Annalisa & Darren
Wedding Party
Aleena Notary
Co-Matron of Honor
My older sister and longest standing role model. Wise, thoughtful, faithful, goofy, my friend... there's too much to say for this little box because I am convinced she could do anything.
Rachael Stoudt
Co-Matron of Honor
Met and bonded through a Christian small group of very different girls who all needed a place of friendship and love, and quickly became best friends then roommates for a couple years after.
Ariahna Jobe
Bridesmaid
Little sister and most goofy soul sister. I can always count on her to make me laugh and have loved our childhood full of bonding moments through our personality differences... and shared bathrooms.
Ashley Thompson
Bridesmaid
Roommate and close friend of almost two years and the person who inspires me with her high level of, and quick, willingness to do anything for the betterment of others.
Natalie Russell
Bridesmaid
Roommate and friend of almost three years who has shown me great value in our personality differences, as well as a kindred spirit of enjoying house dance parties.
Heather Wade
Bridesmaid
Sister to the groom and encouraging sister-in-law to me! Sweet and supportive even before Darren and I were dating... I took the hints ;)
Ben "Stenbone" Stone
Best Man
The adventures of Den and Barren started in college and were also roommates throughout college. Ben is very challenging to me to know God better, and I have to jump off cliffs before he does. He's wild and passionate.
Jacob "Junkyard Dog" DeYoung
Groomsman
I have known Jacob since we were 4 years old and friends ever since. Integral part of the 3 amigos. Done some sketchy things with him through the years. He's an incredible friend with truly a heart of pure gold.
Colton "Colt .45" Stegeman
Groomsman
I have known Colton since I was 5 years old and friends ever since. Colton is the last key part of the 3 amigos. Growing up I spent probably just as much time at his house as mine. He is one of the most consistent people I know. I can always count on him.
Kevin "Quickdraw" McGraw
Groomsman
I have known Kevin all throughout college. He is really one of the most loyal and trustworthy people I know. I have learned much from Kevin and through our friendship. I'll always be friends with Kevin.
Carter "Brickwall" Stoudt
Groomsman
Carter is just such a good friend. I've know him since 2013. He is incredibly humble, wise, and servant-hearted. He can also get really rowdy. Also he is the best inner-tube water polo goalie I have ever seen.
Jason "Blue" Willis
Groomsman
Blue is a gentle soul but can throw me around. He has a great sense of adventure and I've taken some great trips/road trips with him. He has a great relationship with God that I look up to. I also love his dog.
Daniel Notary and Isaac Notary
Ring Bearer
Daniel is Annalisa's brother-in-law and favorite person for a secret hand-shake. He will be walking down the aisle with his adorable and goofy-smiling son, and my nephew, Isaac.
Steven Wade and Levi Wade
Ring Bearer
Darren's little nephew assisted by Darren's brother-in-law and Levi's dad. He's a cute, smiley, happy dude. And Levi is adorable!
