Maid of Honor
Friends since my freshman (Anna's sophomore) year of college when she taught me what it looks like follow Jesus. We've bonded over a shared personality and love of Chinese culture and food.
Best Man
Bart (Iron Bird) and I met in 2012, but over the past couple years have bonded over breakfast burritos, golf, Top Chef, and shooting birds.
Bridesmaid
Friends since our Downline year but our friendship solidified when we moved in together over three years ago. I got to stand next to Jess in her wedding summer of 2017.
Groomsman
Levi and I enjoy a good afternoon sitting quietly in Taziki's, in a movie (likely with a lot of CGI), or talking about the newest music we've been listening to. Still one of my favorite pictures.
Bridesmaid
Friends since our Downline year when I decided I wanted to be her friend and she allowed it ;). I got to be Dom's maid of honor in her wedding fall of 2015.
Groomsman
Brad and I became the best of friends, spending most of our free time together in 2015/2016. Whether it was a sunday nap, talking about Jesus, watching movies, or cooking dinner together (with Steph's supervision).
Bridesmaid
Friends since we saw each other across a room our sophomore year of college and said to ourselves "I want to be her friend". We've been self-proclaimed "Barnabai" (plural of Barnabas) ever since.
Groomsman
"Log" We met in Downline, but didn't really bond until we lived together afterwards and went to East Asia in 2014. Now we've lived together for 3+ years and have a very transparent relationship. He's always there when I need to talk through things.
Bridesmaid
Friends since we were put in the same house our Downline year. We bonded over being jobless for the first few months of that year.
Groomsman
Chip. WOW. I met this guy when I started to volunteer with the youth in 2013. We led a small group together, where I learned so much about leading, in a lot of ways. I've been lucky enough to continue getting time together with Chip this past year. Truly a very loving and honest friend.
Bridesmaid
Friends since being assigned as accountability partners in small group our freshman year of college. That "random" assignment went from lunch dates to being roommates for two years. I got to stand next to Sarah Beth in her wedding fall of 2015.
Groomsman
"Jakey" Jake promised to always be there for me. He's never broken that promise and I don't expect he ever will. Very thankful for the courage and charisma this little brother has and shares. I feel honored to don his last name on occasion.

"Malt" Matt lived his life and showed me the love of Jesus, waiting for me to ask. When I did, he was very open with his life and his time. Then him and a few guys pursued me for nearly a year, giving up a lot of their time to show me that love.

"Ron" I met with this guy the day he was going to buy the ring he used to ask his wife to marry him. He was busy and went way out of his way to answer questions and prompt me with them. Even though I could beat him up easily, he never gives up. Lots of time wrestlin' and him tapping out. Very soft.
