Man of Honor
Bill is the 39 year old son of the bride. I admire you so much, Bill, how you love your wife as a husband and are raising your children. Bill resides in Fort Wayne, Indiana with his incredible wife, Katie, and my two grandchildren, Maddelynn and Everett. And, yes...these are the coolest, most talented, dearest grandbabies of the bride whose world is so much better with them in it!
Man of Honor
Gabe is the 25 year old son of the bride. He and Sierra Hoagland have been childhood sweethearts since the age of 16. I hear wedding bells for this amazing couple next year! I'm so proud of the young man Gabe has become; kind, considerate, bright & gifted with so much. And, we all know to whom much is given, much is expected! Gabe & Sierra reside in Louisville, Kentucky.
Best Man
Terry is the roly-poly baby brother (at heart not biology) of the groom. He is married to Karen and they are neighbors and the best kind of friends in Sellersburg, Indiana.
Groomsman
Jay is a long-time close friend of the groom. They have a military and personal friendship history going back 50 years. Good friends are hard to find. In military life, they are both hard to find and hard to keep. He is married to Kathy and they reside in Orlando, Florida.
Flower Girl
Madz is the tender-hearted nine year old granddaughter of the bride. She loves both athletics and academics, especially soccer and softball. Madz, you make such a big difference in my life and you make me smile and my heart full!
Ring Bearer
Everett is the six year old grandson of the bride. He loves being active and also plays soccer and baseball. I believe in you, Everett, your ideas are great!
Brother of the Bride
Patrick is one of the bride's favorite people in the world! He's her youngest brother and she calls him "Preacher" because he has devoted his entire life to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, particularly after his 38 years young wife, Sandra, passed away. Patrick has three adult sons and two daughters in law along with three grandchildren (Patrick & Terra Lynn, Paul & Joelle, Gregg [deceased]). The father of the bride is deceased and Patrick will walk her down the aisle in his stead.
