Jordan & Blair
Wedding Party
Paige Martindell
Maid of Honor
Paige and Blair go way back. From sister enemies to becoming best friends while at KU, they are now known to be inseparable and the two funnest gals to be around (also contrary to popular belief, they are not twins). Blair and Paige spent the past year living together in Dallas where they spent most of their days petting cats, working out together, eating cookie dough and staying in most weekends in their PJ's. As a full time fitness instructor and graphic designer, Paige is the most driven girl Blair knows and she couldn't imagine her wedding day without her by her side.
Noah Bertholf
Best Man
Noah is Jordan's older brother. When they were young kids, Jordan learned all about baseball by watching his big brother play. They had a normal boy childhood: wrestling, fighting, etc... But over the years, they have grown much closer and have become good friends. Noah is one of the most caring and passionate people in Jordan's life. There is no one that Jordan wants to be his best man more than his big brother Noah.
Taylor Martindell
Maid of Honor
Taylor is the oldest and wisest of the Martindell trio. Blair is very thankful to live close to her sister, as she lives in Kansas City working full-time saving lives as a nurse. Taylor can be described as the mom of the bunch, she cares deeply for others, and loves nothing more than traveling the world with friends and her boyfriend, Ben. Taylor and Blair are six years apart, but bond over their love for nutrition, shopping and their family. She is currently studying to become an NP and can be described as strong, smart and incredibly genuine. Blair cannot wait to have Taylor as her Co-Maid of Honor.
Mark Goodin
Groomsman
Mark and Jordan met back in their sophomore year of college at KU and eventually became roommates. If you need to know anything about Mark, it is this: Mark loves Jesus with his whole heart and is going to follow him wherever he goes. That mindset of Mark has challenged and encouraged Jordan throughout the years of their friendship. The bible says friends should sharpen each other as iron sharpens iron, and that is exactly what Mark and Jordan have done with together the last 3 years. Jordan has been truly blessed with a friend like Mark and is so excited to see how the Lord uses their friendship in the future.
Sydney Nelson
Bridesmaid
Sydney and Blair grew up together in Topeka, KS. Their friendship blossomed early on in high school, where they were the hit of the musical "The Music Man" with their backup dancing roles. Syd and Blair roomed together in Ellsworth dorm freshman year and have been best friends since. Sydney is kind, beyond intelligent, loving and a very faithful friend to Blair. She is currently obtaining her Masters in Accounting at KU and is such a light to this world.
Rane West
Groomsman
Rane is Jordan's closest high school friend. Back when Jordan was a freshman in high school and Rane was a senior in high school, Rane began to mentor Jordan and through their friendship, point Jordan closer to Christ. Rane also introduced Jordan to the Joys and deliciousness of Taco Bell, and for that Jordan will forever be grateful. Now, 8+ years later, Rane and Jordan are still best friends. They are a goofy duo and are always finding ways to have fun... And eat Taco Bell.
Parker Arnold
Bridesmaid
Parker and Blair became best friends in an 8 hour car ride to a camp they served at together after their freshman year of college. Parker has been a very constant friend to Blair through the ups and downs of life. Parker's loving spirit is displayed in her love for kiddos and spends a lot of her time as a Younglife leader where she mentors high school girls. She works as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant for Topeka Public Schools. Parker is one of the most supportive, passionate, silly and coolest humans Blair knows and will change the world someday.
Cody Shrum
Groomsman
When Jordan thinks of a man that he wants to be like, the first person that comes to mind is Cody Shrum. Cody is a loving, caring, and passionate follower of Jesus Christ and has been a man that Jordan has looked up to since high school. Cody and Jordan always laugh together, compete against each other, and love to quote the office together. They also love Benihana's.
Halsey Handley
Bridesmaid
From first grade to graduating college, Halsey and Blair have always remained very close friends. Halsey and Blair experienced many of lives biggest moments together, from braces to Halsey's first minor car wreck (she hit a rock), to now both being engaged. Halsey is bold, smart, can make anyone laugh, and fiercely loves her family and friends. Halsey is off to St. Louis this July where she starts her position as Agricultural Services operational manager at ADM (you got that right, beauty & brains).
Drew Boulton
Groomsman
Wow it is hard to describe Drew. You kind of just have to meet him. But Drew and Jordan have been roommates and best friends since they moved in together 2 years ago. Drew is a goofy, sentimental, loving, caring, Jesus-following man, who has been there for Jordan countless times over the years. Drew would even try to claim that he was the reason that Blair and Jordan ended up together, but you will just have to ask him about that. Life would be so much different without Drew around, and Jordan is so excited to have Drew standing up by him on the big day.
Hannah Madden
Bridesmaid
Blair knew her and Hannah would be best friends the first time they bonded over cupcakes at a cute little bakery in Chicago. When they weren't exploring cute new places & coffee shops in Kansas City, you could find them drinking La Croix and having deep talks about any topic under the sun. Hannah is loyal, intelligent and cares deeply for her friends. She has a serious eye for turning everyday scenes into something breathtaking (check out her insta, @hannahmadden). When she's not studying Marketing & French at KU, you can find Hannah at 1900 Barker or watching memes into the late hours of the night.
Caleb Koilpillai
Groomsman
"It was an emotional wedding, even the cake was in tiers."- Some guy. This pun is just a taste of a life living with Caleb. Easily the funniest and punniest guy Jordan knows, and you can be sure to hear many puns on the day of the wedding. Caleb and Jordan have been close friends for the last 2 years and roommates for the last year. Caleb is a man that in everything he does, he is pursuing the Lord, and has been a constant joy and encouragement to Jordan over his college career. Caleb is full of grace, love, laughter, and puns, and has been a highlight friendship during Jordan's college career, always pointing Jordan closer to Christ.
Jackie Georgoulis
Bridesmaid
Jackie and Blair may have only known each other for a short amount of time, but they might as well be sisters. Jackie has been a constant support for Blair through this crazy, yet amazing season of life and Blair is incredibly thankful for Jackie's heart of pure gold, music taste (Leon Bridges tho) and the way she makes her laugh with one look. Jackie is intentional, kind, wise, and aims to love people like Jesus. We should all be more like Jackie. She is a world changer and Blair is so excited to have her by her side.
Kyle Hines
Groomsman
Kyle is the reason that any guy considers growing his hair out into a man bun. He is just a beautiful dude. But for real, Kyle and Jordan became friends a few years back during Jordan's sophomore year, and has been a consistent source of laughter since then. Kyle loves to destroy Jordan in Super Smash Bro's but Jordan likes to get his revenge in NBA 2K18 because Kyle is trash. Kyle is the most loving, caring, and passionate man that Jordan knows, and has been rooting for Blair and Jordan since day one. We are so thankful that the Lord put Kyle and his wife, Laura, into our lives and are so excited to continue grow closer to Jesus together.
