"I am so thankful for my younger sister, Emily. Growing up, it was always just the two of us. Trust me...we definitely had our ups & downs, but there was something sweet about just having one sibling. When we moved to Texas in the middle of my 5th grade year & her 2nd grade year, we relied heavily on each other for friendship. I remember this being one of the closest times for us as siblings. I can still remember this one moment vividly. I remember looking at her & saying, "Things are changing so much, but at least we have each other." Wow. I hope this is the testimony of our relationship for the rest of our lives."

"Nathaniel is my older brother, so naturally, he is very dominate and outspoken. With that being said, he has never been afraid of sharing his opinion. I've been very thankful for his wisdom and insight he has given me through the years. It was through living together in college made me realize how thankful I was for his leadership. Nate is in the Air Force stationed in Aviano, Italy flying the F-16 Falcon. If you want to hear cool stories about Europe & all the things, talk to Nathaniel."
Maid of Honor
"Aimee is my cousin on my dad's side, but she is more than a cousin to me. I think the perfect description of our relationship is whenever she would leave after visiting from out-of-town, I would straight-up cry my eyes out. She was ALWAYS a sister to us. I am so thankful for her wisdom in all areas and how she challenges me in my view of the world. Also, if you ever need makeup or beauty product, go to this gal!!!"

"If you take my personality and Nate's personality & combined it, you would get Aaron. He is the baby of the Berndt brothers, but he is definitely no baby. Being the middle child of the family, I would be able to pick which side I wanted to be on with the brothers. Often times, Aaron and I would gang up on Nathaniel. Aaron is the handyman out of us. He is currently remodeling an RV, and the job he has in the Air Force is working with top-secret agencies on building different projects. Aaron is stationed in San Antonio, TX at Lackland AFB."

"Becca was my roommate in college & my good friend in my sorority. I am continuously thankful for her humor & silliness. She is constantly making people laugh & bringing JOY to those in her midst. One of my favorite memories of Becca come from when we were living in the sorority house on the third floor when we would prank each other. I got to stand next to this girl on her wedding day, and I'm so so honored that she gets to stand next to me on mine! I'm still trying to convince her husband Chris to be our DJ, so be looking out for that! HA! Now taking suggestions on his DJ name."

"Jackson & I first met in college freshman year in the dorms. He was a Kansas boy that loved sports and I was a Texas boy that loved sports as well. I was blessed to live with Jackson all four years of college. A lot of memories were shared from doing hiking trips, going to Chipotle every week, and going to Jayhawk basketball games. He now lives in Kansas City working for the Kansas City Chiefs!!! So ask him to hook you up at the wedding!"

"THIS GAL. Sami was my roommate in college & my very dear friend. We were both in the early childhood program at Oklahoma State & I got the sweet opportunity to travel abroad and student teach in Belgium with her my senior year. I have been so blessed by her friendship, getting to see her get baptized when we were living together. It is one of my favorite memories of all time! In college, we were often found singing Hold On by Wilson Phillips. If you want to make Sami cry, please show her a picture of a sloth! I'm so thankful that she is standing besides me on this special day!"
Groomsman
"Daniel & I first met in college during our freshman year. Jackson and Daniel were roommates, and I would always be in their room eating some of Daniel's mom delicious apple pie! Our initial bond was through car rides of jamming out to music. His creativity led him to graduate with an Architecture degree. He currently works in Kansas City with an Architecture firm, enjoying the travel trips his job provides."
Bridesmaid
"My sweet friend Gwat. I met this girl at Camp War Eagle my second summer of working there & we instantly connect because she is also from Louisiana! These two little Cajun girls can laugh for days with each other. Gwatney came into my life when I needed a friend the most. I'm so thankful for her friendship & the ways that she brings absolute JOY into my life."

"I met John through a college Christian organization called the Navigators. During college, Saturday mornings at McDonalds was our hangout spot. We talked about life along with going through the Bible together. His wisdom has helped me grow in my walk with Christ. He lives in Lawrence, KS finishing up his master's degree in Geology, and finding any spare time to go to Colorado and hike some 14ers."
Bridesmaid
"Morgan is my sweetest friend and constant encourager. I met Morgan randomly through my church & a year later, I got the pleasure of living with this girl for a whole year. This friend constantly edifies me & leads me into a deeper relationship with Christ. We both have similar testimonies & a passion for missions. God has really blessed me with this friendship."

"John and I were in Aerospace Engineering together as well as doing AFROTC during college. We really bonded through the long hours in the aerospace design lab and the many classes together. We kept each other awake or took pictures of the other person sleeping during the long days of classes. John is in the Air Force stationed in Enid, OK at Vance AFB, currently waiting to fly T-38 Aggressor."
