Wedding Party
Nicole Chavez
Maid of Honor
Nikki & Kristin have been best friends since 2008. They met in PE through mutual friends and connected instantly. Kristin moved states in High School & Nikki was the one at the airport crying goodbye. It never was a goodbye, however. It was a see you later. They stayed in contact and make yearly visits while continuing to send presents and stay up to date with one another. Nikki has met all of Kristin’s “bad apples” and got her through breakups and heart breaks. She also was the first person to hear the excitement over finding Cory. Kristin is so thrilled to have one of the biggest supporters in her life stand next to her on such a heart warming day. You will likely see Kristin and Nikki crying together and then laughing because they are crying.
Shawndra Flores
Bridesmaid
Shawndra is Kristin’s big sister that she didn’t get to grow up with, which makes living so close these days so mind blowingly crazy! Shawndra is the kind of sister who is one call and 100 hugs away. She wants everyone to feel loved and included, taking Cory in as a brother-in-law so gracefully. Kristin and Shawndra share a passion for goofy dancing and sipping on beers, so you better believe you will likely see them having a blast together on the dance floor!
Elizabeth Barndt
Bridesmaid
Liz & Kristin became inseparable once they met working as waitresses. They talk music, love board games, talking over coffee, and karaoke. They are quite literally the black cat to the golden retriever, opposite in so many ways, but it works. Kristin always has reminded Liz of her older sister and Liz became the little sister Kristin never had. They are “chosen sisters”. You will likely see Liz and Kristin singing along to music and talking way too much about every little detail.
Katy Kunkel
Bridesmaid
Kristin met Katy very similarly to how she met Cory…through an app! The app lets moms and their kids hang out. When Kristin and Katy were able to meet each other in person, it was an instant friendship filled with non stop chatter, similar interests, and nearly the same wardrobe. They are two peas in a pod, texting everyday, hanging out every week. Their friendship hasn’t been for very long, but it feels like it’s already been a lifetime. You will likely see Kristin and Katy dancing and singing with their boys and laughing too hard over something.
Brandon Price
Best Man
Brandon and Cory have been best friends since they were three years old. Corys grandma watched them at her house as their parents worked. They both grew up playing instruments, softball, and hanging out with each others love interests. Somehow, the two ended up finding love around the same time and proposing within the same year. You will likely see Cory and Brandon at the dessert table.
Andrew Alvarez
Groomsman
Andrew and Cory met at Pizza Hut back in 2006. They both have a passion for cars, motorcycles, and sports. Currently, they have a busy work schedule, but they always make time for the important stuff. You will likely see Andrew with a serious face and him and Cory ragging on each other.
Pedro Alvarez
Groomsman
Pete and Cory met in 2006 through Pete’s brother, Andrew. Him and Cory both enjoy video games, cars, and conquering the Tough Mudder together. You will likely see them joking around and laughing with one another.
Aaron Flores
Groomsman
Aaron and Cory met through Kristin’s family. They are soon to be brother-in-laws! They both are great dads and bond over family time and top golf. You will likely see Aaron trying to get Cory to take a shot.
Jacee Weems
Bridesmaid
Jacee and Kristin met years ago at the bbq restaurant they called their second home. They bonded over dancing and singing silly, gossiping, and growing together. If Kristin got a new apartment somewhere, Jacee followed. They were there for each other when the boys who didn’t deserve them let them down. Jacee continues to be a supportive friend and the very best babysitter when needed. On the wedding day, you will likely see them making overly animated facial expressions towards things and attempting to two step.
Johnathan Coley
Groomsman
Coley & Cory met at UPS. They share many company interests such as the outdoors, kayaking, softball, and talking about future investments. You will most likely see them making a cheesy joke.
