Amanda & David
Wedding Party
Columbia Trout
Matron of Honor
My "Coubs" changed my diapers and now she's helping me change my last name! She's the reason for my planner obsession and also was the first person to teach me how to apply mascara. I've learned so much of what I know about life because she stuck by my side to walk and laugh with me through it. As my sister and confidante she supported and prayed for my relationship with David from the very beginning (constantly asking when we'd get married already!) so we are over the moon excited to laugh and cry with her by our side!
Blaz' Barton
Best Man
This dude completely changed my life when I got to college a short 3 years ago, and he is forever my greatest comrade, brother, mentor, and friend. He is the most loyal, devoted, and inspirational man on this earth that I know, and I am so privileged to have him stand right next to me as I marry the woman of my dreams.
Haleigh Sullivan
Matron of Honor
Since the days of coloring under a table at women's conferences, this fun & adventurous woman has been my best friend and adopted sister. Growing up together, I was attached to her hip and she never was able to get rid of me. HA! But in all seriousness, I couldn't imagine a stronger, more loyal and sacrificial person to stand by me (her L.E.) as she gains an adopted brother-in-love.
Aaron Steinmeyer
Honorary Best Man
David's little bro is about as friendly, adorable, and lovable as they come, and he's the only one he could have ever asked for. Though he may not stand by David during the ceremony, he will be the biggest champion of his marriage to Amanda (who will, most definitely, become his favorite sibling).
Chasity Williams
Maid of Honor
Y'all, this is my (Amanda's) person. Want someone who is genuinely caring and funny in the same moment? Chasity is it. We have so many goofy memories, happy/sad tears shed, prayers prayed, trips travelled, dances danced, and chocolate covered strawberries eaten. She's the person to go to for lyrics sung completely incorrectly but still so confidently. Chas has the heart of gold and is the sassy sister in Christ that God placed in my life for such times as this!
Aaron Banks
Groomsman
From his goofy Whovian thought patterns to his profound questions and insights of the faith, Aaron is the brother Amanda and David never knew they needed until he showed up. He brings such joy and life everywhere he goes, and his ability to champion the couple in every season with a listening ear or a fun event to decompress from the heaviness of life gives the couple the great honor of calling him groomsmen (not quite Time Lord status, but still...)
Catherine Hurt
Maid of Honor
Bonding over coffee and a love for culture was just the beginning of a beautiful friendship with this lovely sister in Christ. She has been the friend to sharpen me like iron and experience the highs and lows of college life with. Catherine is the most loyal and selfless best friend a woman could ever ask for, and THE person for all the squealing of pure joy and cheesiness in every moment of life, especially our big day.
Nathan Ice
Groomsman
Fire in his eyes, ice in his veins--Nathan has been a huge supporter of David and Amanda in all their pursuits, including convincing them to join the not so occasional shenanigan, making him the perfect groomsman to keep the groom calm on the big day AND bring out his wild side!
Lydia Nusbaum
Bridesmaid
Corny Jokes, American Politics, and the Holy Spirit - most conversations between Lyds and I include one of these things in no particular order. This gorgeous gal has a love for people and their stories, seeing the best in other people, and always having seen the best in me from the moment college (really, Jesus) brought us together. Through lots of valleys in my life, she has been my prayer warrior and solid person with whom I could both laugh and cry. Her passion for enjoying every part of the journey is why she fits perfectly into my marriage journey.
Keenan Hollywood
Groomsman
This man deserves much of the credit for bringing Amanda and David together, already preserving him a spot in the wedding party. Even more importantly, though, he is an amazing brother to the amazing couple through his immense encouragement, his hearty laugh, and his compassionate heart.
Becky Burger
Bridesmaid
Best friends since high school (meeting through FCCLA), Becky and I have had many adventures and have lived through some of the sweetest and hardest seasons of life together. Bee is one of the biggest champions of my life and brings HIGH ENERGY to even the most dull of situations! She's the source of some of my hardest laughs and challenges me in the fashion department (just look at her!!!!) AND exemplifies how to both treasure and photograph the precious moments of life (YAY Portrait mode). It was simply a "duh" decision to have this lovely prayer warrior by my side on my big day!
Sobe Anidobu
Groomsman
Sobe is as genuine and steadfast as they come. His desire to know the lives of both the groom and bride as well as immense kindness in his heart makes them excited and humbled to have him as an irreplaceable wedding party member.
Morgan Kruse
Bridesmaid
"God made us cousins because he knew our mommas couldn't handle us as sisters." I heard this some time ago and every time I think of this sassy, strong-willed, kind, servant-hearted cousin of mine--one of the few people who understands where we came from and who dreams big dreams with me. She's championed my relationship with David since day one and I'm thankful she said yes to helping me stay sane and not trip down the aisle on the big day!
Tanner Morris
Groomsman
The younger of his two older cousins, or "cuz" for short, Tan-Man has been a go-to man for long sports conversations and amazingly terrible jokes. David and he have lived a lot of life together while being cities away, and it only makes sense that a guy, with whom he's played hours of tennis with and been in an awful car accident (almost) on their way to a regrettable film, should be up next to him on the biggest day of his life.
Adrianna Dieckmann
Bridesmaid
This sweet soul is one of most genuine souls you might ever meet. Her heart for ministry and loving on international students brought us close as sisters in Christ. She likes to be goofy and knows how to get creative in having a fun time with friends. She's the leader of an imaginary pep squad that champions the best in people, so of course I couldn't imagine celebrating such a big day without my soul sista! *Insert Hand Picture* ;)
Drew Morris
Groomsman
Firstly, no, that is not David's hand on his shoulder. Secondly, he may look really old for a 25-year old, but this guy has a heart of gold, no matter how much he tries to pick on David every single possible chance he gets. Hopefully, this time, he'll remember that he's a groomsmen (and only the wedding party will know exactly what that means, so don't ask questions). But, it is much more out of love and respect for Drew than it is out of obligation as a family member for why he'll be last in line of the wedding party, but, certainly, not last in importance and greatness.
Benjamin Krewson
Usher
E=mc....something? Ben can set anyone straight on the numerous formulas and has been dubbed "Sheldon Cooper" numerous times. He's a go-to for deep conversation about ANYTHING--from sports to mathematics or physics or even the world of customer service. He also has a big teddy bear heart (he's gonna face palm when he reads this) underneath all the intelligence, so this sister and future brother can't wait to have him a part of the big day!
Christopher Krewson
Usher
Known as "Topher" to us, this dashing young man has a good heart, a goofy mind, and a protective spirit. Even though he's Amanda's youngest brother, he acts wise beyond his years and can play a mean game of Spades or NBA on XBOX. With the amount of "hard times" he gave us as a couple out of the most supportive place in his heart and the belly laughs he gives us frequently, it's a no brainer to have him be a big part of putting the party in wedding party.
Spencer Bone
Usher
Doesn't this guy already look like a stellar politician? He's a truly loyal and steadfast brother and friend, and he will easily set the tone for the wedding day with his awesome smile, kind heart, and warm spirit. Spencer, YOU'RE THE MAN!
Wyatt Darlage
Usher
When you come home every time to find a third human outside of your normal two brothers in the living room, it's only normal to adopt them as a brother in your mind. Amanda can't remember a day without Wyatt being in her life, and he has been a loving, servant-hearted, laughter-inducing addition to the family from the start. We can't wait to see him bring his goofiness and dance moves to the wedding celebration!
Oscar Sullivan
Dog of Honor
The best doggo in the universe, our nephew Oscar is a German Wire-haired Pointer who serves as the service dog for our sister Haleigh. He loves "going to work," couch cuddles, water fountains, walks in the park, bandanas, and anything squishy. Our big day wouldn't be complete without him as an important part!
