Taryn & Kyle
Wedding Party
Cameron Hamilton
Groomsman
Cameron and Kyle have known each other since the 8th grade when Kyle moved to Mason, Michigan to live with his aunt and uncle. By the grace of God, the two met during choir class and quickly became best friends, making silly videos together, playing sports, videogames, and generally just being their nerdy selves. Though distance now separates them, whenever they get together, it's like no time has passed at all. Cameron now being blessed as a husband to his lovely wife Amanda, and now a child on the way has shaped him into the kind of man that Kyle is blessed to call his friend and brother in Christ.
Alexander Belfiore
Groomsman
Alex and Kyle have been friends since 2012 when Kyle returned home from his tour in Afghanistan. Kyle welcomed Alex to their squadron and the two quickly became best friends. Their love of pizza, electronic dance music, and the Denver night life helped solidify their long friendship. From Colorado to Maryland, these two have followed one another across the country working in Satellite communications. The two have always supported one another through thick and thin and God willing, that will continue on forever. Alex was lucky enough to be awarded a position at the Satellite Communications site in Stuttgart, Germany and had to bow out before the wedding. He sends his best and we wish him all the best in his new position!
Ayrton Torres
Groomsman
Ayrton and Kyle began working together back in 2019 at Fort Meade, Maryland. Ayrton, being an established electrician and Kyle being a young Systems Engineer, the two worked in concert to bring to life some of the most complex electrical systems in today's time. The two quickly became friends after discovering that they had both served in the Air Force and loved the challenge of testing and certifying electrical systems. It was by God's grace and the gift of passion for engineering that brought these two together in 2021 to begin working at Critical CxE. Ayrton has always been a rock solid friend, brother in Christ, and teammate for Kyle during the transition in his career. With the Lord's blessing, the two will have a long and happy friendship and career together.
Jason Peltier
Groomsman
Jason and Kyle met in 2018 at Open Systems International where Kyle worked after returning to the United States from overseas. Jason is an excellent friend and mentor for Kyle and helped springboard him to where he is today. By God's plan, the two were brought together when Jason and his wife Caitie were relocated to Maryland from Minnesota for the year in 2019. During that year, they all became fast friends. The three enjoyed evenings out in Silver Spring and Washington DC, taking in lacrosse games, going to the farmer's market, and they became great friends. Jason and Caitie have always supported Kyle and been amazing friends and God willing that will continue on forever.
Noah Schairer
Groomsman/Brother of the bride
Noah has been a great friend and brother to Kyle since the two met in the spring of 2021. From lazy days in the pool throwing tennis balls to Liberty and Perdy, to fall nights in catching a Michigan State football game, these two love to hang out and have a good time. Noah is studying to be a software development engineer and works designing web based applications. Their love for technology, sciences, and sports really bring them together and the two love nerding out over what their teams are doing and what the future may bring. Kyle looks forward to being blessed enough to call Noah his brother.
Kevin Loundes
Groomsman
Kyle and Kevin met in High School in Mason, Michigan. They were introduced through Cameron, and have been great friends ever since. Kyle and Kevin both being engineers love talking about technology, the sciences, and what the future may bring. Kevin has always had Kyle's back and been a true brother to him through thick and thin. The two love hanging out at the beach in California and having a couple beers while watching a game. Though he's a University of Michigan grad, we'll cut him some slack...
Lior Kheiman
Groomsman
Lior (Pronounced LEE-OR, like the donkey from Winnie the pooh) and Kyle have been great friends ever since Kyle moved to Maryland in 2018. They met through Kyle's friend and former co-worker Josh Schindler and have become closer over the past few years. Lior and Kyle both love nerding out over Yu-Gi-Oh cards, football, and anime shows. Lior and his fiancé Kasey have always been amazing friends to Kyle and supported him. They've had lots of fun times and trips over the years including Asheville NC, Pittsburgh PA, and many others and Lord willing their friendships will only continue to grow!
