Wedding Party
Jenny Rodarte
Maid of Honor
Jenny is Allison's older sister. Growing up, Jenny taught many things from how to backflip in the living room, to life long lessons of how to become a woman of strength and grace. Even though Jenny has lived thousands of miles away since Allison was 11 years old, they still are very close. Allison will not hesitate to video call Jenny sometimes several times a day for some sisterly advice, or just a good laugh. Her special day would not be complete without her older sister by her side.
Craig Wedeman
Best Man
Craig Wedeman - Best Man Craig is Mark's older brother. Although Craig and Mark are about 5 years apart, Mark always looked up to his brother in every part of life. Some of their fondest memories were playing basketball, throwing the football, riding ATV's, playing video games, and sharing the best life lesson's together as they went through adulthood. Mark has always looked up to his brother as a spiritual and life mentor, and has been guided by his influence and determination through many different aspects of life.
Brittany Gregory
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Allison met at Texas Tech University and have remained close ever since. Thank God they had the same art class together, and Allison randomly asked to use Brittany's printer. From cold dorm nights, to catching up with each other now in each others hometowns, they enjoy every minute together.
Jarod Rodriguez
Groomsman
Jarod met Mark at Helotes Crossfit in 2012. Their foundation as friends began as coaches but quickly grew into more of a brotherly friendship. Mark can always count on Jarod for a good laugh because of his outgoing, witty personality. Even though they may not see each other everyday, Mark knows Jarod has always got his back. Which is why Mark could not imagine this day without him.
Bernadette Armendariz
Bridesmaid
Bernadette and Allison have been inseparable since high school. Bernadette was even Allison's base in cheerleading (she literally caught Allison when she was down!). They have been through many years and trips together, including New York City! Allison can always count on Berna for a shoulder to lean on, and of course a good time (which may or may not include some wine and cheese every now and then).
John Rios
Groomsman
Mark and John first met when they were in high school on the Cross-Country team. Although John was a grade older, they quickly became close friends and would always have each others backs. Mark's fondest memories with John were playing guitar hero, hunting birds and squirrels in each of their own back yards, and many summer trips to Schlitterbaun and tubing the Comal River. Although they both live in separate cities now, they will still have each others backs.
Sarah Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
Sarah was Allison's first friend at Helotes Crossfit. Allison always admired Sarah's strength, persistency, and determination in and out of the gym. Most recently, Allison has admired Sarah for her newest title as mommy to adorable baby A-rod. Not only did Allison find a partner to push her to be the best in the gym, but she also gained a lifelong friend that inspires her to be better in all she does.
Kayla Tatum
Bridesmaid
Kayla and Allison met in their dietetics program. In just 3 short years, they have already been through so much together (graduate school is no joke). Allison can always count on Kayla for extremely insightful advice (if you know Kayla, you know how true this is), for a push during a hot garage-gym workout, and a listening ear. Allison could not have gone through the CPD program without this beautiful soul! She is forever grateful for meeting Kayla and gaining a lifelong friendship.
