Kaitlyn Peterson & Austin Huckaby
Wedding Party
Marissa Stinnett
Maid of Honor
Marissa and Kaitlyn met Freshman year through UCLA's Alpha Delta Pi sorority, where they were "twins" by sharing the same "big," Darby. They now have a beautiful friendship and (wait for it)... sisterhood. Marissa was there for every moment of Kaitlyn and Austin's love story-- from hearing about their first date to coordinating a surprise "promise party" as a sorority tradition for couples. Some favorite memories are late night coffee dates, Marvel movie premieres, LA adventures, and literally spending every moment together for years. Marissa loves and gives unconditionally, and she'll be the Maid of Honor of a lifetime!
Matthew Huckaby
Best Man
Austin and Matthew go way back — ever since birth! Over the years they’ve developed a strong friendship, bonding over craft beer and good barbecue. It’s been such a joy for Austin and Kaitlyn to be aunt and uncle to Matthew and Morgan’s two sweet boys, Owen and Caden. Matthew will be the life of the party and the best Best Man!
Rachael Davis
Matron of Honor
Rachael and Kaitlyn met through Cru (Campus Crusade) at UCLA freshman year. They used to spend late nights in the "Croom" (Cru Room) talking about life and all throughout college, they thrived in Westwood with their pizookie dates, trivia nights, and Halloween celebrations. Especially in the past two years, they've shared so many big life moments together! During Rachael's wedding, Kaitlyn was honored to stand next to her as her Maid of Honor. When Austin and Kaitlyn visited them in Dallas, they surprised them by showing their new beautiful home! Kaitlyn is so blessed to have Rachael as her Matron of Honor, who always shows steadfast love and God's love to everyone she meets!
Sean Pierce
Best Man
Sean and Austin were in the same fraternity - Ro Ro Ro (aka, UCLA's rowing team). They became fast friends and soon roommates for three years in college, where they shared many 5am mornings to get to practice. Kaitlyn will always be third wheeling with their close friendship, but there's no one else better suited than Sean to be Austin's best friend.
Julia Stinnett
Bridesmaid
Julia and Kaitlyn have always been close since college, but nothing compares to the sisterhood they have in Christ. It's been the sweetest joy to walk together in faith and learn from each other every step of the way. One of Kaitlyn's favorite memories with Julia is just their long talks about life and love-- and after meeting Julia, you'll know that just one conversation with her can truly change your life for the better!
Gabby Esmailian
Groomsman
Gabby and Austin also met through UCLA rowing and were roommates for three years with Sean -- thus forming the mighty trio. Although he now lives on the East Coast in med school, Gabby has always remained one of Austin's closest friends.
Ali Patterson
Bridesmaid
Ali and Kaitlyn met freshman year during sorority recruitment, where a strong friendship was immediately born. They used to be "neighbors" when living on the same street in their sorority houses, so they used to run over for late night hangouts and dinners. Even in pouring rain sometimes, it was worth the run over! Kaitlyn's most special memory with Ali is attending Church Home with Pastor Judah Smith, one of their favorite pastors. It meant the world to share church together and Kaitlyn is so blessed to have Ali stand by her side on her special day!
James Nguyen
Groomsman
James and Austin met in Mississippi during a KPMG Master's program, and they shared some of the best southern traditions out there! Perhaps the best was attending Ole Miss football games, with tailgates full of chandeliers and fine-cut meat. Here's to many more tailgates in the future, but with Austin as a married man!
Kelli Brookshire
Bridesmaid
Kelli and Kaitlyn met freshman year at UCLA, bonding over their faith and sorority. For years since, they've always held a special bond as they've gotten to watch each other embark on exciting life moments and adventures. They've constantly challenged each other to grow into the women they are today, and Kaitlyn could not be more grateful. As a Southern California belle, Kelli is sure to bring the sweetness, love, and fun that every bride needs on the best day of her life!
Chandler Hilken
Groomsman
Chandler and Austin go way back to the basketball days, and they have remained close ever since for years. Austin has had the privilege of standing next to Chandler's side at his wedding, and now Chandler gets to do the same.
Ruthie Belden
Bridesmaid
Ruthie is perhaps Kaitlyn's oldest friend in her bridal party, as they've been through every up and every down together since freshman year of high school. After playing volleyball together and then staying close throughout college, Ruthie is truly the friend of a lifetime with her genuine kindness and care for everyone she meets. Kaitlyn is beyond thankful for such a special, loyal friend who she knows will continue to be in her life for a very long time.
Annie Fidler
Groomswoman
As the only groomswoman, Annie has a big responsibility at this wedding! Annie and Austin have known each other for years, leaving Bakersfield to attend UCLA together at the same time. Annie and Austin could talk for HOURS about movies, and both Kaitlyn and Austin are so blessed to have her in their lives. She is truly one of a kind!!
Kennedy Walker
Bridesmaid
Kennedy is one of Kaitlyn's oldest friends since high school, and there's a very good reason why-- because Kennedy is one of the kindest, most loving people in the world! Even when life gets busy, Kennedy and Kaitlyn always come back as if nothing has changed. Kennedy's genuine heart and love for life is truly contagious, and Kaitlyn wouldn't have anyone else by her side!
Austin Duffield
Groomsman
Austin— aka Duff— is one of Austin’s oldest friends, bonding during their baseball days and Spanish class. Throughout the years, their friendship has remained strong with sports (and Spanish class nostalgia) at the center of it all.
