Officiant
Dave became one of Pastor Harris’s first friends when he and Sarah arrived in Iowa nearly 10 years ago. They eventually worked together in ministry for about 4 years and he is our Senior Pastor at First Open Bible. If you are within 3 feet of him…you can expect a hug!
Father of the Bride
The myth, the man, the legend. Father of 10. Collector. Historian. MacGuyver. Laminating Afficianado. He is sentimental, funny, generous and increasingly inappropriate. We love every minute of it.
Maid of Honor
Carol attended Mount Mercy also…Go Mustangs! She witnessed our growing college friendship and has been our biggest supporter since we reconnected. She just knew. Thank you our amazing sisterbestfriend, we love you!
Best Man
Caleb is a wonderful, spirited, supportive son. He loves to tease us both and gives great hugs. You make us smile, Caleb. We love you and baby Alyiana to the moon and back.
Ring Bearer
Great nephew Gage has a wise old soul, is soft hearted and loves the outdoors. He is a great helper and hard worker. He has dreamed about working since he could talk and loves helping his Dad with everything he can.
Flower Girl
Great niece Rowen is even sassier and spicier than her mama Lauren was at this age. Hard to believe, but it's true. She is silly and stubborn and sweet all at once.
Flower Girl
Granddaughter Penelope is inquisitive, very bright and hilarious. Big Sister protector mode kicks in often, especially around baby sister Piper. She keeps us on our toes and gave me the nickname "Coco" early on.
Ring Bearer
Grandson Deacon is smart, goofy and loves dinosaurs. He reaaally loves spaghetti, you should see the aftermath. He is just a sweetie pie, but still holds his own in keeping up with big sister Penelope and can give as good as she does.
Ring Bearer
Micah David’s family are close family friends and he is Penelope’s best friend. He is a ray of sunshine who loves chameleons, singing and will probably ask you what your favorite musical instrument is. He lives next to "Papa Dave" and is a joyful neighbor to have!
