Bethany Kutz

Bridesmaid

Hello! I I'm Bethany, Elli's older sister. Having known Elli since the day she was born, I've had the great privilege of watching her grow up into the stunning young woman she is today. It has been one of the most beautiful things to witness, and she inspires me daily with how she chases after Jesus and pursues her dreams no matter how hard it might be. One of the best things about Elli is that when she believes in and wants something, she goes after it with all she's got. That includes relationships, and I am so thankful that we have the gift of being such close friends as well as sisters. I'm not sure what I would do without her, and I am beyond honored to stand by her and the love of her life as they choose forever together. Can't wait to celebrate on the dance floor!!

Emily Mattison

Bridesmaid

I’m Emily, one of Elli’s friends from the Well church! I’ve known Elli and Favian since I started coming to the church last January, but Elli and I started getting close last April and oh my gosh she has been such a blessing in my life!! She is such a joyful woman of God and it has impacted my life and pushed me so much closer to Christ. While we may both be super headstrong and choleric (we aren’t the best gym partners for each other haha), I love her so much and I’m so glad to see her marrying the love of her life! The first thing I ever asked Elli when we hung out was how her and Favian met- this conversation was during their break- and I’m so happy to have seen it come full circle into a love-filled marriage and so honored to have been a part of their journey!

Mckenna Kilcup

Bridesmaid

McKenna is absolutely overjoyed to be celebrating with Elli and Favian on their big day! Although previously an only child, McKenna’s had quite an adventure getting married to Grant Kilcup and suddenly having 9 siblings. Growing up in MoezArt, McKenna and Elli never performed in the same shows but she remembers watching Elli perform and always thought she was really talented. Fast forward several years and McKenna and Elli have enjoyed going to coffee together, talking about the future, finding gems while thrifting, and encouraging one another in all of their adventures. YAY ELLI AND FAVIAN!!

Lanie Kilcup

Bridesmaid

If I'm gonna write about myself, the only way I could start off is by saying that Christ is my Love, my King, and my Life. I adore Him with everything in me, and I'm doing my best to make Him the center of every aspect of my life. I've been playing softball for two years now. I play primarily as a catcher, and boy do I love it there! I also really enjoy reading and writing. I've been writing little stories ever since I can remember, and reading always provides a much-needed escape from the real world! I have looked up to my big sister Elli for almost 16 years. And although I couldn't give you a single detail of our first interaction, I can tell you that growing up with her has been nothing less than an adventure!! From Elli's version of Miss Hannigan (Ms. Shotgun) to random games of pretend to get us through some menial chore we had to do, there was never a boring moment with Elli. I do, however, remember meeting Favian. My first thoughts were that, 1. he and Elli were very flirty, and 2. he desperately needed a haircut. (Don't worry Favian, I like your hair now.) I liked him instantly. There were a few brief moments later on when I wasn't his biggest fan for stealing my big sister (what can I say, I'm a cliché girl), but not even my grumpy bitterness was able to stop me from enjoying his company. Elli and Favian, I'm so proud of you. I love you both so much and I can't wait to have another brother!! Praying for you always!

Sarah Kilcup

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm Sarah--one of Elli's many sisters. Elli is so spunky, funny, and sweet. We've been on so many adventures: whether it be in Colorado or our family room, it was always a blast. As for me, I love ballet and all things outdoors. I plan to be a ballet teacher when I grow up, but would love to go on at least one mission trip. I'm so excited to be a bridesmaid and witness Elli and Favian get married! Welp, see ya!

Mary

Flower Girl

Hi, I’m Mary! As my siblings like to say, I came in like a wrecking ball! (Okay, I’ll be honest--they don’t say that…) I’ve been doing ballet for almost four years, and just started contemporary. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a mixture of jazz and ballet! I really enjoy it! It’s really fun, because you just do your own version of what the teacher tells you to do. My wonderful sister Elli is gonna get married! (note to Favian: if you hurt Elli in any way possible, my family will hunt you down and you will not be happy with the consequences!) I’ve been a flower girl for four weddings, and I’m so excited to do it again for my amazing sister Elli! Congratulations, you two! I love you! P.S. I'm the girl, not the horse
