Wedding Party
Alora Jorgensen
Matron of Honor
Alora and I met at 5 a.m. workout classes at Pivot, where we bonded over early mornings and an even stronger love for soft pretzels with beer cheese. Our first hangout involved making pretzels together, and we’ve been close ever since. I was honored to stand by her side as she married Carson, and even with our busy schedules, we’re always there for each other, especially as the go‑to aunties for each other’s cats when one of us is out of town.
Isaac Moss
Best Man
From best brother to best man Isaac has had my back since we were kids. I didn't know he was my best friend until we grew up and went our own ways for a while. As kids we spent our days playing outdoors, skateboarding, making up games on the trampoline, and taking care of each other and our sister. My favorite memory was when we'd get a play store to sell candy for Christmas and instead of learning to count money or work a shift we'd rob the store with my sister as the store clerk. We always had that imagination for fun and games. As adults Isaac has been an example of preservation and integrity. Isaac is never someone who is late to start something that needs to get done or give up when it gets hard. He has shown that his whole life, so having him as a brother has been one of the additions to life.
Kelly Hamblin
Maid of Honor
Kelly and I have been friends since high school, where we spent many nights attending football games together. She is my longest friendship, and over the years our bond has only grown stronger. We attended the same college for our first two years before she went on to become a nurse and is now working toward her Nurse Practitioner degree. We love catching up on walks along the greenbelt, and no matter what we’re going through, we’re always there to support one another. I’m also so excited to celebrate her wedding later this year!
Conner Carpenter
Groomsman
The first time we met it was in FedEx trailer loading packages during the middle of the summer. Conner is a very social person so he wasn't going to let us load the trailer without getting to know me. We talked about everything and became the best of work friends. It wasn't until a couple months later we met up outside of work and the friendship continued to grow from there. We've done backpacking trips, challenged each other in numerous basketball 1v1s, pushed each other to try new stunts on snowboards, and spent hours talking and sharing music in between all these activities. Conner has given me lifelong friendship from near and afar.
Ameena El-Mansouri
Bridesmaid
Ameena and I met freshman year of college on a hike, and we’ve been adventuring together ever since. Whether it’s exploring a new trail, planning a weekend getaway, cooking together, or rewatching Starstruck to relive our college days, we’re always sharing stories from our latest adventures. Even when life gets busy and we don’t see each other for a while, it always feels like no time has passed at all.
Austin Starks
Groomsman
Growing up with Austin as one of my close cousins was like having a built in friend. He and his brother Griffin were always written into my summer plans. We had plenty of time to explore the world around us while staying active but also finding time to share laughs all playing computer games. As we both grew up we lost some time together, but were able to reconnect on a friendship level again in our early 20s. From there we've been roommates, late night hangouts, and someone to bounce ideas off as we both were coming of age. Austin is someone who is selfless in many of the things he does; always putting others before himself. This has given me the opportunity to see the world through his lens and meet some amazing people.
Sammifay Hunter
Bridesmaid
I met Sammifay working at American Eagle during college, where we spent more time laughing together than actually getting things done. The first time we hung out outside of work included a hot tub, a dropped phone, and a miracle that it still worked, an iconic start to our friendship. Now, no matter how busy life gets, we always find time to reunite for concerts and quality time together.
Robert Mason
Groomsman
I met Rob through my soon to be wife Caelli. She has the ability to pull in some of the most exciting and amazing people into her life and Rob is no exception. He is the type of guy who is up for anything, and could run the table conversationally. I can honestly say if I was doing something fun over the past couple of years Rob was either there or he was the only person who could make the experience better. Reflecting on who Rob is to me and others he is an example of what success looks like when you don't hold yourself back. From traveling, adventures, and Gnar to showing what a good engineer looks like Rob has been this example to me.
