Matron of Honor
Elizabeth's oldest sister! We went from having "sleepovers" in each others rooms to sharing a bunk bed to living on the opposite ends of the country. We've shared inside jokes, way too many silly pictures, and a mutual love for art and music. So looking forward to sharing stories of marriage and continuing to grow alongside this sister and chosen friend of mine for the rest of our lives <3
Best Man
Luke is the man! The best man actually. We shared a room growing up and now he lives multiple states away. Even though we have lived farther apart from each other for awhile, we always make sure to call each other regularly. We have been intentional about fostering a deep friendship over the years, and I'm honored to have him be my best man.
Maid of Honor
Renee and Elizabeth met in 6th grade and have been best friends from then to now! We battled out the distance between us and somehow were growing closer the whole time. She and I have been devising a plan since 2010 to fold the country up so no matter what states we end up in we'll always be near one another (I think it's starting to work). This girl has the biggest heart and is one of the best friends you could ever ask for. So thankful for her!
Groomsman
St3 in the hoouussee! Our friendship goes back a long way, all the way to elementary school. We have experienced a lot of fun times together, but he has impacted my life past the surface level. Through the years, he has lived a Christian life of integrity, and that has shaped me to be a better man and Christ follower.
Bridesmaid
Courtney is Elizabeth's youngest sister. This girl is so joyous, creative, and turns anything into an inside joke! It has been the best spending the past couple of years living by her again, learning the art of twenty pilots rapping and New York accents. She’s pretty much the best
Groomsman
My friendship with Chris also goes all the way back to elementary school. He's played a pivotal role in me coming to Christ. When I was in 9th grade he and I went on a missions trip to Pittsburgh and it was there that I came to believe in Christ as my savior.
Bridesmaid
Claire is Dale's closest-in-age sister (and Elizabeth's soon to be sister)! She was the last sibling that Elizabeth met and immediately felt like she had known Claire forever upon meeting her. She is just an all together incredible person! Elizabeth is beyond thrilled to have her as a new friend and sister!
Groomsman
Kev and I went to the same school for a while, but didn't become friends until high school. We have remained close friends through college and adult life. One of the biggest ways he has impacted me has been his commitment to Christ. His relationship with Christ has always been very evident in how he lives his life, most clearly seen in how he loves his wife and three daughters. He's someone who inspires me to be different from culture and live for Christ.
Bridesmaid
Marilyn is Dale's youngest sister (and Elizabeth's soon to be sister)! It has been the best bonding with her over great coffee, music (ask about her vinyl collection), and art! Marilyn is now in California and is missed so dearly, but what a joy it is to have her as a new sister and friend!
Groomsman
Eric and I have been friends since I've been in college. His commitment to Christ is something that has uniquely shaped me. We would have lengthy debates and discussions on matters of theology, psychology, and just life in general. His depth of thought and careful thinking when it comes to the Christian life is something that has helped me become a sharper thinker when in comes to applying my faith to my life.
Groomsman
Brandon and I went to the same Bible college out in Missouri and have been friends ever since. Brandon is like a brother to me. His relationship with Christ has impacted me greatly, more than I can really express in words. Through seeing Christ in him, I came to see what it really meant to be a Christian man. I will be such an honor to have you a part of the wedding.
