Ashley & Gustavo
Wedding Party
Bryan Hernandez
Officiant
Bryan and Gustavo met at the University of Oregon where they quickly became friends in great part because of all the similar interests they share. Their love of soccer, good food and good times has kept them close ever since they first hit it off. In addition to loving soccer, Bryan is a big fan of chess, a great infographic and throwing a good party! There's not a 0% chance that he one day becomes the coach of Bayern Munich FC so if you haven't gotten the pleasure to chum him up yet, make sure you get him while he's still humble.
Monse Feria
Maid of Honor
Monse and Ashley met through Gus, but honestly would have been friends anyway. Fun facts about Monse: she's a wing connoisseur, a big traveler, and a Broncos fan for life (if it hasn't happened by the time you're reading this I think Monse would say today would be a great day to fire Vic Fangio).
Ricky Carrasco
Best Man
Ricky and Gustavo met right before high school, and throughout high school their friendship grew tremendously while playing soccer, running track and pretty much doing whatever they could together. Although they live on opposite coasts, their friendship has remained strong. Ricky is a huge Broncos fan, is a great chef, and has some wicked dance moves! Keep an eye on him as he busts many moves on the dance floor ;)
Andy Saldivar
Best Man
Andy and Gustavo have been friends since they can remember. They grew up doing everything together and their friendship has continued to grow stronger each year. Andy is a big fan of the Broncos, the state of Texas, and country music, and you can always count on him to give it his all - whether you're in a pickle or just trying to have a good time, he'll be there! He’s been recently trying to break into the stand up comedy scene so if he tries a joke, please be kind.
Taylor Astiz
Groomsman
Taylor and Gustavo met at University of Oregon where they were told to become best friends as they were trying to bring back a fraternity to campus and help it grow. They took that seriously and started hanging out together all the time, and they haven’t stopped since. Taylor is an aspiring cicerone, loves ultimate frisbee, enjoys gardening, and listening to all types of music - especially in record form. We tried to get him as our DJ but was way over our budget unfortunately.
Amelia Turnquist
Bridesmaid
Amelia and Ashley met as two kids who didn't know anything, but did know how to play softball (sort of). Fun facts about Amelia: she loves an animal print, absolutely shreds on the wakeboard, and is a fashion icon.
Adam Herbers
Groomsman
Adam and Gustavo met at the University of Oregon. Similar to many of the groomsmen, they enjoyed many great times through their fraternity, but even more so as roommates. They enjoyed watching sports, SVU, and attending Ducks games together so much that they decided to do the whole roommate thing for three years (second only to Ashley). When Adam isn’t shaping the youth he is most likely enhancing his Magic skills, stressing about fantasy football or enjoying some nice sake and sushi.
Sarah Roundtree
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Ashley were "forced" to be friends by a mutual close friend (s/o Alison Legge) and quickly became close friends themselves. Fun facts about Sarah: she lives in State College, PA (a real place), is getting a PhD (yes, she's really smart), and is just about the kindest person you'll even meet.
Michael Luna
Groomsman
Michael and Gustavo also met at the University of Oregon (you probably could have guessed that by now). They too hit it off while they were in their fraternity, and their friendship continued to blossom as they became coworkers and worked closely for three years giving tours of the U of O. Michael will most likely be leading Disney into its next great chapter! When he’s not watching or thinking about all things Disney, he’s most likely planning a great party, being a fashion icon or sipping on something nice while on the phone with a friend or family member.
Olivia Jamison
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Ashley met in Eugene (sco Ducks) and became close friends right here in Portland. Fun facts about Olivia: she hates tomatoes, is in charge of a *competitive* Bachelor bracket, and can teach you how to do the "wobble" in 10 minutes flat.
Chris Ablidinger
Groomsman
Chris and Gustavo met their freshman year at the University of Oregon (GSH 2ND CENTRAL FOR LIFE!). They quickly became great friends as they bonded over their love of soccer, passion for the heart of the cards and their endless curiosity about the world. Chris is perhaps the biggest Portland Trailblazers fan in existence, will probably go down as a legend in the ad world and is great at karaoke! If we're lucky maybe he'll do a little tune for us.
Kate Ramirez
Bridesmaid
Kate and Ashley met through Olivia, and really bonded over said *competitive* Bachelor bracket. Fun facts about Kate: she can tell you where to get the best oat milk latte, will only book an Airbnb if there's a hot tub in the back, and is a Formula 1 fanatic.
Avery Ballato
Groomsman
Avery and Gustavo met at the University of Oregon - also a part of the GSH 2nd Central crew! Avery is one of the easiest guys to connect with and instantly like. When he's not helping you pursue your life goals (huge hype man) he's probably impressing you with some interesting piece of history or fact, exploring the depths of reddit or based on his picture probably scheming up how to take over the world, but, like in a good way you know? Like we'll be better off for it (probably).
Jaedin Feist
Bridesmaid
Jaedin and Ashley are cousins who enjoy brunching together! Fun facts about Jaedin: she's a makeup influencer, loves Dutch Bros as much as Ashley, and is growing up so fast :')
Martin Harris
Groomsman
Martin and Gustavo were blessed to be roommates their freshman year at the University of Oregon (that little survey U of O has you do, yeah, they knocked it out of the park on this one!). Of course another member of the GSH 2nd Central crew. It was truly friendship at first sight. When Martin isn't swooning every single person (without really meaning to) he's probably out in nature adding to his rock collection, posterizing some poor fool at a basketball court or shredding some pow. If you get a chuckle out of him at the wedding, know that is one of the biggest compliments there is.
Kristjan Bjornson
Groomsman
Kristjan and Gustavo met at the University of Oregon. He too is a part of the GSH Second Central crew! They really hit it off when they had a little gym sesh and from there they’ve continued to push each other in all sports and in life. You’ll most likely find Kristjan outdoors. He loves to be one with nature and is up for all outdoor activities! Some of his favorites are biking, skiing, camping, surfing and drinking a beer outside with friends as everyone soaks up some sun! He loves to spark up a conversation about the most interesting of topics so if you’re looking to chat through some curious topics, he’s your guys!
Dillon Murphy
Groomsman
Dillon (or Dilly Dilly! as the streets call him) and Gustavo met at the University of Oregon. They met while working for the U of O where they pretty much just got to walk around and tell everyone how awesome the school is. They quickly became close friends in large part because of their love for the Ducks, most sports (only the cool ones), and HIMYM. When Dillon isn't having an absolutely LEGEN-DARY night with friends, he's probably (with Adam) stressing about fantasy football, balling up or running, or creating a delish mixed drink! Luckily for him he just gets to enjoy them at the wedding.
Baxter
Will not be attending
Baxter met Gustavo & Ashley at the Oregon Humane Society and ever since then has made their lives so much messier, happier, and cuddlier. Baxter's grandma requested he not attend the wedding...and we agree - he gets nervous in big groups (but who doesn't, little guy?).
