Bride
Best Man
The Joe and Norman story starts at camp. They have one of those friendships that just seems to make sense if you know them both. Joe lives in London, but you can't meet a more inseparable duo when the two are together. When Marissa entered the scene, it didn't take long for her and Joe to click as well. Anyone who knows Joe, loves and remembers Joe... that's just how it is.

Carly has been Marissa's best friend since middle school. The two were inseparable all throughout high school, and despite the distance in college, their friendship stayed. Carly is the epitome of a loyal and loving friend. Her heart for Christ shines through in all that she does.
Best Man
Logan and Norman became best of friends during their college years at Butler. Their friendship was instrumental in Norman's own walk with Christ.

Logan's influence has had a tremendous impact on the man Norman has grown to be, and it only seemed right to have both his best friends as co-bestmen.
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Marissa became best friends in middle school, despite being incredibly different personalities at the time. Let's just paint the picture of Sarah, a true athlete, determining she could participate in a game after witnessing Marissa, not an athlete at the time, playing while wearing a tutu. Over the years their personalities have begun to share more common ground which has only deepened the friendship, no matter the distance.
Groomsman
Jason is Norman's eldest brother and the person who "paved the way". Jason's influence on Norman can be credited to much of the man Norman has grown to be today. Jason serves as a role model in many ways - as a son, a brother, a husband and father. His steady and thoughtful guidance is never overlooked.

Loren is the second oldest brother of the Groom and has played a pivotal role in Norman's journey through the years, growing from a boy to a young man.

His support and encouragement to Norman during high school and college was crucial and something Norman will never take for granted.
Bridesmaid
Emma was Marissa's first best friend in life. They have been friends since birth. While Marissa didn't have any biological siblings, Emma has been a sister to her over the years. A few years ago Marissa had the honor of being in Emma's bridal party, and there was never a question that Emma belonged in hers.
Groomsman
Tully is not just another friend from camp. Hailing from Australia, he has been a true day one "mate" of Norman's since his arrival to camp in 2019. Tull radiates joy and genuine care to all who meet him. He now resides in Florida with his wife, Cindy, and their 2 boys, Milo and River, and a third on the way right before the wedding! He had a tremendous impact on Marissa's first summer at camp, and at this point, it's lucky she didn't try to poach him to team bride.
Bridesmaid
Just like Emma, Julia and Marissa have been friends since birth. The girls spent almost every day of the summer playing at the pool together. When they are together, there is constant talking and laughter. Their dynamic has never changed. Julia is by far more family than friend, and the girls have celebrated so many life milestones together. Julia was one of the friends present for the engagement, and it was a no brainer for her to be a part of the wedding as well.

Mario, a social animal, has a way of quickly turning strangers into friends and makes those around him feel comfortable and seen.
Bridesmaid
