Wedding Party
Julia Tonne
Bride
Julia grew up in Central Montana, where the wind runs free, and so does her determination—loud, passionate, and unwavering. She’s never been one to do things halfway, whether it’s tending her garden, caring for her two bunnies, or diving headfirst into a new adventure. That same fearless spirit led her to the University of Montana, where she joined the esports team and, in doing so, met Benjamin. His sunshiney personality was impossible to ignore, and before long, she found herself drawn to the way he could make even the most ordinary moments feel like something special.
Ben Oliver
Groom
Benjamin spent his childhood moving from place to place, a military kid without a hometown but with a knack for adapting to whatever came next. When he landed in Missoula for college, he expected another temporary stop—but then came Julia. They met through UM’s esports team, where competition quickly turned into camaraderie, which turned into something much more. With his boundless enthusiasm and easygoing charm, he matched Julia’s energy step for step, and before either of them quite realized it, they were building something lasting together.
Natalie Sloan
Maid of Honor
Natalie has been Julia's best friend since they were 9. They have weathered countless periods of grief and celebrated joyous occasions by each others side since they were children. Natalie is a nurse, a caretaking soul, and a wonderful jitterbug partner.
George Harris
Best Man
George and Ben first met at school in England shortly after Ben moved there, and they hit it off instantly. Over the subsequent 9 years, their friendship has taken them all over the world, from Washington D.C. to Köln. Despite being British, he has been Ben's longest friend and their inside jokes know no end.
Corey Bressler
Bridesmaid
Not to be confused with Corey Bressler, Corey Bressler has been a wonderful support system for Julia ever since the bride wandered over to the western part of the state. Her home and heart are open to all, and protected by her talent for jiu jiutsu.
Bri Tilleman
Best Woman
A UM Esports legend, Bri is a close friend (and occasionally part-time maid?) of Ben and Julia. She is always lightning-quick on her feet to pull a deep cut from her bottomless bag of references and jokes or to offer a wonderfully sympathetic ear.
Kerry Edwards
Bridesman
Kerry is Julia's previous roommate, current landlord, and forever friend. He has the most wonderful, kind heart and sense of humor that lightens any room he enters. Also, he's the best Magic the Gathering player in Montana.
Conlan Rendell
Groomsman
Another talented gamer, Conlan is a UM student on the Rocket League team with Ben. When he's not busy preparing for medical school, Conlan loves to play baseball, soccer, hockey, and others with the bride and groom. Conlan also has an overflowing abundance of engaging stories to anyone who is lucky enough to listen.
Rachael Jacobsen
Bridesmaid
While Rachael currently lives on the other side of the country in Virginia, her time in Missoula was spent gardening, garage saleing, cooking, and crafting with Julia. Ask her about the video of her cat Mo eating a doorknob if you tire of small talk at the wedding.
Hunter Jarvis
Groomsman
Hunter is Ben and Julia's roommate, and a supremely talented potter. His ceramic art is proudly displayed thoughout their house and the houses of Ben and Julia's families. Not to be confined to one interest, Hunter is also a brilliant gamer, and one of Ben's Rocket League teammates.
Finn Mikkola
Officiant
Finn is currently Ben and Julia's D&D DM, and has previously been on Ben's college Rocket League Team. Finn is a great addition to any social environment due to his unmatched charm, gargantuan heart for others, and timely wit. Finn is also another multitalented athlete, enjoying golf, soccer, and softball with Ben and Julia whenever it is warm enough outside.
