Wedding Party
Preston Hawkins

Brother of the Groom. Foster met him when he was born. (fun fact) Foster picked his name out of a hat when he was born, you're welcome.
Elisa Kilby
Matron of Honor
Elisa was one of Heather's first friends at Wingate University, and (fun fact) she introduced Heather to most of her bridesmaids! Elisa and Heather have done Bible studies together pretty much since they met and have a friendship blessed by God. Elisa has always lent a listening ear (no matter how much Heather rants!) and is very deserving of this role!
Autumn Kennedy
Maid of Honor
Autumn has been a close friend of Heather's for the past couple of years, they love to read God's word together with Elisa in their Bible study! Every time they are together there is always so much to share and they will talk for hours (yes, literal hours), and this is a friendship close to Heather's heart, Autumn is also very deserving of this role!
Kyle Jaskot
Groomsman
Foster met Kyle at a job at a hardware store back in 2020. They hit it off quickly and became fast friends. Through many similarities and shared interest they because very close friends. Sometimes they share a brain.
Sydney Hawkins
Bridesmaid
Sydney is the wife of the best man and has become a dear friend of Heather's. Heather remembers meeting Sydney and thinking she really wanted to be her friend. After becoming friends, Heather is so excited to now officially be family with Sydney! They have shared so many laughs together and love to chat about their love for mushrooms and bugs!
James Smith

They shared a workplace for a time and remained closely involved in each other's lives over the years.
Riley Byng

Riley has been a big part of Heather's life for the past 4 years, they met through their church (Plaza church) in community group. She has been the type of friend to listen, laugh, and challenge Heather.
Weston Byng
Groomsman
Foster and Weston met early in 2017 and got along well very early on. Through shared community and a common goal and work for the Gospel, they grew very close and later roomed together. Weston has been a good source of advice and healthy pushback when Foster needs it.
