Theresa & David
Wedding Party
Gabriela Spence
Matron of Honor/Wedding Planner Extraordinaire
Matron of honor, wedding planner, but most importantly my big sister! What an honor to have this intelligent beauty standing by my side on my wedding day ❤️
Jonathan Alvarado
Best Man
He is truly the best man...I knew it when we were kids, and peeing the same bed, I knew it when I was the best man at his wedding, and I know it now. He is a best friend, a faithful son, a kickass husband and a proud father; Jonathan is the older brother everyone wishes they had, to look up to, but I was lucky enough to get him.
Kelly Turk
Maid of Honor
Whether we are in Massachusetts, Minnesota, DC, or Italy Kelly Turk is always close to my heart, she is my sister and Bestie for life ❤️
Daniel Alvarado
Groomsman
He's exactly as charming as he looks like he would be. Wonderful hair, great skin, beautiful eyes, and even better teeth: and yet his internal aesthetics are what stand out the most. Daniel and I click in comedy as well as intellectual discourse on an unparalleled plane.
Abby Durant
Bridesmaid
My soul sister ❤️ Abby Durant has always been there for me and I know she always will. No matter the distance, sisters for life ❤️
Andrew Alvarado
Groomsman
Andrew is the funniest person I know! He is as kind and loving as he is energetic and passionate. Andrew lives his whole life on a level most people would be exhausted just thinking about, and we have nothing but fun every time we hang out together!
Victoria Alvarado
Bridesmaid
My soon to be sister-in-law! I admire her strength and heart for others and feel so blessed to have her standing with me on my wedding day ❤️
PJ Sterling
Groomsman
Pj and I have had a connection from the first time we met. He has that rare deep down sort of love for people, and joy for life, that is a blessing to see and feel every time we're together. I taught Pj how to dab, and he has taught me how to be free in exactly the person God made me to be.
Ally Moran
Bridesmaid
Your faith and joy bring a light to all you meet, ❤️so blessed to have you standing with me on my wedding day ❤️
John Walter Erickson V
Groomsman
John, John, John. Some people know John as an athlete, some as a card shark, some as that guy who always knows how to make people laugh. He wears many hats....he has to because of the size of his head. But his heart is even bigger, and that's the part I love most. My brother John.
Cyrie Holman
Bridesmaid
From high school through college, Cyrie has been a faithful friend ❤️ your support and encouragement has been a comfort to my soul. Your smile lights up a room and I am so happy to have you smiling with me on my wedding day ❤️
Will Martin
Groomsman
Will is a self-proclaimed basic white male, but that generic universality doesn't make Will bland, it's what makes him so universally relatable! Will can talk for days, but he also listens, and few people ever find that right balance. And Will has already found it at the tender age of 24-45. I love this guy.
Alena Casey
Bridesmaid
From senior year roommate to lifelong friend ❤️ Alena has always helped me see the big picture of life. So grateful she will be standing with me on my wedding day ❤️
Seth Grimes
Groomsman
Seth has more or less been exactly the same person since the time he was 13 years old. And that person is truly wonderful. I am a better person for having known and been friends with Seth Grimes. Seth represents a very small group of people who are incredibly brave and physically unafraid of anything or anyone, and also philosophical, deep thinkers. Oh and also a nerd.
Jen Perdomo
Bridesmaid
Two blessed years living with Jen, learning about life, faith, and love. She spoke into my life and was the first to teach me to pray for my future husband. Now I will marry the man I have been praying for, the man of my dreams, and I thank the Lord for Jen and the wisdom He has given her ❤️❤️
Jonmichael Tarleton
Groomsman
Jonmichael Tarleton is probably the most talented person I know, but you would never get that impression from him because of his humility. He is a hard worker, the best kind of dreamer, and the best kind of friend. I am so proud to be friends with Jonmichael.
Luke Miller
Usher
Luke Miller is the most beautiful man I know! He is funny and talented and a very hard worker, and he really cares about people. Luke makes anyone feel comfortable, but don't get too comfortable or you'll get lost in his big brown eyes!
Kyle Spence
Usher
My brother in law, what a great addition to our family. Kyle's charming, funny, and smart personality never fails to leave you entertained and laughing!
Catherine/Meghanne Alvarado
Flower Girl
She is the luckiest baby in the world with the two best parents she ever could have wished for! She is also the cutest baby I've ever seen with Popeye forearms and a heart of pure gold. She doesn't say much yet but you can tell already she is a total sweetheart! And my sister Meghanne is simply amazing. She does it all! Lovely wife, loving mother, she's sweet and hilarious oh and she has her Master's degree and is super talented and successful.
Evangeline Leonard
Flower Girl
Evangeline is a real life princess. If you can't tell from looking at her, definitely find the time to meet her and see her smile in person! We are so happy to have her as a flower girl!
Luke Leonard
Ring Bearer
Luke is a little Gronkowski in the making. He's as sweet as he is energetic and that is saying a lot. You can already tell Luke is going to be one of the best guys you know, and he's already more handsome than anyone coming to this wedding!
Dan Tymann
Officiant
Dan Tymann is my mentor and friend. He walked beside me through my college experience and helped me navigate life and love with prayer and wisdom. Now, even from a distance he continues to show me great love and encouragement. I am so incredibly blessed to have his wisdom and godly council in my life and now in my marriage. After so many years of prayer together for my future husband Dan shall be the one to marry me to the man of my dreams, the man God had planned for me all along ❤️
Carmela Sterling
Mother of the Bride
My mother. You are my inspiration and my example of what a great mother looks like. Trust, friendship, laughter, tears, encouragement, safety to talk about anything. You have truly given me a spectacular life ❤️ You have shaped me into the woman I have become and have always encouraged me to purse my dreams. You gave me the freedom to always be curious and to be entirely me. Your fierce belief in me will never leave my heart and mind. You will always be my mother and I love you for everything you are and everything you have done for me ❤️❤️
Peter Sterling
Father of the Bride
Strong, faithful, leader, and a softy at heart. My papa has always been my favorite playmate. Whether it was summertime water sports, playing in the snow, or driving all around the twin cities for hockey games, he has always been there to support and encourage me and to push me to be my very best. Papa, I will always be your little girl ❤️
Judee Alvarado
Mother of the Groom
I don't think I need to say anything about my mom because probably everyone already knows her. But for the few who don't, she is simply the sweetest and the bravest person I know. And second place is not close in either category. My beautiful mother, my wonderful friend, I'm so happy to have found a strong woman so much like you.
Felix Alvarado Jr.
Father of the Groom
My dad is one of a kind. He has worked as a teacher his whole life...combine that with being a father and those are two of the worst paid, most difficult and generally thankless jobs you could find! But he is the hardest working person I know and has somehow managed to create a path of his own, and for his family, and as long as I live I will be forever grateful for my papa!
