Officiant
Tim was our college minister when we first met. He has been a supporter of our relationship from the beginning...even before we were anywhere close to being together. Tim and his wife Beth have been extremely instrumental in our lives and our walks with the Lord, and we treasure their friendship greatly. Also their kids are super cute and we claim them as our nieces and nephew. (Shoutout to Will, Savannah, and Brooke!) -Rebecca
Officiant/Groomsman
Jared was our college minister during the beginning of our relationship. He was the one who told me to “man up” and ask Ian out (You know, since I had rejected him twice already...oops). Jared and his wife Sam are some of our very best friends (even though they left us to move to Alabama) and are always there with great biblical advice and some crazy laughter. (Another shoutout to some of the cutest little girls, Addy and Emmy!) -Rebecca
Maid of Honor
My best friend! That’s my best friend! Sydney and I have known each other for years and years, but our friendship has really blossomed in the last couple of years. She is my person for advice, venting, watching Hallmark movies, and having lots of dance parties. She will be quick to inform you that I asked Ian out in HER apartment. She was and is one of the most vocal supporters of our relationship (she even helped him pick out the ring), and there’s no one I would rather have standing by my side as we take the next steps into our life together. -Rebecca
Best Man

Matron of Honor
My sister and my built-in best friend. Even though we’re 14 years apart, we’ve always been exceptionally close. Our parents did have to tell her I didn’t need another mom when I was young, but since then, it’s been smooth sailing. Whether it was dance or softball or basketball or choir or theatre, she was always there to cheer me on. Also, she made me an aunt so... I’m so glad I was able to stand by you at your wedding, and now you will stand by me at mine. I love you, Seester. -Rebecca
Groomsman
Shayne and I have been best friends since second grade. I'm not going to say how long ago that was, but you get the picture. -Ian
Bridesmaid
This girl has been there since day 1 and I’m probably not exaggerating. Growing up at church together, Kathryn was always someone I could rely on to make my life fun. We have been talking about our weddings and future husbands since we were about 10 years old, and I am so excited that she will get to stand with me now all these years later. We don’t get to see each other nearly as often as I would like (Thanks, Alabama), but I know I can always count on her to be there for me even if it’s just through the phone. -Rebecca
Groomsman
John is one of Rebecca's best childhood friends, and one of my best adulthood friends. John likes bears, definitely ask him about it. -Ian
Bridesmaid
I would not have survived high school, especially senior year, without Hunter. Schoolwork, physics projects (Don’t send two sixteen-year-old girls to Home Depot by themselves. We don’t know what we are doing.), and countless hours of rehearsal for multiple musicals were made bearable by her fun spirit and humor. She may live in Colorado now, but I know I can always text her for a quick laugh or call her to just talk about life. Hunter, ...thank. -Rebecca
Groomsman
Andrew is proof that you don't have to be related by blood to be brothers. A lot of our time spent together was going out on late night walks and talking for hours. When I texted him I was going on a date with Rebecca his response was "does she know it's a date?". After I told him she asked me out his response was "SHE ASKED YOU OUT????? jsksjxhdhdksisshzh". -Ian
Bridesmaid
One half of our best “couple friends”. Lauren has become one of my greatest friends, and I’m so happy we both have been able to be bridesmaids in each other’s weddings. Lauren is always there to bring a smile to my face with a Baby Yoda meme, or to help me relax after a stressful week with a marathon of terrible movies. It has been such a blessing to live only five minutes from you, and I’m going to be really bummed when y’all move, but don’t worry- we’ll be coming to visit all the time. -Rebecca
Groomsman
Chris is one of the first people to know that I liked Rebecca. He was there when I taught Rebecca how to ski, when she rejected me at Valentine's Day, and the night she asked me to date her. Funny enough, I also taught him how to ski (that is, until his poor knees couldn't take it). Chris still holds the title of my favorite dancer. -Ian
Bridesmaid
I can’t even begin to recount the number of movie nights, game nights, Avatar the Last Airbender marathons, and crazy adventures I’ve gone on with this girl. She is one of the strongest people I’ve ever met, and I’m so proud to have her standing by me. She’s already lived an incredible life in her twenty-two years, and I’m just glad I’ve gotten to be a part of it. The Lord is moving in mighty ways in this young woman. I can’t wait to see where you go next, Mandi Ro. I know it’s going to be beyond amazing. -Rebecca
Candle Lighter
The little girl who made me an aunt! I’m so excited to have my Lily Paige be a part of our wedding. -Rebecca
Candle Lighter
My oldest, sassiest niece. I’m so glad the Lord brought her into our family, and that she gets to be part of our wedding. -Rebecca
Flower Girl
My sweet Abigail! She wasn’t thrilled to find out her aunt was getting married, but she perked up a bit when I asked her if she would throw flowers everywhere for me. -Rebecca
Flower Girl
My youngest niece has a slight obsession with putting blankets on her future uncle’s head (Don’t ask. We don’t know either.), but we hope she will restrain herself during the wedding. -Rebecca
Ring Bearer
My younger, bug and dinosaur-obsessed nephew. Do we trust him to carry our rings? Well, I guess we’ll find out. -Rebecca
Ring Bearer
My super smart and articulate nephew. This boy can handle a conversation better than I can some days. I can't wait to see what type of shenannygins him and Aiden get into. -Ian
Usher
My brother, the Jedi. That’s it. That’s all you need to know. -Rebecca Life support system for mustache. -Ian
Usher
My awesome brother-in-law and the only member of my family who gets quite as excited about football as I do. -Rebecca
Usher
My sweet older nephew who will be our “mini” usher (and our cutest usher). I know everyone is going to want him to be the one to take them to their seats. -Rebecca
