Natalie & Micah
Wedding Party
Josiah Fowler
Best Man
Josiah is my big brother, and closest friend. Older brothers are unique because you know them your whole life. He's always been there to make me laugh, make me feel safe, get me into trouble, and bail me out. I am incredibly proud of the man that he has become and he has set such a great example for me as a husband to his beautiful wife Hannah. He taught me how to look for adventure, taught me how to be a good room mate, and taught me how to think deeply and how to pursue what is meaningful and to reject what is superficial. More than anyone, Josiah has shaped so much of who I am, and I am so grateful to have him standing at my side on my big day.
Moriah Mejia
Matron of Honor
I met Moriah my freshmen year of college when she joined the campus ministry that I was a part of, although, we didn’t really become friends until our sophomore year when we lived in the same dorm. We quickly became best friends and she became someone I relied on, could share anything with, and always wanted to be with. Over the years she became more than a best friend but a sister. Last year, we decided to pray every night together for our husbands to come soon. Moriah got married 7 months ago and I officiated her wedding, and now I’m so grateful she will be standing by my side on my big day.
Tait Doeringer
Groomsman
Tait is a deeply spiritual man of God who I will always admire and cherish as my brother. We met in the ROTC program at UK, and he asked me to study the Bible with him. If it weren't for his guidance, patience, and example, I likely wouldn't have the faith and allegiance that I have for King Jesus today. Tait baptized me into Christ, and has been a spiritual leader to me and so many since those college ministry days. I am in awe of the husband and father he has become and I hope to become even a fraction of the man he is. I am honored that I get to have him next to me as Natalie and I step into our next adventure with God.
Brielle Almonte
Maid of Honor
I had known of Brielle for many years before we actually became close. I secretly always wanted to be her friend but thought she was too cool. It took being in the same campus ministry for 3 years, a pandemic, and some trauma to finally unite us. Brielle quickly became someone I could confide in, let loose with, and have as a partner. She provided a safe space and helped me know I could be myself with her. Brielle is passionate, resilient, and an amazing hype woman. I’m so grateful she will stand by my side as my maid of honor.
Nick Johnson
Groomsman
Nick is a loyal and faithful friend I've had the privilege of knowing and serving along side for the last 5 years. We became friends during the pandemic and I got to study the Bible with and baptize Nick in a bath tub in the old guys house off Edgemoor drive. Nick has been such a blessing and a joy to me and I will never regret violating all those covid restrictions to become best friends. Your marriage with Heidi is such a blessing to me, and we can't wait to do life and ministry with you both in Lexington for many years and raise our families together.
Katie Grimes
Bridesmaid
Katie stole a piece of my heart my senior year of high school when I went on a tour of Radford University and got to hang out with the campus ministry. Leaving the event, I told my mom I met someone who could become a best friend and that’s exactly what happened. Katie is fiercely loyal and has taught me so much about what it means to be a good friend. If you’ve ever told me I ask good questions or am a good listener, you can thank her, because I wasn’t before. Despite living hundreds of miles away from each other for 5 years, Katie remains a best friend that I’d never want to do life without—so much so that I changed my wedding date so she could be with me on my big day.
Chad Chen
Groomsman
Chad and I became roommates a few years ago, and then quickly became brothers. Chad comes to almost every Fowler family holiday and family get together, and he's literally been like a brother to me and my family these last few years. We love to roll (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) and we love to teach young men about the Bible, and we love to cook steak and talk politics. Chad is a handmade perfect friend for me and it's such a joy and a privilege to have him stand next to me on me special day. Chad and I would gladly fight, bleed, and die fighting by each others sides. There are few men as humble, honest, and disciplined as him left in this world.
Kimberly Gaines
Bridesmaid
The first person I ever wanted to be like was my big sister. People asked me what I wanted my name to be, I said hers. She played basketball, so I did too. She collected socks, so I did too. I was her "bg" (baby girl) and she was my Kimmy. Words could never express the gratitude I feel to have her with me through this season of engagement and then once again on my big day. I hope I can be as hard a fighter as her. I’m so proud to call her my big sister. I couldn’t imagine this day without her.
Laird Jarrett
Groomsman
Laird and I met when I first joined the National Guard. He and I were both guardsmen training to become officers, and then later discovered we went to the same church. Laird was such an inspiration to me during our college years, and he became one of the most stable, dependable, and faithful servants of Christ I ever had the privilege of serving alongside. He is a true brother in arms and in the faith. I'm so excited we get to have weddings in the same Summer, and I will always be your and Lily's biggest fan. Thanks for standing with me on my wedding day.
Sarah Hutchins
Bridesmaid
My first memory of Sarah is from our church’s summer camp and being in the same cabin. I was convinced she didn’t like me- I never confirmed if that was true or not. Years later, we both started college at the same time but at 2 different schools while joining the same campus ministry. From afar, I always admired what a great leader and friend Sarah was. Although we were distant friends through college, it wasn’t until after we graduated that we really started hanging out and then I lived with her and her husband, Will. Before work, Sarah and I would eat a whole can of cinnamon rolls together or I’d make pancakes and she’d make the coffee. She was a much needed friend during a season of busyness. I’m grateful to have her stand with me on this day.
Mitchell Nee
Groomsman
Mitchell is such an inspiration as a man of God, a leader, and a husband. Natalie and I are so grateful we have the Nees to fight for God's Kingdom alongside, and dream with as we preach the Gospel of King Jesus at our Campuses. In you I've found a true brother, a friend, and a partner in the Gospel. Thank you for all the encouragement and support over the years. I'm so grateful we get to step into this new season of life in the same summer, and I am so proud to have to standing at my side for our sacred union.
Jeannie Tene
Bridesmaid
Jeannie is a friend I take much pride and joy in. I met her randomly on campus and asked her if she wanted to learn more about God. She gave me her phone number and from there apparently I spammed her until she eventually agreed to come to one of our events. Since then I have watched Jeannie bloom and transform as a woman of God and it’s a journey I’m so grateful God has allowed me to be a part of. Over time Jeannie became a best friend to me, someone I could laugh so hard with but also go to God with in deep prayer and times of difficulty. She is radiant and I’m so glad to have her by my side.
