BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan (AFPN) --  An Airman fighting the war on terrorism from Bagram Air Base said "I do" to his bride May 26 over a video teleconference at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.

The VTC wedding connected Senior Airman Carlos Moreno of the 455th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron with his new wife, Carolina, from Airman Moreno's home station of Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., with his parents and co-workers in attendance.

On the Bagram AB side of the teleconference, Airman Moreno was joined by many of his friends and co-workers from his deployed location as witnesses and to show their support.

During the ceremony, a priest at Vandenberg AFB recited the vows as Carolina and Airman Moreno repeated them.

After the final "I do's," Airman Moreno was congratulated by his fellow security forces Airmen and was allowed some time to speak with his new bride and family in attendance at Vandenberg AFB.

Airman Moreno took the opportunity to thank all the individuals that made this possible at both ends.

Airman Moreno is deployed from the 30th Security Forces Squadron at Vandenberg AFB and plans to take his new wife, Carolina, on their honeymoon after he returns from his deployment.
