Wedding Party
Emily Niederbremer
Bride
I have never felt more heard, more welcomed, and more loved than when I am with Emily. She is the smile that brightens my day, the planner for our next adventure, and my inspiration that motivates me to create. When she is not kicking ass on the roller derby rink, or sewing something spectacular for our family, she is finding a new and wonderful way to enjoy life with me. I am lucky to have this vinyl-loving queen in my world as she is my perfect partner in life and in games!
Ashlund Perez
Groom
Ashlund, or Alex as many of you know him as, is my charming and creative fiancé. I fell in love with his imaginative worldbuilding and optimism for life. He has a heart full of love for his friends and family and a smile that is contagious to everyone around him. I adore his goofy faces, his bad jokes, and his absurd what-if scenarios. Ashlund loves playing all sorts of games, whether it's tabletop games like Magic the Gathering, video games like Slay the Spire, and roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. He made sure we had room for a voice recording studio in our home so he could make podcasts with his best friends and record awesome voiceovers for his D&D campaign trailers. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him going on hikes, imagining up fun stories, and playing games late into the night.
Ian Warshaw
Man of Honor
Ian is my best friend for life. Ever since high school, Ian and I have spent countless hours playing board games, making bad jokes, and going on spontaneous adventures. We have spent many nights calling for hours, playing Dominion, Monopoly, and Nertz while talking about our love lives, our work stresses, or just vibing together.
Levi Grunland
Best Man
If you were to look up ride or die in the dictionary you would see a photo of Levi. From podcasting to world-building Levi has been my creative comrade since the very beginning.
Sara Perrine
Bridesmaid
Sara and I met at orientation in college, where she noticed my Fall Out Boy shirt and we bonded over anime and alt music. She was my roommate for 4 years and in that time I learned to appreciate feathered dinosaurs and Twenty-One Pilots.
Gio Eteaki
Groomsman
From chillin' in his basement to busting down his door at all hours of the night Gio has been like family to me ever since we first met in high school.
Javier Valencia
Bridesman
Javier started the lunch group at work, bringing together an eclectic group of friends to eat lunch and ponder strange what-ifs. Javi is always down to try new things and have joined Ashlund and me in many adventures and Magic nights.
Christopher Newheart
Groomsman
Dungeons and Dragons would never be the same without Chris, a man who brings the same amount of fun and passion into everything he does.
Kaylee Hubbard
Bridesmaid
Kaylee is my longest known friend, as we met as next-door neighbors in 2006 and played a lot of Sims 2. Nowadays, we have a tradition to eat Korean BBQ, try on dresses at Retro Vixen, and play games with Ian at Cardboard Cafe every time I visit home.
Hans Docken
Groomsman
Always has a way of making me feel part of the family, I couldn't have asked for a better older brother.
Kate Vaught-Smith
Bridesmaid
Kate (AKA Shrapnel Roan) was the other piece of Fresh Meat who joined the Roaring Fork Roller Derby team with me in 2024. She's my #1 blocker buddy and a quick friend in the valley.
Andrew Christensen
Groomsman
Best brother in law a guy could ask for, every time you hang out with him 100% guaranteed for a good time!
Claudia Speakes
Bridesmaid
I first met Claudia through Ashlund when we visited Seattle, and I've known her as his childhood friend who has been there through thick and thin. She is a kind-hearted soul with a knack for making fun crafts.
Kacey Williams
Groomsman
The first friend i made when moving to puyallup. the perfect guy to take on advetures because all he says is "ok...."
