Chloe & Max
Wedding Party
Paige Larison
Maid of Honor
Paige and Chloe met 9 short years ago in a study hall at school and ever since they have been best friends. It's said that they knew each other long before that... on a preschool playground where Chloe told Paige her breath smelled but we don't speak of those times... There is no one on this earth who knows Chloe better than Paige and no one else who could have helped Chloe to become the woman she is today like Paige has. Hopefully, it's not too late for them to fulfill Chloe's dream of becoming roommates?
Clay Newberry
Best Man
Max and Clay met during the spring of 2016 in a Navigators intensive Bible study entitled "Joshua Team," and have been Thunder Buddies (patent pending) since their infamous residency at the apartment complex during the 2016-2017 school year. Clay's personality and loyalty have proven invaluable to Max. They are almost complete opposites, but that is what makes them the best of friends (and groundskeeping co-workers). He is one of the most loyal people Max has ever met, and Max cannot wait for a lifetime of friendship. They are upset to no longer share a bed in the future, but new memories will take the place of old.
Abbey Hansen
Bridesmaid
Abbey and Chloe knew of each other throughout college but didn't become close until Chloe and Max started dating. Abbey and her husband Michael have walked alongside Max and Chloe throughout the entirety of their relationship. Abbey is one of the most creative, generous, hospitable and kind people you will ever meet. Chloe dearly hopes to live close to Abbey during their first year of marriage!!
Michael Hansen
Groomsman
Michael and Max have been close friends since the moment Max came on campus. Michael discipled fellow groomsman Hunter, and the three of them would hang out quite frequently in Dieterich Hall. Michael and his wife and fellow bridesmaid Abbey have been close confidants to Max and Chloe over the course of their relationship, serving up key advice and wisdom at the most needed moments. Michael is one of the wisest and funniest people you will ever meet, and has been such an amazing friend. Max looks forward to living and serving in the same area during the first year of marriage!
Anna Akers
Bridesmaid
Anna and Chloe became fast friends while living together in the blue house during Anna's last semester on campus at Northwest. Over the past two years as Anna has become a newlywed her friendship and wisdom has been invaluable to Chloe. It wasn't too long ago that Chloe was standing by Anna on her special day and now Anna gets to do the same for her!
Hunter Davis
Groomsman
Hunter was Max's freshman year RA on the seventh floor of Dieterich Hall, and right from the start they knew that they were basically the same person. They had almost the exact same hobbies, interests, background stories, and so much more. They were fast friends, and have been ever since. Hunter has such a genuine heart and has been an awesome role model for Max over these last few years. He was the first person at Northwest to show Max the love of Christ on a day-to-day basis, and was the first person to model this in a discipleship relationship. What a friend!
Micaela Vaccaro
Bridesmaid
Micaela and Chloe met at Northwest through The Bridge Church. Their friendship started off slow but once the fire started burning there was no stopping it! Their relationship is vulnerable conversations coated in tears, Pride and Prejudice on repeat, laughs in the midst of pain and tea. Always tea. Chloe is so thankful to have a friend like Micaela to help her and Max walk through a lifetime together.
Eric Petersen
Groomsman
Booch and Max have been close friends since Joshua Team their freshman year and a very fun car ride to Jacksonville that summer. Their bond intensified when they became accountability partners during the first edition of Noblemen, a men's initiative detailing Biblical manhood. Eric has overwhelmingly shown the love and grace of Christ in their friendship, helping Max see Christ more and more over time. He has provided wise insight throughout the course of Max's relationship to Chloe, and has been such a great roommate during that time as well.
Sarah Rouse
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Chloe met in the music department at Northwest during their freshman year. In the midst of extreme pressure to perform they became dear friends because of their shared commitment to Christ. Over the years their friendship only strengthened and now as two college graduates with degrees in vocal music education they continue to stay in contact and share all that God is teaching them in this transition period after college.
Jacob Peterson
Groomsman
This mans. Jacob and Max have deep roots...and by "deep roots," we mean that Max was one of the first people Jacob met at Northwest. Jacob was the first person that Max discipled after growing a deep friendship in the choirs and in the Navigators, and they helped each other grow exponentially in their personal walks with the Lord. They moved in together, and have been living together for the past two years in the Bunker household. Jacob is a charming, driven, and energetic young man and Max is so fortunate to have him by his side.
Shannon Demehri
Bridesmaid
Shannon, Chloe's soon to be sister in law, is one of the most genuine people she has ever known. From the moment Chloe met Shannon, she made her feel deeply known and loved. Shannon's contact name in Chloe's phone is "Saint Shannon" if that helps you get a picture of the wonderful woman she is! To say Chloe is excited to have Shannon standing by her side on her wedding day would be an understatement.
Tucker Hill
Groomsman
Tucker is the goofiest person Max knows, but easily has one of the biggest hearts. Tucker is the second oldest Hill brother, and lived right around the block from him in Maryville. He cares for his family very much and, if it came down to it, would sacrifice anything for their well-being. He constantly offers to buy Max food, and this is one of the best ways Max feels loved by him. Max and Tucker have a close bond, and Max is very fortunate to have Tuck supporting him in the future.
Nina Parker
Bridesmaid
Nina and Chloe met while living in the Blue House at Northwest. Their shared love for Jesus, fitness, food, and missions took them from acquaintances to best friends in a matter of moments. They would talk for HOURS into the night and have competitions to see who could eat the most pint-sized ice creams from HyVee. Suffice to say Chloe won. Even though Nina has only been in Chloe's life for two years it feels like she has been there forever!
Isaiah Swann
Groomsman
Isaiah Gene Swann is one of the most dedicated men Max has met, and is such a loyal friend. They did not have a super close bond up until they went to Southeast Asia together with the Navigators. This trip stripped them down to the fabric of who they thought they were, and this lit up their friendship. Then they lived in the Bunker household during Isaiah's senior year, which provided immense accountability and vulnerability in growing together. Max stood by Isaiah's side in his wedding, and now Max requests the same!
Hunter Faris
Usher
Chloe's older brother Hunter is the goofiest, most driven, intelligent and honest person that she knows. Chloe is so thankful to have had an older brother like him to go through this life with and she can't wait to see the adventures they all go on together when Max and her are married! She also can't wait for him to teach swing dancing at their wedding ;)
Logan Hill
Usher
Logan is the youngest brother in the Hill household, and by far and away the most handsome. Max will be lucky if Logan doesn't steal the show at his wedding. Logan is a freshman in high school, but is definitely taller than Max...who is about to graduate college. His personality is as large as his height, as Logan's kindness stretches to the heavens. He is so intelligent, funny, and caring...and is better at playing Legendary. Max is extremely blessed to have a younger brother like Logan, and loves spending time with him doing anything. Logan is psyched to serve at Max and Chloe's wedding!
Tanner Rowe
Usher
Chloe's little brother is just as crazy as his picture shows. Ever since he was a toddler he has been known in his family as boo boo after a camping trip where Chloe's step dad continuously commented, "Hey boo boo, got another picanic basket?" Chloe loves Tanner more than a big sister should and she shows it by forcibly hugging him every chance see gets. Chloe is so excited to have Tanner be an usher at her wedding and hopes he will show some of his sick dance moves to her guests.
