Wedding Party

Tiara Holmes

Bride

Tiara grew up in Columbia, KY as the daughter of Doug and Marissa Holmes. She has three older sisters and one younger brother. She attended the University of Kentucky, where she studied kinesiology, but moved to Louisville before completing her degree. This is where she had a total life path change and fell in love with the hospitality industry. She currently works as a bar supervisor at a hotel in downtown Louisville, and enjoys her job most when she gets to travel to open new properties. Her hobbies include developing new drink recipes, baking, gardening, and hiking. If you want to get to know Tiara, strike up a conversation about pop culture, her dogs, or fun places to travel to.

Hunter Heymann

Groom

Hunter grew up in Lexington, KY as the son of Sandy and Marvin Heymann with two older brothers. He attended the University of Kentucky where he studied architecture. He currently works as a gaming manager at a gaming facility (casino lite). His hobbies include golfing, shooting, fishing, woodworking, and bourbon hunting, among many, many, others. If you want to get to know Hunter, you can actually just start rambling... He can talk to a fence post! But some sure fire winners are college football, guns, Pokemon hunting, or nice bourbons.

Nikki King

Maid of Honor

Nikki is currently living in Nashville, TN and working as a hotel manager. She and Tiara met in Louisville, KY through a job they shared. They were fast friends and quickly inseperable. After spending almost every moment together one summer, Tiara knew she was a forever friend, no doubt about it. Nikki is a truly special person. She is such a bright and positive force on this world. Her creativity and care for people around her truly sets her apart. It would be an honor for anyone to have the opportunity to meet her. She is trustworthy, kind, empathetic, talented, and hilarious. Her only downfall is that she's a huge Drake fan, but we can look past that, right? If you want to get to know Nikki, ask her about her artwork or her time at Disney!

Tanner Kirby

Best Man

Kirby is currently in Savannah, GA finishing out his military career with the Army. He and Hunter met in Lexington, KY when Hunter was hosting Dungeons & Dragons events and Kirby tagged along with another player. They quickly bonded over both being athletic nerds, sporadically hanging out beyond playing D&D getting to know one another. After Hunter moved away for some time to live with his mom, Kirby reached out checking up on Hunter. Kirby soon extended an offer that not only led to Hunter getting back on the horse in life but establishing the forever friendship and Kirby as a brother. Kirby is genuinely a good person who truly cares for others. He has an innate ability to push people to being their best selves as well as dropping perfect bombs of humor in any situation. Kirby is an awesome friend and the life of the party in a respectful way. He will never let a moment go dull. I'm sure if you meet Kirby you will have the potential for a great conversation, and walk away with at least a smile.

Hannah Burnett

Bridesmaid

Hannah is currently living in Lexington, KY. She and Tiara met in elementary school where they became fast friends. Hannah was a part of the biggest sense of community Tiara has ever felt, when they formed their core friend group in 6th grade. From then on, they truly experienced life together - all the ups and downs one can imagine. From best friends, to college roommates, to roommates in their first apartment, to adulthood friendship, they've seen it all together. Tiara is thrilled to say the girl who watched her get her first boyfriend is now going to be standing beside her while she marries her husband. Hannah has always been such a dynamic person. She is incredibly mutlifaceted in a way that allows her to connect with people from every walk of life, always in a way that is still genuine and true to herself. She has always been unapologetically herself in a way that draws people in and leaves them curious for more. Hannah's best quality is her unconditional love. She's a very strong, resilient person. She is also so funny and intelligent. She's like an encycolpedia of information on every subject you speak to her about. If you want to get to know Hannah, talk to her about her cats! She is passionate about fostering and rescuing kittens, and her pride and joy is her oldest cat, Morty.

Jason Heymann

Groomsman

Jason is currently living in Chattanooga, TN with his heart in NYC. Jason is an actor currently flourishing as a marketing director in the same company as the the boys' mom. Jason is the oldest brother of the 3 Heymann boys and played a monumental role in Hunter's development of who he is as a person. Jason is ridiculously smart and driven, giving the best advice and coming to the table cool headed and understanding. If you meet Jason you won't regret it, as his compassion shines throughout any conversation. He and his amazing husband James are impeccably family oriented. The two of them combined will surely make anyone smile and feel warm inside. Jason's only flaw as a person is that the board game closet always shrinks each time Hunter visits them. It's always, "Oh we don't play that any more," due to Jason's very competitive nature. For example, the family has opted to outright ban Monopoly to keep the peace.

Haley Robertson

Bridesmaid

Hailey Roberston is currently living in Louisville, KY and working as an esthetician. She and Tiara met in the trenches - bartending together LOL. The camaraderie built from late nights of fast paced teamwork and even later nights of drinking about it built a special bond between two. Tiara could see a lot of herself reflected in Haley and always saw the friendship as a safe place for her to be herself. Haley is one of those people you can laugh with, cry with, or just sit in silence and it still feels comfortable. When you are with her, it feels like you're with family. It's just easy. She has a beautiful soul that is so caring and authentic. When you're in her corner, you always have someone that will go to bat for you. If you want to get to know Haley, she is passionate about her cat Mr. Beans, skincare, and all things witchy.

Miles Heymann

Groomsman

Miles is currently in Chattanooga with Jason and their mom. Miles is phenomenally blessed with some of the best humor and creativity. Miles and Hunter used to fight like Tom and Jerry until Hunter was around 14. He introduced Hunter to so many different music and movie genres including his love for horror films (even though he annoyingly tells Hunter the entire plot 5 minutes into a new film and laughs through majority of the scares). Miles is down to earth, kind, compassionate, and very expressive whether it’s through humor or his master bakery skills. You will have a fun time having a conversation with Miles especially if you know some reality tv shows.

Aaron Filkins

Bridesman

Aaron and Tiara met at a previous job they shared, and actually now work at a different one together. Their friendship started off slowly, but after closing the bar a few times together, their bond was solidified. Aaron is like a lockbox of trust and a canyon filled with dad jokes. His sense of humor and genuine care for the people he loves are Tiara's favorite things about him. He is also an incredibly talented guitar player. Fun fact: he can play anything on the guitar by hearing it just once. If you want to get to know Aaron, ask him about his beautiful family (he has 3 little ones), his favorite guitar, or bonus: the movie he played in.

Mitch McFarland

Groomsman

Mitch is living in Louisville, KY. Since the move, he was Hunter's second true friend, met through Jeramina. Even though Mitch is the oldest of 3 boys, he and Hunter bonded quickly in experiencing similar lives within the family. Mitch is an insanely kind soul with funny quips to lighten any moods. He willingly has come to help Hunter whenever asked and has even given his back to assist building one of Hunter's many extra projects. Mitch is an insanely talented piano player, and we can’t wait to share a glimpse of that during our wedding, as we are very honored that he will be playing a short tune for us. Mitch is an amazing soul and always a comfort to talk with. You won’t regret a conversation or two with him.

Tiara Alonso-Orantes

Bridesmaid

Tiara A-O is currently living in Louisville, KY. She and Tiara H. met while bartending at Moxy. Although they didn't work many shifts together, Tiara H. knew the moment she met her that she wanted to befriend her. She had this super cool, effortless vibe and beauty that Tiara H. adored. Along with having the coolest aura, she has the best sense of humor. She is so easy to talk to and open up to. She's also such a passionate person. It's a treat to be able to watch her eyes light up when she speaks of things she cares about. If you want to get to know Tiara A-O, ask her about her time studying abroad, or gush about your love of martinis together.

Jeramina Franco

Groomswoman

Jeramina was Hunter's very first friend in Louisville, KY. She met Tiara first surprisingly when she worked as a waitress for Agave and Rye. Jeramina and Hunter played tennis a ton throughout his first few years living in Louisville. You will not find a more delicate and kind soul here who is full of love and energy. Jeramina loves fishing and archery and genuinely caring about others, which is probably why she makes a great nurse. If someone were to get injured, Jeramina would be the first person coming to aid, and then would instinctually be there providing continued support and care for that individual. Jeramina never took no for an answer when it came to well being, pushing past Hunter's stubbornness when getting injured. She would buy braces, bring him Tylenol or other medicines, and deliver ‘take care’ packages. What an amazing, beautiful soul within this individual and we are excited for you to get to meet her.

Cayla Duran

Bridesmaid

Cayla Duran currently lives in southern Indiana. She is currently working at a historic hotel in downtown Louisville. She and Tiara met at their previous job. Their friendship has grown slowly and steadily over the years, and she has become such a light in Tiara's life. Cayla is an incredible person. She is so reliable, fun loving, free spirited, and an absolute laugh riot. Her smile is contagious, and she always has a listening ear for anyone who needs it. The world is truly a better place with her in it. If you want to get to know Cayla, you can bond over a love for band or music festivals.

Adam Downs

Groomsman

Adam lives in Lexington, KY. He's Hunter's longest standing friend. Hunter and Adam became friends when Hunter returned to Lexington his sophomore year. It took about a week until they hung out outside of school. Adam loves the outdoors and animals, and like Hunter, he keeps a small zoo within his house. Adam played lacrosse with Hunter and had some great laughs throughout those years, driving around town singing Childish Gambino, going to midnight releases for video games and playing Halo throughout the night, and traveling to multiple states for either framily weekend or a lacrosse event. Now Adam and Hunter occasionally get together over a golf course or snowboarding in West Virginia, but even with the distance, Adam is still just as important to Hunter and the friendship never waivers. Adam experienced a ton of Hunter's life and through it all stayed a consistent and steady friend to keep Hunter grounded, breathing, and okay.

Marissa Holmes

Mother of the Bride

Marissa, who goes by Missy, is Tiara's mom. She lives in Columbia, KY and is absolute joy to the world. She's gentle, kind, funny, and beautiful. Her hobbies include quilting, gardening, and hanging out with her koi fish. She will be accompanied by her husband and step father to Tiara, Allan Trent. Allan is a big fan of tractor pulling, gardening, and taking out his pontoon for a nice relaxing day on the lake. If you want to get to know Missy, ask her about her grandchildren or pets. She's also a big fan of dinner trains!

Sandra Heymann

Mother of the Groom

Sandra, who mostly goes by Sandy, is iconic. She lights up a room with her compassionate energy. She carries on her father’s legacy of being a good person. She acts as a shoulder even a stranger could lean on, actively seeking out making peoples' days, whether she knows them or not. She is momma bear to Jason, Miles, and Hunter and won’t let you forget it. We won’t be shocked if she mentions giving birth to the 1 ounce shy of 11lbs baby Hunter was 3 decades ago. She’s a proud mother, a ridiculously hard worker, and a compassionate individual with strong energy towards the happiness of others. A lot of Hunter's passion and creativity stems from Sandy and was built by her as he grew up. His tenacious spirit is genetically passed down from her and you will see that energy throughout the weekend as she can be the biggest life to the party. She will be accompanied by her lovely husband and step father to Hunter, Rick Wolf. Rick is a kind and gentle man. He's typically a quiet natured person, but if you take the time to listen, you will see that he is just hilarious. He's got a quick wit and an empathetic soul. His strong, calming energy is a perfect compliment to Sandy's outgoing and energetic nature. We are so lucky to have the two of them around for our big special day. If you want to get to know Rick, strike up a conversation about sports! He's a big University of Kentucky fan.

Douglas Holmes

Father of the Bride

Douglas Holmes, who goes by Doug, is Tiara's dad. He is currently living in Columbia, KY. His hobbies include horse back riding and mechanic work. If you want to get to know Doug, ask him about his past with drag racing.

Marvin Heymann

Father of the Groom

Marvin, the cohost to the wedding. A well-spirited man with a ton of wisdom. There isn’t a day Hunter can’t call him and ask him anything. Marvin taught Hunter how to be a man and how to be successful in life. Hunter’s ability to build or create anything stems from Marvin. He pushed Hunter to learn countless things throughout growing up, whether that was how to cook or how to build things like homes from the ground up. He truly taught the “if there is a will, there is a way” without having to use words. Marvin pushes Hunter to be the best man he potentially can and is always standing in his corner helping him climb. He hits every definition of a father to Hunter and more. He will be accompanied by his beautiful wife and step mother to Hunter, Sandy Matthews. She is an extremely well-educated psychologist, a gracious and hospitable host, and an absolute fashionista. Sandy has lived several lives, which makes her a very interesting and well-rounded conversationalist. We are very grateful for both Marvin and Sandy for graciously allowing us to host our wedding in their very own front yard. If you have a chance to speak to these two, drop by, as they are two lovely social butterflies you won't want to pass up.
