Wedding Party
Nathan and Haley Rise
Best Man and Maid of Honor
Hunter and Nathan met playing League of Legends and quickly went from random teammates to lifelong friends. For the past eleven years, they’ve talked every day, growing alongside each other through every stage of life. Along the way, they became co-DMs for the Dungeon Babies D&D group, building worlds and stories together just like they’ve built their friendship: on trust, creativity, and a lot of laughs. Nathan has seen Hunter go from a random League of Legends friend to someone with a beautiful life. Through it all, Nathan has been a constant in Hunter’s life, which is why there’s no one else he’d rather have standing beside him as his best man. Maggie and Haley met through Hunter and Nathan two years ago. They started playing games online together with other members of the bridal party. Haley is an incredibly warm and welcoming person who also shares the same sense of humor as Maggie, so it was no wonder that they became quick friends. Haley is incredibly loyal, quick to celebrate your successes, and even faster to be there with a joke or words of wisdom when you're down. When it came down to choosing a Maid of Honor, it was a no-brainier to ask Haley.
Chris and Jordan Walker
Groomsman and Bridesmaid
Chris and Hunter became friends through the DnD group that he DMs for with Nathan. Along with bonding over DnD they became swift friends through their love of soccer. They started a weekend tradition where they would meet up to watch Premier League soccer every weekend and root for their own favorite teams and mainly the downfall of Arsenal. The soccer weekends helped create an incredible friendship and they still wake up at 6:30 in the morning to watch soccer together. Maggie and Jordan started being friends through the DnD Group. Despite living states apart and not seeing each other in person, they have managed to become good friends through talking about Animal Crossing and DnD. Jordan is incredibly smart and thoughtful, often being one of the first women in the girls' group chat to offer support or recommend a new book for someone, specifically curated to their tastes. A growing friendship that is still blooming, and it's very exciting to have her in the wedding party!
Jim and Kinsey Pile
Groomsman and Bridesmaid
Jim is another member of the DnD group who became fast friends with Hunter over the years through video games, DnD, and now soccer. Jim made a similar mistake in becoming a fan of Tottenham Hotspur, and the two have trauma-bonded together. From random game nights, to watching soccer, and rolling dice on Fridays. Jim has been a constant friend and a wonderful person to be around. Kinsey is also a part of the girls' game nights and DnD group. Kinsey has amazing music taste and is incredibly creative, as seen through her starting her own campaign as a DM and the characters she has created in our own DnD group. She is also one of the funniest people Maggie has ever met, frequently leaving her cackling and wiping tears from her eyes during their game nights. It wouldn't be a bridal "party" without Kinsey being a part of it.
Eric Hildebrand & Margaret Rox
Groomsman and Bridesmaid
Eric Hildebrand made his mark with Hunter by being one of the funniest people he's ever met. Eric's humor and overall positive attitude can make everything seem that much better. He is a part of the big DnD friend group and one of the most amazing DnD players. Eric is such an essential part of the wedding party and friend group, no matter how in the dumps things get Eric always seems to find a way to brighten it up and make everyone laugh! Hunter and Maggie couldn't be more happy to have him be apart of the wedding party. Margaret is the other Dr Margaret in the DnD group. Maggie and Margaret met at a rock climbing gym on a double date with Hunter and Eric. After their initial meeting, they quickly began playing games together with the other women of the bridal party. Through their time playing games together, Maggie had grown to admire and appreciate how incredibly smart and quick-witted Margaret is. She is always down to try something new, and is currently participating in a women's "learn to play" hockey league with Maggie. Couldn't ask for a better teammate and woman to be in our wedding party.
Tyler Slawter
Groomsman
A wonderful human that is a constant bright person. Tyler always seems to bring a good time where he is. Tyler and Hunter became friends though the big DnD group. Playing video games together and enjoying sports. Tyler will always know how to start a party and his infectious laugh and smile will make the wedding that more fun!
Jess Cervantes
Bridesmaid
Jess and Maggie found each other when they both decided to rush a sorority at CSU Channel Islands, in search of trying to try and make some new friends their freshman year of college. While they both ultimately ended up leaving the sorority, they have remained close friends over the years. Through long-distance moves, breakups, graduations, and new jobs, they have been there for each other through all of life's highs and lows, and I'm excited to have her stand by me in this next adventure.
Clay Greene
Groomsman
Clay gave the first seal of approval for Hunter and Maggie's relationship in the Greene family. Hunter and Clay have bonded over hockey, with Hunter probably being the one who started Clay's hockey obsession (Go Preds!). With Clay being one of the first members of the Greene family to welcome Hunter in, it makes sense to have him stand with us when Hunter officially becomes a part of the family.
Laura Kizziah
Bridesmaid
Maggie met Laura through her brother, Clay. Laura’s patience, kindness, and warmth were obvious from the moment they met. Laura has been someone Maggie can count on for a helpful hand, a good idea, and a willing heart. Her elevated sense of style and creativity are something that Maggie has come to rely on. Maggie is so excited to have her as a member of the wedding party and friend for years to come.
