Claire & Ethan
Wedding Party
Sarah Coll
Matron of Honor
One of my favorite memories of Sarah is making her cry in the bathtub by splashing water in her eyes so I could comfort her when she was a baby. My favorite thing to do now is to force her to cuddle me. She has endured a lot of crap at the hands of her older sisters but, she has grown into such an amazing woman of God and I am so blessed to be able to call her my younger sister. I look forward to the many years of friendship yet to come.
Gavin Starr
Best Man
My best friend throughout my high school years and for rest of my life. Having Gavin by my side through the ups and downs of the last couple years has been life changing and always welcome. You can always count on Gavin no matter the circumstances and he is truly a great friend and an even greater man.
Laurel Shearer
Maid of Honor
My middle sister, and let me tell you she is definitely the middle child. Laurel has a personality larger than life and it lights up every room she walks into. It has been a joy to watch Laurel discover her different passions over the years and help people that can't help themselves. She is a no-nonsense, tell it like it is person, with a spirit of adventure, who desires to know the truth, and I know it will take her far in life.
David Carter
Best Man
David has a way of defying first impressions. He started as the strange guy I dreaded going on a trip to Delaware with for the Air Force and turned in to a great friend. I could not stop telling Claire about after it was over. Fast forward two years later and we are going through the same Air Force training here in Pensacola and see each other multiple times each and every week. David has even got me into running including weekly 5Ks here in Pensacola and for anyone who knew me before knows what a task that was. David has become more than just a friend. He is family.
Nhi Nguyen
Bridesmaid
My youngest sister! I am so blessed that Nhi joined our family. We would not be complete without her. Watching her come out of her shell as she has been with us has been so beautiful. I remember very vividly when she used to hate hugs and I asked for one for my birthday! Now we can all get one whenever we like. She is a gentle, intelligent, beautiful soul with a fiery streak and I know she will always be a part of our family.
Austin Muno
Groomsman
From Maxwell Air Force base to Jacksonville Florida, and now to Pensacola: no matter where my life took me it seemed Austin was bound to be there as well. Bumping into Austin through all these events made it inevitable that we would become friends. Even though we have chosen different paths for where our Air Force careers will take us, we will always be life-long friends.
Luisa Austin
Bridesmaid
Luisa has known me since the day I was born and is my oldest female cousin. We have been friends since day one and is the only person in my family I somewhat resemble. The memories of us playing together are too many to count but she is now one of my greatest role models and inspirations in life. I hope to one day be half the woman of God and mother that she is.
Christoffer Crowley
Groomsman
Christoffer is a great friend and someone who can always light up a room with his humor. When he joined us at Penn State ROTC we became fast friends. We don’t get to see each other often but he has earned the award of being the one friend to come visit us in Pensacola (this may be because his wife is nearby). I am excited to have him join us yet again and for many years to come.
Olivia McGraw
Bridesmaid
The Lord knew that I needed another sister in my life (girl power). She is one of the greatest things to come out of marrying Ethan. Olivia is Ethan's youngest sister and is a real plant enthusiast. She has even gotten me to explore plants myself (an impressive feat considering I usually kill plants). I look forward to continuing to become better friends over the years and the many family memories we will build together.
David Campbell
Groomsman
I met David in Pensacola in an interesting way as his wife Lexi and Claire had become friends well before the two of us had ever met. After meeting David, we quickly became friends and went through a lot of our training here together. Even though where we are going after Pensacola is going to be quite different I know that David will always be there for me moving forward. David and Lexi are one of mine and Claire’s favorite couples and I know that we will both always be able count on them.
Lexi Campbell
Official Dog Walker
I met Lexi at the spouse group for our husband's squadron (before she went active duty herself). We have become amazing friends and a real support system for one another. Though our Air Force lives will take us in different directions for a while I am so happy to share this day with her. She was an answer to many prayers for me and I know that we will be lifelong friends in the Lord.
Nigel & Cash
The Dogs
Nigel and Cash are our beloved greyhound children. Nigel is a five-year-old male that we rescued in November of 2020 and Cash is an eight-year-old male that came to our family in January of 2021. They bring so much joy to our household and we cannot imagine life without them.
