Wedding Party
Brandy Futch
Maid of Honor
Sarah met Brandy the very first week of college. They matched outfits to attend a glow party, danced the night away, and the rest is history... : ) Brandy is the kind of friend who will put down anything to listen to you and always has your back. She also is a pro surprise coordinator, involved in various surprise food deliveries, ring advisory, and the proposal!
Jonah Price
Best Man
David met Jonah at the same church where he met Sarah. Jonah was instrumental in getting David and Sarah together. The man is immensely talented, he's a magician, an actor, and if there was a Nobel prize for intentional friendship, Jonah would win it.
Rachel Profio
Bridesmaid
Sarah has known Rachel for a longgg time...Rachel is a card game pro, camping master, and surprise party expert! She has a beautiful, sunny personality and is the kind of friend who always brings a LOT of laughter. She has also helped Sarah overcome her fear of snakes (kind of) .....Ask her about this for a great story.
Matthew Duff
Groomsman
Matthew Duff (aka Duff, but never just "Matthew") was David's roommate/housemate at the AGO house. Matthew Duff and David developed their friendship through playful violence, pranks and philosophical discussions, the likes of which can only be found at the AGO house. Matthew Duff is working on a masters degree in psychology. If you find a good wholesome meme, send it to Duff.
Kaitlyn Visser
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is one of the most genuine and entertaining people Sarah has ever met. College life was never boring with Kaitlyn there to share the latest hilarious story. She's also a hair whiz and helped Sarah get through some of her more disastrous hair situations...Kaitlyn will hopefully remember us all someday when she's rich and famous living her film life.
Aaron Henry
Groomsman
David met Aaron back in ancient times at the church where David grew up in Philadelphia. They hit it off based on their shared love of Jesus and thinking about things. Aaron is a poet, blessed with incredible wisdom and an incredibly loving heart. God has used Aaron to challenge David to grow in many ways. Aaron is now a campus missionary with inter-varsity at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Bethany Kauk
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Bethany share many things - a love for photography, kittens, the beach...but Bethany is quite different in one way: She is a fantastic chef! Sarah has enjoyed Bethany's culinary skills many times, whether pies, homemade sourdough, or simple camp food. Bethany is incredibly talented but the best part about her is her sweet heart. Every time Sarah hangs out with her she feels encouraged to be a better person.
Daniel Rogers
Groomsman
Daniel and David were brothers in AGO, and like David and Sarah, Daniel was homeschooled. Theres something about homeschooling that makes you just click when you meet other homeschoolers. Daniel is working on becoming a PE teacher, so if you need any advice on achieving peak physical condition, Daniel is your guy.
Bekah Alvis
Bridesmaid
Bekah is truly an amazing person for putting up with all of Sarah's shenanigans growing up. She's also incredibly smart and driven (and drives a way cooler car than Sarah does). She's also fitness #goals. Sarah feels really cool whenever she gets to hang out with Bekah and is so excited for her to be part of the wedding!
Tyber Oborne
Groomsman
Tyber and David met at Deerfoot, which is a super intense man-forge of a christian boys camp in upstate New York. They hit it off, and by sheer force of will (probably actually God's will) Tyber and David have managed to maintain a friendship across many many miles and many years. Tyber is an EMT, and I can guarantee has more good stories than any of your local libraries.
Audree Morecraft
Bridesmaid
Audree is the kind of friend you want to go on long hikes with and just talk about everything. She's always down for adventures - whether a freezing camping trip to Sedona or a sunny brunch. Sarah has been very blessed by the deep way that Audree thinks about things and a shared enjoyment for just sitting in comfortable silence together sometimes : ) Sarah looks up to Audree a lot and feels honored to have her be part of the wedding.
Ronel Sylvester
Groomsman
Ronel and David met through mutual friends in the Christian Community at Santa Clara, but their friendship really flourished recently when they reconnected over LinkedIn. Ya know how the bible says "As Iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another"? ...well every-time Ronel and David talk, they each need to get a broom out to sweep up all the iron-shavings off the floor. Ronel is an engineer and is working on his masters degree, but he really deserves a masters in conversationalism.
Delia Van Heukelem
Bridesmaid
Delia is that person that everybody wants to be close friends with - so Sarah feels incredibly blessed to be able to call her one of her own! Delia amazes and inspires her friends with her talents for Excel, stick shifts, skiing, functioning on insanely low levels of sleep, photography assistance, and being such a total model all the time. This girl is going places.
Matthew Voss
Groomsman
Matthew Voss and David just barely overlapped in CORE, (the Christian Group at Santa Clara University). David and Matthew led a bible study together on "How to Read the Bible for All its Worth" Matthew Voss has shared much wisdom with David over the years, and has aided in many important decisions. He is an engineer and works for Sony's Playstation division. If you need someone REALLY smart, Matthew Voss is your guy.
