Jake & Katie
Wedding Party
Briana Iglesias
Maid of Honor
We can all thank Bri for introducing me to The Office. I don't think Jake would be marrying me if I'd never seen The Office. She posted on Facebook in 2014 looking for a freshman year roommate at Liberty. I messaged her. And now she's my maid of honor. A TON of life has happened in those 6 years. We've rejoiced on life's mountaintops together and held each other, crying in the valleys. To keep it short & sweet, Bri knows me better than most. I cannot wait to have her stand by my side on June 6, 2020!
Dave Levesque
Best Man
The best brother anyone could ask for. I spent most of my childhood looking up to Dave, and trying to be just like him. I would not be the man I am today without his constant guidance and encouragement. Also be on the lookout for his new fashion line coming out spring of 2020 "Dave Swag". Consisting of socks and Berks, hand-me-down t-shirts, and athletic shorts. Here he is pictured in "Dave Swag" choke-holding his son Gideon.
Rees Barner
Bridesmaid
Rees and I were late to our classes almost every day and sometimes skipped them altogether. She’ll always try to tell you Pittsburgh is better than Philly but it’s only because she doesn’t know any better. We can all thank Rees for teaching me to be more spontaneous and flexible with my time. Rees has made me a better person just by being herself. I can’t imagine my time at Liberty without her by my side and I definitely can’t imagine my wedding day being any different!
Jeff Snyder
Groomsman
The ultimate wingman. Jeff and I have known each other since pre-school. There's no one else in this world who makes me laugh harder. From playing on basketball teams together, to going to youth group events, to working for a party rental company in the summers, we've done it all together. The most fun and memorable times in my life involve doing stupid stuff with Jeff. We used to play with action figures and we called it "guys". Here he is pictured with my father patrolling my hometown.
Sarah DeLuca
Bridesmaid
My friendship with Sarah is exactly what I imagine it's like to have a little sister...you get along MOST of the time but sometimes you have to just be a lil competitive. Sarah has been perfecting dance moves like the whip and nae nae for about four years now. So look out dance floor!! I moved her into her freshman year dorm and now she's about to stand by my side as I get married! She'll always be the little sister I never had and I love her for it!
Tyler Levesque
Groomsman
Tyler and I go way back. Because we're cousins. We've spent many summers at Camp-Of-The-Woods in upstate New York with my dad's side of the family. Even though we only see each other about once a year, we always pick up right where we left off like it's only been a few days. We've spent many hours playing Call of Duty 4 and Fortnite blaming the internet for our terrible performances. Tyler is like a brother to me. Here he is pictured on top of a mountain. Hook 'Em.
Paige Dickerhoof
Bridesmaid
In RA training, they told us not to play “good cop, bad cop” but I’m pretty sure every girl who lived on M21-3 could tell you who was who. Paige and I are very different in a lot of ways but she has challenged me to think about life in new ways. Paige is the kind of friend who flies all the way to Australia for your birthday (shoutout to Rees too)! If you go the whole weekend not knowing who Paige is, you’ll know her when we hit the dance floor.
Kyle Huber
Groomsman
Kyle was one of my first few friends when I moved to Pennsylvania about 4 years ago. He had long hair then and everyone called him Jesus. Pretty sure that's why he got it cut. I am so thankful to have Kyle as a friend. He is honest, loyal, and one of the most humble men I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. Here he is pictured in a photo from 2014 because it's his most recent Facebook profile photo.
Savannah Blest
Bridesmaid
Savannah is one of the funniest people I know and she doesn’t even try! I hope you have the opportunity to hear her iconic sneeze (preferably during the ceremony). Savannah can make anyone laugh but she's also one of the smartest people I know. She studied Bible translating (WHAT?!) and I’m learning new things from her all the time. Savannah is the type of person that meets you where you’re at. I'm so thankful for Savannah and her friendship through the years! PS - She has a twin who you'll read about next!
Jonathan Fisher
Groomsman
Jonathan and I knew each other before Katie and I even started dating! I used to volunteer with the High School ministry tech team at Faith Church and Jonathan was on the team. Who knew that a few years later he would become my brother-in-law! I am so thankful for Jonathan and his friendship. Here he is filled with jubilee right before Katie and I got engaged.
Stephanie Blest
Bridesmaid
Steph and I have basically been friends since birth. She once ran and hugged me so hard she knocked me to the ground. I still have pain in my tailbone sometimes because of it. Steph loves hard. She has a huge heart for people and can cheer up just about anyone. This is probably why she is the cutest Kindergarten teacher ever! Steph and her twin, Savannah, have walked with me through the hardest time in my life. Sometimes I like to think of myself as their third sister only because I can't imagine life without either of them! I can't wait to have Steph as my bridesmaid on June 6 and then return the favor for her two weeks later!!!
Nick Valentine
Groomsman
What can I say about Nicholas James Valentine Jr. As cousins we go way back. I can remember all the times that we spent dressing up as pirates, army men, filming trick shot videos, and tossing around the lacrosse ball at his house. What you see is what you get with Nick and I have come to respect him enormously because of that. His heart for people is an inspiration, and his loyalty is unmatched. I am so thankful to have him as my cousin and a brother. Here he is posing for GQ magazine.
Sam Tirado
Bridesmaid
We've been on many fun adventures together, starting with the church nursery, countless youth group retreats, and then Liberty University. We've even been to Ecuador, Guatemala, and Southeast Asia together! We've also been on some pretty difficult adventures that have taught us to cling to God with everything. Through it all, Sam and I have kind of grown up together. I watched her marry one of our best friends and now I need her by my side for my own wedding!
Cameron Wilson
Groomsman
Cam and I first met each other at a worship team interest meeting for the Young Adult ministry at our church. He played drums and I was leading the team at that time. We got to talking and instantly clicked! It took no time at all for us to become the best roommates of all time. He is way smarter than me, way better looking, way better dressed, but definitely not as funny as me. You can find him watching football and renovating his house in his spare time (which is a rarity). He is a loyal and kind friend and I am so thankful to have him in my life. Here he is pictured wearing a wig.
Jenny Farnan
Bridesmaid
Jenny is as unique as the pumpkin she is holding in this photo. She sees the world differently than me a lot of times but that's what seems to grow us closer. I have learned so much from Jenny just by watching her live her life. She has a hunger to grow in the Lord that is contagious and she's a savage worship leader. She has a kind heart, motivated by compassion. She's as competitive as I am when it comes to games, which is why we'll probably never be partners. We're neighbors, coworkers, and basically family at this point. I'm excited to continue doing life with Jenny and pumped for all the good times to come!
Pablo Farnan
Groomsman
Pablo is my brother from another mother. I didn't think it was possible to literally have the same laugh as another person. He has helped me move residences every time I've moved, and has gone out of his way so many times for me in our relationship. I can't think of a more caring, loyal friend than Pablo. From doing worship for middle school retreats, to writing guitar parts, to traveling to Thailand together, to getting Wawa meatball sandwiches at 2 am, he's seen me at my best and my worst. Here is Pablo in Ireland looking anxious on a mountain.
