Kylie & Griffin
Wedding Party
Delanie Hargreaves
Maid of Honor
Delanie is not only my little sister, but also our roommate! I have loved getting to live in the same state as Lanie after 9 long years away from each other. She has the biggest heart in our family and is always looking out for her friends and family. Growing up we shared a common interest of volleyball and since moving to Utah that has expanded to skiing, hiking, and finding the best cold brew in the state. If you know Lanie you know that we are complete opposites, but that is what makes our bond so special. There is no one else in the world I would rather have standing next to me on my wedding day. Fun fact: When Lanie was born my parents let me choose her middle name and I originally wanted her to be Delanie POCOHANTAS Hargreaves. Unfortunately, they said no and I settled on Nicole:)
Eric Holmberg
Best Man
Eric Holmberg, or as our high school ball club affectionately refers to him - "Lumberg" (see Office Space), has been one of my best friends since Junior year of high school. Our friendship grew immensely when I transferred to UC Davis in 2012, where Eric had been studying since 2009. Many hot summer Davis days were spent on Eric's roof in east Davis, drinking Coors Lights and talking about life. It sounds cliché, but Eric is the type of friend you can call at any hour of the day, and you know he'd drop everything to help you out and be there for you. I couldn't imagine taking this step in my life without him by my side. Fun fact: Eric is an avid fly fisherman - in fact - he caught a beautiful brook trout his first day visiting us in Utah! (pictured above)
Kristin Grissom
Maid of Honor
Kristin was my roommate all four years of college and Wake Forest Volleyball teammate! Kristin and I have been through it all together and she is truly the greatest person I know. Her calm and quiet demeanor perfectly balances my wild and loud personality :) My best memories with Kristin were working our butts off 6 days a week with school and volleyball and then every Sunday we would clean our apartment, watch trash TV, and then have family dinner. She is one of the most important people in my life and I can't imagine getting married without her by my side!! Fun Fact: After graduation I moved to San Francisco and Kristin moved to Utah. Now I live in Salt Lake City and she is in The Bay Area!
Anthony Amara
Groomsman
Anthony and I have a long friendship dating back to little league, but our bond really started to develop in high school, where we became close friends during our section championship run in baseball. Anthony was a star pitcher on our team, and myself - being a designated hitter - led to us spending countless hours in the dugout where we were able to forge a really important friendship. In 2012, when I transferred to UC Davis, Anth and I became roommates while he pursued his college baseball career in Sacramento. I can't imagine spending my formative years as a young adult with anyone else. Anth is, and always will be, a very important person in my life. Fun fact: Both of our dads knew each other at UC Davis in the 1970's, before either of our families decided to settle in Auburn.
Kathryn Reale
Bridesmaid
I met Kathryn when I moved to San Francisco after college and had a desk next to her while working at Yelp. We became fast friends and after a few months she introduced me to her friend from high school... Griffin! We absolutely adore Kathryn and cherish all the amazing memories the three of us share (Salt&Pepper&Cumin). Kathryn is always up for an adventure (Tahoe, Nashville, and Austin to name a few...) but is also down to veg on the couch with a face mask and good glass of wine. Kathryn is such a blast and we can't wait to have her next to us on our big day! Fun Fact: Kath does an excellent Cher impression and we can't wait for her to show you all at the after party ;)
Sean Collins
Groomsman
Sean Collins is probably one of the funniest/happy-go-lucky people you will ever meet in your life. Our friendship really took off in high school, though we've known each other since elementary school (R.I.P. Alta Vista). Sean is one of those friends that you can reach out to no matter how bad or stressful your day is and can turn it around with his infectious positive attitude. He was a big support system for me when I transferred to UC Davis from community college, and I couldn't be more grateful for his friendship. If you get a chance to meet him at the wedding, he truly is unforgettable. Fun fact: Sean is a proficient piano player, some call him a modern day Beethoven.
Melissa Zornig
Bridesmaid
Melissa and I have been close friends since high school. We share an extreme passion for sports and that is what has continued to bond us over the years. When Griffin and I moved to Newport Beach we began hanging out with Melissa and her awesome boyfriend, Mario! The four of us even went camping in Yosemite where we came in close contact with a giant bear! I love Mel because she is so easy going and we are always laughing when we are together. She recently moved to Austin, TX and I can't wait to go visit her in her new home and have her come explore Utah! Fun Fact: Melissa played basketball at UCSB but then played a few years overseas in Germany and Iceland!
Andy Riggs
Groomsman
Andy and I became fast friends our freshman year of high school. When we first met, I was wearing a Cal Bears hat and an Oregon Ducks shirt, and he, being a recent transplant from Klamath Falls, Oregon probably thought to himself "who the HELL is this kid." We didn't have a whole lot in common sports-wise, Andy being a tennis stud and me playing baseball/football, but for what we didn't have in common with sports - we made up for in friendship. Andy is an amazing friend: loyal, talented, smart, and most importantly - caring. I couldn't be more grateful for him and I'm so excited for him to share this day with us. Fun fact: Andy is a fantastic tennis player. He played at American River College in Sacramento (also nicknamed Andy Riggs College) as well as Whitman College in Washington.
Caitlyn Butler
Bridesmaid
Caitlyn is one of my oldest friends and we met in the 5th grade when I moved to Ladera Ranch! I love Caitlyn because even though we went to college on opposite sides of the country, when I moved back to Newport Beach it was like no time had passed at all! She is one of the easiest people to talk to (we text probably every 5 minutes... sorry Kevin & Griff), always down to ride bikes on the Peninsula and makes an incredible cocktail! Not only is Caitlyn one of my best friends, our moms are also besties and our dads play beach volleyball together and I love that!!! Fun Fact: Caitlyn and I would walk to Starbucks way more than we would like to admit in middle school which inevitably sparked my caffeine addiction... Thanks Cait!
Spencer Zaputil
Groomsman
Spencer and I have been good friends since our sophomore/junior year of high school, where we bonded over our love of playing baseball and the San Francisco Giants. We spent countless hours at first base taking grounders together, which led to us becoming close friends. Throughout college, we always made it a point to stay in touch, and I was able to visit Spencer a few times down in Santa Barbara. Even now, with Spence living on the East Coast, I feel like no time has been lost when we catch up. He's one of those friends I know will always be in my life, and I couldn't be more grateful for him. Fun fact: Spencer probably has the most dirt on me from high-school. If you get a chance to talk to him at the wedding, you may be able to get a funny story or two out of him.
Meghan Harman
Bridesmaid
I met Meghan on our first day of high school when we discovered our lockers were right next to each other! Meghan is such a sweetheart that when we met and I called her Maggie she didn't correct me :) I love Meg because she is even more competitive than I am but has the biggest heart and would do anything for her friends and family. We have had so many fun weekends together and I have her to thank for finally convincing me to experience Stagecoach! Meghan is getting married next September (#coronabride) and I can't wait to stand by her side while she marries the man of her dreams- and I can't imagine marrying mine without her by my side! Fun Fact: Meghan and I played volleyball together junior and senior year of high school but her main sport was softball- STUD!!
Matt Ross
Groomsman
Matt and I have known each other for a long time dating back to little league, but our friendship really formed in high school where we were teammates in both baseball and football. Matt, as our quarterback and me, as an offensive lineman, meant that Matt had to have a lot of trust in me to execute my assignments - so that he and our backfield could work their magic. Our friendship has grown over the past few years as Matt has been in charge of organizing our HS baseball team's annual Kings game extravaganza every Christmas. Some of my best memories include Matt, and I couldn't be happier to call him one of my closest friends. Fun fact: Matt is a die-hard San Diego sports fan (sorry about the Chargers, buddy).
Kelly Harman
Bridesmaid
I have known Kelly since high school through her sister, Meghan, but became very close when we started working together a few years ago. Kelly is the person I go to when I am having a hard day because of her compassion and sounding advice! Long work days would have been impossible without Kelly a few desks down and then spending almost every weekend together on top of that. I love Kelly because we are die hard sports fans and we have some of the best memories together! I miss seeing her every day but I can't wait to stand by her side when she marries her soulmate soon. Fun Fact: Kelly and I used to go to Orangetheory Fitness every Friday at lunch. I miss my workout buddy A LOT!
Joel Thys
Groomsman
Joel and I have been friends since Junior year of high school, when I was pulled up to play varsity baseball. Joel was a 4-year starter on varsity as a catcher, and he, being one of the more sought after college recruits from our area, has always been someone who I've looked up to. We became fast friends. Living in the same neighborhood, we spent countless hours playing Call of Duty (that's how we stayed out of trouble!), and developed a great foundation. In college, we never lost touch. Joel went on to play college baseball, as I pursued my education in Sacramento and Davis, but we've always managed to keep tabs on each other and I couldn't be happier to call Joel one of my best friends. Fun fact: Joel was drafted in the 2013 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks and is also a Veteran.
Chanel Ravera
Bridesmaid
I met Chanel a few years ago when Griff and I moved to Newport Beach and we became coworkers. We became fast friends mostly because Chanel is the sweetest person I have ever met and has the most infectious laugh! Our daily walks and trips to Whole Foods were what bonded us and our boozy brunches is what solidified our friendship. I love Chanel because even though I don't get to see her every day anymore we are in constant contact and when I am having a bad day she is always the first to call! Chanel has also replaced me on our daily walks with my own mother- GASP! Fun Fact: Chanel does NOT love sports but I still love her anyways :)
Jake Lopez
Groomsman
Jake and I, as with many of my other groomsmen, formed our bond through baseball and football at Placer. Some of my best sports memories involve Jake, however, our friendship isn't defined merely by high school sports. Living in the same neighborhood, Jake would often have our friend group over to his place where we would play poker, celebrate New Year's, and decompress after football or baseball games. We made some amazing memories in "the basement." When Jake moved out to Boston to attend college, he'd invite us out to see him and I was lucky enough to visit BC a few times. I'm very grateful to call Jake one of my closest friends, and I couldn't be more excited to share this day with him. Fun fact: Jake is a huge Kenny Chesney fan. The picture above is of us at his concert in Philly.
Mitchell Bender
Officiant
Mitch is not only dating Kylie's younger sister, but he is also our 4th roommate in Utah. Over the past year we have gotten to know and love Mitch for his easy going spirit and love for all outdoor activities. We asked Mitch to officiate our wedding during quarantine because he has been a very calming presence around our house during an incredibly stressful time. Neither of us have a brother, but have both come to see Mitch as one and can't think of a better way to thank him for putting up with us :) Fun Fact: Mitch is an AMAZING skier and has helped us both improve immensely! Hit him up before the wedding if anyone wants to shred "The Greatest Snow on Earth"
