Maid of Honor
Four years ago, we decided to move in together on a whim. We learned to communicate (okay, fought) for the first 4 months, and we joke now that God used her to prepare me for Mario because their personalities are so similar. Through it all, God has gifted me with the best friend I could ask for and I'm so grateful to have her standing by my side!
Best Man
Isaac is a very amazing brother in my life and it's an honor to have such an amazing friend stand with me. We have a passion to build church together and for helping guys grow into the men they are called to be. We have partnered together and led small group together for a season, and I am so grateful for what he has meant in my life. I look forward to seeing all that happens in our friendship in the future!
Bridesmaid
Anya and I have known each other since basically forever. We went to elementary school together, church together, even got our first "we're real adults out of college now" apartment together. Was it a little sketchy and did our parents wish we didn't live there? Yes. Did we have a blast anyway? Also yes! Most people think we're sisters because of our matching dark curly hair and light eyes, and in truth, she's as close as a sister to me and I couldn't imaging my wedding day without her!
Groomsman
Peijie has been one of my friends from the beginning of my time here in KC. We started playing soccer, volleyball and footgolf together, and now he's become a very important friend in my life. Fun fact - I asked him to borrow a Sporting KC jersey, which I wore on Jess and I's first sporting date.
Bridesmaid
I'll never forget one of my first conversations with Morgan at church - I told her she should definitely join the kids team even though that was the last place she wanted to serve. (I may have been headhunting for the team but you gotta do what you gotta do!) Little did I know that would lead to us becoming teammates, then co-workers, and then friends who are family, and I'm honored she and Paul would choose to stand with us on our special day!
Groomsman
Paul and I have been doing life and building church together for the past 2 years. He's become a very good friend and has always been there for me over the years. It is an honor to have him stand alongside me on this very special day and I see our friendship being one that will last for a very long time moving forward.
Junior Bridesmaid
Abi Jane Kate (she'd kill me if she knew I was using that nickname in public...) is my sister Rachel's only daughter. Of four kids, she's the only girl, and she's always held a special place in my heart. I love that she gets to be part of our special day!
Flower Girl
I got to hold Lexi four hours after she was born, and she's had my heart ever since! She's a ray of sunshine all the time, she's my little girlfriend, and I'm so excited she's part of our special day!
Ring Bearer
Silas is just about the cutest little kid ever, and we absolutely love his parents, Nate and Shelby. We're pretty sure he'll steal the show on our wedding day, and that's okay!
