Wedding Party
Kenleigh Cooper
Maid of Honor
Chance saved her life once. She prayed for us to get here today, and she is very dear to both of our hearts. We love you Kenleigh! Anna and Kenleigh had a great chance to bond during their 14 hour bus ride home from beach camp- Kenleigh was carsick most of the trip and Anna was nearly unable to walk due to swollen knees but somehow they had the energy to live-stream the front of the bus belting All-Star by Smashmouth, annoy the sweet bus driver til he nearly lost it and giggled for nearly 10 hours straight.
Laramie Cooper
Best Man
Did not save Kenleigh's life but as her other uncle we're sure he would if he had the opportunity. Laramie is Chance's younger brother and Chance once ran him over with his dirtbike. Also infamous for hating school and doing anything to get out of it! Laramie is voted most likely to drive to another state to find his favorite whiskey. More than once.
Christina Hedges
Bridesmaid
Both Anna and Christina are convinced they share the same brain. If you are the third person in a casual conversation and they are both fully caffeinated you may actually be able to see rabbit trails visibly being formed before your eyes. Christina is a true blue friend with a beautifully humble attitude and a huge heart. She is the person that will give you the truth when you need to hear it most even if it's uncomfortable and she will cheer you on at the right moment as well! She is so happy to be by Anna's side as she marries Chance!
Jason Cooper
Co-Best Man
Chance's older brother and probably has saved many lives as well as Kenleigh's. Jason is, according to his family, the typical oldest sibling. He's outspoken, stubborn, independent and it's hard for him to admit when he's wrong. If he were to fill out a resume he probably would say he "has a strong sense of justice". Jason was once caught egging cars by the cops during the Prairie Grove Junior-Senior Wars and ironically is now a Farmington Police Sergeant. Those two facts are likely unrelated. Voted most stubborn of the trio and least likely to admit he’s wrong.
Adrienne Woody
Bridesmaid
Adrienne is one of those people that walks into a room, sits quietly at the back and ends up in conversations that make people feel like they are the only person in the world at that moment. She has a gift for listening and speaking at the right time, giving well-considered advice and asking the perfect questions. She remembers your conversations and makes you feel completely seen. She is secretly goofy and her childlike spirit shines especially when she's chowing down on lunch after a long Sunday morning of caring for kids and serving our church. Her former-cheer self comes out sometimes when the right mood strikes and if you ever work out with her you will see her passion for technique, attention to detail and her quiet power. Though she be but little she is fierce! Adrienne has been one of Anna's trusted mentors and friends through hard times and good. She is truly a blessing to many!
Dustin Long
Groomsman
Chance's bestie since 2nd grade who shares his dry sense of humor and brings out his ornery side. Dustin likes to sleep near campfires and let the embers create little air holes in his tent. Once after being stabbed in the foot by Chance while frog gigging he decided to return the favor by hitting Chance in the head with a boulder "on accident".
Sarra “Uncle Duh” Eastman
Bridesmaid
Anna’s Sister-in-law for over a decade and friend for just as long. She has been a fantastic aunt and sister for years and we are so blessed to have her in our lives! Sarra was present when Anna received her first speeding ticket trying to get her home in time for curfew. Asher grew up thinking that Sarra was one of her uncles and called her Uncle Duh for years!!
Asher Eastman
Groomsman
Asher was skeptical of Chance starting out but warmed up very quickly and dreams of ways to give him a hard time. He also looks forward to Chance being a part of the family and together living a full life with everyone! Asher is an enthusiastic musician and honor student. His quiet and meek personality in public convince people he doesn’t talk much but get him one-on-one and you will realize you’ve been very mistaken! Asher would also like to thank Justin Michael Coyne for being one cool dude.
