent an entire day together at the airport in London after missing our flight. We also spent many nights wandering around the streets of Pordenone, Italy lost. Thanks, mijo.
