Wedding Party
Caitlyn Clingenpeel
Maid of Honor
Without a doubt, Caitlyn has been my best friend ever since she was born! For years, we roomed together, dreamed together, imagined together, played together, just about anything you can think of, we did it together! And while Daddy did joke about a double wedding, we aren't getting married together :) But she will still be right by my side, supporting and encouraging me like she has for the past 19 years!
Lauren Clingenpeel
Bridesmaid
When Lauren came along, she made life a little more exciting for everyone! She was always the instigator, sometimes of trouble but more often of laughs! She is thoughtful, creative, musical, and a deep thinker, and she has a gift for helping me see things in a new way. She also never fails to be embarrassed by me and Chad, a fact we exploit often :)
Natalie Clingenpeel
Bridesmaid
Natalie is the perfect completion to this crazy group of sisters. She is good at anything she sets her mind to, which helped her keep up with everyone growing up. She loves to give good gifts and has made me cry on numerous occasions! She is compassionate, energetic, and probably still holds the title of drama queen in the family. She's the best littlest sis I could ask for!
Emma Raugh
Bridesmaid
We met in the Fall of our first year at school and immediately bonded over nursing, Jesus, and shared dreams of staying at home and loving on a family. Em quickly became one of my closest friends. She is the one I run to at school with any victory or defeat. She is a prayer warrior, she pursues Jesus fiercely, she loves well, she is always up for a Moe's date, and she enjoys a good chick-flick! I am so thankful to have her in my life and by my side on my big day!
Emily Edwards
Bridesmaid
Emily has a smile that can light up a room and a sense of humor that can make anyone laugh (she is an Edwards after all!) Ever since I met her, she reminded me of Natalie with her creativity and love for baking, arts, and crafts. Her giggle is contagious, she can find joy in the little things, and she is my partner in crime whenever I visit the Edwards! I'm thankful that I get to add another little sister to my squad :)
Adam Hendricks
Best Man
Adam and I met at Oklahoma Christian University and really hit it off. Most of our time has been spent diligently studying together and adulting in the best possible ways. Adam often comes over in the wee hours of the night just to study with me, what a bro. I couldn't dream of having anyone else be my BM. Adam and I are looking forward to growing our friendship through and after the many weddings that are to happen in the Summer of 2020 including his own.
Grayson Casey
Groomsman
Grayson and I meet through Boy Scouts of America and have been best buds ever since. We've been with eachother through the highs and the lows, and helped eachother when the other needed it. Grayson is always a default when I wanna hang with someone.
Andrew Cottingham
Groomsman
Andrew was my neighbor back home, and we played boardgames all day every day. Sometimes he even won!! Even though Andrew moved we did our best to stay in touch, and grew closer although we were further away.
Alex Edwards
Groomsman
What a bro (pun intended)! Although Alex is literally the smartest person I have ever met, I don't hold that against him. I always remember ALex proving something with something unrelated and then explaining it to us dummies at the dinner table! Alex and I grew a lot closer as the years went by, especially when we attended college together.
Matt Kim
Groomsman
Matt and I have been friends ever since we needed diversity on our robotics team. Ever since then Matt has been a honorary member of the Edwards famiry. We laugh and smile together, and have the deepest conversations at midnight runs to Japanese resturants. He is the best single guy i know ;) Matthew Kim approves this message.
Danielle Edwards
Groomswoman
Where do I start? Danielle and I have been tight ever since we were little. She was my little compadre, we did everything together. Throughout the years my heart grew larger and sadder as we grew out of those times. I have watched Danielle mature from a very young age, and cannot wait till God brings her a man as close enough to desrving of Danielle as is possible. I am so glad to have grown up with my beautiful, young, frisbee nut sister: Danielle.
Russell Edwards
Officiant
Dad was gonna be a groomsman, but then we decided he could be the officiant, and the rest is history. Dad has forever been one of my best buds. I share both my sense of humor and my genetics with him, so one could say we are pretty close. Dad taught me how to laugh at my own stories to make them sound funnier, and I am forever in his debt.
Jim Clingenpeel
Officiant
Daddy was the first man in my life and lived out what it looked like to love well. I have never doubted that he wants what is best for me, so when he let Chad past the "can I date your daughter" interview, I knew there was potential :) He has been such a spiritual leader, mentor, and friend, and I am so excited that he and Mr E will be handing down the legacies of their Godly marriages to us as we begin our lives together!
