Abby & Zachary
Wedding Party
Sarah Calhoun
Matron of Honor
Sarah is my older sister who is way more organized than I ever will be when it comes to wedding planning. We had a love/hate relationship growing up, but now I couldn't imagine my life without her. She has been the glue for our family in this season of our lives, and she radiates Jesus everyday in her work, at home, at church, and in the community. I'm so grateful for her, and I know that I wouldn't make it through the wedding without her.
Ryan London
Best Man
Ryan and I first met when my family moved here from California. We became friends through church and just kinda hit it off ever since. Whether it's learning to longboard, learning photography, going to a few sunrises a week, watching me fall off my longboard, Ryan has been there through it all. I'm honored to have him be the Best Man at my wedding.
Stephanie Schmidt
Bridesmaid
Steph and I met in church about a decade ago. She's a few years older than me, but she has always been a best friend of mine since I was in middle school. We have supported each other through major life changes, and I'm so excited that she will be standing by my side for this next life change.
Hoan Le
Groomsman
Me and Hoan met here in Charleston through Church. Hoan has played an important role in my life spiritually and as a friend. Whether it's through going through the Word together, or hiking up a mountain without water, Hoan has been there. I am beyond thankful for his friendship to me, and also Abby. I am excited that he will be with us on our special day.
Madison Pittman
Bridesmaid
Madison and I met in high school, but we didn't get close until senior year. Now she is one of my closest friends who walks through life with me. She is always down for a sunrise, shopping, coffee, or tacos on any given day of the week. I am so blessed to have her in my life, and I feel so lucky that she is standing by me on this special day.
Connor Moore
Groomsman
Connor and I met through Cuppa Manna and church. My first interaction with Connor is that he told me "This guy makes a mean iced latte", and the rest was history. Connor went on to work for us at Cuppa, along with becoming one of my closest friends. I'm honored and stoked to have him be apart of our big day.
Shelby Harper
Bridesmaid
I always laugh every time someone asks me how Shelby and I met. I had seen a TikTok of her advertising for someone to date her brother! Following this, Shelby made a ministry out of the thousands of girls that were interested in her brother, and we became friends through this. I made a couple trips to Ohio to visit her, we went on vacation together, and she even came to CHS! Since then we have been best friends. We both find this funny considering we have collectively hung out about 4 times (long distance friendships baby!). She has played a vital role in me and Zach's relationship, and I truly couldn't imagine a life without her. I'm so lucky that she'll be standing with me and Zach on our wedding day.
David Creighton
Groomsman
David and I met when i was at the ripe age of 12 at a Basketball camp in California. He is one of the few friends I still have back home. Back in the golden days, there was no separating us. The trio of David, Jeff (his brother), and I would do a great many things together, but would ultimately be separated when I had to leave California. But that wouldn't stop us, haha. I'm honored to have my long time friend stand along side us on our day of marriage.
Samantha Davis
Bridesmaid
Sammy and I went to CSU together. We were in the same major as teachers, and we produced a very close friendship as we struggled through college together. Whenever we would do projects together she would always say "ready to get on the struggle bus?" because we always procrastinated. We were the best partners and the worst partners... She has been a part of monumental life moments, and she has supported Zach and I in our relationship since the start. I'm so grateful for Sammy's friendship, and that her and her husband (Johnny) will be by our side on our wedding day.
Johnny Davis
Groomsman
Johnny and I met through church here in Charleston. We both served together in youth group and even led a small group together. That's what really solidified our friendship by serving Christ together. After that we became roommates and continued to build a life lasting friendship. I'm honored to have Johnny stand along side us on our special day.
Rylea Koeln
Bridesmaid
Rylea and I met in middle school as we sat on the bleachers at youth group, eating bread, and talking about our weekend. There was a time where I would spend almost every weekend at her house! We were inseparable. Her family became my family, and my family became her's as we traveled together, grew together, and supported each other. She has moved states a few times in the past several years, but I'm so grateful that we could keep our friendship strong as we got older. I couldn't imagine her not standing next to me on this special day.
Drew Mueller
Groomsman
Me and Drew met the same was as most of the others; through the church. Our friendship starting in the most unconventional way though; through girl problems. You might think it's not that strange, but we had issues with that same person, hence birthed a beautiful friendship. From then, we've served together at church and explored cities together. I even had the honor of photographing his proposal to his wife Jess, and I am now honored to have him stand with us on our special day.
