Wedding Party
Derek Pendleton
Groom
Cassidy Latham
Bride
I’m the bride 🥰 I met Derek 4 years ago while interning at DBC but I just thought of him as the brother of one of my students. We started a young professionals small group in 2020 and got to know each other more. A little while later, I thought he was definitely someone I wanted to know outside of small group so I started a weekly tv show night at my house with some other friends and enticed him with dinner so I could hang out with him! Thankfully he came and we started talking more and more. After a brief God-pause (you can ask for details lol) between February and May, we got together May 14. He has been the most patient and kind man and loves me like Christ loves the church. He’s everything I dreamed of wanting and everything I didn’t even know I could ask for. I’m super excited to become Mrs. Cassidy Pendleton!
Jerrod Latham
Father of the Bride
This is my dad! We’ve always said we’re pretty much the same person just different genders so we get along super well. He’s done a great job at showing me how a Godly man treats his wife and gave me high expectations for my own future husband. Luckily, Derek exceeds those! I can’t wait to walk down the isle with my dad as he hands me off to Derek. Love you Dad!
Terri Latham
Mother of the Bride
This is my mom! She’s the best lady ever. Always so kind and supportive and wants the best for me. We are very close because we’re the only girls in the family outnumbered by 4 boys, but we love it! Lots of girl time shopping and lunch trips. I’m so lucky to have the best mom.

Rebekah Phillips
Bridesmaid
I’m Rebekah Phillips, I think technically we had lunch once at the place we briefly both worked and I’m pretty sure I was the worlds most awkward person, but thankfully since then we go to church together and both help out in student ministry and Cassidy is one of my favorite people and best friends. She even shows up to my boys little league games.
Amelia Stephenson
Bridesmaid
I’m Amelia Stephenson. Cassidy and I met way back when she was an intern with the church and lived with some family friends I also know and was in Chattanooga visiting. But then we both moved here away from family after college and started becoming better friends!
