Kelsie & Jonathan
Wedding Party
Rose Walker
Matron of Honor
Note from Bride: I still remember one of the first times I hung out with Rose when Kyle (my brother) and she were dating. I was poking fun at Kyle as sisters usually do, but this time I had an accomplice. I knew from that day, that Rose and I were going to be great friends and of course, I would always have someone to gang up on Kyle with. Throughout the years of knowing Rose, I have found she embodies everything I hope to be. She is a woman of faith, she is loyal to her family, is selfless as a wife, and an amazing mother. She is one of the hardest working individuals I know, with a heart of gold and I am excited to have her by my side to guide me in taking this big step in my life!
Christopher Shafer
Best Man
Note from Groom: A brother is an irreplaceable bond. Although I was always that annoying little brother, Christopher always looked out for me and has been my protector from day 1. Now as adults we've turned that sibling bond into a friendship I'm forever grateful for, but I know he is and will always be my protector. I couldn't imagine this day without my big brother by my side.
Bryn Cole
Bridesmaid
Note from Bride: I think if you swim enough 1,000s together, you can't help but become besties! From experiencing SIU on our recruiting trip, to dorm roommates, to teammates, to a lifelong friend. This girl has seen every side of me, my ups, my downs, my successes, my failures, as we navigated college life together. We are now in the next phase of life, new jobs, new cities, marriage, and we are still navigating it together. I am so excited for her to stand by my side with me on my big day!
Camron McQueen
Best Man
Note from Groom: I never knew when I sat at a new table for lunch in high school I'd meet one of the best men I know. From high school days to now, Camron has always shown up for me whether it's talking sports, or life to helping me plan my proposal. This day wouldn't be the same without my guy next to me!
Alex Menendez
Bridesmaid
Note from Bride: Who knew a silly little homework group in the first semester of PT school, would bring me a carpool buddy and a best friend. This fun loving, laid back queen has brought the energy and positivity to every situation. I truly have her to thank for my sanity remaining somewhat intact through this crazy journey called accelerated PT school. Motivational speeches, pre-final jam sessions and of course car talks have taught me Alex will always be one of my biggest supporters not just through PT school, but through life. I can't wait to have her by my side on this special day!
Colin Johnston
Groomsman
Note from Groom: Friends since the 3rd grade. One can only imagine the adventures and stories we have to share! I know how rare it is to have a childhood friendship last and I am incredibly grateful to have grown up with Colin and still call him one of my best friends. I couldn't imagine taking this next step without him by my side.
Lily Tarvin
Bridesmaid
Note from Bride: Picture this, we're standing over cadavers for our anatomy lab on the first day of our first lab immersion in PT school, and I ask the girl across from me if she'd want to sit with me for lunch. Lucky for me she said yes and that's how I met this amazing human. Lily has been the calm to my madness. It is true when they say, there will never be anyone else who fully understands exactly what you're going through than those that go through it with you. I am so glad I am going through school and life with this girl by my side!
Chris Anderson
Groomsman
Note from Groom: From high school football to roommates senior year of college to now working life and marriage. Chris and I have entered many new phases in life together and have memories to last us a lifetime! I wouldn't have it any other way than to have him next to me on this big day!
