Andrew William & Julia Clara
Wedding Party
Hannah Rodriguez
Matron of Honor
Hannah and Julia became friends while in nursing school and quickly grew close while serving in church together as youth leaders. Hannah is married to her best friend Ricky, but always makes sure to have a spare guest room available for Julia (and now Drew) to come visit. She will always remember her first love... Julia.
Beth Spelter
Bridesmaid
Beth is Julia's second oldest sister who is known by her organizational skills, love for plants, and her desire to be taller than her younger siblings. Beth is eager, passionate and is the best mom to her son Cayden. Wish them luck on their 46 high peak adventure!
Stephanie Spelter
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is Julia's younger sister who knows a bit too much about Julia from their time sharing a room together growing up. Stephanie has a unique love for nature, animals (specifically horses, dogs, and bunnies) and will always be up for a Disney trip... or two!
Lila Girling
Bridesmaid
Lila is Julia's close family friend who is as close as a sister and has been in the Spelter's lives for longer than Julia can remember. She brings laughter to every room, and is the best thrift shopper you will ever meet. Lila is especially known for being barefoot and enjoying the outdoors by biking, swimming, paddle boarding, running, and more.
Sofia Spelter
Bridesmaid
Sofia and Julia met in 2025 and a year later, Julia is proud to call Sofia her sister in law! Sofia is the best cook of Peruvian food (or probably any kind of food) in the Spelter family. She brings so much joy and love with her everywhere she goes. Julia is excited to have Sofia by her side on her wedding day.
Dominica Spelter
Junior Bridesmaid
Dominica is Sofia's daughter and Julia's new niece who she loves dearly. Dominica brings energy and spunk into Julia's life and those around her. Ask her about Lilo and Stitch and she will have plenty to tell you.
Micah Hawthorne
Best Man
Micah is the second brother in the Hawthorne family. He spends his time trying to be just like his big brother, who frequently catches him standing on his tiptoes in order to be of similar height in photos. However, what Micah lacks in height, he makes up for in heart, something his bigger brother has always admired about him.
Kyle Jennings
Groomsman
Kyle is a human being.
Caleb Pringle
Groomsman
Caleb and Drew met in college. They eventually became friends through their tolerance for one another after being forced to take the same classes together for three years. Through premonition, they decided to do the same thing through seminary. Caleb and Drew enjoy almost none of the same things, but are for some reason still friends. Perhaps it was all of the 3am fast food runs in college…
Kevin Jennings
Groomsman
Kevin has been a part of Drew’s life since he was in elementary school. He taught Drew a love for the outdoors and a respect for the Lord in nature and daily living. He also modeled patience for Drew, as Drew doubtlessly spooked many a turkey as a child while hunting that would have otherwise been on Kevin’s wall if he had been hunting solo. He has been a constant source of encouragement and an inspirational model of biblical manhood in Drew’s life.
Josiah Hawthorne
Groomsman
Josiah is the youngest brother of the Hawthorne family. He spends his days practicing sports, playing drums, finding random facts and pieces of information, and planning on how to better utilize his older brothers as jungle gyms. Drew and Josiah have bonded over many things, but mostly Dippin’ Dots.
Cayden Spelter
Junior Groomsman
Cayden and Drew met last year (through Julia). Cayden has been Drew's tour guide through New York and they've bonded over hikes, game nights, and an occasional session of "Among Us" over a 4,000 mile distant video call. Drew is excited to have Cayden in the wedding party, as it will likely raise the overall Groomsmen's charisma by at least 9%.
