Ashley & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Blythe Picard
Matron of Honor
Blythe has been my mentor for over 5 years. Our friendship started when I babysat her youngest so that she could homeschool her 2 oldest during COVID. Her hospitality and blueberry muffins (IYKYK) paved the way for a deep friendship. She has counseled me and shared so many really hard and really joyful moments with me- including a half marathon!!! I would not be the woman I am today without all the years of love and discipleship that she has poured into me.
Allison Smith
Matron of Honor
Allison and I have been best friends since my freshman year of college, even though I have no memory of meeting her! Ha! Our running joke in college was that the only reason we were friends was because of Jesus. We had totally different interests but the Lord was the one thing we had in common. Over the years, I'm thankful we've grown to share some similar interests, and even more than that, I'm thankful we have a Proverbs 27:17 type friendship.
Marissa Fresina
Bridesmaid
Marissa is my sister! Do we look alike? Ha! Everyone either says "Yes, I knew immediately" or is totally shocked that we're even related. Growing up we bonded in or near water(the bathtub, the river or the ocean) and over cackling at our parents! I'm so glad she's standing by my side on this day not only as my biological sister but as my sister in Christ forever!
Marlea Louviere
Bridesmaid
Marlea and I have been on so many adventures together from Texas all the way to England! The Lord has truly blessed me with Marlea's friendship. She is a faithful friend who always shows up in the most intentional ways. She brings laughter to everyone and has an eye for design! She's my built-in planner and decor provider!
Lindsey Rutledge
Bridesmaid
Lindsey is so fun! She's sweet and keeps it real. I'm so thankful for her calm presence and down for anything attitude! I love that we share a love for Jesus, our careers and the beach!! I can't wait to have her by my side and keeping me calm on Wedding Day!
Isabel Gaytan
Bridesmaid
Isabel is my new sister! The first time I met Isabel she had me cracking up in the car ride back to her house from the airport. I immediately felt so comfortable and welcomed. She is a great time, full of jokes, and the best hype woman! I am so glad to be gaining her as a sister!
Pablo Gaytan
Best Man
Pablo is my brother! Who has been a type of father figure in my life growing up and throughout my adult life. I always call him anytime I have a big life-changing decision. I always looked up to him until I passed him in height around the 8th grade! I always appreciated and needed his older brother's encouragement when I was deciding to head out to Kansas for undergrad. I appreciate and love him for that, and countless other things.
Josh Dovenbarger
Groomsman
Josh is my best friend, but also known as "my whiteboy", who I met in Kansas at Bethany. We first met over him calling me "chocolate" (Don't ask, it's such a stupid story haha) and then me asking if he had a toothbrush because I forgot to pack one traveling across the country. I love him like a brother, and he has been there for me when I wasn't a believer, and I was struggling. But also pointed me towards Christ through his encouragement and accountability. Without him, I would not have grown as much as I have personally and as a Christian.
Cameron Foss
Groomsman
Cameron, I met through Josh while I was at Bethany! I met him on a weekend when he came down to visit, and after that, we kept in contact. It wasn't until I moved to Colorado in 2020 that Cameron and I became closer, and I started to seek counsel from him on large life decisions or things I may have been struggling with. I always respected and loved Cameron because of his ability to be honest and straightforward while being encouraging. Anytime I can be around him and his whole family, it makes me feel like I am at home, and for that, I will always love him and his family for it.
Nick Barrio
Groomsman
I have known Nick only since January 2025, we met through my church's small group at Redeemer. Regardless of how short a time we've known each other, Nick has been an amazing brother in Christ. Always praying for and with one another. Nick is someone who will always be in your corner and be there for everything and anything you could need from him. I am always encouraged by his hunger to know Christ more and more every day. He is a great example of a man striving to have a heart and attitude like Christ and has been an encouragement to me in that area since knowing him.
Trey Nundley
Groomsman
Trey and I met through Josh's wife, Bailey, when he came out to visit Colorado in 2021. We got along super well and I took him on an offer to come visit him when he lived in Maryland. We slowly got closer through checking in with one another, seeing how were doing spiritually and personally. Trey has always been wise and given my perspectives that I had not considered and encouraged me in my tough moments as well. I am so grateful the lord placed him in my life, and I am encouraged to see him be the husband and father he has become. He is another example of the men I have learned from and strive to be like in various parts of my life. I am excited for him and the others who fit this to stand with me!
Clay Stirling
Groomsman
I met Clay when I lived in Montana. He came up to me when I attended Grace Bible Church in Bozeman. Funny story, but I was walking with some coworkers to a sandwich shop near campus, and he yells "HEY MARCUS!" Obviously, my name isn't Marcus, but man, I never let him off for that one haha. But Clay helped me so much with my faith, truly being the first to show me what it means to be a part of a church body, being prayed for, being loved on, and helping me not feel alone in Bozeman. Clay truly helped me become a stronger Christian and was a model for how to be a loving husband and one who dies to self and helps others that the lords put in his way! So grateful for Clay and his wife, Mahlet, for how much they loved me and for the Lord placing them in my life.
