Groom
Bryce met Joy at their church's college group. He then spent the next four months being relentlessly bullied by Jesse and a couple other friends to ask Joy on a date. They spent that first date foam sword fighting, discussing their goals, and being serenaded by a nice old man who thought they were deeply in love.
Bride
It didn't take them long to find out for themselves that they were deeply in love.
Best Man
Christopher is Bryce's brother and best friend. He's always around when we need him for a piece of sage advice and a deck (or 500) of cards.
Maid of Honor
Sarah and Joy grew up in the same church nursery and then re-met in middle school to wreak havoc on the world with their aspiration to write a pirate fantasy novel. Over the past many years, Sarah has been one of the best friends Joy could have ever asked for and we are so excited to get married with her there to support us.
Groomsman
Jesse is one of Joy's older brothers, but also one of our closest friends. He has been there throughout our relationship to offer wisdom, advice, and ENDLESS dad jokes.
Bridesmaid
Amanda is Joy's older sister and one of her besties. She shares of a love of board games with Joy and Bryce and is always the life of any party. We are so grateful for her consistent support and love (and teasing).
Groomsman
Ben is one of Bryce's best friends. They went to high school together and do their best to get together every now and then to play soccer. Ben's smile is contagious and he's always around for a good conversation.
Bridesmaid
Bekky is one of Joy's closest friends and Bryce's sister. Wherever she goes, she emanates organization via Google Docs and caffeine.
Bridesmaid
Joanna is the best little sister we could ever have! She is always there to share a good laugh or join us on our adventures throughout the week.
Flower Girl
Elizabeth is Joy's niece. She is a party and a tornado all-in-one, but her auntie and uncle are so happy to have this amazing little girl in their wedding.
