Courtney & David
Wedding Party
Sarah Lenz
Matron of Honor
Sarah was my very first best friend who happened to double as my sister. She shared the Gospel with me one night when I was four years old, and has continued to be a huge role model in my life ever since. I have learned so much from watching her faithfully pursue the Lord through all of life's ups and downs, and through the unconditional love and kindness she shows her foster kiddos and students. Sarah, thank you for your constant love and support for me, I will forever look up to you!
Melissa Maddox
Bridesmaid
Melissa and I met in Sunday school before we could even remember, and praise the Lord for this friendship!! From Needtobreathe concerts, to impromptu photoshoots, to late night chats on our bedroom floors, Melissa has been by my side through it all! I could always count on her to be napping in my bedroom chair when I got home and waking up ready to recap our days. I am so thankful for the wisdom, fun, and adventure she brings into my life and her consistence in encouraging me to workout even after receiving so many "nah, I'm good's". Big fan of you, Mobie!
Anna West
Bridesmaid
Wow, let me just say, this gal is one of my biggest blessings! Anna and I grew up in church together and decided by eighth grade that we would be roommates in college. Anna moved to Connecticut in high school, and from even thousands of miles away, she was one of my closest, most constant friends! She is incredibly intentional, so so wise, and gives the best hugs ever! She also has taught me everything I know about the life skills I need to survive. I could not thank the Lord enough for her presence in my life!
Maddy Ratliff
Bridesmaid
Thank you K-West for this buddy of mine! Maddy and I met at Kamp while I worked in the nurse's station and she was the Kamp photographer. For two summers, we bonded over morning walks, late night star-gazing on the pool deck, and munching on all the contraband snacks I had collected between terms. She also was present for David and I's first ever hangout, WOAH! I am so thankful to finally live in the same state as this sweet friend and get to soak up her joy and wisdom in every Texas adventure!
Allie Kelley
Bridesmaid
Allie and I both were accepted to the residency program at our hospital at the same time. She was moving from California, I was moving from Missouri, and both of us were searching for a roommate. Slightly nervous, I agreed to live with this stranger I met over facebook, and she became my first best friend in Fort Worth! I am so grateful the Lord provided me with such a God-fearing, thoughtful, and caring gal to become my roommate, who quickly made this new city feel like home!
Hannah Herring
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I were placed into the same community group at church, and not long after had agreed to move into the cutest lil house with Allie! Since, we have enjoyed roommie bike rides, lots of monopoly and dutch blitz, walking our pups around the neighborhood, and exploring the city in our matching white sneakers! Hannah is so intentional and caring, incredibly gifted at encouraging others, and is the best listener! I am so thankful to be known and loved by her and to get to watch her pursue others with the love of Christ!
Amanda Jesudasen
Bridesmaid
Because of David, I get to claim Amanda as my new sister, and I am so pumped! She has been so kind and welcoming to me, and so intentional about getting to know my heart! We share a mutual love for coffee, Disney, puppies, and Jesus, and what could be better! Thank you, Amanda and Jason, for pursuing me so well and making me feel truly at home in your family!
Brandy Parker
Bridesmaid
Brandy and I met in youth group in high school and spent our first year of college at Mizzou as roommates! She makes my life so bright and fun, and makes me wish I was actually capable of dancing! I miss our family dinners at Plaza 900, our late night shenanigans in the dorm room, and our absolutely jammin car rides! Her laugh is infectious and her heart is so so big, and she has been such a sweet friend to me!
Mark Schaefer
Best Man
Mark and I fought a lot as kids but I made him my best man so I guess our relationship is ok now.
Nathan Elam
Groomsman
Nathan and I met the first week of freshman year as we were paired as suitemates, we went on to live together the rest of our time at TCU. Our friendship has always been on the rocks though since he could never beat me at ping pong.
Zac Greco
Groomsman
Zac and I met through an on campus ministry called K-Life and became friends quickly. If you have time to talk to Zac you should ask him about how he strongly believes that Kobe is the greatest basketball player of all time.
Mason Priess
Groomsman
Mason and I met through K-Life and have lived together for the last few years. I think Mason is secretly upset about me moving out because I am the one who always unloads the dishwasher.
Michael White
Groomsman
Michael and I met through our fraternity at TCU. He is my "little" in the fraternity and copies everything I do. I choose to be an accountant, then so does he, I get engaged and then a few months later he does the same. Next thing I know he is going to get married soon too.
Philip Vu
Groomsman
Phillip and I met on the tennis team in highschool and became good friends. Phillip loves to travel and I think is secretly going to try and crash our honeymoon for a tik tok.
Jason Jesudasen
Groomsman
Jason is my brother-in-law and works at a church in Southern California called Saddleback. If there was a power rankings for pastor's sneaker collections he would probably be at the top.
Zach Pinnell
Groomsman
Zach and I met on my first trip out to St. Louis and I am glad to be gaining him as a brother. We both have a common interest in business/finance. So Courtney, if I lose our money on a risky trade you can probably blame your brother.
