Best Man
Matt is without a doubt my favorite brother. Not only is he my favorite brother, but one could also say that we've been friends for his whole life. Countless Nerf battles, video game tournaments, and brotherly activities have ensued over the years. Matt has been there with me for as long as I can remember, and I am honored to have him as my best man. Fun fact: Matt and I have a yearly tradition of waking up early Christmas morning and playing a game of chess.
Maid of Honor
Hannah and I have had our fair share of fights over our 19 years of living together, but no one has been there for me more than her. Hannah has spent many late nights talking, praying, and crying with me and she constantly points me to Jesus. Hannah is very compassionate and is always looking out for others and she would love to be in the ministry someday. I am thankful to be best friends with my sister and I can not imagine having anyone else as my maid of honor!
Groomsman
More of a brother than a friend, Noah has had a huge impact on my life since we met back in 2003. Among the countless number of backyard baseball games, sleepovers, and jam sessions over the past 17 years, I could not be more thankful for his faithful friendship. Noah is an extremely talented musician/song writer with a burning heart for the Lord. It has been a privilege to grow up with him over the years, and I am honored to have him as a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Megan was one of my roommates my freshman year of college. After I followed her around those first few months, I think she realized that she was stuck with me forever. We had many fun, crazy, and late nights together in the dorms... and I'm pretty sure everyone on our hall was annoyed with us. We have laughed and cried together, and she has been there for me through it all. Megan has a sweet, bubbly personality and she loves others with all she is. Even though we are far apart now, nothing has changed between us and I am thankful to God for giving me Megan as my best friend when I needed her the most. I am honored to have Megan stand up with me!
Groomsman
It is the end of freshman year. Both of us were in desperate need of a roommate. In the beginning of a Calculus 2 class, Jake shouted "Hey, anyone else need a roommate?" Having actually talked to Jake maybe twice before, I quickly looked over and exclaimed, "Hey! I need one!" "JOE! Want to be roommates?" Jake asked. Looking back, this humorous, quick conversation was perhaps the greatest thing that happened to me freshman year. Jake and I have been roommates/unit-mates ever since sophomore year, and without a doubt I can say that he was/is an answer to prayer. Jake's outgoing personality, radiant joy, and Godly personality is a blessing to all that he comes in contact with. I'm honored to have him as a groomsman. Fun Fact: Jake never got below a 9/10 on a Physics quiz
Bridesmaid
Sarah and I met in college as lab partners. We had a few classes together our freshman year, and after our first awkward lunch together we decided to be friends. Sarah and I have had many laughs and QT soda's together. She followed her dreams and is now an awesome first grade teacher. I am thankful for her friendship over these past few years and happy that she is standing up with me!
Groomsman
Riley and I have been roommates for two years. Throughout those two years I have been consistently blessed by Riley's faithful friendship. Riley is without a doubt the largest lover of Taco Bell I know, and he is also a talented guitarist with a love for oldies. It has been a true blessing to have Riley as a roommate, and I am honored to have him as a groomsman.
Bridesmaid
Megan and I grew up together. We've been friends since we were 5 years old. From friends at church, to neighbors, to classmates, and now long distance friends, Megan has been there with me through all of life's ups and downs. Megan's joyful spirit is contagious and she leaves a positive impact on everyone she meets. She is burdened for ministry and is one of the most compassionate and selfless people I know. I am honored to have Megan stand up with me!
Junior Bridesmaid
Mary is my favorite second youngest sister. We have a special relationship as we have similar personalities; she's always ready to shop, clean, and demand justice with me. Mary is outgoing, smart, and an encouragement to me and others. I'm blessed to have such close relationships with my younger sisters.
Junior Bridesmaid
Amy is my favorite youngest sister. She loves drawing, making slime, and wearing bright lipstick. Amy is very creative, caring, and fun to be around. She is always concerned about others and wants the best for them. I'm blessed to have Amy in my life!
