Abbey & Ezra
Wedding Party
Olivia Penton
Maid of Honor
Olivia has been my person since she was born. Although we had no choice to be around each other as when my mom went back to work after having me, Olivia's mom and grandma watched me, I am so thankful that after all these years she has stuck by my side. I can recall playing with our barbies in her bedroom as they were getting married talking about our dream weddings and I know I could not have pulled this off without her. Her love for Ezra and I is so abundant and that is something I will cherish forever.
Kaela Crews
Maid of Honor
Kaela and I met and we were instantly connected by thinking she didn't like me and I didn't like her, HA a classic girl friendship. My dad told me my friends for life would be the ones I made in college and Kaela is just that. From always being the one to be blunt and honest with me, to singing show tunes on booze cruises, I can always count on her. She is legitimately the friend I never knew I needed, but one I thank God for everyday. We are a package deal and Ezra is okay with that, so obviously this worked out well!
McCayla Yates
Bridesmaid
McCayla and I have been friends since Pre-K. If you ask her, I would run away from her, but I think we were just playing tag and she was always it ;) McCayla and I have been inseparable ever since. McCayla has been my biggest cheerleader since I can remember, as I hers. From school plays, cheerleading dances, and pageants, McCayla has always been my go to for a pep talk. I can always count on her to drop everything and come running and I appreciate our friendship so much.
Lauren Dickherber
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met while working in college. I was drawn to Lauren because of her bright and bubbly personality and how funny she was. We can laugh about the silliest things that nobody else finds funny for hours. Lauren has been like a "little" sister to me. We have taken each other in in times of need, growth and success and I couldn't imagine not having her in my life. She is the Ann Perkins to my Leslie Knope.
Sabrina Penton
Bridesmaid
Sabrina has been in my life all of hers :) Sabrina has definitely filled the role of a little sister for the last 20+ years. If Olivia and I were together, Sabrina was close behind. We have shared some of my favorite memories as children together and some of the hardest ones.
Carolyn Flock
Bridesmaid
Carolyn and I have been friends for what feels like forever. She has been the one to bring me out of some pretty low points in my life and for that I am forever thankful. She is a spitfire and always up for an adventure. Carolyn has a kind heart and always knows how to make me feel appreciated in our friendship.
Abbey Price
Bridesmaid
The two Abbeys...boy are we the duo when we get together! Abbey came into my life in about middle school because we were on the same softball team. Although I had always known who Abbey was because of our siblings playing soccer together, we didn't become friends until about 7th and 8th grade and have been going ever since. Abbey is the ray of sunshine everyone needs in their day. No matter if we are sharing bible verses, asking each other for prayers, or just telling jokes, I know Abbey is always going to help me make light of any situation I am in. "We're both named Abbey, same spelling and we are even best friends!!"
Eli Hillen
Best Man
Eli is my older brother and best friend. Growing up, anywhere Eli was, I was not far behind. Eli and I have been through a lot together, and always come out on the other side. I couldn't think of anybody more perfect to be my best man.
Jaden Jones
Best Man
Jaden has been my friend since 7th grade. We could often be found riding our dirtbikes and fourwheelers up and down the streets we grew up on. Our neighbors didn't like it very much, but we never cared. Jaden was my roommate when we first went to North Dakota and has always been a great friend to me.
Coolie Callahan
Groomsman
Coolie is always a good time! We became friends because of my brother, but he has been more like an older brother to me. Although he and Eli would take advantage of my niceness and make me be their DD till the sun came up, I always have a great time with them.
Brody Madigan
Groomsman
Brody and I became friends in the 6th grade where we would go to his house and ride dirt bikes for hours. We can often be found talking about fixing trucks, cool cars, and our life goals. Brody is a friend I can always count on, no matter how far away we are.
Gavin Yund
Groomsman
I met Gavin through Jaden, as he is his uncle, but I never thought of him as such, more like a great friend. Gavin has always looked out for us and even helped us get our jobs in the oil field. We enjoy riding rzrs, smoking cigars and being amateurs at golf!
Conner Armstrong
Groomsman
Conner and I have been friends for as long as I can remember. We could usually be found fishing and riding around in his jeep when we were younger. Since then, we have remained close and still enjoy fishing, hunting and riding whatever toys we have this week!!
Trae Hammond
Groomsman
Trae & I met while working at ESS. You could often find us pranking our other coworkers, getting Hunt Brothers pizza together after jobs or out hunting. Trae has become a great friend of mine and I’m thankful ESS brought me one of my good buddies.
