Sydney & Ethan
Wedding Party
Whitney Perkins
Maid of Honor
My cousin, my sister and one of my very best friends. She has walked with me through every stage of life and taught me so much. Her love for the Lord is shown through in how you care so deeply for your people you love. She is probably watching Disney right now. Whit, I have always looked up to you and always will.
Joseph Bond
Best Man
He's a dork. He's a goober. He's scammed me out of many things, and will try to do so for the rest of our lives. But he's a good man and a good brother. He's always been there for me and always points me toward Christ. Even if he is shorter than me (and less handsome according to Sydney).
Anna Grace Brons
Bridesmaid
Anna, has been one of my best friends since 4th grade and will continue to be for the rest of our lives. She is such a good listener, so loyal and has the goofiest snort laugh you will ever hear. Her love for the Lord is evident in the way she listens so intently to every person she comes in contact with. She is probably listening to Dolly Parton right now. Anna, I can't wait to keep walking and singing through life with you.
Alex Aden
Groomsman
He loves disc golf. He loves Duke (I'll forgive him only for today though). He's my guy, and I'm better at Catan than he is. We laugh together, and I can always count on him for a goofy smile and fist pump. He challenges me to be a better man and is (usually) always gentle. And he's probably spooning with his cat right now.
Harper Cannon
Bridesmaid
Harp is my go to gal anytime I need a laugh, a fun car ride or someone to pick me up when I am down. Her energy and smile is contagious and she loves her people so deeply. Her love for the Lord is shown through her love for life. She is probably drinking Dunkin' right now. Harp, you inspire me to be more spontaneous and to live in the moment.
Zane Lancaster
Groomsman
He's probably climbing on something right now. Or playing D&D. He almost always has the most energy in the room, and can foster the deepest conversations instantly. He is always nothing except his real self, and is a great friend.
Alyssa Slusmeyer
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my sweet southern bell. She is always down for a rom com and will also always point me back to the truth Christ gives us in Scripture. She is fun loving and hardworking and unapologetically herself. She is probably watching the Longest Ride right now. Lyss, you push me to be a godly woman and I admire you for the way you love our God.
Cole Johnson
Groomsman
He's our favorite guy and he can reach up and touch the sky. He's a marine, and I guarantee he's cooler than you, even though I beat him in a wrestling match 3 years ago (it's no big deal). He is kind and caring and always down for some good coffee. He probably has a Jocko drink in his hand and is studying Habakkuk. He will drop everything for you, and he's scared of skydiving.
Ashten Petty
Bridesmaid
Ashten is the most joyful and bright person I have ever met. She is sunshine in human form and will be by your side no matter what. She has believed in me always and encouraged me through really hard seasons in life. She points me to Christ always with her words and actions. She has never met a stranger and has an extremely contagious laugh. She is a hard worker and an even better friend. She is probably working out with Cade right now. Ash, I could not have made it through these last 3 years without you and I can never say thank you enough.
Noah Graves
Groomsman
He used to be a long haired hippie, but now he's a close-cut squatting machine. He routinely makes fun of me (it's his way of showing his love for me), and never ceases to rub Alabama's success in my face. He is never shy of a deep or difficult conversation, and will always tell you what you need to hear. He's a good leader and is probably buying new Reebok's or taking Cheeto for a walk.
Ashley Winstead
Bridesmaid
Ashley is the sweetest and most gentle friend. She gives the best hugs and has a calm and loving spirit about her. She is energetic and fun. She is full of laughter and love she gives to the people around her. She is probably singing Maddie and Tae right now. Ashley, you bring out so much joy and give me a sense of peace when I am with you.
Kaleb Richmond
Groomsman
He's not dead, he's just in Canada. We were best friends in high school, and laughed together a lot. He watched me fall on my bike a lot. He was the best teammate and is a great friend. He will always point you toward Christ and be a great example of what a good man and husband should be.
Sam Christian
Groomsman
He is probably benching 225 and listening to Come On Eileen. He is Sydney's little brother and a nightmare for anyone on the opposing football team. He has a hilarious and sweet side that few people get to see
