Wedding Party

Evan Hatton

Best Man

My best man! Evan is exactly that... the best. One of the greatest blessings God has given me is my brother Evan. He is trustworthy, humble, and a winner. I really look up to Evan and I'm grateful I'll always be able to call him for advice or just to talk about the NFL Draft and Fantasy Football. Even though I grew up with Evan and we're close, I truly feel honored he is my best man.

Caroline Tophoven

Matron of Honor

Not only is Caroline is my oldest sister, but she is also my first friend. Growing up, I always looked up to Caroline. She has a sense of adventure, creativity, compassion for those in need, and a love for life. Throughout our childhood, we were always twinning. I followed her footsteps with all her fashion trends, her hobbies, I followed her to college, and now I'm getting married nearly one year after her! God works in funny ways.

Ben Hatton

Groomsman

What a great brother! Ben is smart, funny, and respected. He has greatly influenced me and I am honored he is my brother. There are things I laugh at, and I know Ben is the only one else who would just as hard at me. I am excited to see how God uses Ben in the future, and I am lucky I get to be in his life!

Natalie Cummings

Maid of Honor

Though I am seven years older than Natalie, we've always had a bond, and I feel like we've been best friends right from the start. Natalie is probably the most caring and joyful person I have ever met. In the past few years, my family has had to move around a lot Natalie had to sacrifice much. Despite this, she has kept the sweetest smile on her face and a thankful heart. She is an inspiration to me, and I'm so grateful she's my sister!

Nate Hatton

Groomsman

I am honored to be Nate's brother. Nate is the life of the party, very smart, and he loves Jesus. Nate has great character... he is someone who takes his faith seriously and that has led me to do my best to follow his example of what a Christian should look like. He's been a devoted big brother to me. Nate has told me he views me not only as a brother, but as a friend, and I can easily express the same to him.

Lea Parette

Bridesmaid

Lea Victoria Parette. We met when I was six, and she was four in our small village in China. We immediately became best friends, and since then, we have been inseparable. Growing up, we did everything together, from rollerblading through all the alleys of our village to making rafts that never quite withstood the China Sea waves and flying paper airplanes off of our school that stood on the 18th floor. Though we have had a long-distance friendship for quite some time now, I thank God that our friendship has lasted for so long. Lea is loyal, considerate, loving, funny, and life is more adventurous with her in it!

Max Hofmeister

Groomsman

How can I write a description of Max and my friendship in only 800 characters? He has truly been like another brother to me. Max is my best friend... in fact, he's helped define what friendship looks like to me. He is smart, trustworthy, very funny, loyal, and has good character. Not only do we have a lot of memories together, but the ones we do are all some of the best memories of my life. I admire his relationship with Ellie, and his family has been so supportive toward me. Max and I have joked that we hope to live in the same Senior Center when we're 80+, and that is still the truth! Honored he can be my groomsman.

Vinnea Otero

Bridesmaid

James Cummings

Groomsman

I was excited when Jacqueline told me she had a brother, and I got very excited when I heard he ran track at Wheaton College, the school I watched Nate run at as a little kid. In the short while I've known James, he is easy-going, a good boyfriend to Emma, and has been a trusting and loyal brother to Jacqueline. I'm excited to get to know James more in our lifetime!

Lindsey Woughter

Bridesmaid

Noah Howbert

Groomsman

If you rounded up my favorite memories at Liberty, Noah would be in a lot of them. Noah is the man. Noah and I have a unique ability to go deep and be honest with one another, while also being able to laugh at anything. He has a great sense of humor, is so fun to be with, and has been an absolute blessing from God. I am so thankful for the memories we've had (Florida trip, movie nights, intramural team, beach volleyball, foosball games, Tuesday night Chilis, watching Seinfeld), and I praise God he gave me Noah as a friend.

Savannah Dover

Bridesmaid

Garrett Couchenour

Groomsman

Garrett! I met Garrett when I was at work, and a week later I learned he not only was in my building, but I was his CGL (Community Group Leader). Since then Garrett has become one of my best friends. We get lunch and play racquetball every week, both love laughing with one another and if I ever want to do a fun activity, he's the first one I call. Truly grateful for Garrett and our friendship!
