Wedding Party
Katie Bennett
Matron of Honor
Katie’s Favorite Memory with Ashley: “My favorite memory with you is the San Francisco Giants game. Even though the trip consisted of us fighting in the car, I knew from that trip that you would forever be a sister, and a best friend to me.”
Gavin Wilkinson
Co-Bestman
Gavin’s Favorite Memory with Bryson: “As I've known him my whole life, me and Bryson have shared countless memories. My favorite memory with him is when he was teaching me how to bowl. At the time he was pretty good, and I was just starting. I sucked, but he was always the supportive and kind older brother that pushed me to be better. Because of this, he has taught me a lot of lessons just through a silly little game. Bowling has become one of my passions and it's all thanks to him for hooking me on it at such a young age. The best part is now that I'm older, I can beat him every now and again. 😉”
Alexa Wolfard
Co-Maid of Honor
Alexa’s Favorite Memory with Ashley: “I think my favorite memory was the night I stayed the night with you when Bryson was out of town and you spilled unbaked cookies ALL over the oven😂😂😂”
Peter Nguyen
Co-Bestman
Peter’s Favorite Memory with Bryson: “Oh man, asking me to pick a favorite memory is so difficult with how many good ones during University. Still, a solid one that still brings good memories is when Bry was cooking burgers for dinner and I got to play sous chef. We both made nonstop jokes, running around the island, and getting scolded by you Ash. Shortly after, I had gotten absolutely demolished in Catan. Now I own the board game plus more thanks to you two ❤️”
Nerea Alcoz-Walls
Co-Maid of Honor
Nerea’s Favorite Memory with Ashley: “This one is a two for one: we were really young and we went to stay in a cabin in California and I remember the whole time we stayed there we just kept singing the cup song over and over and your mom was recording us. Also, during that stay we went horseback riding through the woods. Of course a really solid favorite to look back on is “HOOOVER DAAM” when we traveled to Arizona and weren’t allowed to say bad words”
Kendyl Huston
Groomsman
Kendyl’s Favorite Memory with Bryson: “When we first met, we were living on the same floor in the dorms at PSU. I didn't know anyone yet, but Bryson was a very chill fun guy to be around, so I gravitated towards him a bit. We started to hangout more around eachother, and he was just a big goofball. I have a video of him racing down the hallway like a crab. I'm pretty sure he won hahaha. But anyway, I had the best time rolling my tv on a cart down to his room and we'd just play fortnite for a few hours. Now I don't particularly love that game but Bryson made it fun to play. I'll always enjoy his upbeat spirit. :)”
Maddie Dalke
Bridesmaid
Maddie’s Favorite Memory with Ashley: “I would say mine is probably all of those Rogues Games. Summer time for many years we spent so much time together. Especially with our family’s having season ticket seats right next to each other. I hate baseball but I loved going to the games because I got to hangout with you.”
Jessie Quandt
Groomsman
Jessie’s Favorite Memory with Bryson: “Back in 2019 and 2021, I tagged along with Bryson and Ashley to their families for Thanksgiving. On my second trip, I got to experience disc golf for the first time. At this point I had been living with both Bryson and Ashley for a few months and had heard my fair share of disc golf trivia, and had seen Bryson dye his own discs at the kitchen table. I didn’t really understand why it would be so fun, I thought it was the same as frisbee (I’m sorry Bryson). We started on our course and began walking to the baskets. I was not very good, my arm got tired pretty fast, but Bryson, Ashley and Gavin were all doing very well. As we walked I was fascinated with the course, the trees, bushes, the river running through and the dandelions growing along the side. It was all so beautiful and alive, even in the dead of November. We talked and laughed the whole rest of the way and by the end of it, I realized disc golf is nothing like frisbee. It is a complicated sport, yes, but more than that- its about spending time with those you love, enjoying their company and having fun in the world around you at that moment. Bryson proved me wrong about disc golf and I’m grateful he did. I got to spend that day with friends in a beautiful place that I had never known before meeting Bry&Ash🫶🏼”
Cortney Lemen
Bridesmaid
Cortney’s Favorite Memory with Ashley: “My favorite memory with you is the first time I stayed the night and we played drunk Mario Cart and you guys absolutely crushed me. That or you trying to teach me Fortnite without getting frustrated at me 😂 Honestly my favorite memories are playing games at the base or game nights at the house. We always have the best time”
Jacob Bruff
Groomsman
Jacob’s Favorite Memory with Bryson: “A memory I have with Bryson is being invited out to sun river. Only knowing Bryson for a short time I didn’t expect that. The trip was a total blast, even though he took us around the round abouts multiple times because he missed the turn! We went mini golfing, bowling, and had good times at the house! My favorite part was having the honor of becoming a groomsman for him and his wedding!”
