Wedding Party

Christian

Groom

Rochelle

Bride

Janelle

Matron of Honor

Janelle is Rochelle's identical twin, but she is so much more than that. Janelle is Rochelle's role model. Rochelle has looked up to her since they were little girls, throughout college, and now in their 30's. Janelle exudes selflessness, love, and care for those around her. She finds a way to make time, space, and love for everyone in her life, while excelling professionally, and raising two perfect little boys (both under 2!). Rochelle would not be who she is today without Janelle.

Lisa

Matron of Honor

Christian may be Rochelle's male soul mate, but Lisa is her female soul mate. Lisa and Rochelle met in college and joined a sorority together. Lisa and Rochelle have traveled together to Italy, France, Denmark, Bali, and Australia, but Rochelle's favorite adventure was living with Lisa in Seattle prior to Lisa getting married. Lisa now lives in Australia but her and Rochelle still talk for hours every week. Lisa's fierce loyalty, empathy, and celebratory nature are three things Rochelle loves the most about her.

Ashlyn

Bridesmaid

Ashlyn is Rochelle's longest friend (outside of her sister), they met in 7th grade on the school bus. Ashlyn and Rochelle have countless memories from playing HS basketball together, going to U of O together, traveling together and living together. One thing Rochelle loves the most about Ashlyn is her unwavering support, love, and loyalty. Ashlyn cares deeply about the people in her life and Rochelle is so fortunate to have had her as a best friend for 17+ years.

Kelsey

Bridesmaid

Kelsey and Rochelle met during freshman year of college, the moment that stands out the most to Rochelle from that first year, is when Kelsey and her decided to be each other's Valentines and dressed up and went to dinner (in the dorms- so it wasn't great food), but still had such a wonderful time. Fast forward 12 years later and they still treat each other like Valentine's and share so much love with each other through daily texts, voice messages, and calls.

Brittany

Bridesmaid

Brittany and Rochelle met when working at Jake's Grill, everyone thought they were sisters, which made them laugh. When they weren't assisting customers they spent their time dreaming up their next business, writing goals, and sharing passions. The two girls lived together for 2+ years and loved hosting parties that always included a good bottle of wine, some creative theme, and sometimes a game of Twister.

Sarah

Bridesmaid

Sarah and Rochelle met through a friend of a friend and knew right away they were meant to be friends. They have a shared passion for empowering others, personal development, and fitness. Sarah constantly brings joy to Rochelle's life, through her relentless encouragement and love to her unwavering support. Sarah always brings a smile to the lives of others, she can make ANY situation fun, and leaves everyone better than she found them.

Rachel

Bridesmaid

Rachel and Rochelle met freshman year in college, but their lives crossed many times prior to "officially meeting", they were destined to become best friends (fun fact: they grew up a few streets from each other, but went to different schools). Rachel is an angel on Earth. She is one of the most kind, caring, and selfless people in the world. Rachel loves with her entire heart and will go out of her way to provide for those around her. Rochelle and Rachel also lived together and have traveled to Hawaii, Colorado, and SoCal together.

Maui

Ring Bearer

The love of our (mainly Rochelle's) life.

Kevin

Best Man

Kevin has been the best friend of the groom since birth, following in Christian's footsteps since he was born, and leading by example since he got married and started a family. He brings a smile and lighthearted joke to every party, and will surely make the day one to remember.

James Tyler

Groomsman

James Tyler or "Jt" is a cowboy through and through. He and Christian became friends in high school, as they suffered through JV soccer, and went against the grain of every unwritten rule at their private school, including taking the senior prank into their own hands. From trapping wild hawks and training them to wrestling strangers in Mongolia, Christian and JT have been though a lot of life together and they still have many unwritten chapters in their friendship of a lifetime.

Mark

Groomsman

Mark and the groom both share a passion for the outdoors and talking about God, instilled in them at an early age while attending the same summer camp in the mountains of Colorado. First campers, then on staff, it's safe to say Mark's sense of humor and adventure has always kept everyone on their toes.

Clint

Groomsman

As neighbors growing up in Washington, Clint and the groom have a shared passion for the outdoors. Spanning the decades, their shared passion for fishing and hunting has resulted in many mornings on the water, and countless meals of salmon, duck, deer, and other wild game.

Jeff

Groomsman

As 11 year olds at summer camp, neither Jeff or the groom knew that they would one day walk alongside one another at high school graduation, attend college together, and eventually live in the same mountain town and share the same job (Jeff graciously filled in the teaching duties while Christian finished his big year). If that's not true brotherly love... what is? Fun fact: Jeff's younger brother is also friends with the groom's younger brother.

Scott

Groomsman

As the groom's brother-in-law, Scott is representing the bride tribe on the groom’s side of the aisle. From early on, Scott has proven to be a great friend and solid brother-to-be to the groom. From hunting adventures to trucks, Scott is just as crazy about all things outdoors, adventure sports, and hunting and fishing, so naturally, he fits right in.

Ben

Groomsman

Ben and the groom have endured a lot: grueling High school English classes, Missouri Day, and numerous sports camps and changes of leadership at Principia over the course of many years. They have navigated some major life challenges together, overcoming loss and adversity and relying on one another’s loyal support as friends through many challenges. Ben enjoys hunting and fishing, guns, and fast cars, with a proclivity towards BMWs.
