It all started with a Hinge match—right before Haley was about to disappear off the grid! As she was deleting the app to embark on a two week rafting trip, she gave Kyle a satellite phone number (a bold move, I know). Thankfully, he powered through and they went on their first date on the Katy Trail a few weeks later.
The rest, as you all know, has been a part of our history. Now, we can’t wait to start this next adventure together, surrounded by y’all!
- Haley & Kyle

Bridesmaids
Paige Holcomb / Melissa Priller / Becca Sinco / Faith Brannon / Avery Fortenberry / Viktoriya Hristova
Paige Holcomb
HALEY’S YOUNGER SISTER
DAY JOB: Digital Marketing, Travel Agent
She’s a globe-trotting coffee connoisseur on a mission to find the best brews known to mankind. From the bustling cafés of Southeast Asia to Australia’s coffee capital, she’s sipped, savored, and studied it all. In fact, she loved Aussie coffee culture so much, she stuck around for four years! Now she’s back, ready to enlighten us mere mortals who still think black coffee is the peak of sophistication.
Melissa Priller
HALEY’S PARTNER IN CRIMES
DAY JOB: Professional Violinist, Haley wrangler
Melissa is a true powerhouse of talent and energy—a total chameleon who can go from deep-diving into the best fantasy fairy books to dancing on top of a bar like it’s her own personal stage (until, inevitably, you both get kicked off). She’s the life of the party, a human jukebox who can instantly name any tune, and—get this—her ultimate party trick? Play her a song, and within minutes, she’ll have it flawlessly on the violin.
Becca Sinco
HALEY’S PART-TIME FREE THERAPIST
DAY JOB: Brown hair, 5’6, FINANCE
This take no prisoners finance leader is the ultimate boss babe—crushing it at work while casually conquering marathons and jet-setting around the country. If movement is the name of the game, she’s undefeated—her Apple Watch hasn’t seen an unclosed ring in over two years! When she’s not on the move, she’s in the kitchen whipping up mouthwatering treats like a Betty Crocker prodigy. Bread, desserts—you name it, she bakes it, and trust us, it’s always delicious!
Faith Brannon
HALEY’S CHILDHOOD BESTFRIEND
DAY JOB: Director of Marketing at Tech Firm, Model
She’s the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into—brilliant, hilarious, and always ready with the perfect joke to keep everyone laughing. You’ll often catch her dashing around with a big, contagious smile, spreading joy like confetti. Whether she’s dancing like nobody’s watching or turning an ordinary moment into something unforgettable, she’s the life of the party and a magnet for fun. But don’t let her playful spirit fool you—her secret weapon is pure creative genius. With a keen eye for fashion design, she can transform fabric into magic, making style look effortless. If there’s one thing she knows how to do, it’s making life both beautiful and exciting!
Avery Fortenberry
HALEY AND PAIGE’S COMBINED BESTFRIEND
DAY JOB: Cyber Security Consulting Sales
She is the definition of a go-getter, embracing life with a can-do attitude and an unstoppable spirit. Fair warning—she’ll charm her way into your heart before you even realize it! A true jet-setter, she’s explored the world, collecting stories and memories along the way! Her motto? Work hard, play harder!
Viktoriya Hristova
HALEY’S FOREIGN TRANSPLANT BESTFRIEND
DAY JOB: ERP Tech Nerd (another finance girly)
She’s a two-stepping, Mississippi-raised firecracker with the heart of a true Southern belle—except, plot twist, she’s originally from Bulgaria! Don’t let that fool you, though—she can out-southern just about anyone and will have you spinning across the dance floor before you even know what hit you. Fair warning: there’s a strong chance she’ll turn the country songs at reception into a full-blown two-stepping workshop, so bring your best moves (or prepare to learn fast)!
Groomsmen
Connor Kreunen
Kyle’s Younger (But Taller) Brother
Profession: Product Manager
Connor is known for many things: being quick-witted, a phenomenal water polo player, and for being a lover of pugs, but something most people don’t know is that he and kyle have been by each other’s sides almost their entire lives. Having played sports together, traveling the globe, and moving across the world, Connor now stands as Kyle’s best man on his big day. Just keep him away from the Dr Pepper supply if you plan on enjoying any yourself.
Nick Walker
Decorated Military Man and Fellow Fraternity Brother
Profession: Accomplished Army Officer
A decorated military officer by day and avid fitness guru by night, Nick and Kyle met once upon a time in college over a stolen sandwich (long story, but it was totally worth it). Having traveled the world both for pleasure and during his military career, Nick is being called to duty once again to join his brother in arms (when they play games online) and stand with Kyle as one of his Groomsmen and mentors.
Alex Pallesen
Fellow EDM Enjoyer, Adventurer, and Fraternity Brother
Profession: Vice President in Private Capital
Alex and Kyle met while pledging in the Beta Theta Pi Fraternity at Indiana University, and found they had many similar interests in video games, travel, skiing, and music. After moving to San Francisco, Kyle roomed with Alex and joined him in many skiing and music festival adventures. Now Alex joins Kyle as one of his Groomsmen, and will hopefully grace the wedding party with his signature dance moves at the afterparty.
Andrew Pallesen
Skiier, Loyal Friend, Dangerous Card Player
Profession: Project Manager at a Major Financial Firm
Andrew completes the Pallesen & Kreunen Package, having the 4 brothers skiing together, doing trips, and chatting each night online over any topic or game you could think of. Andrew is a proficient card player, F1 fanatic, and is known for his quick wit. He has been asked to join Kyle as one of his groomsmen and keep his chaotic commentary to a minimum, but catch him at the after party and you can experience his world-famous “cockroach joke”. It’s 100% worth it.
Spencer Levins
World Traveler, Tech Savant
Profession: Business Owner
Spencer has always been at the forefront of new technology and innovation, having worked at Tesla, started his own company, and developed his own programs. Spencer is a hell of a debater, and has been asked by Kyle to join him as one of his Groomsmen, so if you have any questions about current events or topics related to politics, you will be directed to Mr. Levins himself (you have been warned).
AJ Santa Maria
Surfer, Engineer, Tamale Enthusiast
Profession: Solutions Engineer
AJ met Kyle during one of their high school’s famous “Hell Weeks” and the rest is history. Many late nights playing Talismen, countless weekends playing water polo, only a few times having to remind Kyle how to pronounce his Mexican food order correctly. With high honors from both Standford and Berkley, AJ has been asked by Kyle to join him as one of his Groomsmen, lower the book for just a moment and join him on the other coast of America to stand by him and help him announce “Right Here Coach” everytime one of his old waterpolo teammates recall his stupid rolecall phrases.
