Bethany & Zachary
Wedding Party
Kristen Muse
Matron of Honor
Kristen is my older sister and someone I have always looked up to! When I was little I wanted to be just like her and I still do ;). I have always admired Kristen for her discernment and wisdom. I am so thankful to have her standing by my side on November 14th. Fun fact, she actually told me when I was younger that Zach and I would get married one day. I'm glad she was right!
Patrick Ford
Best Man
My brother has been one of the biggest influences in my life. Since I was a kid, I wanted to emulate his every move and interest. Through all of our childhood adventures, he helped shape me into the man I am today. He has been my closest friend and confidant from literal birth, and I can think of no one else to have as my best man.
Abby Provin
Maid of Honor
If you ever need a great listening ear, an eye for interior design, or someone to organize literally anything, Abby is your girl!! Abby and I met at USC. It wasn't until after we graduated that we became best friends, truly a friendship worth waiting for! Even though we've known each other for only 2 1/2 years, I feel like I've known her forever. Choosing Abby to be my Maid of Honor was the easiest decision! :)
Terry Ford
Groomsman
My Dad, the wise-man, the Bigfoot enthusiast, the jokester, has always made sure to be a part of every life event. He has taught me so much over the years from shaving to changing my car's brakes, and I still have so much to learn from him. His sacrifices ensured that I was brought up in a God-fearing home with a stout Christian education. As I am preparing for the milestone of my marriage, I hope to make him proud when I take on the husband role he has perfected.
Rachel Parvin
Bridesmaid
During the first week of college I sat next to Rachel at a welcome lunch held at Shandon Church, little did I know she would become one of my closest friends at USC. Rachel is so thoughtful and intentional, she makes it so easy to be myself! My favorite memory with Rachel is spending the whole summer in Columbia with her. We called it our "dating season" because we saw each other everyday lol. I am so grateful to have a friend in Rachel.
Tyler Mahr
Groomsman
Tyler and I became fast friends at college through Adam where we spent night after night staying up later than we should and eating way too much ice cream. However, not all of our indulgences were as irresponsible as these. Our deep discussion of God's work and our own passions strengthened our relationship beyond the boundaries of time and distance. I know I can always rely on him to help me through hardship and celebrate my success.
Mary Beth Parkinson
Bridesmaid
Mary Beth and I met at Cornerstone Church when we were 4 years old. We have been friends for over 20 years. She is always down for any adventure and she is the best artist that I know. I am so thankful for her participating in all of my crazy antics for all these years. I treasure her friendship so dearly and I am so glad that her living in Nashville hasn't changed how good of friends we've been.
Aaron Lingerfelt
Groomsman
Have you ever had a friend who, despite the years passage of time, never seems to change? That is my friend Aaron who I have known since I was nearly five years old. Even a school transfer could not separate us! From drawing grand battles in 1st grade to breaking out the old N64 a few weeks ago, some things between friends just never change. His firm loyalty and outrageous humor means he never meets a stranger, and a friend for him is friend for life. I'm inclined to feel the same.
Kelly Fischer
Bridesmaid
Kelly and I met at Grace Church while serving in Children's Ministry. I was immediately drawn to Kelly's spunky personality, which led me to introduce her to my older brother Kyle! Over the past 5 years, It has been so fun getting to know Kelly. She is easy to talk to and is a great person to share a laugh with! This year, Kyle and Kelly were so gracious enough to let me be a roommate of theirs, don't worry I'll be leaving in November ;)
Adam Farmer
Groomsman
The honest truth is... Adam was a literal gift from God. Before accusations of exaggerations are made, we met the first day of college as roommates and never once considered leaving the other. We never moved rooms and stayed roommates all four years! There are a few people with whom I can share intense discussion and comedy gold back to back. Adam is one of them. His humble wisdom and unmentionable lunacy have made being his friend both an honor and a riot.
Erin Fischer
Bridesmaid
Erin recently joined the Fischer clan and we have loved having her be a part of our crazy family! She is so easy to love and is always eager to help. In the beginning of Zach and I dating she gave me a lot of great advice and truth. I will hold onto her wise words forever!
Kyle Fischer
Groomsman
Kyle, Bethany's oldest brother, has one of the most welcoming presences and attitudes I have known. Every conversation I have had with him makes me feel like I have learned something new or each word I spoke was appreciated. Through our discussions of politics to sports, I have glimpsed into his humble insight and genuineness. I look forward to getting to know him even better as my brother-in-law.
Aly Ford
Bridesmaid
Aly will be my newest sister-in law, and I am so excited to have her by my side on my big day. I am so thankful for Aly, she is great to be around, and I can't wait to grow my friendship with her. Aly played a big part when Zach proposed to me. She made that day so special for us!!
Joel Fischer
Groomsman
In each of the Fischer family events which I have attended, Joel has stood out as someone who cares and appreciates the unity family brings. It is clear he takes great pride in the service he can do for those he loves. In many ways, I hope to echo his dedication to family with not only my own but also my new one. His utmost resolve and intentionality makes looking for a loyal friend an easy task for anyone.
