Wedding Party

Kate Ingram

Maid of Honor

Kate Jennings Ingram is my sister. She is a permaculture expert who lives in Hawaii, and an expert mushroom forager. She was a professional artist who did large scale paintings and portraits in Asheville before she moved to a tiny island in the middle of the ocean. She loves being outdoors, something we both learned from spending time on my grandparent's farm in Chapel Hill.


Nicole Hudak

Bridesmaid

Nicole is one of the best people I know, and one of my best friends. We met working at a coffee shop, and I quickly learned how much better work is with a good co-worker. That meeting led to countless wine nights, Asheville trips, and summer days sitting out with watermelon whiteclaws at the pool. She is a great mom, a great friend, and the best person with whom to go on an adventure.

Sally Canepa

Bridesmaid

Sally and I grew up together spending long summer days on our grandparent's farm, making flower crowns and riding horses. We always joke that we're twins, and I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding in 2021. She’s a psychologist who lives in Florida with her new husband Colt and my adorable nephew Christopher.


Sonia Smith

Bridesmaid

Sonia is my stepsister. We grew up together in Chapel Hill. She’s currently running her own organic farm in Asheville called Junebug Organics, rock climbing in her free time, and building a tiny house. She knows how to make a delicious chocolate bars and truffles through her job at French Broad Chocolates.

Rebecca Bowman

Bridesmaid

Rebecca is the person I go to when I need an honest opinion. She was our un-official college bartender and made the best pre-party drinks. We met in a spring semester Native American Religion class at Guilford College back in 2015, and became instant friends. There is no one else I would rather have gone on a spring break trip to New Orleans with. She has a beautiful little girl named Marley, and lives with her husband Jesse in Greensboro, North Carolina.


Kate Rich

Bridesmaid

Kate is one of those few people that you meet that are unapologetically themselves. From the first time we met in Art History Class at Guilford College, I knew we were going to be in each other’s lives for a long time. Her impeccable note taking was the reason that I passed that class, and I would wake her up when she inevitably fell asleep during long lectures. She is someone I feel lucky to know, and she and her boyfriend John are proud dog parents to Simon.

Gail Reid Murray

Bridesmaid

Gail Reid is Wait’s cousin, and one of the sweetest people I know. She and Wait have grown up together, and we clicked instantly when I met her. She’s currently studying at NC State Vet School, and she wants to work with small animals.


Adam Mortensen

Best Man

Adam is my best man and brother. Growing up we enjoyed playing sports and doing anything outside. Adam continues to love the outdoors as an avid fisherman and through countless walks in the park with his silver lab, Deacon (aka Taupes). Adam currently lives in Greensboro and is head of purchasing at Camco International.

Brad Biltz

Groomsman

Brad and I first met as freshmen in high school and swiftly became close friends. We spent our summers having fun getting lost on car rides and fishing off the NC coast. After spending some time living in Seattle, Brad and his wife Lisa moved back to NC. They currently live in Asheville with their two boys Bennett and Logan.


Ross McIlwain

Groomsman

Ross and I first met playing soccer in kindergarten. Since then, we have continued to grow our friendship through various sports team, countless sleepovers, and nights at his neighborhood pool. Ross graduated from Furman University and currently lives in Greer, SC with his wife Velma and their daughter Izzy.

Matt Quigley

Groomsman

Matt and I grew up in the same neighborhood and became great friends starting with JV lacrosse. Matt ended up attending UNCW, where we lived together our sophomore year. Matt graduated from UNCG and works with Adam at Camco. When Matt is not working or traveling to Asia for work, he enjoys spending his time on the water at Badin Lake.


Tony Hughes

Groomsman

Tony and I met at UNCW through the Sigma Nu Fraternity. We became very close and ended up living together throughout most of college. If we were not in school or exploring Wilmington, we could often be found on the fields behind our house testing Tony’s homemade drones. Tony and his wife Chaney currently live in Troutman, NC with their twins Charlie and Wyatt.

Josh Gray

Groomsman

Josh and I met in college through Sigma Nu. Realizing that Josh was also from the 336, Winston Salem, we quickly became friends. Josh is currently living in Charlotte with his wife Amy with their two children, John Winston and Kennedy. Josh left the accounting world to start a recruiting firm called “Rising Tides".


Tommy Grant

Groomsman

Tommy is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. We first met in High School and quickly bonded over our love of the Panthers. We continued to grow as friends through Young Life as well as playing lacrosse together. Tommy played football in college at UNC Pembroke as well as UVA Wise. He currently lives in Charlotte with his wife Marissa and their children, Liam and Londyn.

Matt Garrett

Groomsman

Matt and I first met playing soccer when were young. We continued to grow our friendship from elementary school through high school. Along the way he have had many hilarious evenings, and though we no longer play soccer, we do still play on a kickball team together. Matt and his wife Sarah live in Greensboro with their son Liam.
