Sarah & Joel
Wedding Party and More
Jenni Walker
Matron of Honor
Jenni and Sarah met during freshmen orientation at Oral Roberts University (ORU). They were education majors together and became close friends over the years. They always loved going on long walks and doing random things around town with one another. Jenni has been a faithful friend who has always encouraged Sarah in her walk with the Lord.
Sara Briley
Bridesmaid
Sara has been a dear friend of the bride since 4th grade. They have been there for each other through thick and thin. One fun fact is that Sara Briley (soon to be McDaniel) is getting married less than a month before Sarah Kelley (soon to be D'Camp). They are having fun talking all things wedding with one another. :-)
Amy D'Camp
Bridesmaid
Amy is Joel's sister. She lives in Texas where she works as a medical illustrator. We are excited that she is also engaged and preparing to be married to Charles Kirpes in 2021.
Robby D'Camp
Best Man
Robby is Joel's younger brother, and Joel is so happy to have Robby stand with him as his best man in the wedding. Robby's creativity has always helped him to have fun with the groom...sometimes at Joel's expense. As a result, they are not only brothers, but the closest of friends.
Chris Bawden
Groomsman
Chris Bawden has been a childhood friend of the groom since early elementary years. Chris is like family to Joel.
Charles Kirpes
Groomsman
Charles is the fiancé of Joel's sister Amy. They met in college while going to Iowa State University together.
Violet and Gabby Leimer
Flower Girls
Violet and Gabby are the daughters of Jeff and Mary Leimer. Mary lived with Sarah's family a couple of summers while Sarah was growing up and was like the big sister Sarah never had. We are excited to have these two darlings as our flower girls! :-)
Noah Kelley
Ring Bearer
Although this little man needs no introduction, Noah will be the ring bearer. Noah is Sarah's son. Joel plans to adopt him shortly after the wedding. Noah will be 9 years old and in 3rd grade at the time of the wedding. Noah loves swimming, playing video games, and hanging out with his friends.
Becky High
Officiant
Becky is the pastor of Christ Community United Methodist Church in Marion, IA. Becky is working with Sarah and Joel as they complete their pre-marriage counseling. She will officiate the ceremony along with Sarah's dad, Norman Kelley. One fun fact is that our wedding date is Becky and her husband Phil's 42nd wedding anniversary. :-)
