Wedding Party

Michelle Baldwin

Bride

Gabriel Ruple

Groom

Paige Broker

Maid of Honor

They were forced to be friends when they first met. But, this forced friendship became real. They soon became best friends. They would ride to school together, did cheer together, and spent a lot of time hanging out at the park or sleeping at each others houses.

Johnathan Schwartz

Best Man

They met at the ages of 6 and 7 and have been best friends since. Growing up across the street from each other and spending most of their time fishing, they could almost always be found somewhere on Palmer Lake or Swan Creek with a rod and reel in hand.

Caitlin Root

Co-Maid of Honor

She had just moved to Colon and had become friends with people inside our group. They became friends because the group would hangout together. This group began to fade, but their friendship only got stronger. They started hanging out more often alone, and had become best friends within the year. They were each others rock.

Joseph Ruple

Groomsman

Joe is the youngest of the groom's older brothers. As the brother of the closest age, Joe spent the most time with the groom during childhood. As the oldest of the younger four siblings, he was often the voice of reason in arguments among them, and is still looked to by the groom as a trusted friend.

Aliyah Baldwin

Bridesmaid

They are sisters. At first they weren't very nice to each other, I mean who's nice to their little siblings, Once they both matured, and became adults, they began to hang out more. Now they are close and hang out more frequently.

Matthew Haack

Groomsman

Matt is the middle of the groom's older brothers. Often sharing interests such as fishing, automotive work, home improvement, and other outdoorsman's activities, Matt has often been looked to as a mentor (though sometimes it is debatable who is teaching who).

Megan Collins

Bridesmaid

She started dating the brides best guy friend. At first, they didn't really hang out. But, after a year or so, they began to hang out without the guy friend around. They started to become close and eventually could tell each other everything. It didn't take long for them to become best friends.

Joshua Ruple

Groomsman

Joshua is the oldest of the groom's brothers. When the groom was often Ill as a child, Josh was a significant person of comfort. Later, Josh would serve as a role model to the groom.

Emory Ruple and Nova

Flower Child

Emory is the groom's son. Nova is the couples dog. Nova is our flower girl and Emory will be walking her down the aisle. So, technically he's the "Flower Boy." But he loves it.

Patrick Ruple

Ring Bearer

Patrick is the grooms son. Outgoing and enthusiastic, Patrick loves helping out with anything he can, and couldn't be more excited to share this big day with everyone!
