Rachel & Daniel
Wedding Party
Dr. Samantha Durbin
Maid of Honor
Growing up cousins in the Midwest, Rachel fondly remembers hand-me-down clothes, frog hunting, Starwars side scroll Nintendo games, ake adventures, late night talks around the fire, and driving lessons together. Rachel entered pilot training the same time Sam entered med school, and they've been commiserating long distance over wine and long days ever since. The sister Rachel never had, Sam has been her best and closest friend for as long as she can remember.
Alexa Incorvaia
Bridesmaid
Alexa is the final sister to round out Rachel's family! She's a kickass snowboarder, avid reader, and a knockout with the air fryer. Getting to know Alexa even better these last few years has been such a treat! Rachel always knew they got along, but now that they've traveled together and gotten to know each other better, the bond is solid. Rachel is excited to spend many more family holidays and vacations reading by the pool and sharing blankets for movies together!
Miranda Mila
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Miranda were roommates the summer between 4* and 3* year for soaring at the Academy which cemented an already strong friendship. Post Academy, Miranda has kept up the marathon running, international travel, and exotic hiking that Rachel's helicopter career just can't keep up with. Forever the life of the party and an all around great friend, Miranda holds a special Cuban place in Rachel's heart. A professional snake milker currently residing in west Texas when she's not jet setting around the world, Miranda enjoys Pina coladas and stinky blue cheese.
Marlene Waterman
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Marlene met when they were both accepted to your United States Air Force Academy and attended a meet and greet before basic training. Inseparable since, they've run marathons together, played way too many hours of beach volleyball, and totally failed trying to paddleboard on the ocean. After the Academy, even the Air Force and their crazy schedules couldn't keep them apart. Mom and daughter trips to Savannah and helping each other pick out wedding dresses are just some of the things that they steal away to do together. Rachel is beyond excited to have one of her best friends standing for her.
Katie Obluda
Bridesmaid
Katie and Rachel became close friends through OCF at USAFA. Retreats, hangouts at friends places, and hours and hours of trying to survive the rigors of one of America's Premier Institutions together built a strong friendship that carried through to pilot training and beyond. Katie is the extrovert to Rachel's introvert and spent most of their six months together in pilot training trying to make Rachel actually leave her apartment and see people. Forever the optimist, Katie eventually succeeded. Between getting offered jobs just walking around the Oskhosk AirVenture and shuttling generals around Europe, Katie is an all around rockstar with a passion for aviation, friends, and her faith. Rachel is beyond excited to share her big day with Katie.
Clare O'Reilly
Bridesmaid
What can't be said about Clare? Space enthusiast extraordinare, mountain biking and skiing FIEND, and one of the best travel buddies around. Rachel and Clare met at the Academy and have been fast friends ever since. Post graduation, Clare would often let Rachel crash on her couch when she needed to escape pilot training, putting up with her endless talk about just how insane it all was. It's a good friend indeed whose parents offer an extra bed whenever traveling through Texas. Fast friends, chosen family, Rachel can't wait to share her special day with Clare.

Dan and Bizz have known each other ever since Bizz was a young motivated SMACK on the Cadet Honor Guard.
