Wedding Party
Hollie Michelle Berg
Bride
Hollie is incredible. From the moment I met her, I knew I was going to marry her (forecasted that one pretty well). She has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known, and she knows how to use it. She spills joy out in every action she takes. She's spontaneous every chance she gets, and never fails to liven up a sad time! With her, I feel God's immense love. Hollie is full of light, carries herself in the most genuine way, and never fails to make laughter spread. She will also make sure that her precious Aggies are well cheered for! I have never been happier than when I am with her. If you're lucky, she'll break out those "H-Town till you drown" style dance moves. Hollie is pure gold, and I can't wait for forever. Sincerely, Your Hunter.
Hunter Austin Galluzzo
Groom
A few words to describe Hunter would be: dependable, kind, servant-hearted, and hardworking. These are just a few things Hollie fell in love with about him! Hunter is currently working on a Bachelor's Degree in Agriculture Education at the University of Wyoming to pursue a career as an ag teacher to one day impact the lives of students through being a light for Christ in the classroom. Hunter is known by many different titles, a few notable ones being: a leather toolin' fool, the world's greatest buffalo cowboy, Chris Ledoux's number one fan, an expert pasta maker, the only person to have every line of Top Gun memorized, and most importantly, the person who remembers where Hollie left her keys. While Hollie hopes to convert him as an Aggie, he will always be a Wyoming cowboy at heart.
Addison Elstner
Maid of Honor
If you looked up "queen" in the dictionary, Addy's picture would be in the description. Although they started off as teammates, Addy instantly became one of Hollie's best friends. She knows all things chickens, Lady Gaga, German heritage, and pop culture. Addy is the health nut and world traveler of their friend group. She has a heart of gold hidden behind her spunky personality. She is just as beautiful on the inside as she is out. Hollie believes although she never wanted a big sister, she got Addy anyways and could not be more grateful for the memories and coffee runs they've shared. Hollie swears that one day Addy will be the world's next leading food scientist.
Garrett Hartigan
Best Man
From the early high school years, Garrett and I have been great friends. We have travelled the nation, eaten WAY too much McDonald's, and always laughed our way through difficult times. You can sing like your life depends on it, and I love how well we have synched our Chili's orders to always let us get that wonderful chips and queso. Garrett is a lifelong brother to me, and I can't wait to have him beside me on my special day!
Emily Purdy
Maid of Honor
Not only does Emily live five feet from Hollie's bedroom, but she's Hollie's 'college mom.' Hollie loves to listen to all of Emily's crazy stories about people in her hometown. They share a mutual love for baking, yelling at Clayton, shopping at H-E-B, and eating chips and queso. Emily keeps Hollie humble by never letting her forget when she wakes up late or works on homework last minute. While she may be full of sass, it is apparent that Emily will go above and beyond for her friends and family. She keeps everyone laughing and is one of the most thoughtful people Hollie knows. Emily's favorite phrase to Hollie and Hunter is, "Y'all are so cute it makes me sick."
Trey Campbell
Best Man
Without Trey, we wouldn't be here. As fate so happens, Trey met Hollie years ago at the Washington Leadership Conference. Fast forward to our State Officer days, Trey and I grew very close. Hollie and I met through the wonderful work of Trey's Love Birds Inc. Trey has been a wonderful friend and roommate to me, and I look forward to many more 2 McDoubles and a Hot&Spicy orders. You're a rock, and I'm thankful for you more than words can say.
Annie Valicek
Bridesmaid
It would be no surprise to see Annie 'make it big' one day. She is dedicated and always willing to work hard to reach her goals. Hollie can always count on Annie to hold her accountable in her faith and always willing to celebrate the success of others around her. The day Hollie met Hunter, Annie was one of the first people to find out and has been their #1 supporter ever since. Out of all things Annie would like people to know about her is that she loves her family above all and will always take cranberry juice as her drink of choice. If you see Annie around at the wedding, be sure to ask her about fracking.
Zach Auer
Groomsman
One day, Zach had a crazy idea to start a mens bible study. This turned into one of the most valuable times of my life. While tending to buffalo together, Zach and I got very close. We fixed miles of very difficult electric fence, mixed countless buffalo supplies of mineral, and TRIED to keep the shop as clean as possible. Through what must have been 635 hours of sweeping over a summer, Zach and I became brothers. He was there from the very beginning of Hollie and I's journey. Zach and Kinlie have been amazing role models and friends for our relationship, and I know they'll bring the party.
Lauren Jenkins
Bridesmaid
Out of anyone Hollie knows, she believes Lauren is truly the most honest. She is free-spirited and brightens the room every time she walks in. Hollie swears that Lauren cried more for the proposal than the engaged couple combined. Lauren is the makeup queen and always knows somebody every time the two go somewhere. Hollie claims that Lauren is one of her longest friends from FFA and loves all of the memories the two have made together. Lauren will always stand up for what is right and let's everyone know so. Lauren is currently at Blinn College working to earn a degree in Agribusiness with a minor in Criminal Justice.
Bryce Funk
Groomsman
When I was a senior in high school, I received a Facebook message from Mr. Funk. He was reaching out for a short biography and picture to post on the University of Wyoming's ATA social media. Before I even knew, Bryce believed in future teacher me. He walked with me while I learned, and pumped me up on the day I met Hollie in person for the first time. He also put great amounts of hair gel in my beard to make sure it looked absolutely PERFECT in Hollie's eyes. Bryce has been a great friend to me, and I look up to Bryce and Abby greatly.
Carlye Winfrey
Bridesmaid
While she may be small in stature, she is big in brains and personality. To know Carlye is to love her. She always has the best music, coffee shop, and book recommendations. Hollie admires Carlye's spunk and desire to learn about the people and places around her. She pushes others to learn and is always willing to step out of her comfort zone to try new things. Hollie is convinced her and Carlye will one day travel through Colorado and the Pacific Northwest together. She is attending Texas Tech University, majoring in Political Science and Ag Communications. And yes, before you ask, that is her natural hair color.
Casey Pushchak
Groomsman
One time, Casey and I shared a particularly violent wrestling practice. We were clubbing each other, doing anything we could to make the other realize we were stronger, and almost even broke into a fist fight. Right after that practice, we shared McDonald's strawberry banana smoothies. That friendship grew into working together and hanging out almost every day in high school. Casey invited me to church for the first time. We've read Revelations until 3 am in bedrolls under the stars, blacksmithed at CFD, and done some not-so-OSHA-approved shop techniques. I'm so thankful you're here with me today.
Bre Bailey
Bridesmaid
There is no doubt that Hollie and Bre are complete opposites, but they are soul sisters. What Hollie loves the most about Bre is that she always brings her true self no matter who she is with and is always willing to take bold risks. Bre is currently attending Tarleton State University, majoring in Animal Science with a concentration in Beef Production and a minor in Ag Comm. Although her goofy personality is what most people see on the surface, Bre has one of the biggest hearts and will fight for the people she loves. When she's not impressing you with her good looks, she can be found in the cattle barn at any time of the day and will always have her Gucci belt near by.
Fischer Galluzzo
Groomsman
It's safe to say Fischer has been my friend the longest. Having him as my little brother has made me more proud than anything. Fisch has always pushed me to be better, work harder, and have fun. I'll never forget eating our first Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant together in Massachusetts. While Hollie may have have met you during one of the rare occasions of you helping dad with the cows, she still easily found a way to love you too. You're the best brother I could ever ask for. I can't wait to have you standing next to me where we'll have a great view of Mom crying her heart out. I love you, Little Fisch.
Clayton Elbel
Bridesman
If you asked Hollie who she has the most missed calls from, the answer will always be Clayton. He never fails to show up to eat all the leftovers or fall asleep on the couch in the living room. These two can be found listening to Taylor Swift or eating pasta together. Hollie knows Clayton as one of the most driven and successful people she knows. He always challenges others to think outside the box and isn't afraid to ask hard questions. He gives 100% in everything he does. Clayton is majoring in Agricultural Economics and is the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggies. Be on the lookout for Clayton's Presidential Campaign in the coming years.
Amelia Stavinoha
Bridesmaid
Hollie may not have any siblings, but there is no doubt that Amelia and Hollie must have been twins separated at birth. Amelia is kind hearted, the best listener, and the world's finest party planner. Hollie has never met another person who shares the same love for Harry Potter like Amelia does. When Hunter and Hollie need a party planner or personal interior decorator- Amelia will be the first person they call. Amelia never fails to be an encourager and a friend to all. She will go above and beyond to serve those around her and always makes others feel welcomed by her warm, glowing presence!
Poppy
Dog of Honor
While Hollie may have been Poppy's favorite at first, she immediately fell in love with Hunter when the two were introduced. She loves playing fetch with her paw-rents, chasing her tail, and barking at the other neighborhood dogs. Poppy is excited for all the belly rubs and treats she will get on wedding day.
