Wedding Party
Daniel Hamilton
Best Man
Daniel and Tom were forced into a relationship when Tom was born in November of 2001. Daniel has not just been Tom’s big brother over the years, he’s been his best friend. Daniel and Tom grew up playing baseball together in the dirt field of their first home. Now that they’re both retired, all they do is talk sports… and play an occasional game of MLB The Show. Words can’t describe the love Daniel and Tom share for each other. Their relationship is one that has only continued to flourish as they’ve gotten older.
Jaden Klug
Groomsman
Jaden joined staff at The Journey Bayless in October 2024, and he and Tom immediately became close friends. Jaden and Tom bonded over a love of sports, Jesus, and serving the local church while experiencing the joys of learning how to be in ministry as twenty-something’s.
Ben Horn
Groomsman
Ben and Tom have been close ever since Tom started working at Chick-Fil-A in May of 2021. During their years at Chick-Fil-A, Ben and Tom bonded over a love for the Lord and baseball while also taking similar classes at Missouri Baptist University. Tom had the pleasure of standing by Ben’s side when he married his bride, Emily, in June of 2025.
Nick Steger

Bree Manning
Bridesmaid
Tom's much younger (and much cooler) sister. Bree brought light and joy to Tom’s world as a child and now she continues to do the same, even though she’s 15 and well, you know. Bree loves to criticize Tom’s music tastes, but she knows her big brother will never stop spoiling her. Bree is the most talented of all siblings.
Alexa
Bridesmaid
This is Erin's best friend and one of the most loyal people she knows. They first met working together at Chipotle (yes, they made a lot of burrito bowls and even more memories!). Their friendship has only grown since then — from deep faith conversations to spontaneous travel adventures!
Brandon

This is Erin's first brother and twin! He is the doctor of the family who has a wife and 4 beautiful kids! Erin and Brandon both share the same birthday June 8!
Drew

This Erin's 3rd brother and the middle child! Erin and Drew love to bicker at each other, but both have each other's backs during anything. Drew is a traveling nurse and enjoys watching the Tampa Bay hockey team!
Bryce
Groomsman
This is Erin's 4th brother, the baby of the family! Bryce and Erin go way back to their childhood days to where they used to play lots of Wii and ping pong together! Bryce graduated from Missouri State University in Computer Science.
