Corinne and Dey were friends in college but fell out of touch. A few years later they reconnected when they both moved to Indianapolis and had a standing Wednesday lunch date at City Market. They now have a yearly "Bestie Adventure Trip" that will often include mountains, hiking, and the occasional falling out of hammocks.

They bonded over sand volleyball, chicken wings, World of Dance and now pickleball! They also love to travel together! Last year they traveled together to three countries in 10 days!
Courtney Hawkins-Malz
Bridesmaid
Courtney and Dey both went to school at Indiana Wesleyan and only knew each other for one year before Courtney transferred to a different school. They both decided to be intentional with frequent FaceTimes, visits, and thoughtful gifts! One of their favorite memories was visiting the Omaha Zoo and Dey ran for dear life as the bats were released into the crowd! She was terrified!
Rodolfo Lecea Garza
Best Man
Rodolfo (Rudy) and Jeremiah met at Lakeview Church and became fast friends. They first met in a young adults group and built their friendship around their love for Christ and memes.
Daniel Readus
Groomsman
Daniel and Jeremiah met in the fourth grade when Daniel singlehandedly ruined Jeremiah's perfect basketball season. From there, Daniel transferred to Jeremiah's school and they became teammates and friends. From there they stayed consistent friends through high school, college, and adulthood. Daniel represents the trio of SLS and GVK in Joe's absence.
Cardiay Watson
Groomsman
Cardiay (CJ) and Jeremiah are cousins but have a relationship closer to a brotherhood. After they spent most of their childhood seeing each other on holidays, they've built a strong friendship during adulthood. One of the many things they bond over is their love of sports. Although they love their rival teams (Pacers and Bulls), they still love each other when the game is over.
Lucas Bolt
Groomsman
On the outside looking in, one might believe that the friendship of Lucas and Jeremiah might be friends by proxy of Dey and Priscila. But in reality, the friendship is rooted in genuine love for Christ and fellowship. Going from being co-leaders of a young adults group to being travel buddies, the two appreciate each other's company even when their significant other's aren't present. They share a common interest in Christian hip-hop music and basketball, so there's never a dull moment between the two.
Dami Alao
Groomsman
Dami and Jeremiah's relationship has had a slow burn. After the apprehension of someone dating his beloved sister, he quickly discerned Jeremiah's character and integrity. Conversely, Jeremiah observed the authenticity and spiritual maturity that Dami lived by. And although separated by 2 months, Jeremiah quickly saw Dami not only as a lifelong friend, but a brother. When they aren't engaged in deep talks about Christ, they can be having intense dialogue about anime and TikTok videos.
Corey Shelton
Groomsman
Corey and Jeremiah are each other's oldest friend, with a friendship that has stood the test of time. Although distance has separated them, they always find a way to stay connected. Growing up, they were looked at as twins and on the basketball court, they were a ruthless defensive guard duo.
Cody Bryant
Groomsman
Cody and Jeremiah's friendship started over a Lakeview connect group. Both being one of the few males in the young adults at the time, they often gravitated toward each other for conversation. Then as they moved on to the men's fellowship group, they were vulnerable and grew a genuine friendship. Through ups and down physically, mentally, financially and spiritually, they've been there for each other for support.
