Ariel & Bradley
Wedding Party
Ariel Yeager
Bride
Me here! I look forward to seeing everyone on the day God joins Bradley and I in marriage.
Bradley Weatherington
Groom
My best friend and life partner. He is loving, funny, kind, caring, and so much more. I prayed for a Godly man that would love me and support Gods plan for my life and here he is. I first met him at Holly Hill, but God saw fit to lead us in seperate directions, until July 4, 2018. Which is when he saw me and it was "love" at first sight. The rest is history in the making. I knew quickly he was the man for me, God kept giving hints as to him being the one. One being, the first Sunday we attended church together, we listened to a sermon on the way and they were preaching on Ruth and Boaz, then when we got to church Pastor Tom was also preaching on Ruth and Boaz. History here is God taught me at a girls ministries retreat in 2007 to look for a Boaz not a Bozo. Read Ruth for understanding.
Tom Johnson
Officiant
Our forever Pastor. We were blessed to have him play a huge impact on our young walks with God and now still as adults. He has been a near and dear friend to Bradley for many years. I used to spend Sundays after church with his family, enjoying Mrs. Cathy's amazing cooking and falling asleep watching movies with Meredith-Anne. I am so very greatful for this Man of God and his family. We could not be happier to have him unite us in marriage.
Samanatha Huff
Mother of the Bride
This beautiful lady has been my backbone from day one. She has a heart of gold and would give the shirt off her back and shoes off her feet to a stranger in need. I am blessed beyond measure to call her Mama, and so happy she will be the one giving me away in marriage. I pray God makes me the Wife and Mother she is to our family.
Caitlin Yeager
Bridesmaid
The best friend/cousin. We have had many andventures together, and have shared many growing experiences. She is my ride or die and I love her for it. God blessed me with many cousins and I am so glad he made me close to them. I am so blessed to have her with me as I marry my forever.
Carlee Stevens

The little sister. I've had her since ’96 and am thankful God blessed me with her. She is very forgiving of all the torture I put her through as kids, and the teasing as adults. We share the most and best memories. She is one of the best people I know. We have been at the alter together many times in the past and I am so glad she will be standing by my side there on my wedding day.

Diamond Jenkins
Bridesmaid
My best friend here. She has been there through thick and thin. I have known Diamond since middle school. We grew up in band together (go saxophones) and became the best of friends. Her family quickly became my family and mine hers. We spent many of nights driving around on adventures (or as she would say “getting lost”). As we have become adults we have watched each other grow as women and face hardship and happiness together. One of my favorite things we share now is cooking/baking and board games. I love her like crazy and am beyond blessed to have her as my friend and by my side at the alter.
