Dana & Joshua
The Wedding Party
Kelly Knickerbocker
Maid of Honor
Kelly and Dana have been best friends since 5 years old, when they met in Kindergarten. They have been inseparable ever since. Kelly and Dana use to spend their days playing in Dana's basement or swimming in Kelly's pool. They loved all things Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Now you can find them crafting, grabbing coffee or getting their sweat on together at the gym.
Jay Michael Calhoun
Best Man
Jay and Joshua have been friends since Jay could say “bubba.” The dynamic difference between their personalities was also their strength. Growing up challenging each other in various skills and abilities made their friendship evolve into a truly blessed one. As kids they had their own “radio show” called “Talk & Talk,” where everybody’s talking! It is rare in this day and age to have a brother who is also a confidant and friend. Whether playing a musical instrument or a game of chess this brotherhood friendship will always be a huge part of Joshua’s life.
Amanda D'Angelo
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Dana met a few years back when Amanda started dating Dana's brother Shawn. Since then they've moved from friends to sister-in-laws. Amanda and Dana have discovered they both have a love for good wine and can often be found enjoying a glass together, having date nights with Shawn and Joshua too or going on camping adventures.
Jared Cummins
Groomsman
Jared and Joshua have been friends for what seems like a lifetime. It started a few years ago while playing a game together online. Best friends are sometimes in the farthest away of places. For a while they even shared a condo in Phoenix, AZ and spent many a day in the pool or hiking through the rocky terrain of the desert. If the timing is right you will probably find them deep in a story about all sorts of topics and yes, still playing Xbox.
Rebecca Hart
Bridesmaid
Rebecca and Dana met their first semester of Grad school at the University of Buffalo. That year they bonded over their first teaching jobs, classes and found they both had a love for skiing. They joined ski club, even attempting to learn how to snowboard their second year. Now Dana and Rebecca can be found eating a great meal together or on the ski slopes.
Zach Hicks
Groomsman
Zach and Joshua met on a warm September evening in Texarkana, TX the first semester of junior college. The furniture was sparse in a college guys dorm so they took Zach’s truck on a dumpster dive quest for “pre-owned” furniture. Even though there was no furniture to be found a friendship began to last the ages. Paintball and movie knowledge sparked conversations over the years as they grew into adulthood. The many campfire stories and river floating events they enjoyed together built a trust that lasts to this day.
Jonathan Calhoun
Pastor
Jonathan and Joshua though separated by a decade in age have at times switched roles of mentor and support. It was clear at a young age that Jonathan has the heart of a bear, someone who can love unconditionally and stand up tall against conflict. Joshua and Jonathan developed a unique friendship later in life that created a lasting and eternal bond. If it wasn’t building things for the church or hosting a youth home group from the church these brothers often enjoyed good food and even better conversation full of laughter.
