Wedding Party
Samantha Ensminger
Officiant
Sam has known Kurt since 1st grade and Harvest since 4th grade. She has been an integral part of our lives growing up and beyond. There is no one who better knows both of us as individuals and our journey together. We are so lucky Sam agreed to be our Officiant!
Ryan Morton
Man of Honor
Ryan has been Harvest's best friend since the 3rd grade. Together, they've seen concerts, traveled across the U.S., and played endless rounds of board games. No one can make Harvest laugh harder than Ry. Sometimes it even feels like they share the same brain. It is an honor and beyond exciting to have Ry stand beside Harvest on the wedding day as the Man of Honor.
Ali Ross
Bridesmaid
Ali and Harvest met in their freshman year of college at Ohio State. They met at a dorm dinner night and realized they lived right next to each other. From there, a friendship was born. All these years later, they both ended up moving to the Bay Area and continue their friendship through double dates, dog walks, and adventuring around the Bay together. A themed event hates to see them coming.
Baillie Resar
Bridesmaid
Baillie and Harvest met when they were working at Sloopy's Diner together during their freshman year of college. Baillie was a line cook, and Harvest worked in the dessert shoppe... and they didn't speak until a year of working together. Thank goodness they ended up chatting because that first conversation sparked years of phone calls, brewery visits, and endless laughter.
Jessica Nelisse-Blankenship
Bridesmaid
Jess and Harvest were fated to become friends. The random roommate lottery paired them together freshman year of college, and they ran with it. They stayed roommates for the 4 years of college and filled their days with pizza, off-key karaoke, and late-night conversations. It's so special that friendship has endured all these years later.
Bia Hart
Bridesmaid
Bia is a true friend and someone who has made Harvest feel so comfortable in making the Bay Area her home over the last few years. They met through their partners, but their friendship transcended that connection due to a shared love of Taylor Swift and bad TV. Now, they talk daily about anything and everything.
Craig Lewis
Best Man
Craig is Kurt's younger brother and Best Man. They grew up together sharing a room, which resulted in lots of fun (and fighting). They never miss a chance to catch up with each other's lives, and Kurt is honored to have Craig stand next to him on the big day.
Cory Lewis
Groomsman
Cory is Kurt's older brother and someone he admires greatly. Cory played a formative role in Kurt's life growing up. They enjoy catching up with one another and hearing about each other's lives in California and Virginia.
Zach Collins
Groomsman
Zach is one of Kurt's friends from college. They met while attending the University of Cincinnati and worked at Siemens together. While Zach lives in Seattle now, they make it a point to visit each other every year and video call regularly to stay in touch.
Noah Bass
Groomsman
Noah is one of Kurt's friends from college. They met while attending the University of Cincinnati where they helped organize the student Hackathon each year. Now that they both live in the Bay Area, they enjoy biking together and visiting local taquerias.
Nate Thompson
Groomsman
Nate is a friend Kurt made when he moved to the Bay Area. They quickly learned they shared an interest in bike riding and regularly get out to bike together on the weekends. They also learned they shared an interest in Lopez Taqueria and often frequent that spot together, too.
