Maid of Honor
One fateful day in August 2020, I was tired of being locked up in my dorm room, so I went to the Quad to see if there was anything fun happening. A group of guys was playing wiffleball, and I noticed these two gals sitting beside and watching, so I asked to join them. One of those gals was Elizabeth, who welcomed me with open arms not only that day but in all areas of her life all the time. Elizabeth introduced me to true friendship and a relationship with God, so it is only natural Elizabeth will now be the maid of honor on my special day. Every day, Elizabeth's patience and abiding in the Lord continues to inspire and challenge me, and I'm so thankful to have her as a friend and sister in Christ.
Best Man
I have been friends with Austin since the 6th grade which just blows my mind. After graduation he was one of the few I actually kept in touch with and following our freshman year of college he needed a place to stay so he lived with me and my family for the summer which has to be one of my best summers and where we crossed from being friends to being brothers. Austin is one of those people who is so genuine and will both affirm the great things in you and call you on your BS at the same time. Not only that but he stands up for and defends those he cares about and will do all he can do to help those he cares about if they are ever in need. The way Austin loves his friends and family so inspiring to see and it makes me so happy to have him as my best man.
Bridesmaid
As my older sister, there have been many highs and lows with Kimi over the years, ranging from choreographed singing of "I Won't Say I'm in Love" to me trying to choke Kimi in an intense game of Barbies. While geographical distance now separates us even more than before, there's nothing that can separate that sister bond. She's definitely a goofball, but has always and will always be there to help me through thick and thin.
Groomsman
For all of you who have not yet had the pleasure of meeting the man that is Micah White, you're in for a real treat. He is one of the goofiest, energetic, intelligent, loyal, and trustworthy friend one can have. From heart to heart conversations while driving through the woods in the middle of the night to both of you punching a hole in his ceiling because as Macklemore once said, "the ceiling can't hold us". There is too many fun memories to share here but I don't think my wedding day would be the same if I was not able to have Micah standing there with me.
Bridesmaid
Sami is the baby of the Warren family, but don't let her age deceive you, she is definitely wise beyond her years. While there is a bit of an age gap, I got incredibly close to Sami during quarantine as we became even more like friends than just sisters. Sami has an eye for style and a heart for people. I've loved getting to watch her grow and mature over the years, and I'm excited to see where the Lord will take her next.
Groomsman
If you ever feel like going out into the woods and camping, or cutting down a random tree, or just doing stupid guy things, Joseph is your guy. He is always down for any adventure and helps take it to the next level. Not only that but joseph is someone who cares about the details and always works his hardest to make everything the best he can. Whether that's his guitar playing, perfecting a cup of coffee, or just being the best friend he can be, Joseph will always give his all to what he cares about and that's why I knew I needed Joseph to be there with me on my big day
Bridesmaid
I met Lauren at a Chi Alpha girls' hang out my first year in the group. From the first time I met her, she was a joy to be around. Lauren is so full of character and has an unmatched love for people without ever the thought of judgement and with all the care of a mother. Living with Lauren was a gift I will cherish for the rest of my life. She is so full of life wisdom and wisdom from the Lord. I can always count on her to have advice no matter what situation I find myself in. The way Lauren consults the Lord is truly an inspiration to me and encourages me to continue growing closer to him.

Zach is a truly great friend to everyone he comes into contact with. He is one of the most loving and caring guys I know and doesn't hesitate to help anyone at the drop of a hat even if he just met you. Not only that but he also never turns down the chance to go on an adventure. These adventures including but not limited to hiking down a creek after a bridge got washed out, dumpster diving and making a cool stuff with a thrown out TV, breaking into campus late at night to steal his projects back, and having a roman candle war on the 4th of July. No matter what Zach is a friend who will always stick by your side and I am happy to have him join me on a day as special my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
It's hard to believe, but I met Emma at Chi Alpha's fall retreat 2021. It honestly feels like we've always known each other. At retreat, we instantly hit it off as the two of us would much rather watch games than partake in them. We talked the rest of the night and bonded over almost everything. After this, Emma joined my small group, and we continued to get closer with each time we hung out. Emma has a beautiful heart and is inspiringly vulnerable, and I admire that so much about her. I've loved getting to grow closer to her and God together.
Groomsman
Gabriel, the eldest twin and one of my closest cousins both relationally and geographically growing up. We have always been partners in crime. All it takes is one look and we're on the same page for whatever mischievous scheme we have. One of my favorite memories is the time we stole a sign during the cover of darkness. Gabriel has been there along with William since the beginning and it only makes sense to have him stand by me on my wedding day.
Bridesmaid
I actually met Carmen the same day I met Elizabeth, and from there our friendship was sealed. The three of us have gone on so many adventures and shared so many laughs. Carmen in particular has such a gentle and loving personality that just feels like home. With similar laid back personalities, some of our best times together have been spent just hanging out in the presence of each other. I treasure every conversation I have with Carmen, and I'm so happy she gets to join me on my wedding day.
Groomsman
William, the younger twin and also one of my closest cousins both relationally and geographically growing up. We have had so many fun filled adventures from late nights playing games of all varieties to conversations of all types including but not limited to strategy, video games, D&D, and all that's going on with the family and high school band. William has been there along with Gabriel since the beginning and it only makes sense to have him stand by me on my wedding day.
