Wedding Party
Kira Hayes
Maid of Honor
Hiya! My name is Kira, and I am so excited to get to support Laura on her special day! I first met Laura during my freshman year at UW! Laura and I weren't close right off the bat, but as we hung out more, I saw how genuine and kind she was and knew she would be such a sweet friend. I've had the honor of being her roommate for the past two years, and she's become like a sister to me since! There aren't enough words to explain how thankful I am for this girl and our friendship! It's been such a blessing to get to watch her and Luke grow closer to the Lord through their time at college. Their love for Him is so evident in their daily lives, and they have become the sweetest example to me and so many others. I could not be more excited to celebrate them on their special day, and I can't wait to see where the Lord takes them in the future!

I first met Luke around the second or third week of our freshman year at Campus Ventures. Luke, Ben, Zach, and I quickly became close friends as we formed our group of guy friends called the "Sons of Thunder." Over the last four years or so, Luke and I gradually grew closer and closer as we progressed through CV, extracurricular activities, and even working a summer job together. I've had the pleasure of many conversations with Luke about faith and life, where he continually pushed me to grow closer to Christ. He's one of the best men I know, as he leads by example and is a loyal friend to me and everyone else. It's been an honor to see how he has grown in the Lord and has become the man he is today, and the man I know he will continue to be as he leads his marriage with Laura. Love this guy in so many ways and can't wait to see where the Lord takes him!

My name is Kenzie Goldware, and I get the joy of getting to be friends with Laura!! We met our freshman year through a freshman Bible study, and I am just so grateful for her relational heart. It's also fun that our boys are such good friends, so that we can do double dates forever, hehe. I'm so glad you and Luke met that same year. I remember giggling about you guys dancing together for the first time!!
Ben Goldware
Best Man
I met Luke before our freshman year of college together at UW. We were freshman roommates. We went through many highs and lows together, supporting each other through them all. Luke and I have had a lot of good memories together over the past 5 years and I'm excited to make another one on the day of his wedding! I'm so excited to see Luke and Laura grow together through marriage!

Luke is the best big brother! After school, he would always play with us and show us cool stuff. I'm excited to have a sister-in-law, and Laura is the perfect match for Luke. I love them both!
Junior Easton

Luke is the best older brother ever! He teaches me cool things, and he is always up for playing with me. He also shared his Legos with me. I sure like Laura, too, and can't wait to have her in our family!

I met Laura my freshman year, and we became friends! We are now roommates of two years, and it has been a joy growing with her through college! Her kindness and love for people and the Lord are infectious! I've been able to see Laure and Luke grow in their love over the years, and even had the joy of third wheeling to swing dancing a few times (tehe)! I cannot wait to witness this marriage to her on their beautiful day!

I first met Luke in a broken-down elevator in White Hall as a freshman at the University of Wyoming, & from there, we became friends through Campus Ventures & a close group of freshman guys. His family moved to my hometown, & we hung out more & more throughout our time in Laramie. We eventually became roommates during his senior year. we experienced so much of college together - fishing, hiking, hunting, & even working a summer at a dude ranch - & he was not just one of my best friends, but someone who walked with me during a key time of learning & maturing in my faith. He has been my wingman time & time again, on road trips & outdoor excursions to late-night walks to Maverik. Throughout college, I've gotten to know Laura through seeing how she has blessed Luke's life. One day Luke is telling me about this new girl he likes to dance with, to sitting next to both of them at church. It's been amazing to watch them grow closer together, and I'm so excited to be there to support Luke & Laura on their special day.

I met Laura as my freshman year roommate, and she quickly became one of my best friends! I've had the joy of watching her and Luke's love story unfold over the years, and I'm so excited to stand by her on her big day! I'm so thankful for the joy and light she brings into my life, and I'll forever praise God for the friend He gave me four years ago!
Zach Kingsmore
Groomsman
Luke was one of the first friends I made my freshman year of college, and throughout our college years, I have had the joy of making some of my most fond memories alongside him, including standing with him on my own wedding day! I know him to be kind, funny, hardworking, and just in general the kind of person you know you can always count on. I still remember the day that he went on his first date with Laura, and I have had the pleasure of watching them grow in their love for one another and for the Lord. It has been a joy growing alongside him over the last 5 years, and I am overwhelmingly grateful, honored, and excited to stand by his side on his wedding day!

I had the pleasure of meeting Luke a couple of years ago as I was moving from home to my first apartment. Luke very quickly became one of my closest friends and someone I felt very comfortable being around. Luke has such a fun personality, willing to do whatever the group wanted and make it a blast. Under his fun personality, I was able to see his caring character, especially around Laura. His pursuit and care for Laura is one of a kind, and I couldn't be happier for him and Laura to pursue a Godly marriage together!

I met Laura a few weeks after starting out freshman year of college when we were both hovering around our now discipleship group leader. Since then, she's become one of my sweetest friends and a trusted confidant. She has truly changed my life for the better, and I'm a better person for knowing her. I love you!

Luke and I first met in our freshman year of college. I still remember the day Luke first walked into the room, and I knew I wanted to be friends with him. It turns out that I would become roommates with him for the next three years of college. Luke's fun-loving personality created an amazing roommate. I have been lucky to be a part of Luke's life from the very first date with Laura, and I instantly knew that they balanced each other out so well. I am blessed to call Luke a great friend and look forward to continuing our adventures together. (The photo of me was taken by Luke on one of our adventures)
