Wedding Party
R. Caleb Emerson
Groom
Sami Buettell
Bride
James Barber
Best Man
I met James during my freshman year at Cedarville. We have been through a lot of ups and downs but the Lord has blessed us through our friendship. I'm very proud of the man and husband he has become and he has also completed ranger school in the Army!
Madalyn Church
Maid of Honor
I met Maddy in high school. We had Spanish class together, and we got paired up to do an assignment together. We went from discussing Spanish projects to being best friends in no time. I can't imagine my special day without her.
Chandler Emerson
Best Man II
Chandler is my little brother and has been my best friend ever since we were kids! I'm so grateful that we can have such a great relationship in spite of the fact that we are complete opposites.
McKayla Boldt
Matron of Honor
We met in high school and played volleyball and basketball together. We have so many good memories, whether that be from school, work, or sports. I have also learned not to get in her way. She throws a mean right hook from experiencing her punching an opponent in basketball.
Dan Esbenshade
Groomsman
I met Dan at Cedarville and we have built a friendship on our love for cars. It's been amazing to have a friend in Dan because he is a blast to be around due to his goofy tendencies. One day he plans to tune a Crown Vic into an absolute sleeper.
Abbey Buettell
Bridesmaid
Abbey is my sister-in-law and married my oldest brother, Stephen. She has attended all my softball games and is one of my biggest supporters. We play our favorite game in Florida, "British Golf," and there is never a dull moment. I look up to Abbey more than she knows, and I am very thankful for her.
Drew Kratche
Groomsman
I met Drew at Cedarville. Drew is a goofy guy who loves to yell, "COME ON." Everyone would agree he is a fun person to be around. It's been a blessing to get to know someone who is true to himself and genuinely loves the Lord.
Kennedy Walling
Bridesmaid
We met in college during one of our many psychology classes together. I sat next to her, and from that day on, we became friends. We were roommates and have many crazy memories together. One of my favorite memories is when we went to Passion in Georgia. It was a very eventful trip, but what happened in Atlanta stays in Atlanta. ;)
Elijah Marrah
Groomsman
I met Elijah through our friend James. He is my roommate now and is definitely considered the life of the party. I've been fortunate to have a friend who has my back no matter the circumstance, someone I can rely on to be there during the hardships of life.
McKenna Smith
Bridesmaid
We met by playing softball together at Cedarville. Our friendship blossomed over the love of coffee. I can't even tell you the number of times we drove to Starbucks to study, listen to music, or just because. She was the mastermind behind all our pranks and the best getaway driver by far. I couldn't imagine my special day without my partner in crime.
Tommy Ansiel
Groomsman
I met Tommy at Cedarville University through some of our mutual friends. We were in a Bible study together as well which let me get to know him on a deeper level and am blessed God was able to work through our lives during this time.
Sophia Hevel
Bridesmaid
Sophia and I met through Cedarville softball. Mckenna, Soph, and I are always seen together. Sophia is hilarious if you can get by her RBF. Without Sophia, the bridal party would seem to be incomplete. She is the life of the party, and I couldn't imagine her not being there with me when I say "I do."
Joe Deloy
Groomsman
Met Joe at Cedarville and he has been a great friend to me. Loved playing on the basketball court with him even when it got heated. Been a joy to see our relationship grow and always can count on a good time when hanging out with Joe. Thankful to God for Joe's friendship.
Taylor Buettell
Bridesmaid
She is my other sister-in-law and is married to my brother, Tom. She is the mother of THE cutest babies and the biggest Duke fan I have ever met. She took me to get my first tattoo, and we share a love of the beach.
Noah Errichetti
Groomsman
Noah I met at Cedarville University. Noah has become one of my best friends and we have made a lot of fun memories together. From playing video games with Diebieto to hooping on JV together it has been a blast. Blessed the Lord put a friend like him in my life.
