Chantelle Read

Matron of Honor

How We Know Each Other: Sister of the Bride With a gap of 9 years, you would think that we would have difficulty finding common ground. However that's not the case. Chantelle has always been my role model and protector. She has always been there to take care of me and support me, and put me in my place when I need it. She is extremely selfless, always doing things for others: whether its opening her home, planning events, or volunteering her time. She always puts others before her self. Her laugh and smile is infectious and she is always the life of the party. Any time we're together, you can hear us from a mile away.

Danielle Shaw

Maid of Honor

How We Know Each Other: Sister of the Bride Danielle is the tiniest business woman I have ever met. She is extremely organized and opinionated. Being only two and half years apart, we would argue frequently growing up. But as we've gotten older, we've definitely grown closer. I can always count on her to be completely candid with me and tell me how she really feels. Even though we can sometimes have our differences, she's always had my back. From fighting boys to helping me get ready for prom, she's always been there. I truly admire her ambition and creative mind. I hope to be more like her when I grow up. She may be tiny, but boy is she mighty.

Seth Hardman

Best Man

Brother of the groom How we know each other: The eldest of the two brothers I have and probably the one who has had my back the most when it comes to conflicts, meaning he always had my back when I would get into a fight with Cole, my other brother. Coming from a family with three boys we did fight a lot but the true memories come from the trips we have taken together. Trips from traveling to Snowshoe Village for skiing to traveling to Queenstown to whitewater raft and hike, we enjoy adventuring together. I can’t wait for the next trip the three of us take together! Fun Fact: He is single and ready to mingle…. ;)

Coleman Hardman

Best Man

Brother of the groom How we know each other: Cole is the younger brother of the two older brothers I have. With us only having 13 months between the two of us (my parents did not mess around), we shared and continue to share a lot in common. The two of us delighted in growing up playing sports together to now we enjoy adventuring around the world when the opportunity arrives. Now that we live apart, I am starting to realize how much I miss bickering with him, which means each trip we take together in the future, it gives me the opportunity to start something so we can go back at it again…hahaha Fun Fact: Never have I ever known someone who would continue to drink a drink that made the vomit. – Absinthe, New Year’s Eve Berlin, Germany

Alyssondra Haymaker

Bridesmaid

How We Met: Elementary School Alyssondra has seen me through it all, and vice versa. She is that one friend who matches my crazy. But she also will tell me how it is, and lay some Godly wisdom on me. She is one of the most social humans I know. She can literally have a conversation with anyone or anything, I kid you not. One thing I love most about Aly is her genuine pursuit of Jesus, despite whatever life may throw at her. She will always encourage you and lift you up.

Ariel Cohen

Bridesmaid

How We Met: 4th Grade Classmates I can't call Ariel, Ariel. She is forever Ariellie to me. From making tye-dye name tags and choregraphing Britney Spears dances in our bedrooms, to college roomies and each others bridesmaids, this right here is a life time friend. Ariellie is one of the most generous, thoughtful and loving people. She is constantly killing the fashion game and has the best palate for all the foodie places. If shes, not sending adorable cards, or instagramming beautiful mural walls, she's adventuring somewhere. I am so grateful for her consistency and love. She is truly one of a kind.

Ashley Martin

Bridesmaid

How We Met: Grad School Ashley is the most easy going person I have ever met. Her zeal for life, and ability to truly take each day as it comes as truly taught me a lot in one of the busiest seasons of life. She has made me live lighter and truly trust in God's plan rather than in my own control. She is extremely easy to talk to, very fun loving, and ridiculously smart. She has a photogenic memory that is unmatched. She has a love for adventure and a passion for holistic health. We are getting married on her 30th birthday, so please make sure to give her some birthday love!

Daniella Banks

Bridesmaid

How We Met: Undergrad We are one in the same, British Jamaicans. The first time we met, we just clicked. D and I became friends pretty instantly. Her friendship is one of those where you can just pick up where you left off no matter how much time has passed. She is a strong woman of faith, who passionately loves the Lord and gets after whatever she is called to. She is one of the realest people I know. She has always supported me, encouraged me and most importantly prayed for me.

Samara Wohlfiel

Bridesmaid

How We Met: High School This blonde bombshell is the most ambitious go getter I know. Her entrepreneurial ways have always trailed her path but when collided with Jesus, it exploded her community. Samara is extremely loyal, very blunt and super wise. She is always there to put me in my place, but also let me know how insanely proud of me she is. She is the perfect balance of bold and reserved. We started out as rivals competing for the same student government position in high school. But once I actually got to know her, we quickly formed our now quad. She has an undeniable talents for all things baking. In fact she is actually making our cake for the wedding. She with the help of her husband also make some of the cutest tiny humans I know. :)

Chris Hall

Groomsman

How we know each other: The two of us became friends through what I like to call “forced friendship”. Both of our parents worked together, which meant after school the two of us would play together, eventually leading to the two of us finding our greatest connection through soccer and hunting/fishing/camping together. Though hunting/fishing/camping and sports might have been what we connected through as kids, now when we see each other we enjoy skiing or golfing and reminiscing about the good ole times we had growing up. Fun Fact: If the world were to ever come to an end, I know I could rely on him for whatever doomsday supplies I would need. The man is stocked!

Tyler Williams

Groomsman

How we know each other: If I had to speak for my family, I would say he is one of the few friends we, Hardman Boys, had who they would consider to be an adopted son to our family. Every family event, he made sure he made an appearance, even when I wouldn’t be there he stopped in. Tyler and I are one of the few friends from home who did everything together but eventually decided to leave home to start a new life in a different state away from everything we had ever known. Fun Fact: Tyler is also a Doctor of Chiropractic who has recently opened his own practice in Cary, North Carolina. Good Luck Tyler!

Wayne Strope

Groomsman

How we know each other: We grew up as neighbors (for those of you who are from Florida, when I say neighbors, he lived about one mile from me but we still walked to each other’s house) and were probably in trouble 80% of the time we were together. Even though the discipline grew the more we got in trouble and I have moved away, it has never hindered the friendship and devotedness we have for one another. I know when I want to enjoy a favorite past time of going for a ride or to just sit by the fireplace, I just have to call Wayne and say “Hey, would you like to go for a ride? Or Do you want to come up to the house and hangout?” Fun Fact: He used to be one of the top rated Cross-country Cross dirt bike racers during his time.

Gracie Shepley

Flower Girl

How We Met: Cousin of the Groom Gracie is no stranger to a compliment. She's cute and she knows it! She is super social and sweet as pie. As Trevor's little cousin she is always giving us a run for our money! She will always tell you the honest truth about how she feels and talk you into playing with her. She has charm and she knows how to use it!

Bella Read

Flower Girl

How We Know Each Other: Niece of the Bride This little sass queen is so full of vibrant life and energy. She is the life of any party, and a grooving dance queen. She is so stinkin cute! Her little laugh is contagious and her smile is infectious. Bella bear has big curls, that match her big personality that fills the room. She is extremely confident but also very polite. I love this little button to pieces!

Aiden Read

Ring Bearer

How We Know Each Other: Nephew of the Bride Aiden Alexander is by far the brightest 5 year old I know. He learned how to read at age 4 and asks some of the most intellectual questions I have come across for his age. He is a curious little man and will invent something by 2040. He has a passion for outer space and enjoys building things. Although he may be more reserved than his sister, once he gets to know you he is as silly as can be. His little handsome face literally lights up the room. I love him so much!
