Megan & Joshua
Wedding Party
Jenna Steuerwald
Maid of Honor - Sister of the Bride
Jenna has been my best friend since birth. I'm blessed to have a sister that also doubles as my best friend. She is my role model and my biggest fan. I would not be where I am without her speaking truth and loving me through every stage of my life. She really is the coolest sister anyone could ever have.
Courtney Steuerwald
Bridesmaid - Cousin of the Bride
Courtney Mae is more like a sister to me. She was there for me and Josh during the whole process of us getting together. She was my adventure buddy during college, my shoulder to cry on, and my person to laugh with. She is the most loyal person that I know and is always on my side.
Kristina Curtis
Bridesmaid - Friend of the Bride
Kristina is one of my best friends from college. It's amazing how God brings people into your life that you need at the right time. We went through some hard experiences together during college, and also some pretty fun and adventurous ones. She was my constant encourager and motivator. She always pointed me to Christ and I couldn't have done those years without her.
Annika Leffew
Bridesmaid - Friend of the Bride
We were roommates my second year of college and let's just say God knew that I needed an Annika in my life. People mistake us as twins because of how similar we are. She was intentional with our friendship since the beginning and I miss our late nights of deep conversations and mac and cheese. She helped Josh plan our engagement and was there to photograph our special moment.
Angel Copeland
Bridesmaid - Friend of the Bride
We met in 8th grade and have been best friends ever since. She is a giver, encourager, and brings laughter anywhere she goes. Angel, Savannah, and I were considered the three musketeers in highschool and you could say we still are even though we live a couple hundred miles apart.
Savannah Byrd
Bridesmaid - Friend of the Bride
Savannah is the other half of our high school trio, and may I say that the party never starts until she arrives ;) We also met in 8th grade and although she hated me at first, we soon became the best of friends. Some of the biggest memories I have with Vannie is laughing uncontrollably. I'd say that's a pretty good friendship.
Katelyn Hockema
Bridesmaid - Sister of the Groom
We met while we both worked at MBU. I like to say we were friends before me and Josh started dating;) We went through quarantine together when Covid-19 happened and she made it fun and adventurous. If you quarantine together, you really are friends forever, and I'm pretty blessed to gain her as a sister.
Alyssa Rickerd
Bridesmaid - Sister of the Groom
Alyssa is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. While visiting Josh during our year of long distance, I got to spend a lot of time with her and her pretty cute kiddos ;) I’m so excited to call her sister!
Caleb Hockema
Best Man - Brother of the Groom
Caleb defines the phrase, "The Best Man". He is my older brother and role model. We played sports together, enjoyed the fun and emotional parts of life, and he is the closest and best friend I could ever ask for! No one has been there for me like he has. I love him so much! Cheers to many more joyous moments in life together!
Austin DeAngelo
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Austin is one of my best friends. We met first on the soccer team, which opened up and grew an amazing friendship. He lives in North Carolina, so we try to take advantage of living only a couple hours from each other! He is enthusiastic, adventurous, loving, and is always down for a good time.
Jack Risma
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Jack, also known as J, also known as the tallest Risma, also known as "a nerd", is one of the most intriguing people you'll ever meet. One second he'll be laughing with you, next second he'll be making fun of you, while every second knowing that he loves you (feelings are mutual). Jack and I share a lot of amazing memories, but most involve being on the soccer team and spending many a long hours working college athletic games. We've had so many good times together and I'm excited to have more of them in the future!
Kevin Risma
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Kevin is one of the most tenderhearted, compassionate, wise, God-honoring people I've ever met. He always encourages those around him to do great things, and give wise counsel to those who need it! We enjoyed playing soccer together at Maranatha, where I saw him on and off the pitch encourage and inspire those around him to pursue excellence on a daily basis. He is an amazing guide and I am so thankful to call him my friend. Oh... Kev is also very passionate about Colorado.
Timothy York
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Tim is loyal, kind, funny, and compassionate. Whenever you're with Tim, he does everything in his power to help you have a good time! Whenever there were rough days in college, Tim and I would go on late night drives to talk them out. Among many things, he taught me how to do different styles of cooking, usually revolving around Korean type food. Tim has always been there for me, the good and the bad, and I am very grateful for his amazing friendship.
Nathan Campbell
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
I am not sure of a person who is more opposite of me than Campbell. But I'm also not sure of a person who is as frankly honest, deeply loving, and genuinely passionate about his friends more than Campbell. I could just sum it up by saying our key phrase, "we need to talk", but I don't want to. T-Bell runs, late night talks, going to his house, soccer, road trips, movie nights, and many more all remind me of the amazing deep talks and laughs we had together. Campbell is not just a friend, I see him as a brother.
Brendan Burckart
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Brendan, mainly known as BB, was the reason I went to Maranatha. When I was visiting, he stayed up until 2am talking and getting to know me, even though he had a test the next day and was battling sickness. That one sentence describes BB. He is always willing to put himself down, to reach out and be a light, even when it pushes his own agenda out of the way. He truly cares about those around him, and loves every second of the quality time together. I am inspired by him and his dedication to his friends! I am so excited to have him stand with me on my special day!
Asa St. Lawrence
Groomsman - Friend of the Groom
Asa is one of the brightest spirited people I've ever met. I had the privilege of playing soccer with him at Maranatha. He is always looking to get better, whether on the field or off, while also lifting others around him up so they can grow as well. I am so thankful for his joyous friendship in my life.
