Thais Prause

Throughout Lala's journey, Thais has always been there to encourage and inspire her, offering support to help her follow her dreams. We are so grateful to have her as part of this day.
Jo Seddon
Bridesmaid
When Lala first came to the U.S. from Brazil, she didn’t know what to expect—but God had something beautiful prepared for her. He brought Jo into Lala's life as her host mom, and from the very beginning, she welcomed her with open arms and a heart full of love. Over time, she became more than just a host mom—she became family.
Darcey Seddon
Flower Girl
She is 7 years old and one of the most kind, smart, and sweet little souls we have ever met. She stole Lala's heart with her big smile, curious questions, and gentle spirit. She’s truly Lala's little best friend. She brings joy, love, and a little sparkle wherever she goes, and we couldn’t imagine this day without her. It’s such a gift to have her by our side on this beautiful day. We know she’ll make the most magical flower girl—just by being her sweet self. WE LOVE HER!!!
Silvia Gapp
Flower Girl
Silvia is 7 years old and a bundle of energy. She loves to fix things with her dad and Grandpa. Silvia is David's niece, and she gives the best hugs :) While she is not a fan of dresses, she is willing to wear a beautiful flower girl dress for our wedding. Love is truly a sacrifice. We love you, Silv!
Josh Bittner
Best Man
Josh grew up with David and they became best friends at the age of 10 :) Josh has been a constant close friend to David throughout all the different seasons of life and they grew up in the same neighborhood in Burnsville, MN. They have much in common but their shared faith, values and similar appreciation for humor and adventure have forged a lifetime friendship.
Josh Peine
Groomsman
Josh has been a constant friend to Dave and their friendship grew more and more after college even while they were close in Highschool. Josh has been a steady companion in David's life and David can credit Josh for so many crucial moments that have been lifechanging that came from their friendship. They have been team mates on the soccer pitch, work colleagues, classmates, but most importantly brothers in Christ.
James Goman
Groomsman
James and Dave became the deepest of friends when David came back to the US after living in Brasil. James and David both grew as close as can be through their newfound relationships with Jesus and much of the beginning of friendship involved walking together in a new life as followers of Jesus. James is an artist in every sense of the word: an architect, musician, painter, and overall curator and appreciator of beauty.
Jon Gapp
Groomsman
Jon is David's one and only brother! Jon has been a huge role model in David's life as his older brother. Some of the things that David really looks up to in his brother Jon is his walk with Jesus, his extremely hardworking mentality, and the love and sacrafice he has shown for his family of 4 kids and his wife Amy.
