Best Man
"You, sit there", some of the first words shared between us after I met Christina... granted it was the same day in one of the breakout sessions and the last open seat was next to Christina. This prayer warrior has been in my corner, encouraging, affirming, reassuring, and all around being a voice of reason when I would doubt or falter. He has been a constant friend, ready to help at the drop of a hat with anything he could help with. There is a reason he is the right hand man.
Maid of Honor
Abby and I have been friends for over 15 years. Despite her being a world traveler, we have remained in contact over the many, many years even in different time zones. Whether she calls me at 1:00 in the morning or I'm calling her late at night, she has always been there for me in all of the ups and downs in life. I'm so excited to share this mountain top with her.
Groomsman
My brother, in blood and in action. For 33 years, we have walked through life together. Whether in high points or in valleys, he has my back. I love him and am honored he would support me in this special day of my life.
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is my big sister, and she has seen the many highs and lows of my life. She is currently going through nursing school, and I couldn't be a prouder little sister. She is so excited for me that God has brought me an amazing man I get to spend the rest of my life with. I am so blessed that she will be a part of my wedding to the man God has blessed me with.
Groomsman
"'And I said... No.' - Jordan Peterson", a common phrase between us. In fun times, hard times, growth and tragedy, you can always Jordan Peterson no. Thomas has been a brother in arms with me for many years. I have had long conversations with him that led both of us to growth and wisdom. I am blessed by his wisdom and support.
Bridesmaid
I met Abbie when I was around 15 years old at church, we were "wall flowers" together and we have been friends ever since. We went on a mission trip in high school together and she helped me keep a calm head when we almost missed our flight. I was so blessed to be in her wedding, and I'm so blessed that she will be in mine.
Groomsman
A true scholar, apologist, innovator and all around blessing of a friend. Whether it is working on the latest musical track or a lively discussion of biblical truths, it's not a matter of do we want to discuss it but how long do we have. There have been many nights sitting at the dining room table with cups of tea exploring revealed truths and what that means in our lives. A brother who has encouraged me to step out of my shell in so many ways.
Bridesmaid
"Palza!" "Osborne!" "Palza!" "Osborne!" One of our ways of communication when we go shopping together, which will soon be changed to "Knowles". I have known Marlee for over 10 years now and we have gone on many adventures together. I am so excited for her to share this new adventure with me.
Groomsman
It hasn't been long that I have known Ryan but in that small amount of time he has been a true friend. He is always there to help if you need anything. We serve together in our churches student ministry and he has been working with the middle school guys for quite some time. I am grateful for our friendship and glad he can stand along side us on this day.
Bridesmaid
I met Darylyn through my wonderful fiancé. Even though we haven't known each other for very long, we have connected instantly. She has been so sweet and wonderful, and I'm so grateful she will be a part of our wedding.
