Hope & Tyler
Wedding Party
Shelby Challberg
Maid of Honor
Shelby and Hope have been inseparable since freshman year P.E. at Oakmont High School. The pair are affectionately referred to as “the twins” in their friend group and it’s true, they do act like sisters. But, they have 16 years worth of secrets to back it up! Shelby is creative, witty, and is always the first to jump up and lend a hand. We are honored to have her stand by our side, as family! Be sure to say hello, she’s a real treat!
Jonathan Heinkel
Best Man
Jonathan met Tyler on the random chance that the two share parents!! As Tyler’s younger and only brother the two are bonded in ways that only brothers could understand. You know the kind- you can poke fun at each other but no one else should. Jonathan is passionate about aviation, has the kindest soul, and comes with a million dollar smile! We are excited to have him and his fiancé, Tyler (we know, it’s confusing) with us all the way from Chicago to celebrate!
Rachel Brown
Matron of Honor
If you read our “how we met”, then you are familiar with Rachel! As Hope’s dearest childhood friend and the mastermind behind this happy matrimony - we couldn’t be more excited to have her standing with us. Hope and Rachel share a deep rooted love for traveling and the culinary arts and always manage to bring food and culture to the forefront of their gatherings. Rachel is a proud cat mama, girl boss, private chef and party aficionado. She’s also a loving partner to the coolest husband around!
Jesse Manzo
Groomsman
This death metal junkie, mosh pit loving, undercover teddy bear has been Tyler’s right hand man since freshman year of college. Mr. Manzo and Tyler lived together at the University of Oregon and have quite a few stories that they...probably shouldn’t share. From starting a fraternity, studying abroad, and always being someone we could count on as a couple. We are excited for you to meet our brother duck, Jesse!
Catelyn Greene
Maid of Honor
Catelyn and Hope became fast friends one random Fourth of July many, many moons ago. They bonded over beers, boys and the occasional firework. After a dream summer full of single shenanigans, it was clear the girls would be besties for life and if you see the two, chances are, Shelby is right along with them. Cate is as sweet as they come, full of fun dentistry facts, and is Hope’s go-to for a good time. They’ve been known to stay out WAY past their bedtime causing trouble but they always get a good story out of it!
Riley Danford
Groomsman
It’s true!! Riley is also an Oregon Duck, but his and Tyler’s brotherly love truly began while studying abroad in Copenhagen Junior Year. The two share a passion for sports, sports business, college sports, sports facts, memorable sports moments, sports games.... you get the idea! They were even lucky enough to work two jobs together; in sports and were roommates during their time at the San Francisco 49ers. They remain close despite Riley moving to Portland to pursue his modeling... I mean...sports business career.
Sharilyn Smyth
Bridesmaid
Bridesmaid and Sister in-love! Sharilyn is Tyler’s oldest sister and one of Hope’s newest built-in besties for life! Sharilyn is a full-time house manager and virtual fitness instructor! She’s also the best mommy to two sweet babes, Everleigh and Weston! She loves to have a good time with a few sips of fireball and treasures her family. We are so excited for you to meet our dancing queen! You’re sure to find her at the reception with her hubby, Nick.
Shawn Rooney
Groomsman
ROOONEYYY! Shawn is Batman to Tyler’s... Batman. Best friends since the high school basketball “dream team” and never slowed down. Literally, they both still play every alumni game over Thanksgiving break #GoRams. These two are always striving for continued greatness on and off the court and can always count on each other when they need a place to land. FLIP CUP, CHAMPIONS!!
Camryn Heinkel
Bridesmaid
Camryn is Tyler’s baby sister and the closest one to beating our collection of passport stamps, if she hasn’t done so already! She is, in fact, as brilliant as she looks! Cami and Hope are quite the duo and shared a sweet sisterly bond from the start. Cami is sure to be found on the dance floor busting every move to the Cupid Shuffle with the rest of the Heinkel Crew. You won’t want to miss it!
Alex Leonard
Groomsman
Our dear Mr. Leonard is devilishly charming and very frat-tastic. As Tyler’s second in command for Kappa Sigma at UO these two have been through some hilarious ventures. Running a fraternity is hard; being an adult is harder but they get through it... together. Alex is 50% travel aficionado, 50% social media influencer and 100% down for a having a good time. He now lives in sunny Los Angeles working for Snapchat!! (duh, right?) But really, he’s the most reliable guy you’ll ever meet.
Eli Benfield
Officiant
We couldn’t think of anyone better suited than Hope’s big brother, Eli, to marry us on our day. As we launched into marital bliss we were excited to have someone as dedicated, loving, and tied to faith as Eli. We know he will lure you in with humor and captivate you with words! When Eli’s not at his day job as the hometown hero, he can be found adventuring with his talented and beautiful wife, Hayley! And our handsome nephew, Callan!
