Waileia & CJ
Wedding Party
Jacob Fritz
Best Man
My older brother, Jacob, will be my Best Man. I asked Jacob to be my Best Man not even ten minutes after proposing to Waileia, because he has been central to all of the biggest moments in my life. I have the amazingly good fortune to be close friends with my big brother - we got to share the soccer field in high school and college, we travelled through Spain and France together, and he is the first person I go to for wisdom and advice whenever I need it. It's also a nice confidence boost for me to have a baldy at my side on such a big day.
Alondra Hungerford
Maid of Honor
Alondra is not only my sister but she is truly my best friend. Though we are literally day and night and have gone through years of fighting over wearing each other's clothes without asking, I couldn't have asked for a better sister. Alondra is my rock, she lifts me up and she always knows how to make me laugh. I am so honored to have her stand beside me on one of the most important days of my life.
Conor Galvin
Groomsman
Conor and I became best friends as soon as we started playing soccer together between 5th and 6th grade. He even consoled me in 6th grade when I asked Waileia out and got turned down. Conor and I carpooled to every soccer practice and every game in Portland and Salem (shoutout to our dads) through middle and high school, and spent most weekends for 7 years sleeping over, playing FIFA in the evenings and waking up early to watch Manchester United games in the mornings. Conor has been with me through all of my most formative experiences, and I'm honored to have him (and his wrinkly hands) with me as a groomsman.
Racheal Nordby
Bridesmaid
Racheal and I have known each other since middle school and I am so incredibly happy and proud to be sharing such an important day with her by my side! Racheal has seen my journey with CJ go from being middle school friends, to best friends, to now a couple who will be spending the rest of our lives together. I feel so lucky to be going through life with Racheal and to have her with me for this moment.
Eric Conte
Groomsman
I met Ricky during preseason soccer before my first year at Whitman College. Ricky proceeded to (accidentally) break my leg in a training accident and promptly became by best friend in college. We auditioned for the Whitman improv team together and spent some of my fondest memories trying to make our peers laugh on stage. Some of you who know my relationship with Ricky may be surprised that it's not him I'm marrying...but being my groomsman comes pretty damn close.
Merissa Sultini
Bridesmaid
Merissa and I met 7 years ago while working together in the Bay Area and quickly became friends. Merissa and I have spent countless hours sharing mimosas and laughs over brunch and bonding over our customer service nightmares. Merissa is one of the most genuine, kind-hearted people I have ever met and I am so excited to have her as one of my bridesmaids!
Riley Goldstein
Groomsman
I met Riley immediately upon moving to Bend before 3rd grade. Within six months of knowing him, we were playing soccer against each other at his house - I won the game, definitely did NOT taunt him at all, and he punched me square in the face. Since then, we've considered ourselves cousins (and have told many gullible Bendites that), and he has been a fixture in our lives in Denver since the moment we arrived. Riley will be with me at the altar as one of my closest friends, and as a bodyguard in case Waileia's dad Rob gets upset at the whole kissing part.
Max Farrens
Man of Honor
Max and I became close friends in 6th grade, where we met in orchestra class and we’ve been best friends ever since! Max has been a part of my life for over 10 years now and you could say that we have a sibling-like relationship, which is why it was so important to me that he be my “Man of Honor”. Max also predicted that CJ and I would date each other, and thank god his prediction came true! If you’re looking for him on the wedding day, he’ll be the only 6 foot 5 bridesmaid.
Robert Jordan Hungerford
Groomsman
I'm so excited to have Robert Jordan, Waileia's younger brother, as one of my Groomsmen. I met Robert Jordan when he was still in elementary school, I've since gotten to call him my friend, and now I'm so proud that he's becoming my brother-in-law. He is fiercely protective of both of his amazing sisters, and I'm honored that I made the cut in his book.
Gillian Fritz
Bridesmaid
Family is incredibly important to me, which is why I am so honored to have Gillian, CJ's sister, standing by my side. I have known Gillian since she was in 2nd grade but have only come to know her better within the last two years and in that time I have learned that she is compassionate, funny, intelligent, and thoughtful. I can't wait to finally call Gillian a part of my family.
John Hart
Officiant
My Uncle John has practically been a part of the Hungerford family since before I was born when he and my dad met in their early 20s. He has been such an important part of my life and is someone who I deeply admire and respect. He takes his role as my godfather very seriously and I have always looked up to him. He is someone that I can go to for any piece of advice or to just chat about life and where to find the best burrito (Los Dos Pedros in La Jolla, CA... if you were wondering). Having my Uncle John officiate our wedding has been a dream of mine for many years now and I am so honored to have him be such an important part of our special day.
Sawyer & Elliot
Ring Bearers
In 2005 my Uncle Jason and Auntie Bonnie got married and asked for my sister, Alondra, and me to be their flower girls and my brother, Robert Jordan, to be their ring bearer. 17 years later my cousins, Sawyer and Elliot will be the ring bearers at our wedding!
