Wedding Party
Gabby Sargent
Matron of Honor
With Gabby and my gap, our relationship wasn't as close as my other siblings. So I counted it a blessing to move home after graduating college while Gabby was still in high school to get a second chance at a closer sisterhood! Gabby and her husband Sean work with student athletes at Miami University through Athletes in Action
Mallory Sims
Maid of Honor
Mallory was my first ever roommate and my parents were sorely disappointed when her neater tendencies didn't rub off on me, but rather, my chaos rubbed off on her. Mal is a kick-butt nurse in Colorado and recently became a dog-mom to a cutie named Moku.
Bethany Davis
Bridesmaid
Bethany and I are funny friends. Having never lived in the same city, let alone the same state (she being in Ohio now), we make friendship work. Having met Bethany through mutual friends in college, we reconnected about 7 years ago and she's been a voice of logic to my crazy and I like to think I bring a bit of a wild-card element to her life.
Erika Daun
Bridesmaid
In joining up with the Daun family, I'm fortunate to gain 2 sisters. One of which is Erika. Erika is a PAR-TAY and has many talents. With an eye for design, she keeps the Daun family looking fine! But seriously, she is a talented costume designer making the trip from Colorado to Indiana for the celebration!
Abigail Loxton Daun
Bridesmaid
Our first ever road trip was to see Tyler (Justin's brother) and Abigail (Tyler's wife) in Washington D.C. While being a bit nervous, it was clear I had no reason to with Abigail being so welcoming. I'm thankful there's another person in the Daun family who likes to sleep in and look forward to more visits in the future!
Tyler Daun
Best Man
I love my brother and am so glad to have him as my best man. Tyler is 3 years my elder, and I have always looked up to him. My favorite memories from growing up include inventing our own games such as Garage Ball, nerding out over Star Wars, and going on long runs training for the Indianapolis Mini Marathon.
Sam Dunipace
Groomsman
Sam and I were friends before we even knew we were friends. By that, I mean we thought we became friends in middle school through our common passion for music, but then Sam's mom found a picture of us hanging out together years earlier at swim lessons in early elementary school. Sam and I affectionately refer to one another as "Broseph."
Nate Titus
Groomsman
Nate goes by the nickname "Friend", and I can't think of a better word to sum him up. Easy to be around, always up for anything, humble, and all-around awesome, Nate is one of my best friends from my time at Cedarville Univ. My favorite times while he was my roomnate were tossing the football, outdoing one another in puns, and deep conversations late at night before falling asleep (which for me was around 9pm).
Jacob McCall
Groomsman
Dr. McCall and I became friends while helping out with the youth group at Terrace Lake Church. Jake is a tremendous teacher and has a pure heart for God. Before he and his wife moved to the Dominican Republic to work with Freedom International Ministries, we enjoyed going on runs together and brainstorming new games and lessons for youth group. (Also, his doctorate is in fun-ness)
Sean Sargent
Groomsman
I didn't choose Sean, and Sean didn't choose me. I chose Courtney and Sean chose Gabby, and since Gabby and Courtney are sisters, Sean and I are stuck with one another. However, I'm so grateful to be stuck with a brother-in-law who has a heart for God, a good sense of humor, and knows how to have fun (like doing burpees to the song Roxanne).
Drew Hildenbrand
Groomsman
More than a few years ago, I walked into Youth Pastor Drew's office as a young high schooler. I remember drawing a graph of my spiritual growth over time (a slightly positively sloped sinusoid) and making a scale "From Hitler to Mother Teresa" with an indication of where I landed. Drew responded by telling me to read 1 John and come back next week. My life continues to be blessed by Drew's discipleship, and I am always encouraged by Drew's passion to serve God, now as the pastor at Church @ Main in Brownsburg.
Micah Mellinger
Ring Bearer
I've had the pleasure of knowing Micah since he was just a week or so old. And while he's more and more calling me "Courtney" rather than "Corky" he'll always be my special buddy.
RJ Mellinger
Ring Bearer
Similarly, having known RJ all his life, he's my favorite human to ask opinions of. Especially when it comes to aesthetics. He's not afraid to tell me what he thinks!
Luna Frazier
Flower Girl
I’ve gotten more time than I thought I would with Miss Luna girl with a family move being postponed due to COVID. One of the first weekends of our dating relationship was babysitting her. Thank goodness she’s such a chill/happy babe!
