Kayli & Hunter
Wedding Party
Hunter Winghart
Groom
For those of you coming from Kayli's side that may not have had the opportunity to meet Hunter yet, here's a little about him! Hunter is currently studying music education with the plan to pursue a masters and PhD in music composition. He has played violin for 12 years and the saxophone for 7 years and has been rocking the low bass vocals since 8th grade. He was drum major for two years in high school and continues to have a knack at conducting. He loves Star Wars, technology, hikes, our little Lucy, and helping people. "Hunter is one of those people who is so quick to love and so slow to anger. He goes about everything in his life with peace and grace. He's definitely brought out the best in me as we've come closer together. He's been an amazing rock in my life." - Kayli
Kayli Oetken
Bride
For those of you on Hunter's side that haven't had the opportunity to meet Kayli in person, here's a quick bio! Kayli is currently studying Anthropology with the intention of receiving her masters and PhD in Classical/Mediterranean Archaeology. She is currently enlisted into the US Navy as a future sailor and leaves for Basic Training on May 28th (ten days after the wedding). She is signed on as a Hospital Corpsman. She has a passion for global ministry, people, nature, the Lord, and music. "Kayli is the best thing to ever happen to me. I didn't know someone who brought out the best in me like she does existed. She's the most caring, honest, loving, and Godly person I have ever met. She's been the biggest blessing in my life and I couldn't be more excited for our future." -Hunter
Micah Perry
Man of Honor
Meet one of the people that keeps me most sane. Micah has been one of my best and oldest friends as we go all the way back to the daycare days. Having him as one of my Men-Of-Honor was an easy choice.
Thomas Conrad
Man of Honor
My other Man of Honor wasn't a hard choice either. Tom has always been someone that I can talk to even about the wildest things in life. It only made sense for him be there by my side when I start one of the wildest rides of it yet.
Rachael Oetken
Bridesmaid
Like any two sisters, we've had more fights then we can count. Sorry about stealing your clothes all those times.. But Rachael has been one of the most honest and down-to-earth people that have been in my life and it wouldn't be a party without her in it.
Jenna Osbeck
Bridesmaid
Jen and I have literally been across the globe together. Through thick and thin she's been there and I'm so glad she's going to be there for this as well.
Jordyn Osbeck
Bridesmaid
Anyone who has the opportunity to know this girl is beyond blessed. Jordyn is a huge light in every life she touches and we know she will bring so much light and joy to our special day.
Katie Osbeck
Bridesmaid
Katie has more sass in one hip swing finger snap than most people do in the entirety of their body and we LOVE her for it. We've grown particularly close in the last couple of years and I couldn't be more happy to have her stand with me.
Erik Boulware
Best Man
Erik and I have been close friends throughout all of school. But nothing brought us closer together than our lego StarWars collections. And there's no one else better to stand up with me on our wedding day as my Best Man.
Ben Diersen
Groomsman
Ben was my first friend when my family moved to Brookings and we were drum majors together for two years. We've grown together as we've grown older and it was only fitting he stand with me.
Matt Smith
Groomsman
Matt is one of the most funny dudes you'll meet. We've been friends since middle school. His job for the wedding is keeping everyone laughing through it all.
Parker Winghart
Groomsman
Parker tries real hard to grow a beard like me.. maybe one day he'll get there. But I still love the guy.
Karissa Winghart
Groomswoman
Karissa loves everyone whole-heartedly and she may be the most lovable girly-girl (and baker) around.
Megan Winghart
Groomswoman
"Meggy" was my first word as a baby. It was only fitting she stand with me on our special day.
