Supportive, reliable, loving, funny, and caring. Christina is a pillar of support in Vale’s life. With only 3 years of knowing each other, and I mean really knowing each other, she has demonstrated that there is always another perspective in life, that people care, and no matter what the universe will put the right person on your way. Initially Christina was Vale’s host mom, when she first moved to the US, but with the pass of the time they became family. She has shown unconditional love to the Bride and Groom, giving them a spot in their family and always having an open chair at their dinner table for them.

Ethan Alvarez

Groomsman

Even though Mikey does not always have a lot of time to plan things together he always appreciates Ethan's ability to hold friendships together.

Aidan Scammerhorn

Groomsman

Aidan is one of the best guys to take on an outdoor adventure. He loves socializing with new people and absorbing facts off of the internet on every topic imaginable. This gives him the ability to look comfortable in any conversation no matter the subject. Mikey and Aidan have had a lot of fun snowboarding and partying together over the years and that will never end.
