Kathleen & Daniel
Wedding Party
Anni Martin
Maid of Honor
Anni is my younger sister but really she is my best friend. Although Anni is two years younger than I am, I look up to her in countless ways. I admire Anni's boldness, free spirit, helping hand, and most of all her heart. She has the most pure and selfless heart of anyone I have ever met. She loves me unconditionally and has always been my biggest cheerleader. She makes everyone feel heard and loved, and goes out of her way to make every person in the room feel special. She is the greatest gift to me and to all who know her. She is single btw.
Landrum Barnes
Bridesmaid
I have for babysat Landrum and her twin brother for the past five summers, but Landrum has become family to me. My favorite memory with Landrum: My trip out West with Landrum is one of my most cherished memories. #YellowStoneForever But I have loved my summer days with her at the pool and beach, and binge watching cheer and say yes to the dress. She has made my life so much more fun the past 6 years! Landrum has kept me laughing, young, and in touch with pop culture (she showed me tiktok 6 months before anyone my age even heard about it). Thankful for the second little sister I have in her!
Allison Meeder
Bridesmaid
I became friends with Allison in middle school, we remained friends in high school, but in college she became my best friend. We have served alongside of one another, become roommates, and are rarely apart. By far the most underrated person I have ever met. Allison has added so much joy, wisdom, and straight up a good time to my life. She listens and sits quietly, but when she speaks it comes from a place of sincerity and grace. She is shy and kind at first, but then you get to know her and realize she is even more kind than you initially thought. My favorites memories from college have Allison in them and I am so thankful she is my person. She has been the "Best" best friend I have ever heard. Also my goal in life is for us to live in the same town forever.
Caroline Graves
Bridesmaid
Caroline and I met through our older siblings over 10 years ago, and she has been one of my most faithful and consistent friends throughout the last decade. Caroline is my friend who thinks like me and just straight up understands me. People probably honestly do not enjoy being around us together, because we end up talking about psychology, mental health, analyzing something, or start our conversation with "remember when. . .". We have both learned so much from each other. We have also just experienced a lot of life together - the good and real bad we have been through it all together. We have been a constant for each other in the really lows and rejoiced together in the highs of our lives. Caroline is by far my strongest and most resilient friend and I admire her so much for that.
Chloe Thomas
Bridesmaid
My favorite story with Chloe: The story of how we met. Chloe and I were in middle school and went on date with two guy friends, but we had never met. We hit it off on that cinemark movie date, and needless to say the boys did not last but I am thankful this friendship did! Chloe and I have been friends since our first double date, but really owe the root of our friendship to HHi YL where we experienced some of my most cherished high school memories. YL in college brought Chloe and Dan onto the same YL team, and I have rejoiced over watching two of the people I love most in this world serve the Lord alongside of each other! Chloe is my friend that pushes me to be bold, installs truths to me, and loves me so incredibly well.
Angel Glover
Bridesmaid
Angel is my oldest friend, dating all the way back to our homeschool days. We have not lived in the same place in eight years, so most of our memories are embarrassing, because they are a reflection of decisions middle schools made in the early 00's. We made a music video to "Check Yes Juliet", had a photoshoot together in her driveway, wrote all the lines of Elf on each other's Facebook wall for 7 years in a row, and made green bean casseroles as snacks to take the pool in the summer. We have lived through every stage of life together and have supported each other no matter the miles, and I am so grateful for the friendship I have in Angel. She is my friend who I know would be there for me at anytime, and is always a phone call away.
David Fant Sr.
Best Man
My Dad has been the most influential person in my life. Since I was a child and to this day my dad has never stopped pointing me towards doing right and pointing me towards Christ. He has shown me exactly what it looks like to be a great and effective father, an honest and hard worker, and a strong Christian man. I was lucky to have a dad that would prioritize spending time and investing in me more than working or social life and I hope that one day my kids will say the same of me.
David Fant Jr.
Groomsman
David and I grew up and have countless memories on the farm skiing, riding four wheelers, and shooting guns together. We fought constantly like good brothers do, and still get into heated arguments to this day. Now when I have any life updates or questions about the next stage of life, David is the first person I call. He has been an incredible influence and role model for me as I am entering this next stage of life and I could not be more thankful. David and his wife, Allie, have been such great friends throughout our dating relationship and I know will be lifelong friends of ours.
Alex Martin
Groomsman
Most of my life I was known as Alex's little sister, which was partially annoying, but more than anything it was an honor. I have looked up to Alex more than anyone else in my life. Alex is very confident, intelligent, passionate (mostly about sports), and he works harder than most people I know. But my favorite thing about Alex is how good of a brother he was to little sisters - he tried to be interested in what Anni and I were into growing up. And when he wasn't he always found a common ground; from classic rock and roll, watching the office, holiday traditions, and forcing us to watch star wars. As a brother Alex has loved and protected Anni and I throughout our lives, and I am really grateful to have him as my brother. Alex is best dressed, but I am the best athlete in the family.
Fletcher Roberts
Groomsman
Meeting in preschool and living together all four years of college has given Fletcher and I a bond like brothers. Growing up we shared many mutual friends and regularly went hunting and fishing together despite Fletcher not having Costa’s. We’ve talked to the girl at the same time, gotten into hour long arguments over our cars, and almost died fishing during a thunderstorm, and despite it all are still like brothers. Fletcher has welcomed Kate with open arms and has played a huge role in our relationship.
Matthew Bair
Groomsman
Matthew and I met on a cruise ship two years before we were put into our first (and last) class together in the third grade where our friendship started. Since then, we have made many memories at the beach, my family farm, random mud holes, and the QuikTrip parking lot. Matthew has always been a friend who would push me outside of my comfort zone and I am a much more confident person for it. Matthew has shown so much love to Kate and I before he even met her, and we are so grateful for his friendship to us.
William Gray
Groomsman
William and I have one of the most unique relationships. Despite us being different in many ways he has been one of the easiest people to get to know and maintain a relationship with. I don’t know anyone else that I have as much fun with doing the most random things. He has always been a go to friend of mine, and I have no problem talking about real life with him. He has continuously kept up with me, and also asks about my relationship with Kate. He has been a huge support to us, and I know he will always be there for us.
