Wedding Party
Bryanne
Maid of Honor
Ally and Bryanne met in their freshman year of college at DMC (Divine Mercy Chaplet) on the Hill, and have been besties for the resties since 2014! They have been on many adventures including Sasquatch hunting in Georgia, camping / hiking together, finding new tea spots, and spontaneous adventures during visits. Bryanne and Ally have been each other's "yes woman" since then, from dances to off the beat path adventures.
Sabrina
Bridesmaid
Sabrina and Alyssa have known each other since 2010 (not sure who's known who longer out of high school friends - Mark and Alyssa or Sabrina and Alyssa; y'all duke it out as y'all do haha). They enjoy doing a range of things from traveling to Georgia to visit Bryanne, Fredericksburg day trips, matcha runs, random festivals, and a range of the in between. They love trying new restaurants together, and have grew their love of food over the years.
Malary
Bridesmaid
Malary and Ally have been friends since Malary transferred to college in San Antonio. They enjoy yapping together, spending time with Lilac (Malary's thiccc cat), and hanging out. Malary and Ally have co-directed retreats together. Malary moved specifically back to San Antonio to be closer to Ally (just kidding Malary haha) for the random errands they run together from Trader Joe visits to farmers markets.
Blanca
Bridesmaid
Blanca and Ally have been friends since college. Blanca asked Ally to serve alongside her at Caritas (where Ally later met Alli), and they have been great friends since then! They both bonded together over baking, farm fresh foods, women's nutrition, and their miscellaneous endeavors together. Blanca was a founding member for the annual Galentine's gathering that Ally hosts every February.
Alli
Bridesmaid
Alli and Ally first met while serving at Caritas and have been friends ever since! They bonded on their love for photography (film and digital) and BTS making a comeback. They see each other periodically like at SEEK, but keep up virtually with each other over phone chats and deep convos. Even though Alli is far away doing the Lord's work in Mexico, she has been the sweetest friend since 2020.
Clarisa
Bridesmaid
Ally and Clarisa have been best buds since the day they met on the sofas at 4th Day of Awakening, and have been homies ever since from dressing as FOCUS missionaries together to founding the women's group at St Anthony's Catholic Student Association together. While life gets hectic and busy, when they can both come together they can talk for hours and hours just catching up on their newest endeavors or hobbies.
Joe Carey
Best Man
Joe and David have known each other since David was born. Joe is David's favorite brother. David enjoyed growing up down the hall from him, sharing hobbies like soccer and video games. They also both bond on their shared love of Scooby-Doo, Star Wars, and superheroes. Even though the distance makes it difficult to catch up often, David enjoys getting the opportunity to visit and catch up with Joe's family.
Patrick Igbeka
Groomsman
Patrick and David first met at the St. Anthony's Catholic Student Association in 2019, when David thought: "who's this loud guy singing anime openings?". They stayed connected over the pandemic through D&D - David was initially nervous Patrick wouldn't enjoy playing D&D, but has now become a monster to both the D&D world and conversations IRL. Together they enjoy playing Balder's Gate 3, talking conspiracy theories, and eating Patrick's baked beans.
Blake Landin
Groomsman
Blake and David first met as co-workers back in 2022. Since then they have become best buds from primitive camping to Ren Faires to adventures in Utah. They come up with the funniest stories and things together.
Andrew Vitek
Groomsman
Andrew and David also met at St. Anthony's Catholic Student Association back in 2019. They later learned that they grew up within the same neighborhood, and the Lord brought them together to become friends. Andrew took on the role of Dunegon Master (DM) for their friend's D&D campaign since the pandemic, and they have been under his tyrant thumb since (just kidding Andrew). They enjoy catching up on Andrew's latest romantic interests and their thoughts on AI.
Jorge Alberto Herrera
Groomsman
Jorge was David's first friend at UTSA when he transferred. They lost touch at some point over the years, but later reconnected when they shared a computer science class during the pandemic years. Jorge and David enjoy
George Campa
Groomsman
George and David met at a confessional line at St Francis, when Ally said: "hey! It's George, you have to meet him", and they have been friends since. George and David used to be workout buddies, frequenting Gold's Gym together to get swole. George annually staffs the middle school retreat with David, where their house is an absolute monster at competitiveness (even outside of the retreat). Outside of those things, they enjoy catching up together when the opportunity presents itself and playing board games together.
