Wedding Party

Crystal Bennett

Maid of Honor

Hi I’m Crystal Bennett the maid of honor. I’m so excited for every moment of Brianna and Spencer’s upcoming wedding! The music, the celebration but my absolute favorite thing is going to be the fresh brick oven pizza!! Brianna and I have known each other for over five years and have had so many amazing adventures together! One of my favorites would be lying on the beaches in Puerto Rico; soaking up the sun and exploring the city. My favorite quote is “Rule number one: I can’t kill anybody”; but that doesn’t mean I can’t help cover it up. And finally a fun fact about me is I’m a pretty good locksmith.

Jonathan Franzen

Best Man

SPENCER'S STEP BROTHER Hey everyone, I'm so happy you are considering being apart of this amazing and Holy Matrimony! I am incredibly thankful for the opportunity to grow up along side Spencer! We've shared so many great moments together, and it's been a privilege to see us both grow into the men we are today. From the lake life to leadership and church conferences, vacations, skiing trips, and even mission trips—we’ve experienced so much! But here soon, we'll get to experience something even more special: to watch Spencer marry his best friend, Brianna. It’s a moment we’ve all been looking forward to, and I couldn’t be more excited to be here to celebrate with them.

Savannah Bennett

Matron of Honor

Hi I’m Savannah Bennett the matron of honor and I’ve know Bri for about 2 years and I cannot wait to boogie on the dance floor with all the friends and family at Brianna and Spencers wedding! If I were a Disney character I’d be Marie from the Disney classic movie the aristocats; her most famous quote being “a lady never starts fights but she can finish them!” And I think the first person to cry during ceremony is going to be Spencer or Matt (Bris dad). also if you wear white I CAN and WILL spill the deepest reds of wine on you

Tim Bennett

Groomsman

Hi I’m Timothy Bennett! One of Spencer’s many, many cousins and Husband to the beautiful matron of honor for the bride! I’ve known Spencer for practically my whole life. My favorite memories with Spencer are from our very fun and slightly dangerous childhood mission trip to Nicaragua, having lots of fun get togethers (usually planned by our spouses) and playing on the worship team with him every Sunday at church! Seeing the way Spencer worships the Lord and navigates the world around him, I have no doubt he’s going make a amazing husband to Brianna—but before we get ahead of ourselves this wedding is going be such a blast so come party!!

Reese Barlow

Bridesmaid

SISTER OF THE BRIDE My name is Reese and I am Brianna's sister! I am a sophomore at Liberty University and I wait tables on weekends. I have a dog named Scooby who is my favorite thing in the world! Something a lot of people don't know about me is that I can make a mean pot of jambalaya. My favorite memory with the bride-to-be is when we rocked matching 70's outfits for high school spirit week! I can't wait to see what all God has in store for Brianna and Spencer and I am beyond honored to be a part of their special day.

Joel Franzen

Groomsman

SPENCER'S STEP BROTHER Hello! My name is Joel, and I have the honor of being one of Spencer’s stepbrothers—and now a groomsman! I’m excited to stand beside Spencer and Bri as they start their lives together! Some of my favorite memories with Spencer are from our trips to the Dominican Republic. We made some wild and lasting memories that I’ll cherish forever. A few things about me: I love black coffee with a side of “no weekend plans,” accompanied by a good book or TV show. The quote that lives rent-free in my head is, “Be greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy.” Thanks, Warren Buffett! If I were a Disney character, I’d be Peter Pan—because being an adult is boring!

Olive Sierra

Bridesmaid

Hey, I’m Olive! I’ve known Bri and Spencer since before they were a couple, and watching their love grow has been an honor. I’ll probably be the one tearing up during the ceremony because their relationship has been such a beautiful journey to witness! A fun fact about me is I’m a proud crazy cat lady, and my books and cats are my happy place! If I were a Disney character I’d be Belle—I love books and can always appreciate a good adventure.

Chris Walker

Groomsman

Howdy! my name is Chris, and I’ve had the honor of being Spencer’s friend for a long time! And now a groomsman. Spencer and I got close when we both packed up our whole lives to attend ministry school. During that time Spencer became a brother to me, and I’m so happy I get to be a part of his big day! A few things about me: hunting, fishing, and loving everyday is my moto! I own a flooring company in Florida, and I am the music director and piano player at a church here as well! Something that lives in my head rent free: P Sherman 42 wallaby way, Sydney

Faith Purdy

Bridesmaid

Hey hey! I’m Faith! Spencer is my cousin, so I’ve known him for a longgg time, but I met Bri a few years ago at church. We became nail buddies and had the best time at the salon, laughing our hearts out! A fun fact about me is that I love playing piano and singing, especially at church. And a fun fact about Bri is that she’s incredible at working the sound board! Practices were always a blast with her around.

Matthew Franzen

Groomsman

SPENCER'S STEP BROTHER Hi, I’m Spencer’s stepbrother Matt, I’m a Pilot at SkyWest Airlines. My day job includes travel, coffee, and occasional deal with people…. Night job; I’m a professional ice cream eater, rookie sleeper, and show binger. My signature drink is a simple one, ginger ale and cherry syrup. If I were a Disney Character, I’d probably be Peter Pan, able to fly would be nice, and to find the adventure in anything, with happy thoughts to keep you floating through life. First time I met Bri, I think we were at a cookout her family was hosting, just by watching the way Spencer and Bri treat each other and do life together, what they have is real.

Destiny Sierra

Bridesmaid

SPENCER'S STEP SISTER Hi, I’m Destiny! I grew up with the groom! I got a step brother that quickly became my best friend! Later in life we were all grown up and Bri entered our lives! She started coming to church and she was immediately bubbly, easy to talk to, and was stylish. A little about me… Quote/life motto: do better. Hidden Talent: Sleeping for a long long time If I were a Disney character I would be Olaf .. Most likely to cry at the wedding… ME

Dominic Sierra

Groomsman

Favorite Memory: That time Spencer and I “acquired” golf carts in the Dominican Republic in the early morning, and cruised around the resort like we owned the place. Day Job/Night Job: IT for a municipal government by day, Call of Duty warrior by night.

Tori Autrey

Bridesmaid

Hi! My name is Tori! I’m Spencer’s cousin and have been going to church with Bri for the last couple of years! I am pretty sure when they told me they started dating I audibly gasped! I so called it. A hidden talent is that I can sing the national anthem exactly like fergie. A fun fact about me is that I skipped the 6th grade and finished highschool on my 17th birthday

Brett Sipple

Groomsman

Hey I am Brett, fiance to the beautiful bridesmaid Victoria and Spencer's future cousin-in-law. I met Spencer down in the Dominican Republic, where we bonded over the love of an adrenaline rush. Fun fact about me is I love my fiancé! If I could have any super power it would probably be teleportation.

Julie Franzen

Bridesmaid

SPENCER'S STEP SISTER IN-LAW Hello! I’m Julianna! Some would say I am a listening ear, a confidant, entertainer, thought provoker, storyteller, laugh starter, tear ender, and so much more to Bri and Spencer… but me, I just say friend (I’m also related to Spencer). One of my favorite memories is when we were in the DR, involving a popcorn bucket. No more needs to be said. Which makes me so excited to create even more memories together! In the wise words of Hannah Montana “oooohhh oowwwoaah yeaa aaa yeah.”

Jesse Franzen

Groomsman

SPENCER'S STEP BROTHER Hi, I’m Jesse, and Spencer’s my stepbrother — but we just call each other brothers. I’m a cabinet maker… or something like that. My superpower is forgetting a conversation right after having it. My go-to life quote? “Watch this.” One of my favorite memories with Spencer is living it up in the Dominican Republic with loved ones. Making memories and being in each other’s lives and stories is an honor. If I were a Disney character, I’d be Goofy. And a fun fact about me: I have family members who believe in the flat Earth.

Michael Baugham

Officiant

Pastor Michael has been Brianna's pastor at Gary's United Methodist Church since she joined their youth group as a teenager, as well as his wife Debbie Baugham who was Brianna's youth leader and later pastor as well at Blandford United Methodist Church. These two greatly impacted Brianna's life and walk with Christ, and we could not imagine asking anyone else to be the person to marry us. Pastor Michael and Pastor Debbie have now moved to a different church, but Pastor Michael has graciously been given permission to give the words of service during our wedding.
