Trinity & Devin
Wedding Party
Alliah Dawson
Maid of Honor
Sister of the Bride Alliah is a one of a kind sister and friend. She always makes anyone laugh when they do not feel like laughing. She always knows when a laugh is the medicine you need. She is strong, bold, and brave. The amount of singing sessions in the car will never be enough. I cant count on all of the fingers in the world how many times we have sat in the car long after we have gotten home in order to listen to 'one last song'. I am thankful to have her standing beside me on the biggest day of my life, but am even more thankful to have a built-in best friend!
Brock Dieu
Best Man
Brother of the Groom Brock was always the person I went to for help or advice while growing up. He is my oldest brother that I just so happen to share a birthday with. During my younger years, he was always willing to give me ride or let me hang out at his place when I had nothing else to do. He and Emily always go on trips or just hang out with Trinity and I and that’s why it was no question as to if they would be a part of our wedding!
Emily Dieu
Matron of Honor
Sister-in-law of the groom Friend of the Bride Emily Elizabeth- I mean, we have the same middle name. Isn't this meant to be?! Every time we are together, we are laughing and having the most wonderful time. Whether its grocery shopping, homework dates, or Target runs (lots of them! Sorry Dev and Brock), she and I never have a dull moment together. I am thankful for her faith and the role model she has been to me all of my life. How cool is it that now we will be sisters!? (who needs the "in-law" title anyway?)
Jordan Sheahan
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Jordan has been more like a brother than a friend my whole life. We grew up doing everything together. Some of the most memorable moments are the summer days on the Jet Ski with us and his step mom Annie. Jordan and I went to the same college, had the same major, went to the same fire academy class, and got hired on the Danville Fire Department at the same time. There are not many stories of my childhood that don’t include this guy.
Ashley Myers
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Ashley has enough compassion and kindness to spread to every human that has been, is, and will be on this planet and I admire this so much. She is an includer, whether that is at church, in the gym, or even at large get-togethers. Ash has become one of my best friends and always brings strength and positivity to any situation. She is one of my biggest cheerleaders. If you don't have an Ashley in your life, get one!
Matthew Myers
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Matt is a guy that I got to know really well on the Bismarck Fire Department. With us being at the same station, we did a lot together and grew close over the years. Although some may question if we actually like each other by the conversations we have, rest assured we do. Because I’m on a very short list, one of which his wife may not be on, of people Matt will actually hug, I felt like it’s a must to include him in our wedding party.
Carrie Baker
Bridesmaid
College Friend of the Bride Carrie Baker.....this stinkin' girl. I have grown to become a best friend and sister with this girl. I have known I have loved her since the moment I private messaged her the summer before our Freshman Year of college and we had the same style and colors to decorate our dorm rooms. This girl is full of compassion and understanding for others. She is the girl who will always make you laugh because she is laughing- sometimes we don't know why, but regardless, she is laughing and so are we! We have had so many nights of laughter and shopping trips full of pure joy. I would not be able to survive without this girl.
Cody Burton
Groomsman
Cousin of the Groom Cody and I have been very close our whole lives. From the nights of making blanket forts at grandmas to partying in Indy for my 21st birthday, he’s always been there. There isn't a time when Cody and I have been together and didn’t have a good time!
Elaina Renehan
Bridesmaid
College Friend of the Bride E is my other half- other than Devin of course. I mean, who else tells their best friend's significant other than they are excited that they will be 'marrying them', too?! That's my E. Luckily, Devin smiled and agreed that if he has me, he has both of us. This girl brings so much joy to so many lives. We have had so many memories that will forever be treasured in my heart. We have driven miles and miles together and have had many wonderful jam sessions and 'catch up' talks. All the time would never be enough time with this girl.
Jake Wright
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Jake and I really got to know each other and grew to be good friends once I joined the Bismarck Fire Department. With both of us being the two shortest people on the department, we were always getting the short jokes thrown at us. Our friendship grew-some days anyway- when I became an employee of Jake and Matt Goodner’s lawncare and landscaping business. With him joining one of Trinity and I’s first movie dates, he was a shoe in for a groomsman spot.
Grace Waterfield
Bridesmaid
College Friend of the Bride Gracelyn Elisabeth... she is hands down a forever friend of mine. She is tender, sweet, level-headed, old souled, and treasured by all who know and love her. She has wonderful goals and reaches them no matter what the cost. She is dedicated which pours out in her friendships. I am thankful we met on both of our first days in the 'ville, and have been best friends since. I am thankful for the friendship we will forever have.
Matthew Goodner
Groomsman
Friend of the groom Matt is another friend that I got through the Fire Department. We both got on the department around the same time so we went through a lot of our training together. We grew even closer when I started working for he and Jake's lawncare and landscaping company and we would spend 8-10 hours a day in his truck while mowing. Let’s just say you get to know someone really well in the mowing truck. Lots of Polar Pops, Boston accents, and Uptown Funk.
Stephanie Stephenson
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Steph has been a wonderful friend of mine for several years. Her dedication to Jesus is inspiring and I truly admire her in every aspect. She is the epitome of strength and grace. I can always count on her to send a "thinking about you" text, and they always come at the most needed times. Friend-telepathy, I guess! I have had many wonderful memories with Steph and it is always a joy to spend time with her.
Caleb Stephenson
Groomsman
Friend of the groom Caleb and I have been good friends since high school. We went to the same youth group and attended several CIY’s (Christ in Youth) conferences together, both as students and as leaders. Caleb and I spent many long nights playing poker, ping pong, and video games- some of which didn’t end until the sun came up. He and Steph are cherished in our hearts. We know that will always be there.
Caryss Carpenter
Junior Bridesmaid
Little sister in Christ of the Bride Caryss Marie. I am so thankful she has agreed to stand up with me on the biggest day of my life! She and I have clicked since she was just a baby and luckily, that bond has continued over the years. Her bravery is admirable and her strength is overwhelmingly inspiring. I am so thankful for your hugs and your smile. Keep being a radiant ball of positivity! I love you!
Ryker Dieu
Junior Groomsman
Nephew of the Groom Ryker was my very first nephew and he has been a huge part of my life since the day he was born. I can always count on a big hug and a smile every time I see him. I couldn’t be happier to have him be a part of our big day.
