Levi Bailey
Best Man
Liberty Cosens
Bridesmaid
Liberty and Grace met (officially) for the first time in 8th grade at a leadership camp. Liberty and Grace had been hanging out at this camp and Liberty in a forward fashion said "I think you're really cool, can I get your number?" Grace believes this instance proves Liberty to have smoother moves than the groom himself.

Madison Flewelling
Bridesmaid
Madison and Grace do not know how they met for the first time but they bonded at a "pick a date" at IWU(this is when a dorm floor will grab a friend, and they all go on a "date" as a hall). It was a good way for freshmen to meet new friends. Madison and Grace were asked by some friends of theirs to go get ice cream. Madison and Grace clung to each other very quickly and basically went on a date with one another instead of their actual "dates." They now find themselves in long hours of conversation and connecting over their shared experiences. God gets them together at the most perfect time when they somehow are going through the same struggle or experience in life!

Audrie Dalton
Bridesmaid
Audrie and Grace met in elementary school and were in dance together for 12 years. Their first bonding experience was sitting through their little brother's baseball games together. They also found joy in arts and crafts together. In 2014, the year Frozen the movie came out, Audrie and Grace agreed to cut a strand of Grace's hair out to give Audrie the white strand in her darker hair, like Anna in the movie. They were the perfect Elsa and Anna duo!

Sara Durnil
Bridesmaid
Sara and Grace met for the first time in a dance class at 5 and 6 years old! Sara did not last long in the dance world, but they made efforts to be friends in co-ops and sports throughout the years. Sara and Grace have had a competitive nature in their relationship; for years, they debated over whose sport was the best(soccer vs. XC). One of Sara's fears as a child was Grace growing taller than her, as they both were very tall and took a lot of pride in it. Grace always remembers when Sara told her that the spices of blue Doritos were ant brains and believed her for a while. It turned out it was a prank her older brothers had played on her that Sara believed wholeheartedly!

Callie Chudy
Bridesmaid
Callie and Grace knew about one another for a while until they could be in the same spaces. They eventually were in dance class and co-ops together as kids. Callie and Grace went through a boy band phase together and obsessed hardcore for a couple of years. They saw a couple of concerts together and met the boy band. Their favorite memory together was one sleepover when they stayed up late discussing the awe of heaven and how unimaginable it would be!
