Katelynn & Hunter
Wedding Party
Marissa Orona
Maid of Honor
I didn't meet Cake. She met me when I came out of my mom in 2001, and that's when we became sisters. I was just an ugly newborn and she was a 10 year old. Now she is a great big sister, and I am a pain in the ass. I met Hunter when Cake brought him home and he is a cool guy. I believe he is my sister's true Prince Eric, but I am better at baseball than him.
Conor Wheeler
Best Man
Hunter's one and only brother. I am the more creative half of the Wheeler brothers and help Hunter keep a level head through some of life's crazier moments.
Cassie Freeman
Matron of Honor
Katie and I met at one of Hunter's baseball games shortly after I moved to Ridgecrest in 2019 and it was love at first sight.
Justin Edl
Groomsman
I met Hunter through work when we were on the same team together at China Lake. We were bonded through our love of data and the joy of being a TRA.
Jessica Hodge
Bridesmaid
We met because Katie wanted to start a softball team and I'm pretty awesome at the game. 🙃 Jessica introduced Hunter and Katie!
Jeremy Montgomery
Groomsman
I met Hunter back in little league when my dad was the coach for my brother's Tournament Team that Hunter was on. We reconnected in college when Hunter and I were both working at Honda Aircraft and have stayed close since then.
Jordan Brannon
Bridesmaid
I am Hunter and Katie's roommate (but I was Katie's roommate first), part of the face mask squad, owner of their favorite step-dog, and baker of the greatest anniversary cake ever.
Kevin McCall
Groomsman
Met Hunter in preschool, then played little league baseball and youth soccer together
Crystal Ernst
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met at work informally, it wasn't until a game night after Jordan moved in that we became friends.
Garrison Robertson
Groomsman
I met Hunter on a ski trip with mutual work friends. We quickly bonded over baseball and ended up playing on the same men's league team. We share a special bond as pitcher and catcher.
Christina Nevarez
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met in 2010 at New Mexico Tech at my first sorority meeting. I was really quiet and shy at first but she broke me out of my shell, welcomed me into her life, and we became inseparable! Katie has always been one of my closest and best friends despite the distance between us. The first time Katie told me about Hunter, I knew he was the one for her. I am excited to be a part of their special day!
Joseph Stelter
Groomsman
Hunter and I met during the now-infamous Fiber Investigation at work. The long hours in the lab and fondness for board games has really cemented our relationship.
Jean Fitzgerald
Officiant
The Grandmother. AKA Bishop Fitz
