Jonathan Zelaya
Best men
In the summer of 2020, Jonathan leased out a room for a week in the off campus house I had just moved into. Our friendship blossomed from there through longboarding, board games, and a desire to grow in Christ together! Jonathan is a deeply faithful friend filled with laughter and wisdom! Love you Jonathan!
Hannah Rae Tjelle
Bridesmaid
hannah rae has been a faithful and steadfast friend for me since i stepped onto campus for training camp my freshman year!! han walks boldly in the spirit and unapologetically as herself in any space she occupies. for my first two years at whitworth, hannah rae and i met for lunch every tuesday. those dates were such a gift to me! han holds truth and love together so so well. much of my learning surrounding the importance and worthiness of my voice can be credited to hannah rae. whitworth would've been a much different place had it not been for her. what a gift she is to me!!!!!!
Adam Sonneland
Best men
Adam and I met in their first week at Whitworth together! We were roommates our sophomore year, and have been housemates in our final two years of college. Some of our favorite memories include working at Camp Spalding together for two summers, being in a small group for 2 years, working for the same landscaping company [ Copper Creek :') ] for 1 short week... and lots of laughter together! Love you Adam!
Kaela Paxton
Bridesmaid
kaela and i have known of each other for longer than i had originally realized. through a fun and random connection (shoutout kelley!!!), i got to meet kaela the fall of my sophomore year! every interaction i've had with kaela is evidence of her gracious and giving spirit, her joy, and her desire and willingness to serve. neither of us have ever had a sister, and i feel so grateful and excited that we soon get to be that!!!!
Carl Peterson
Best men
Carl and I were in a small group together (with Adam) for our first two years of Whitworth, but really bonded in March of 2020 over some Applebee's 25 cent wings, some Netflix, and the Lord's grace. From there, we have been housemates the last two years, have worked at Camp Spalding together, and have had endless late night door frame conversations that went wayyyyyy past our bedtime. Our mutual love for board games and growing deeper in Christ have provided lasting memories. Love you Carl!
Hannah (bean) Langbehn
Bridesmaid
this photo feels so representative of bean's and my relationship!!!! i can quite confidently say that i would not be the person that i am right now if it weren't for her consistency, her encouragement, her gentle challenge, and her big love. bean looks at everyone as a child of God, as one made in His image. she is so full of the Spirit and has taught me tons about grace and generosity, with myself and others, about leadership, about patience, and about freedom. bean has been there since the first day i stepped onto campus my freshman year, and i love how our relationship has grown as we have the past 4 years!!!
Gage Coprivnicar
Groomsman
Gage- One of my future brother-in-laws! But we will drop the "in-law" part because I'm is so excited to officially have a brother (or two). Although we don't have a picture together yet, it is only a matter of time before we are flexin on camera lenses left and right. Love you Gage!
Sarah McCormack
Bridesmaid
sarah has loved me generously and consistently for my whole entire life!! she is the closest thing i've ever known to a sister. through sleepovers and rockband and spa days and dinner dates, she has been the best cousin, role model, and friend. sarah is arguably the coolest person i know. she is confident, serving, driven, bold, gracious, and unapologetically herself. through years of adventures together, i have learned so much about what it means to be a woman of God who loves others as herself. the Lord has blessed me tremendously through sarah. 2cuzforeverrrrrrrrrr
William Huggins
Groomsman
William is my cousin (separated by only 3 months)! Growing up together, we loved playing StarFox, going on imaginary yet thrilling adventures with their super piggies, and scaring cousin Kaela hehe. As we have gotten older, we have bonded over our shared experiences participating in collegiate athletics, board/computer games, and chess! Love you YumYum! ;)
Jadyn Berryhill
Bridesmaid
i have had the gift of knowing jadyn for a long time!! i followed her through elementary, middle, and high school, and then decided to also follow her to university too hehe ! jadyn has walked confidently in her faith for many years and i've gotten the blessing of looking up to her on our soccer teams, in ministry settings, relationally, and as a woman of God. from boise to spokane and back to boise, jadyn has been so intentional in our relationship and has loved me so consistently. we have traveled and worked and played and learned and grown together and i could not be more thankful for who she is and how she loves !!!!
Gideon Coprivnicar
Groomsman
Gideon- another future brother-to-be! I met Gideon at the Coprivnicar's grandparents' house and the similarity in height, weight, hair length, and collegiate athletics were staggering ;') Later in the summer we got to bond over a lift, smoothie bowls, and surfing to make for a sweet beginning of our now soon-to-be brotherhood. Love you Gideon!
Millie Bledsoe
Bridesmaid
a river photo is so appropriate for this relationship!! though i've known millie for many years, our friendship didn't fully bloom until we were stuck together for a week on the salmon river. millie is bold and brave. consistent and loyal. a lover of people and adventure. she has walked faithfully with me through so many ups and downs and i am constantly blown away by her willingness to step into growth and hard things with open hands and an open heart. i am thankful to know that millie is, and will always be, in my corner!!
Jt McDermott
Groomsman
Jt and I have been 4-year teammates on the Whitworth basketball team, but more importantly our friendship is filled with laughs and fun memories. There may not be a person on the planet that can make me laugh like Jt and his mannerisms can. Through the grueling morning workouts, late night hotel laughs, and lots of buckets got together, I cherish this friendship a lot. Love you Todd!
Arielle Van Peursem
Bridesmaid
ari vp!!! boss! director! cfo!!!! ari has spoken truth and life into me since i met her my freshman year at whitworth! playing soccer with her dramatically changed the way i view myself, my capability, and what it means to be a leader. ari is generous, bold, confident, and loving. she has gifted me so much through dinners and trips and sweet, meaningful time. i am so thankful to call this woman a friend, an encourager, a sister in Christ, and a bridesmaid!!!!
Rowan Anderson
Groomsman
Rowan and I were freshman year roommates and have also been 4-year teammates on the Whitworth basketball team. Our friendship has been formed through countless shooting workouts, shared meals, and lots of wins earned together throughout their career. Rowan is such a supportive and encouraging presence in all aspects of our friendship! Love you Rowrow!
