Wedding Party
Daniel Storm
Best Man
As Aaron's younger brother, Daniel and Aaron met many years ago as infants. For a brief period of time, Aaron was actually taller than Daniel. They both went to Moody Bible Institute for their undergrad. Daniel has a deep love Lakers, coffee, and escape rooms.
Esther Storm
Matron of Honor
Aya met Esther.. well at church! She met Daniel and Esther when they were about to be hired as new youth pastors of their church. Aya then became close to Esther in 2021 when she (Aya) was going through some hard times and would go to Esther’s house almost every day (like all the time, she had a key to their house). Esther loves her kids and her husband, loves the Lord very much, and never misses a beat to tell you the truth, even when it’s going to sting. She’s the one who will pray for you in the middle of the night and will tell you she loves you no matter what.
Caleb Storm
Groomsman
Aaron and Caleb met many years ago growing up down the hallway from each other. As Aaron's older brother, Caleb and Aaron has many intense and bloody Lego wars as kids. Caleb loves hiking, grilling, and playing with his boxer, Maximus.
Mary Storm
Bridesmaid
Aya met Mary through the Storms (she’s married to Caleb). Aya thought that Mary had a quiet but strong sense of character in her. Mary is not afraid to speak her mind but she is gentle in showing compassion towards others, especially to her students (Mary is a teacher). Aya thought how Mary is always fearless; she is not afraid to tell the truth with no hesitation to speak what is right. Mary is kind and loving, especially to her nephews, and she loves to play with them with her husband, Caleb!
Joseph Sanders
Groomsman
Joe grew up down the street from Aaron. For a few years, Joe, Aaron, and Caleb rented a house together in Chino. There were many nights of epic League of Legends battles during that time. Joe enjoys all things outdoors and is the kind of person who never meets a stranger.
Ketsia Kabangu
Bridesmaid
Ketsia and Aya met at youth group while Aya was a leader and Ketsia was still a youth. They became friends when Ketsia graduated from high school, and they would talk about stuff that made them besties. Ketsia loves to sing (even when she denies that) and has a great voice. She is VERY protective of people she’s close with, and she will fight anyone anywhere and anytime without feeling bad about it. Ketsia loves the Lord and is very determined in her studies. She’s passionate about the people she loves, and she always wanted to be the one who’d be there when they needed her. Ketsia is very good at being Aya’s best friend, and Aya is grateful she’s in her life.
Timothy Sanders
Groomsman
Tim also grew up down the street from Aaron. From creating weapons out of soda cans and dog food, to all out wars with fully automatic airsoft guns, Tim and Aaron had many great memories together. Tim is a guy who brings the fun to his friends and makes them laugh.
Tatyana Kunonga
Bridesmaid
Tatyana was Aya’s youth kid, too, even though they’re only 4 years apart (Aya was a leader in youth when she was 21). Aya thought Taty was the funniest person she had ever met because Taty did not hesitate in her one-liners. Taty is so rounded in her faith, and even when life gets tough, she’s so focused on Jesus that it always amazes Aya the way Taty always puts the Lord first in everything. Taty is the person who would miss a class to talk to you about the scriptures and encourage you that everything is going to be okay. Don’t mess with Taty, by the way. She can snap you with one look!
Joshua Sanders
Groomsman
Josh (along with Joe and Tim) grew up down the street from Aaron as well. Josh and Aaron collaborated together on a number of (homemade) motion pictures that should have been up for the Oscars but sadly were snuffed. Josh is also a top tier griller of meat and loves a good strategy board game.
Jessica Fallwell
Bridesmaid
Jessie is Aya’s current youth kid. Aya treats Jessie like her child even though she is about to turn 15. Jessie loves serving people and volunteering, maybeit by helping to clean the youth room and planning Aya’s engagement party at youth…she has the heart of service! Jessie loves her family and loves to worship. Aya is protective of Jessie, but Jessie is adamant she's more aggressive in protecting Aya than people think. Jessie is not afraid to be honest and is very mature for her age, which is why Aya thinks that Jessie is one of the most trustworthy people she knows. Aya loves Jessie and acts like her Mom a lot, which Jessie complains about occasionally... but she loves Aya nevertheless.
Elijah Storm
Ring Bearer
Elijah is Daniel and Esther's first child and Aaron's nephew. Elijah loves to play with his little brother, Isaiah, and spend time with his best friend, William. Elijah has a heart of worship and is unafraid to jump and sing for the Lord during worship service. He has the best prayers Aya has ever heard and always teases his Auntie Aya that she finally dated his Uncle Aaron and could not wait for them to get married!
Isaiah Storm
Ring Bearer
Isaiah is Daniel and Esther's second child and Aaron's second nephew. Isaiah loves hugs and loved it when Uncle Aaron and Auntie Aya read him a book! He is very aware of the stories in the Bible, and he is mindful of the Ressurection story pretty well! Like his Auntie Aya, Isaiah loves tajin and would drench their fruits with it!
Noelle Storm
Flower Girl
Noelle is the youngest child of Daniel and Esther and the goddaughter of Aaron and Aya. She loves cuddles, and she is in an Uncle Aaron phase where she wants to cuddle with him and occasionally sleeps in his arms! Noelle loves food, like bananas, pears, and mashed potatoes! Uncle Aaron and Auntie Aya adore her and would do anything, absolutely anything, for this little princess!
