Wedding Party
Bethany Moriah Walton
Maid of Honor
“Best Friend” doesn’t do justice to describe the friendship the Lord has established between me and Bethany! We are truly knit together for life. We lived together and traveled together during our Circuit Rider school as students, and it’s there that we became covenant sisters. Bethany is a beautiful and powerful woman, full of the fear of the Lord, wisdom, grace, beauty, and strength! I have never known friendship like ours! When I asked her to be my Maid of Honor, I couldn’t stop crying!
Gabrielle Aurora King
Bridesmaid
Gabrielle and I became instant best friends during a short two weeks that we were roommates, our first year on staff with Circuit Riders. We have so much in common! We often laugh that a lot of our friends are “adventure girls” but we’re basically just “talk-y girls” hahaha! We literally can talk for hours and still be having so much fun, and have so much we want to talk about! She is so special to me and one of my closest friends. She has also been one of the main voices of wisdom, laughter, counsel, and straight up rebukes as I’ve learned how to be a girlfriend, a fiancé, and soon to be wife! I love Gabrielle so much and there is truly no one like her!
Eunji Lee
Bridesmaid
How can I describe Eunji in just a few words? It’s not possible. She is one of the realest, deepest wells I’ve ever known. I cant count how many times we’ve sat on FaceTime talking about the beauty of the Lord as tears just streamed down our faces. We laugh hard together, pray hard together, and spend way too much money on really bomb food together 😂😂😂 Eunji is a bestfriend for life!!
Karen McCloud
Bridesmaid
Karen was one of my first true best friends! We encountered Jesus around the same time in High School, were a part of the same youth group, and mentored by the same amazing woman. We have a linked DNA and bond forever! Karen has taught me so much about what true friendship is, how to be a classy woman, and how to make wise decisions in relationships and in life. Karen has the ability to love people into upgrades, and she has been doing so in our friendship for almost 10 years now. She is so special to me!
Maddy McConnell
Bridesmaid
Maddy! Her contact in my phone is “Maddy McConnel my twin” with tons of heart emojis. Haha! We are literally so alike! She’s one of the only people I know who truly understands how spooky intuitive I am, because she’s the same way. We think and operate really similarly because we’ve been through a lot of similar things. This bonded us deeply in High School, and we became instant bestfriends because of it. Maddy is one of the most loyal people I know, and genuinely loved with her entire heart! She’s also one of my oldest friends, going on almost 10 years of doing life intimately together! I’m so thankful for her!
Ramota Mustapha
Bridesmaid
Mota is not only a best friend, she is a sister! I often think about how as the oldest in my family, I never knew what it would have been like to have an older sister! Until I met Mota. As a student at Circuit Riders, I would call her constantly to process my struggles and frustrations and she would counsel me, give me advice, and teach me lessons. As our friendship grew, she became one of the main people I would share my goals and dreams with! Then as housemates, we would go on walks and runs, cook dinners together, and share clothes! Being friend with Mota is like constantly leveling up your life personally, spiritually, physically, and professionally! She is a sister and a friend for life!
Kiley Joseph
Bridesman
My Kiley:) She is one of the most devoted, laid down lovers of Jesus that I know. We became best friends naturally, as we got to be roommates for a season. In fact, during the season that James and I became friends and fell in love, Kiley had a front row seat! I remember late night giggles and talks about the Lord as I braided my hair and she snuck one Nerd Rope a night. Haha! There are so many sides to Kiley; her goofiness, her spunk/borderline harmless sass, her love for coffee and cutie girl moments, but like I said before, it’s her depth and love for the Lord that sets her absolutely sets her a part. I learned so much just watching her life day to day.
Kasie Brennt
Bridesmaid
Kasie is one of the most resilient, kind, and self disciplined women I know! She is a woman of deep conviction, deep integrity, and a deep inner sense of core values. It’s so evident and such a sight to behold! After only a few hours of coffee and getting to know one another, Kasie and I became best friends! We bonded over so many shared personality traits, and over also being “talk-y girls.” Haha! I’m so grateful to have her standing with me on this special day!
Mouminatou Thiaw
Bridesmaid
Mouminatou is my sister and built in best friend! Having two different moms, I remember as little girls, we would braid our hair together, or loop our earrings together, and hide from our moms when it was time for one of us to go to our own house. We never wanted to be separated! Our whole lives we would create elaborate stories about being twin princesses going to balls, and imaginary twin princes would come pick us up on their horses. We could gallop around the house reciting our elaborate plots and character lines. Haha! We had so much fun! As adults we have stayed best friends, and it has been an honor to share every season of life with each other! Unfortunately, Mouminatou will be traveling for a year abroad during the wedding, but she will be standing with me on our Wedding day in spirit and heart! And we will be standing together for life :)
Aminta Skye
Bridesmaid
Aminta is my dear sister and built in best friend! We’ve dreamed about our future husbands, weddings, and families our whole lives and I can’t believe it’s actually here! Aminta is loyal, devoted, disciplined, and full of love! She’s one of the most talented and brilliant women I know! I’m so grateful for her friendship for life!
Nguissally Thiaw
Bridesmaid
Ngis is my sister and built in best friend! She is one of the most hard working and brilliant women I know. I learn so much about setting and meeting goals, loyalty, patience, and wisdom in friendships from her! She is extremely resilient and inspires me so much! I’m so proud to be her sister!
Harris Malone
Best Man
Harris is my childhood best friend and life long soccer opponent! Haha! He was the first friend who brought me to church and invited me into his family. Through so many seasons, he’s been one of the most consistent guys in my life. You can often catch him laughing and cracking a joke, or going deep and landing an ear. I love you Harris, and I’m so grateful for you!
Benuel King
Groomsman
Ben King is a man of pure love and wonder for Jesus. He’s one of the most direct and funny guys I know and you can often catch him rebuking people (me😂) and calling them deeper into relationship with Jesus. I’m grateful to experience some of the greatest moments serving Jesus alongside Ben and look forward to experiencing even greater moments together! Love you bro!
Jonathon Stamper
Groomsman
Jonathon is the most childlike but wise man I’ve ever met. He is a man of revelation as if he wrote the Bible himself😂. I’m grateful for the opportunity to watch this man pour out his heart for his city! He encourages me to believe that it’s possible to see a move of God in whatever cities are in my heart as well. Thank you for endless encouragement and for challenging me to know myself through Him. Love you bro!
Ian Ross
Groomsman
Ian Ross, also known as Pastor Lan, is the loudest person in the room, but also the most compassionate. You can always find him laughing, or planning world domination for the sake of the Gospel. I’m grateful to see his courageous heart, but also his tender heart. You’d never know that he was homeschooled!🤣 Thank you for being one of the greatest brothers I could have. Love you bro!
Timmy Kamau
Groomsman
Timmy Kamau is someone I met as a brother, but have been able to watch grow into a man. A man filled with obedience, and a man of real humility. Timmy, I’m grateful for your faithfulness to friendship and brotherhood, and for your unwavering encouragement. I love you bro!
Timmy Morgan
Groomsman
Timmy Morgan is one of the first met who I’ve questioned whether or not they’re in drugs because their filled with so much of the love and joy of Jesus! It’s an honor to see your heart for people and for the things that move Gods heart. I’m even more blessed to see how you love your wife! I look forward to planning global high school domination for the sake of the Gospel alongside you! I love you bro!
Ethan Johnson
Groomsman
Ethan Johnson is my roommate and brother and I’ve loved doing life with him in this season. You can often tiene see him running around screaming like a child and giving Jesus undignified praise. Ethan, you’ve shown me how much there really is no ceiling to living like a child, but also living like a man. I love you bro!
Omar Gray
Groomsman
Omar Gray is the only opponent I’ve found deserving of the fullest honor on the soccer field! You can catch him breaking your ankles or encouraging your heart to break for people to know the love of Jesus. Omar, I look forward to seeing you to continue to love Jesus with all your heart while also living out your dream on the field. I love you bro!
Chris Hulvey
Groomsman
Chris Hulvey is a man of joy and tenderness. The first time I met him, we cried. Chris, your desire to walk rightly in Gods sight over man’s provokes me. It’s been a blessing to see you love people, your wife, and your child, while also living in your calling and bringing Jesus glory! I’m incredibly grateful to have you by my side. I love you bro!
Bryce Bryant
Groomsman
Bryce Bryant is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met! It actually doesn’t make sense to me how funny his sense of humor is! But do not be fooled, he also is one of the most provoking and deep men I’ve ever met. His teachability and ability to be relational are some of my favorite things about him. I look forward to doing life with you for many years bro! I love you!
