Josiah & Shelley
Wedding Party
Crystal Conrad
Maid of Honor
Crystal hated me when I was born, but slowly came around when she realized I'm definitely the coolest person in the family. She's is my partner in Disneyland crime, my fellow California Traffic hater, and an amazing role model. I have always looked up to her in so many ways to the point where a lot of myself; both internally and externally, is directly stolen from her- the best aunt a girl could ask for.
Kota Young
Best Man
Kota has been my best friend since high school and there's good reason for it. He was the only other guy I knew who was trying to carve out a life for himself that he truly wanted to live. A real dream chaser. Kota is a loyal friend who has seen it all, and he is a powerful creative that continues to inspire me. Kota is a big part of who I am today and I am extremely grateful for that.
Mikala Butler
Bridesmaid
Mikala is one of- if not the only- person who has kept me sane while dating Josiah. There is no one I know closer to my situation in life, and I am so blessed to have such a beautiful, strong, and godly woman I can encourage and be encouraged by throughout our crazy lives and relationships. Hopefully our pod of 4 sticks together until we are angry and wrinkly.
Daniel Butler
Groomsman
Daniel is a true brother in Christ and someone I can trust with just about anything. I rely on him to call me to a higher life of character and leadership. Over the past couple years he has been a key part of the things I am most proud of. Daniel acts as my bumpers and is one of the reasons Shelley keeps me around.
Skylar Hatfield
Bridesmaid
Skylar is my favorite birthday present (3rd birthday to be exact). She has always been more of a cousin than a friend, and she has always been there to give encouragement and advice through all my prayers and praises. We have watched each other grow up and evolve, and I am so proud of the young woman she has become, and pray for the best for her in all of her life adventures.
Matt Vail
Groomsman
Matt is the only guy I know that is crazier than me. He is the kind of friend that stokes the fire for better or for worst. He has been in the trenches with me through the worst falls and the greatest redemptions. A true friend that will tell it to you straight and call you out when you are blinded by your ego, Matt keeps you on your toes and is always pushing forward.
Allison Phillipy
Bridesmaid
One time I met Allie at the Denver airport for a layover she had, and she gave me a piece of toast in an envelope. One of the biggest goofballs I have ever had the privilege of laughing until I pee with. The amount of joy, adventure, and drive this woman has in her is astounding, and I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for her. The Baby Queen to my Bread Queen.
David Grisham
Groomsman
David renewed my hope in friendship. Though we are very different people on the outside, our hearts beat the same. Our converstions are so laden with history that we no longer talk about our motivations or background happenings. Each meeting ends with a very certain "to be continued". David has been available to talk until there is nothing left to say since I have known him and it has helped me discover who I am and what I hope to be.
Devyn Bennett
Bridesmaid
Although Dev and I sang together in our church's middle school choir, we didn't become true friends until the tail-end of high school. All it took was a few good summers, a handful of awkward gym visits, and a million laughs to solidify our friendship. Devyn is one of the most kind hearted, humble, and generous people I know. She lights up every room she walks into, and is such a wonderful woman of God to have around.
Dillon Crader
Groomsman
Everybody that knows Dillon loves him, but I mean it when I say I love him most. Dillon has been there through all of it and I couldn't have asked for a better companion. He is more of a brother than a friend, and there is no one else that can make me feel more at home. Dillon was there when it started and will be there when it ends.
