Wedding Party
Abbie Brown
Matron of Honor
Abbie has been my best friend for over eight years (and counting!). She is the sister I never had, and she showed me what love looks like and feels like. Abbie is the wild to my calm and can always bring me outside my comfort zone. She is all things good and has always been a constant light in my life, a true blessing from God. I would not be the person I am today without my Abbie!
Matthew DeYoung
Best Man
I met Matthew when I first moved to Illinois over six years ago. He helped me feel at home there and quickly became my best friend. We would spend every day together finding some type of activity to do. His ability to bring laughter and joy to any situation, combined with his genuineness and caring nature, are some of the reasons why I chose him as my best man. He is also the reason for Kaitlyn and I becoming friends, thank you brother.
Lucy Jalil
Bridesmaid
I first met Lucy two years ago, but she didn't become my best friend until last year when we worked together. She helped me realize what true friendship should look like and taught me how to be a good friend. Everything with Lucy is easy, comfortable, and full of life. Her friendship is an answer to a prayer I've been praying for a long time. I don't know where I'd be without my sweet Lucy around!
Nate Foor
Groomsman
Nate has also been a very close friend since I first moved to Illinois. He has always been there for me, a steadfast beacon of positivity and encouragement. We share many memories of us finding ways to have fun and be active. Nate's friendship has enriched my life in countless ways. I am blessed to have Nate in my life and for him to stand with me.
Raegan Zelaya
Bridesmaid
Raegan has been a huge part of my life since I was in 8th grade (pre-Foster) and has been a constant support since then. She has seen me through some wild times, and yet still chose to stick around (it must run in the family)! I couldn't have made it through my high school years if it wasn't for Raegan's wisdom and encouragement in my life. She was, and still is, by far the best role model a girl could ask for.
Montana Suits
Groomsman
Montana was one of my first true friends growing up. We spent many years going to church events together creating numerous memories. I have a lot of respect for him and have always looked up to him. Montana has this ability to get me out of my comfort zone and to be more out-going. I am grateful for his presence in my life and I am blessed for his genuine friendship and the positive influence he brings.
Anna Hammes
Bridesmaid
My Anna!!! She was my first true friend in high school and one of the only people who could keep me sane. We met at freshman year badminton tryouts and we (almost) instantly became friends. She is one of the funniest, most genuine, and truest friends I've ever known. My sweet Anna Hams has the biggest heart in the world, and to know her is to love her. Having the privilege of being Anna's friend has been the biggest blessing in my life and a true gift from God.
Brady Cooper
Groomsman
I met Brady (Cooper) just this past year when we went through basic training for the Air Force together. In those two long months we spent pretty literally 24/7 together and we became very close with our shared experiences and the challenges we faced together. I am grateful for Cooper’s genuine friendship and for the memories we have together and for more to come.
