Maid of Honor
My best friend since the day I was born (aside from a few years in middle school when I was a little angsty). Alyssa has always been the person I can be fully myself with, who always knows which movie I'm quoting, and who demonstrates Jesus' love most fully to me. Wouldn't have wanted to survive having four brothers with anyone else!
Best Man
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I are complete opposites, but we've been best friends ever since we lived together our sophomore years of college. Whether it was making banana pancakes or mac n cheese at midnight, sitting in the doorways of our rooms talking, or watching crossfit documentaries, I've so cherished knowing Hannah, who loves deeply and pursues Jesus wholeheartedly.
Groomsman
Bridesmaid
Katy has been one of my closest friends ever since third grade when at the lunch table I turned to the girl next to me and said, "Hi, my name is Aubrey. Want to be friends?" Our friendship has only grown since then and I'm so thankful for Katy's heart for the Lord and her encouragement through nearly fifteen years. We may live in different states now, but I still think she's pretty OK. (Get it? She lives in Oklahoma).
Groomsman
Bridesmaid
Even before Dawson and I started dating, I had many conversations with Lauren about teaching. Her compassionate heart always stood out to me, and I have only seen more of it since Dawson & I started dating. I'm so thankful to be gaining a sister who loves & serves Jesus and brings so much joy to the people she's around!
Groomsman
Bridesmaid
Rachel initially just knew my older brother Alex, but Alyssa and I also got to know her and David (+ Margo) through Christian Challenge at K-State. In college, Rachel has been such a huge part of my spiritual growth, continually reminding me of the character of God and sharing her life with me. Soon Baby Irons #2 will be here, and although David & Rachel most likely won't be at the wedding, they are sweet friends to us and we are so thankful for their wisdom and willingness to open their lives to us!
Groomsman
Flower Girl
We love Margo girl and have loved seeing her grow in the past two years! Dawson and Margo share an affinity for "diggers" (excavators). Aubrey appreciates Margo's desire for quality time by constantly telling people to "sit down" and just be with her.
Flower Girl Usher
Ashton is the youngest Cole kid, and arguably the funniest. Our friendship has grown a lot since the days of one-on-one basketball games gone wrong, arguing over whose turn it is to play Pacman (and pulling the TV off the entertainment center in the process), and Ashton knocking my two front teeth out with his head.
Flower Girl
Sweet Ellie Caroline is my niece, and we love her and her parents a whole lot. She'll still be working on her walking skills by the time we get married, hence the flower girl usher.
