Wedding Party

Meet our Family and Friends who are walking down the aisle with us!

Monica Zavala

Maid of Honor

Monica and Jennifer met at Texas A&M University in 2007; both in the Corps of Cadets and members of the Nationally Famous Fighting Texas Aggie Band! They were room-mates through pretty much all of College. Some of their favorite memories include singing musicals in the car, eating frozen yogurt at Spoons, and going on road trips over Texas! Monica's creativity, joy, and enthusiasm are amazing (ask her anything about books, music, or culture and she has something to say!) Monica will be the Maid of Honor at the wedding and has the most heavenly singing voice!


Christine Trevino

Bridesmaid

Christine and Jennifer met each other at Texas A&M University in the Corps of Cadets. Both proud members of A-Battery Noblemen and the Nationally Famous Fighting Texas Aggie Band. Christine and Jennifer share many great memories of A&M -like tumbling class (were we learned to cartwheel), the best movies (like Hocus Pocus, anyone?) and quoting entire movies like The Lion King during 18 mile ruck marches. Christine is full of life and humor, and deeply loves her friends and family. That being said, Christine is ready to relax, enjoy, and keep the party going at the wedding. (Ask her about the time we rode bicycles in Salzburg while singing "The Sound of Music!"

Erin Wheeler

Bridesmaid

Erin is not only Jenn's sister-in-law, but also one of the dearest friends one can ask for. Kind, smart, and brilliant -Erin is always up for adventure at the beach or hiking the next National Park with her husband, Kevin Wheeler. They've recently hiked Zion National Park! Erin also has a mean margarita recipe (best in the world!) the "WHEELERITA!"


Sarah Matthias

Bridesmaid

Sarah is Ryan's sister and all-around amazing human. Sarah is a Yoga Master and Wine Sommelier of the highest caliber. (Ask her about some excellent wine and cheese pairings) Sarah loves travel everywhere with Alex Matthias and is always the life of the party, so be sure to find her on the day if you’re up for a good conversation (that’s if you can keep up!).”

Julian Kim

Best Man

Julian has been following in my shadow his whole life. Seriously, he went to a rival high school in DC, lived in the same dorm at Notre Dame, then followed six months behind me to Army posts in Georgia, Washington State, and North Carolina. Luckily, the tides of fate could not have linked me to a more intelligent, supportive, and classy individual. I'm just happy I met Jenn before Julian moved to Boston; otherwise, I would have had to cope with separation anxiety!


Kevin Plude

Groomsman

I first met Kevin (or "Plude" as he is more commonly known) as a fellow freshman in Dillon Hall at Notre Dame, where he immediately sized me up as an immature, irresponsible, lazy, out-of-shape good-for-nothing. Luckily, Plude is a terrible judge of character! Much more likely, Plude's steady friendship turned me away from the path of licentiousness and helped craft me into the productive and conscientious member of society I am today. Nowhere will you find a more caring husband and father, loyal and deliberate friend, and terrible Sid Meier Civilization VI player.

Kevin Wheeler

Groomsman

You don't get to pick your in-laws... luckily, Kevin is one of the good ones! He likes smoking meat, hiking, and getting beat in Monopoly and Settlers of Catan. He also happens to be a genuinely fun-loving and caring person. Really, what else could you ask for?


Danny Herrera

Groomsman

You know how sometimes opposites attract? Well, Danny is good at dancing, spends time outside when the sun is out, responds to text messages immediately, and plans social events almost every night (I miss taco-and-margarita nights!) No wonder we became fast friends! I can't wait to visit Danny in Colorado and spend time on the slopes, where I will undoubtedly be the safe and responsible one.
