Wedding Party
Rob &Cathy Vollmer
Parents of the Bride
Cathy and Rob are servants in the truest sense of the word. Through their intentional parenting, they led me to the greatest gift of my life, the Lord. Ever since my childhood, they have shown me a powerful witness of Christian charity, generosity, and faithful love.
Julie and Chuck Close
Parents of the Groom
Chuck and Julie have imaged so well to me the joyful, bridal love of Christ in their patience, gentleness, and generosity that I cannot help but rejoice in them as parents and model after them in all thanksgiving.
Becca Keifer
Maid of Honor
Becca has such a warm heart, which has been a sturdy shelter. Our adventures through the mountains of Austria helped us to root our friendship in adventure and in Christ (& St. Joseph). She has a deep love for beauty, and it shines through in her decorating skills and her character.
Micah Eby
Best Man
From the moment I saw Micah, something in me knew I wanted to be friends with him. He has been a hidden rock for me through many of my formative years, and we connect through our childlikeness in which I have not yet found one like mine as his is.
Mary Seida
Bridesmaid
Mary is a bubbling fountain of joy and peace. While she has a gentle and maternal presence, her enthusiasm frequently led to some of my most treasured college shenanigans. Shoutout Marian Hall giggles ;)
Kyle Snyder
Groomsman
Kyle has great maturity and leadership for his age. I've been honored to be his friend since the first moments of hanging out, guiding each other in prudence.
Abby Dresher
Bridesmaid
Abby receives people with great empathy and warmth. With skillful balance, Abby is diligent in her studies, serves on many missions, and fosters a trademark combination of both hospitality & healthy boundaries in her relationships.
Joseph Gill
Groomsman
Joey's very person is gentle hospitality. He's wise, witty, and he draws you in and reveals his welcoming humor and comradery. He is a joy to be with.
Valentina Cattaneo
Bridesmaid
Valentina and I met our first week of college, and she's been a faithful friend from day one, always loving from a place of quiet, interior strength. She has such a heart for serving others and she's usually the first person I call when I'm in a tough spot.
Dom Platte
Groomsman
Dom is a striking balance of motivated, honed masculinity while simultaneously having great humility. Time with Dom only brings greater revelation of how deep and true a person can be.
Becky Flickinger
Bridesmaid
I can always count on a good laugh and an honest but compassionate opinion from Becky. Without fail, our trips end up way more adventurous than expected, but always end up more memorable than I could've hoped.
Ian Denome
Groomsman
Ian has always been close to me in the most meaningful moments. We always seem to find ourselves in a web of adventure and laughter, only to be later struck by his deep wisdom and care for others.
Evelyn Hilgeman
Bridesmaid
Evelyn vibrantly radiates joy and always has the energy to party with a friend and offer an insightful philosophical perspective. She never fails to stop everything she's doing to take care of a friend.
Gus Free
Groomsman
I'm confident in claiming Gus as my most meaningful friend in college. Aside from being tall, dark (as much as an Irishman can get), and handsome, he's firmly grounded in reality, generous with his time and gifts, and has a heart of gold which my own can't help but cherish.
Grace Perkins
Bridesmaid
Grace is almost always smiling and has been dubbed "smiles" by our family. Her perseverance is absolutely unparalleled, and her joyful listening is so intentional. Of all my bridesmaids, Grace is my most longstanding friend, and I am so grateful for the gift she is.
Jackson Vollmer
Groomsman
In the short time I've known Jackson, I've frequently mentioned to Macrina how much of a man he already is. He has a confidence and faith I wish I had going into college.
Ella Nolan
Bridesmaid
Ella lives from a place of deep intentionality and purpose. She asks incredibly insightful questions, which often lead us to very beautifully practical ways to live more virtuously. I am so grateful for all the ways she makes me think more ;)
Carmen Alexander
Groomsman
Carmen is the epitome of confidence. Not boastful or showy, but he knows himself and seems to have so much space in his heart to share so many moments with so many friends. I'm honored to be counted among them.
McKenzie Eby
Bridesmaid
Kenz is an amazing hype woman and has been such a mentor to me in the two years we've been friends. She's taught me so much about hosting and hospitality, what authentic friendship looks like and how to lean on community in the good and the bad.
Nick Vandenbrink
Groomsman
Nick was my sanity in high school. Where my Best Man, Micah, was my rock, Nick helped grow me, accepted me, loved me well, and shared many of my favorite moments in high school. He was my closest friend in so many circumstances, and is still considered one of my dearest friends.
Jacob & Macrina
Groom and Bride
We love each and every one of you so much and we can't wait to celebrate the joy of this sacrament with you:) Please keep us in your prayers as we approach our wedding day!! With great love and joy, Jacob and Macrina
