Wedding Party
Victoria Valtin
Matron of Honor
Vica is my older sister! We enjoy almost daily phone calls and after the wedding, we will be living much closer to each other! Vica was the big sister I looked up to growing up. and I am excited about being able to spend more time with her and her family!
Aubrey O'Quinn
Maid of Honor
Aubrey is my younger sister! I often refer to Aubrey as the cuter and better version of me. With a similar sense of humor, we often keep in touch DMing each other things that will make the other laugh. Aubrey is no longer the little sister who needs my help (although she still takes my clothes) but rather one of my best friends.
Payton Wilber
Bridesmaid
Payton and I met in preschool! Payton was my first friend, though she no longer refers to me as "Bri O'Quinn" we remain close and enjoy multiple phone calls during the week usually with Maggie (also a bridesmaid) participating as well.
Maggie Patterson
Bridesmaid
Maggie and I met in second grade! We remained friends throughout school and have been roommates for the past four years. So in a sense, you could say we have grown up together. From weekly dinners, at her grandma, Shirley's freshman year of high school, to moving into a dorm with no AC, Maggie has been there the entire time.
Hailey O'Quinn
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I became friends on the school bus in elementary school. On the bus, we would convince other kids that we were related (we are not). By fifth grade, we were spending our entire recess playing together and have remained close ever since.
Kaylee Burrell
Bridesmaid
Kaylee has been a close friend of mine since high school. We were even in the same prom group both junior and senior year! I love when we have time to get together and explore Boone while trying different foods and going on hikes.
Katie Womble
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met in college. The only positive experience I have had in college with group projects is the friendship we formed after being placed in the same group. Living less than ten minutes away from each other has resulted in many movie nights and cooking each other dinner.
Brilee Patterson
Flower Girl
Brilee is the daughter of my cousin, Colby, and is the sassiest girl I know. Colby and I grew up getting off the bus at each other's houses and filling our afternoons with many hours of playing outside.
Samuel Valtin
Ring Bearer
Samuel is a super cool three-year-old and my oldest nephew. Samuel loves cars and when we hang out we usually play long games of hide and seek and bake cookies.
Owen Valtin
Ring Bearer
Owen is Samuel's younger brother and a really sweet almost two-year-old. Owen and I enjoy reading "The Pigeon Doesn't Want to Take a Bath" and sneaking vanilla wafers from the pantry.
Carter Thompson
Best Man
Carter and Bart have been best friends since kindergarten. They also lived on the same street and were always hanging out, which didn't change after Bart moved in middle school. Though they went to different colleges they stay up way too late playing video games and having conversations about life, school or anything that comes to mind. They have always been there for each other and Bart couldn't have asked for a better Best Man.
Brandon Grovenger
Groomsman
Brandon is Bart's oldest younger brother and it is crazy to think that he will be starting college at UNC Asheville this fall. He is now a semi-professional songwriter and Twitch streamer. He tried sports when he was younger but music became his passion, he definitely chose the loudest hobby. Now that they are older Bart no longer sees him as much of a little brother but more as a friend.
Brody Grovenger
Groomsman
Brody is the youngest of Bart's two younger brothers. It is crazy to think that he will be starting high school this fall as Bart can still remember helping coach him when he was in coach pitch and Little League. Now he is almost as good of a player as Bart and he is only 14 years old. Brody is the only dual talent in the family as he plays both instruments and sports.
Alex O'Quinn
Groomsman
Alex is my older brother and played baseball with Bart in high school. Not only did Alex drive me to high school every day my freshman year, but when Bart went off to college he would drive me to Charlotte so that I could visit him for the day. Since then the three of us have enjoyed beach trips together and even hanging out in Jersey Mike's parking lot for hours waiting on a tow truck.
Shawn Valtin
Groomsman
Shawn is my brother-in-law and I have attended church with his family my entire life. Luckily Vica was also interested in him; as his sister, Megan, and I set them up together. Shawn is entirely too good at board games and now that we will be living closer to each other I am looking forward to eventually beating him in one.
Nicholas Berlen
Groomsman
Bart met Nick in college their freshman year while living in the same engineering dorm. Nick encouraged Bart to go to the gym all the time, although going to Cook-Out every night probably canceled out their efforts. They ended up hanging out constantly throughout college and became roommates their junior year. They may have annoyed their other roommates with how loud they were while watching the Yankees.
Justin Ashby
Groomsman
Justin and Bart met freshman year of college when Justin's roommate Nick (also a groomsman) introduced them to each other. He was also a part of the nightly trips to Cook-Out freshman year and also became roommates with Bart their junior year. Justin, Nick, and Bart would stay up way too late most nights having conversations about random topics.
