Amber & Andy's Wedding Website

Friends since age 4 from Trinity Lutheran Church! Both Amber and Kristen played varsity waterpolo as goalies, but on opposing high school teams! They have been best friends for a very long time!

As longtime friends, they are like sisters, and Amber frequented the Lang household for dinner with Kristen! Karen Lang always knew to set an "extra" place for dinner!

Involved with every major event to happen in Kristen's life, Amber was a bridesmaid in 2004 when Kristen wed Peter Fink, and present at the hospital the day of birth for their two sons, Braden and Tyler Fink!

Known as Auntie Amber and Mija to the Fink Family, Kristen and Amber have years to look forward to sharing life's experiences. Close with Liz "Mija" Duran, the three Mijas have moved from young women into married ones and been apart of each other's weddings! 

Liz and Amber go all the way back to Amber's Freshman year at San Marcos High School!

Bound by swim team, water polo, a love of live music and a great friendship, Liz and Amber have some tales to tell of "old times past"! 

Known for their extended beach walks, healthy snacking, and Spanish lyric song making, Liz and Amber have shared some important milestones together!
 

In 2005, Amber was Liz's Maid of Honor when she wed Robert Duran. Now Amber has co-hosted Liz's Baby Shower with Kristen! The "3 Mijas" as they are known to by many, have a unique bond that continues to evolve as life takes them on their journey's! 

A closeness only family can know, Denise Lane is one of many special cousins that Amber is grateful to have! As the youngest girl cousin on Amber's mom's family's side, Amber has been apart of Denise's life since the very beginning!

With a huge heart, Denise has always been loving and supportive of Amber. Special visits up to Santa Barbara and the Oregon Coast have been times these two have shared some great adventures and stories.

Holding an understanding of gratitude for being apart of an amazing family, these two will always be there with their other cousins for family events - including dancing on the dance floor to good music, even if they are the only few out there!

"Friends and Family for Life" is the underpinning of great relationships between all the cousins on this side of the family!

Santa Barbara local and longtime friend to Amber! Ashley is a friend that knows the true road to happiness and they go way back to the years of fun singlehood and "Girls night out"!
