Ashlei Livingston
Maid of Honor
Ashlei is my only sister, and the oldest of the 5 siblings! She is an amazing Special Education teacher, and has been a wonderful role model and someone I've always looked up to! Having her as my maid of honor was the easiest decision I ever made!
Jack Green
Best Man
Jack is Ryan's only brother and sibling. Since their youth, they've always been very close and shared their love for sports and video games throughout the years. Ryan constantly came to visit Jack at Truman, and even though they live in separate states to this day, they've never let that change their relationship with each other! Ryan feels incredibly lucky to have his best friend be his brother, and now his best man!
Rachel Rhoades
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I met through club volleyball, and we have been inseparable ever since! Rachel is the best teacher and a volleyball coach in Texas, and has been one of my best friends for 8 years! Long distance and busy schedules has nothing on our friendship! I'm grateful for our many memories and vacations we've spent together on and off the court! She is a strong willed and amazing person, that I can't wait to have stand by my side on our big day!
Austin Perry
Groomsman
Austin (aka Pablo) and Ryan met playing AAU basketball for Kingdom Hoops. From there, both Austin and Ryan ended up both rooming and playing basketball together at BVU, and have been like family ever since! One of Ryan's favorite memories with Pablo is visiting him in Arizona and having a good time after not seeing him for a few months! Ryan and Pablo are almost carbon copies of each others personalities, and even though the conversations have switched from beer to how they mow their lawns, these two's bond is as tight as ever.
Ambria Whitlock
Bridesmaid
Ambria was one of my roommates for three years in college, and we played collegiate volleyball together! I've loved nothing more than to walk into her room randomly and have long talks or movie nights! We've grown super close over the years, and is one of the most loyal and kind humans I've met! Despite the distance since leaving college, we still manage to have face time dates! Having her as one of my bridesmaids was a no brainer!
Kennedy Childers
Groomswoman
Both Kennedy and Ryan's family have been close family friends for a long time- not to mention her older brother was the same age as Ryan- so naturally these two were close from the get-go! They both played for the same AAU basketball program, and while their love of basketball took them in different directions collegiately, their friendship and brother-sister relationship never faltered.
Claire Kirk
Bridesmaid
Claire and I met through high school volleyball, and ever since then we've gone on so many wonderful adventures together! She is my go to concert/festival buddy, and is going to make one heck of a lawyer some day! The sweetest girl with the most admirable free-spirit out there, I'm lucky to have her as one of my bridesmaid!
Keith McClure
Groomsman
Keith and Ryan met while they both worked for Fed-Ex. While working together, they both found that they had a ton of commonalities and interests, and began a friendship outside of work, becoming skate buddies and spending a lot of time playing video games together in Keith's game room. Between working at Fed-Ex and Natural Grocer's together, and spending every other weekend at some points hanging out at the vintage video game bar, these two will have a friendship that lasts a lifetime!
Elle Renault
Bridesmaid
Elle and I played collegiate volleyball together, and grew close over late night hang outs and bus rides! She has been such a rock for me throughout my many phases at college, and is a loyal and an admirable god-loving human! She excels at everything she does, and I know no matter what she has my back through thick and thin! I can't wait to have her celebrate our day with us!
Jalen Henningsen
Groomsman
Jalen and Ryan met in college, where they became fast friends, and have become inseparable ever since! He is an amazing DJ, and one of the kindest people out there! He has become such a close family friend, and we love having him be the best uncle to our dog Murphy! Ryan knew it was a no brainer having him as his one of his groomsmen!
Lauren Wacker
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I roomed together all four years at college, and we were attached at the hip from freshman year forward. Neither of us could go anywhere alone without someone asking where the other half of the duo was at some points! Wack is one of the funniest and driven people I know, (the best ICU nurse in the state of Texas) and my day would not have been complete if I didn't have her by my side!
Kwame Antwi
Groomsman
Kwame and Ryan met while they both were playing their respective sports at BVU. Kwame became one of the 4 musketeers at Buena Vista- Jalen, Ryan, Austin, and Kwame- who spent their days playing GTA, Fifa, Lawn Golf and drinking. Even though Kwame's talents in soccer has lead him to Denver, and Ryan stayed local in Des Moines, they always make time to see each other and keep their friendship strong!
