Ashley & Hunter
Our Wedding Party
Allison Hanczarowski
Matron of Honor
Hi I'm Alli! I'm Ashley's sister and obviously built in best friend. With a 6 year age gap, growing up with younger siblings wasn't something that I appreciated as much as I wish I had. But now, it's something I appreciate greatly! She keeps me young! She's always trying to get me to take shots, and do crazy things that 30 something mother's of 3 don't do! Girl, I'm old!! I'm so excited to be a matron of honor and support Ash on the best day of her life. She will surely get some shots out of me that day!
Elizabeth Holm
Matron of Honor
Hi I’m Elizabeth, one of the three lovely matron of honors! Ashley and I became besties shortly after we both moved to Augusta, GA. From weekend getaways to game nights, we have been inseparable since. My husband, Erik and I were fortunate enough to be there for Ashley and Hunter’s breathtaking engagement and have loved watching their journey as an engaged couple unfold. After losing our house in hurricane Helene, Ashley and Hunter offered their home to us without a blink of an eye. We truly can’t describe how blessed we are to have them not only as friends, but as family at this point. Cheers to the happy couple, we can not wait to see you on the dance floor! 🤍

Matron of Honor
Hi, I’m Jo! I’m one of Ashley’s Matrons of Honors! Ashley and I met working together but very quickly became inseparable best friends. Ashley is the kind of friend everyone needs - she lights up a room when she’s with you and will be there when you need her most. She stood next to me on my wedding day and now I am blessed to stand by hers as she marries her dream man, Hunter. Despite our distance, she is a forever friend 🤍
Allison Lowery
Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Allie, Ashley's cousin! From finding out we were cousins at a young age to becoming best friends. Living right up the road was a bonus. Ashley has always been more like a sister to me. The funniest, most outgoing, and sweetest girl I know. She's been with me through all the big moments. I'm so excited to be apart of her big day! Our friendship means the world to me!
Kailyn Carrick

Hi! I'm Kailyn. Ashley & I have became close friends over the last 3 years and I'm so excited to celebrate the love between her & Hunter. I am honored to have witnessed the trials, tribulations, sacrifices, and most importantly the love between the both of them. Those who know Ashley, know that she is high energy, all the time with so many good ideas. So many enjoyable times together we have shared between live music and them dealing with my crazy antics so we can get one cute picture! I can’t wait to watch her marry her best friend!
Madeleine Rhodes
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Madi, I have been friends with Ashley since high school. We have been through so much together and I am so incredibly thankful that I get to share in one of the most important and special days of her life! From standing outside with grocery bags on our hair, dancing in the rain, to her 21st birthday, to all the insane road trips she’s stayed by my side. She is one of the strongest people I have ever met! I can’t wait to watch her marry the love of her life.
Cara Kullman
Bridesmaid
Hi! I’m Cara one of the bridesmaids! Ashley and I became super close shortly after she and Hunter started dating! Who knew that our boyfriends would bring us together! I’ve had the pleasure of watching Hunter and Ashley’s relationship grow and it’s clear they bring out the best in each other. I’m so blessed to stand by Ashley on such a special day and I can’t wait to celebrate these two!
Kacie Bellinger
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Kacie Bellinger Hunters’ older sister. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Ashley over the last 2 years and I’m so excited to be able to stand by her side as she marries my brother. Eric and I are so excited for this next chapter in their lives and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store for them.
JJ Peterson
Best Man
Hello, I’m JJ Peterson, Hunter’s older brother and best man for his wedding. Growing up, Hunter and I always had a strong relationship, but with our age difference, we didn’t hang out much. However, as he entered his college years, our friendship really grew, and now I’m thankful to have a best friend in my brother. Over the past few years, we’ve solidified our bond through our favorite activities, including fishing for walleye on Lake Erie, camping on the Allegheny River, and hunting deer and ducks together. I’m so excited to celebrate Hunter as he marries his best friend, Ashley.
Erik Holm
Groomsman
I’m pumped to be standing by Hunter as a groomsmen. I met him through Ashley and Elizabeth right after all of us moved to Augusta, and we hit it off right away. We first bonded over hunting and fishing so, as you can imagine, it didn’t take long before we became fast friends. Even though we haven’t known each other long, Hunter and Ashley have become like family to us. We’ve spent so many weekends together and even got to witness their engagement! Recently our home was effected by Hurricane Helene, and they took us in without a second thought. We’re beyond grateful for these two, and I’m so excited to see them tie the knot! Cheers!
Noah Weinstien
Groomsman
Ahoy! I’m Hunter’s good pal Noah. From little league baseball to high school sports to being college roommates, I’ve shared more memories with Hunter than I could fit in one paragraph. I’ve had the privilege of watching him grow from ‘little HP Beast 2000’ into one of the most hardworking, passionate, and loyal friends I could ever ask for. It was an honor to have Hunter by my side at my wedding, and now I can’t wait to stand by his.
Joshua Ulinger
Groomsman
Hey, I’m Josh, one of Hunter’s groomsmen and his best friend from high school! We met on the football field, where we had to teach Hunter the rules for the first time his sophomore year. Even though college took us in different directions, when he came to Buffalo and we started golfing as adults with our buddy Noah, we became closer than ever. It felt just like high school again at Hunter’s house, yelling ‘Hunty 2014!’ and him always shouting back, ‘Can’t stop it!’ We can still quote every line from Step Brothers. Standing next to Hunter on his wedding day means as much to me as it did to him when he stood by my side on mine. I’m honored to be here for him today, just like he’s always been there for me.
Andrew Ward
Groomsman
Hello, I’m Andrew! Hunter and I grew up in neighboring towns but I never got to meet him until college. We only briefly crossed paths at JCC and then later became very close during PT school at Daemen. From tutoring him in the cadaver lab during gross anatomy, to getting golf memberships at Cable Hollow together, to playing Call of Duty until 2am some nights; we developed a great friendship. I’m very excited and thankful to be standing by Hunter’s side as him and Ashley start their new adventure together as husband and wife!
Jon Fenske
Groomsman
Hi I’m Jon! I met Hunter in 2018 at Daemen College during one of our undergraduate semesters. We quickly became great friends and later on roommates. Hunter is an upstanding person and exceptional friend. As roommates we leaned on and relied on each other through the stresses of PT school, and we had some fun along the way! I would not have been able to graduate without that guy helping me every step of the way. Hunter is one of the most passionate people I’ve ever met and has always had my back. I feel proud and privileged to stand with him as he marries the love of his life!
Eric Bellinger
Groomsman
My name is Eric Bellinger, Hunter's brother in law. I have known Hunter for almost 9 years now. However, I think we really got to know each other when he spent 3 months living with Kacie and I while on an away rotation for school. Whether it was on the golf course or boating on Chautauqua, we have had a lot of good memories over the years. For these past nine years he has always gone out of his way to make sure I have felt a part of his family. I cannot wait to be a part of his wedding!
