Our People

Amy Johnson

Maid of Honor

My silly & sweet younger sister has surely stepped up to be a thoughtful & supportive maid of honor and I am so thankful for her! She was one of the first to know when Caleb and I started hanging out, and she has been a great supporter of us even despite Caleb's football allegiance.

Zachariah & Hallelujah Hayes

Best Man & Flower Girl

Zach is my amazing older brother. He has always been supportive of me and is there for me when I need him. I look forward to spending my special day with my big brother by my side. Zach's daughter & my niece, Lu, brings all kinds of joy & laughter to the lives of her family & friends. We are excited for her to have a role in this special day!

Jasmine Ames

She's known me since day one, and we shared much of our lives growing up together as cousins. I had the privilege of standing beside her last year as she married Jackson, and I am grateful for both of their friendships!

Nathan Hayes

Groomsman

Nathan is my caring and funny younger brother. He works hard but always makes time for the people in his life. As his big brother I always try to be there for him; I look forward to having him be there for me on my wedding day.

Elena Castillo

My bff for over 10 years, Elena & I met in middle school and stuck with each other through some very formative years. I am so proud of her & thankful that our friendship continues to be a constant in my life.

Mark Jolly

Groomsman

Mark and I were roommates throughout all 4 years of college, and it's hard to put it all into words, but we have always had an interesting relationship. Mark is one of the most caring and thoughtful people I know. He has always supported Gracie and me in his own way.

Anna Read-Cressman

Anna was my very first friend at Wheaton, and it took a little time, but we ended up living together too! We have supported each other through the craziness of wedding planning, and I was honored to stand up for her & Jonathon in August!

Jonathon Read-Cressman

Groomsman

Jonathon was the first person I met at Wheaton. Even though I didn't see it coming he has become one of the best friends I could ask for. I am happy to have been a part of his wedding earlier this fall and now to have him a part of mine.

Sweet Maggie & I have had some wonderful times living together both in Wheaton & Chicago. Our shared passions & interests conquer our math/art differences, and I appreciate her unique perspective. Soon we'll be sharing Chicago as our hometown once again!

Jakob Swan

Jakob was my roommate for 3 years. He is one of the smartest people that I know. He is always ready to have a good time and also get work done. He has been one of the best friends and lab partners that I have had.

Josiah has always been supportive of Grace and me even though I was Grace's first boyfriend. I look forward to becoming his brother and having him stand up for us. We both appreciate his work ethic and his sense of humor, and we're also excited for him to MC at the reception!
