Dan Murray
Groomsman
Dan was Chad's childhood neighbor since Chad moved to New Hampshire at the tender age of 5.

David Hansen
Groomsman
David has been a friend of Chad's in adulthood, fellow sports enthusiast, and church member. He has been a family friend since they grew up together at Fairwood. A real estate agent by trade, David managed to entice Chad into being his first client to buy or sell a home with him three times over!

Jamie Earhart
Matron of Honor
I just can't say enough about this woman. She is one of the biggest gifts that the Lord has ever given me. Jamie is like a sister to me and has fiercely stood by my side through so many ups and downs in life always pointing me back to Jesus and embodying him to me in our friendship. The mother of 5 and wife to Jared, she is a wicked seamstress and shows me in the way she serves her family and me, what beauty a heart of surrender to Jesus can produce. I want to honor her love and example by having her by my side at the wedding (like she is in life)!
Megan Lutman
Matron of Honor
Doll.....the comic relief. My baby sister. Practical. Hardworking. The one whose heart is generous and who keeps me laughing. I have seen her come up against some big challenges and persevere. I have also gotten to see her faith go from theory to practice. She loves to plan social events and is the glue that holds her friend groups together. I am so grateful to have her by my side!
Darla Svoboda
Matron of Honor
Darla is my younger sister and the sister who is responsible for making me an "Auntie!" and I am eternally grateful. One of the most beautiful things I have seen on this planet is Darla becoming a mother- it was breathtaking. She works hard to balance her job and family as she cares for her babies fiercely. Harolded by her patients' families as doing an exceptional job offering them empathy and care, my sister represents Christ to them daily.
Tiffany Tinley "T"
Bridesmaid
Buuuuuuuuddy! Who knew that your best friend from High School would still be such a fabulous companion on this journey 20+ years later?!? Tiffany has always seen and celebrated the good in me before I could recognize it myself. And she fights for me when I can't. She is a reeeeeeeeally good friend who has stood by me through the burdens of High School, through deaths and romances and difficulties of faith to now: a world of three kids and a long-awaited for marriage! She is a gem among women, and I am thrilled to have her by my side!
Nicole Purcell "Ram"
Bridesmaid
"I just believe that the Lord has a husband for you, Amy." Nicole or Ram as I like to call her has said this to me on several occasions. This woman of faith and grit has held hope for my covenant partner when I could not. She is honest and caring and for over a decade has tried to help me relax on my days off. Her support and care during difficult times has helped me keep my head above water by pointing me to Jesus. I love to see how she parents and serves - it is a gorgeous sight! Thanks, Ram, for standing by my side at the wedding and in life!
Lynnette Jaeger "Net"
Bridesmaid
THIS WOMAN!!!!! She is my bosom friend! As Anne Shirley says, "A bosom friend--an intimate friend, you know--a really kindred spirit to whom I can confide my innermost soul." And that is how I feel about Net - I can (and have and plan to continue) to confide with her, "my innermost soul." Sometimes it feels like our souls have been connected forever, and we just became aware of it in college. She loves to read and think and throw themed parties - what else could someone ask for?! I am grateful, my sweet Net, for our bosom friendship and want to honor it and you with you by my side!
Lindsay Price aka "Cousin"
Bridesmaid
Lindsay was one of my first friends because she is my cousin. Every Christmas day as children I would BEG our parents to see if she could stay longer so we could continue to play. Although we really embody such different personalities and physical attributes she is one of my favorite people on earth. Musical, artistic, and practical she balances me out. Every time I have described Chad to Lindsay (from first meeting him to now) she says, "Yes. I get him. He and I are the same people. A good match for you." I didn't choose to have you as my cousin, but I joyfully choose to have you by my side!
Jennifer McGregor
Bridesmaid
This woman! Jenn and I met when she wanted to lead a High School Bible study with me. She was intimidated, because I went to Moody, and I was intimidated because she was a well-established woman with a condo and a career. The Lord chose us to be partners to show me what it is like to lean into and celebrate the gifts of another! And she has been a comfort and joy in that ever since. Her quiet and gentle support has supported me in joyous and grief-worthy times alike. I love to be sharpened and loved by Jenn and to honor her role in my life by having her by my side!
Rochelle Gundu "Ro"
Bridesmaid
Rochelle can almost simultaneously make me belly laugh until I snort and ponder the depths of the Gospel in our lives. Being her friend is like watching 'Steel Magnolias:' sincerely crying to spontaneous laughter within one scene. She sits and prays with me is trial and celebrates with me in victories. Ro was my roommate longer than anyone else - we have joked that the iron sharpening took a little longer between the two of us. But because of that, I feel like the recipe of my life has a generous helping of Rochelle, and I am so much better for it. Thank you, Ro, for standing by my side, sweet friend.
Karen Rockett
Bridesmaid
KEWEN. What kind of woman endures such a nickname? A FABULOUS ONE. And she doesn't just answer to it from me, but my entire family!!! This woman is one of the strongest I know: facing great struggle and tragedy and still standing. Wow. I am grateful for the way she cares for me and really understands how much I like presents, dresses, and polka dots (as it is my favorite color). She shares dishes with me so we can both try "all the tastes" and geeks out with me over musicals. She is a gem, and I am proud to have her by my side!
Stacy Shelton
Personal Assistant
Stacy is a gift right from Jesus's hand to mine. The Lord has used her in the last 5 years to encourage me and give me hope in places I scarcely believed I could have hope. And she did that by just living her life right in front of me. And I haven't even started to talk about her generosity. It is like the fount from above. Seriously, I have never met such a flagrantly generous person in my entire life. Every time I turn around she is gifting me with care, time, and service. What a surprise gift from our King! Good thing the Marco Polo app works from state to state, because I won't be able to give up our friendship when I move. I am so grateful for Stacy!
Christina Basham
Guest Book Attendant
A real lover of souls is Christina. Her grace as a counselor, educator, and friend is award-winning. You will never feel more seen as in Christina's presence, as I have experienced on countless occasions. She is a friend that I want to be like, and I sometimes pinch myself knowing she has chosen to hang out with me. She is a real connoisseur of 90's music, plants, and smiles. And she is in love with Jesus. What more could you ask for in a friend?
