Jared + Emily
Wedding Party
Jordan Hunt
Best Man
No, he is not my twin/dad/boyfriend (yes, all of those have been asked, with one being not-so-subtly implied by a Buffalo Wild Wings server). He is, however, my older brother. If there is food to be cooked, facts to be known, dinosaurs to tame, or frozen camping trips to survive, Jordan is the one who can do it. We've drawn closer to one another over the past 5 years or so over our love of sushi, deep conversations, and fear of Russian horses. Remember that one time we decided to go camping during an ice storm? Hi ho, Silver
Reagan Martin
Maid of Honor
My Regs. There is truly no one like her. She has been in my life since the day I got in church. She is my adventure and travel partner. There is no amount of distance that could weaken our friendship. I love how we can pick up right where we left off. It does not matter the season of life that each of us are in, nothing changes between us. No one quite gets me like Regs. We have been planning this day for years and I cannot wait to have her by my side!
Josh Hunt
Best Man
He's a video game companion who likes to make weird happy noises, an entrepreneur who is able to do whatever he sets his mind to, and my younger brother. Josh likes to experiment with new things and forge his own path. Carpentry, video editing, photography, sneaker detailing, Halo, or haircuts, he can do it all. He's a fan of looking good, so this wedding will suit him nicely. Remember what happened to our hotel room at MOYC 2013? Running Riot
Mary Beth Wright
Maid of Honor
My forever friend. I cannot believe that the first time we met we ended up hanging out in my dorm room until 2:30 am. I am so thankful how close we grew from then on. I love our 4+ hour phone calls. Time together is not as frequent as we would like, but I cherish them nonetheless! Thank you for all of the prayers, love, and support in all of the hard times that I faced while at Urshan. When I met you I prayed that I would stay in St. Louis, partially so we could live near one another. I cannot wait to have you by my side on this big day!
Zach Fiorini
Groomsman
The man. Zach is able to do almost anything but is truly gifted at being a true friend. Throughout the years we've shared a lot of miles, Youth Retreats, paintballs, cutlery, and laughs. He is one of my best friends and has been reliable through thick and thin. One of the greatest things about Zach is that he makes anyone feel like the star of the show, but even better is his Christian example of compassion, humility, and integrity. Remember that one time I lost a board game because of you? Hey dude
Sarah Garcia
Bridesmaid
My Sarah Faye. Almost 4 years before we met, I was in a prayer meeting. We were given cards of Missionary Kids to pray over. God knew that when I was given the card with your name and face, that we would one day meet. I prayed for you and then we ended up praying together in the mornings in the chapel. You have been such an example. Not only that, but you've been such a true blue friend. You always look out for me and you want the best for me. YOU were even the one who brought up how Jared would be an amazing man for my life. Here we are. Being a part of your day was so special and I cannot wait to have you in mine!
Caleb Curry
Groomsman
Caleb and I bonded over our mutual love of all things video games. After finding out he was a decent teammate, I found out that he was an even better friend. He's the kind of guy that, no matter how much time has passed, I can always pick up a conversation with like we had never been apart. Caleb is one of my friends that I've been able to witness grow into an adult throughout the course of our friendship, and I'm excited to see that friendship continue to develop. Remember that time you almost got us arrested in a candy store? Masks on
Mo Troxell
Bridesmaid
My Mo. I cannot pinpoint the moment when we became friends, but I love that. Our friendship basically grew overnight. I never knew I could relate to someone so well. Our lives are very different, yet so similar. I claim you as my own sister and I truly feel as though we are. You have been one of the only friends that have made an effort to come see me while in St. Louis. You have no idea how special that has been for me. It is crazy how we can barley say anything or give a certain look and we know exactly what each other means! I cannot wait to have you with me on my most special day!
Ryan Moore
Groomsman
Ryan became an official part of our family in November of 2015 when he married my sister, Larissa. In reality, it feels like he joined our family way before then, as most of us were rooting for the two of them to date. Ryan is a man of integrity, respect, knowledge (and lots of it), and an older brother. I'm thankful to have him as a mentor and teacher in my life, and glad to have him as a part of my party. Remember that first time we all went to Buffalo Wild Wings? May waker
Larissa Moore
Bridesmaid
My Luhhrizza. You have NO idea how excited I am to have you as my Sister-in-Law! The moment I met you I knew that we would get along great! This is an answered prayer for sure! We have so much in common and we truly understand one another. I love hanging out with you and talking with you. I am so blessed to have you as an example in my life and to have you as such a close friend as well. Jared brags on you so much on how great of a sister you have been to him. You give great advice and you always tell me the truth, even if it is difficult. I cannot wait to have you so close by during this new chapter of my life! I am so excited to have you by my side on Jared and I's day!
Tyler Cummings
Groomsman
Looking back, it's pretty safe to say that Tyler is my oldest friend. Since moving to St. Louis in 2000, it seems like our families have been connected. We've spent many, many hours on youth outings, going out to eat, playing Age of Empires 2, and just having fun. I'm thankful to have a friend who is also my youth pastor and a great mentor. He's someone I look up to, and someone I know I can always rely on. Remember the S-Files, that children's Christmas play we were in together? Javajavajavajavajavajava
Aly Russell
Bridesmaid
My Aly. The moment you started dating my bubby I was SO excited. You are truly the perfect match for him. I love how much you make me laugh. We get along so well and you have no idea how happy that makes me! I hate that I don't live close to you because I know we would hang out often! When I am in town, I truly treasure those moments with you. I loved getting to know you more and now we are officially family! We have so much in common and I don't think that is coincidental! I was so honored and excited to be in your wedding and I cannot wait to have you apart of mine!
