Wedding Party
Bailey & Conner
Bride & Groom
HEY Y'ALL! We are the reason you're here, but we wanted to say that we are so grateful for each and every one of you. Your sacrifices and support have meant the world to us, and words cannot begin to describe how much we love you. This page is more so you can get to know our bridal party and some of the important people in our life. Thank you for being a part of our beginning!
Chloe Pepper
Maid of Honor
Chloe is Bailey's only sister and, fittingly, is also the Maid of Honor. Chloe will do anything for her daily sweet treat - including kiss up to Conner because she knows he will pay for it. Whether it's a day at the mall, or a quick Starbucks run, Chloe is full of laughs and it only makes sense that she is a part of this big day.
Brayden Englert
Best Man
Though Brayden is Conner’s cousin, they’ve always been more like brothers. As Conner’s best man, Brayden plays a key role on such a special day because he’s been there through every season of Conner’s life, and has been faithfully making fun of Conner throughout it all. He’s often the joy in the room—bringing people together while being the friend everyone needs. There’s no character quite as strong as his.
Caitlyn Harris
Matron of Honor
Caitlyn is Conner's oldest sister, but that description barely scratches the surface. In 2021, Caitlyn and Bailey began working together, before Conner and Bailey were even friends. Caitlyn quickly became the older sister to Bailey that she had been to Conner for so long. Caitlyn has given Conner and Bailey the gift of a trusted sister, a well of wisdom, and a lifelong friend. Rightfully so, she will be our Matron of Honor.
Ryan Harris
Groomsman
Conner always wondered what it would be like to have a brother—and Ryan exceeded all expectations. As his brother-in-law, Ryan has been there through both the hardest and best of times. From serving the Lord, loving the people around him, or constantly making color blind jokes, Ryan doesn’t do anything halfway. Ryan is more than devoted—he’s passionate and fiercely loyal to those he holds close.
Haley Gainer
Bridesmaid
Haley and Bailey (or Hales and Bails) met in youth group in 2013. From the very beginning, their shared passion of Jesus, music, and coffee sparked a deep friendship. Haley can be found socializing with friends, at a sporting event, or grabbing a sweet treat. Haley and Bailey's friendship has seen many different stages and, through it all, their bond has only come out stronger than before so, of course, Haley said yes to being a bridesmaid.
Jacob Pepper
Groomsman
Jacob is Bailey's oldest brother, and given that Jacob and Bailey have had a very close relationship, Conner knew he would have to win Jacob over as a brother. Jacob had to be in the bridal party because the relationship he and Conner have built goes far beyond in-laws—it’s a true brotherhood. Jacob is artistic and creative, always playing guitar and learning new songs, and he brings a deep connection into every interaction. No one loves as deeply as he does. Just wait until you see his dance moves.
Madison Nash
Bridesmaid
Maddy and Bailey met through youth group at church, and they were the epitome of balancing each other out. Maddy is the kind of girl who loves spending time with friends or at the gym - or both if she can. But, most of all, Maddy is a woman who is constantly pursuing the Lord’s will and encouraging others to do the same. Of course, it only makes sense that Maddy would be a part of this special day.
Richard Ruiz
Groomsman
Growing up as the friend down the street, Conner and Richard naturally went through every season of life together - including the time Richard accidentally hit a hole-in-one. They probably didn’t imagine the lifelong relationship that would form from their neighborhood friendship, but here they are. Richard is a man after God’s own heart—loving at every turn and always there when you need him most.
Abbey Cisneros
Bridesmaid
Abbey and Bailey knew of each other for a while, but began growing close when they were in youth together. Although their friendship wasn't planned, Abbey and Bailey have walked through similar stages of life together, even with them currently going to the same college! Abbey is the girl who absolutely requires an iced matcha and a Chick-Fil-A run on a weekly basis, and Bailey is 100% here for it. Their caffeine addiction and friendship run deep, so of course Abbey is a bridesmaid for this big day!
Brayden Guthrie
Groomsman
Although their friendship only began a few years ago, Brayden and Conner both knew they were building something deep for the years to come. As “iron sharpens iron,” Brayden has become one of Conner’s main pillars of faith - and also encourages Conner to buy random things off of Facebook Marketplace. He’s the life of the party and brings joy you never knew you needed.
Danielle Martin
Bridesmaid
Dani and Bailey met in 2022 when Dani ran up to Bailey and fully welcomed her into the community at LPU. Dani and Bailey didn't know this yet, but this would be the beginning of a lifelong friendship. Dani is a Godly woman and loyal friend who embodies “iron sharpening iron,” so it was only fitting that Dani would stand by Bailey's side on this big day.
Hunter Shultz
Groomsman
Conner and Hunter met in Australia and quickly developed a deep connection through their similar upbringings and personalities. There are only so many people who understand Conner the way Hunter does—and most are family. Hunter is passionate and driven, always placing God at the center of his decisions (as well as his love for Texas and his family). Anyone would be blessed to call him a friend, let alone have him stand beside you on your wedding day.
Laney Delaplane
Bridesmaid
Laney and Bailey met when they began to do ministry together. Although Bailey was still in high school, Laney (as she does with everyone) saw something in Bailey that Bailey didn't quite see in herself yet. Laney brings joy to every room she walks into (and probably a charcuterie board somehow). Knowing Laney's heart for the Lord and for those she loves, there was never a question that she’d be part of this day.
Jan Peiter Jansen
Groomsman
Conner spent a portion of his life far from Southern California, and of all the people who impacted him during that time, JP is at the top of the list. Jan Pieter Jansen is a Godly man who values spending quality time with friends. So, it makes sense that JP was the one who supported Conner through every challenging stage—despite the distance. A European pastor who pursues wisdom at every opportunity, JP’s presence at the wedding is a true honor.
Luke Pepper
Ring Security
Luke is Bailey's youngest brother, but (trust me) you will not miss him. Luke is unapologetically himself, loving boldly and living wildly. Luke brings joy and excitement to everyone he interacts with. Luke asked Bailey if he would be invited to her wedding, so of course, she assured him that he would actually be IN the wedding.
River Harris
Ring Security
River is Conner’s nephew—and as a ring bearer, he’s the one who will keep everything together. He’s always excited to show you what he’s passionate about and invite you into his world. River loves with everything he’s got and will likely lead the charge down the aisle with such precious cargo in hand.
Graham Harris
Ring Security
Graham is another one of Conner’s nephews, and he always seems to steal the show. As the middle child, he somehow craves his own space even while everyone wants to be around him. He’s a bundle of joy who loves deeply—and is sure to make you smile.
