Alicia & Tristan
Wedding Party
Dora Sherman
Maid of Honor
Dora and I met what feels like several lifetimes ago in fifth grade. We became inseparable as teenagers; her family was my family, and vice versa. We’ve been each other’s concert buddies, we took Driver's Ed together, we have jokes and stories for DAYS, and we enjoy the occasional sunrise. We're so goofy together but also love each other fiercely. Dora is my better half. I can't imagine life without her, and I'm ridiculously excited for her to stand by me as my Maid of Honor.
Kyle Jung
Best Man
Kyle and I have known each other and been best friends for over twenty years. I met Kyle at church youth group and we quickly bonded over skateboarding, live music, girls, and life in general. In recent years we have kindled our mutual interest in brewing craft beer together, even picking up several awards. We have celebrated most, if not all, major life events together and I am so very excited to have Kyle stand by me as my Best Man.
Karina Hartung
Bridesmaid
The older sister, the OG BFF. Without Karina, there would have been no bedroom dance parties to Backstreet Boys, N Sync, or Britney Spears. Having an older sister that I look up to is one of the coolest things ever and I’m thrilled she’ll be celebrating my wedding with me.
John Hocking
Groomsman
And our Officiant!! John and I met at a Seattle Sounders match through a mutual friend, who told us that we would make good friends since we both brewed beer! After getting together and finally trying each other’s delicious beers, we became fast friends which then developed into hanging out weekly. Alicia soon joined these weekly get- togethers, and the four of us grew close. John and his wonderful wife Tricia have become our best friends, neighbors, and practically family. Through their devotion to each other and the love they exemplify, they're our unofficial marriage counselors.
Josie Bresson
Bridesmaid
My Piscean soulmate. We bonded in middle and high school over Youtube videos, musicals and movies. She's the person I'd stay up with until 3am talking about everything and nothing. Our friendship is now long distance, and what I miss the most is visiting her at the UW Seattle campus and eating Thai food for dinner. Josie is quick-witted, creative, and brilliant, and I can't wait to party together again.
James Presleigh
Groomsman
James and I have also have known each other for at least twenty years. We met at church youth group and bonded over skateboarding, girls, suburban golfing, and him teaching me how to do a burn out. James is the kind of friend who will always lend a helping hand no matter what, and his genuine kindness and care for loved ones is obvious. We are very lucky to have James in our lives, and even luckier to have him standing with me on this special day.
Amanda Johnson
Bridesmaid
Amanda and I met when we started our new careers together in 2015! We have both helped each other grow into the people we are today. We love watching movies together, getting bubble tea, and our guilty pleasure is eating at Red Robin and shopping! Amanda LOVES Disney and Star Wars. She is a literal ray of sunshine.
Jonathan Soriano
Groomsman
Jon is one of the sweetest and most loving humans in my life. We met at a Halloween party several years back. Like all great friendships we did not get off on the best foot at first, BUT it did not take me long to recognize what a genuinely kind, fun, and big-hearted man Jon is. Alicia and I love hanging out with Jon and his incredible husband Carl, and were even lucky enough to spend a week with them in the Caribbean in 2019! It doesn't get any better than having a brunch date with Jon and Carl.
Cindee Wilson
Bridesmaid
It was love at first sight when Cindee and I met at work in 2017. Neither of us knew what we were doing work-wise but we knew immediately that our love was meant to be. She is one of the most thoughtful people I know; you can tell she cares about each person in her life. When we're together long enough, you’ll eventually hear us talk about the outrageous cost of postage…in our Southern accents. If you're down for a good red blend and a Hallmark movie, she's the one to call.
Chase Tomjack
Groomsman
Chase changed my life forever when we met at a housewarming party hosted by Jon. Through mutual friends we kept crossing paths until we inevitably became great friends. Chase is as fantastic and genuine as they come, and always great company whether one on one, at a party, at a brewery, or going to a local art show.
Hope Bixby
Bridesmaid
Hope is the delightful proof that it is possible as an adult to make friends and STAY friends! She's the kind of person that says "let's hang out sometime" and it actually happens. Every time. She's both a fun drinking buddy and hiking buddy, and she's one of the smartest people I know.
Reagan Stovall
Groomsman
Reagan blessed us with his presence through our friend and his soon-to-be wife Hope! We met Reagan when he was finishing his degree at UW Tacoma and I must admit that Hope has great taste. Recently Reagan and I have bonded over playing darts, listening to The National, and hiking in the great PNW with our fiancées.
