Mark & Amy
Wedding Party
Amy McAffrey
Bride
Soon to be Mrs. McGraw (and the only one allowed to wear white at the wedding lol). Blessed to be on this amazing journey and I can't wait to meet Mark at the end of the aisle. Hope to see you all there!
Mark McGraw
Groom
Soon to be still Mr. McGraw LOL. I am very excited to celebrate with everyone and happy that I get to become the husband of the most amazing woman in the whole universe. I am blessed to be with Amy, and I can't wait to celebrate that blessing and love with everyone close to us. See you at the Wedding!
Ed Belzer
Officiant
I had the privilege of being Mark’s youth pastor during his high school years. We shared a lot of life together, through good times and difficult. It is an honor to be performing the wedding joining him and Amy together. We have shared many things in our pre-marital counseling meetings. We believe in your union and are here to support you.
Chris White
Best Man
Mark and I met at church, that's the shortest answer I could possibly give. We became friends because of our shared curiosity for engineering and mechanics and grew because both of us were such big nerds. He easily became one of my closest friends, still is, and probably always will be.

Maid of Honor
Amy and I go back to grade school, honestly I have been blessed to have her as a friend! I know that Mark and Amy will have an amazing day.
Matthew Sabisch
Best Man
Mark and I met at church on a Wednesday night youth group meeting. He was the new guy who just happened to say something about marvel to me, from then on we’ve talked about anything and everything, especially during our 12 hour car rides to school. When it comes to Mark and Amy… well, I was there when it all started, and I hope to never see it end!
Anna Grace Swearingen
Bridesmaid
Amy calls me AG! We reconnected over a mission trip a few years ago and somehow landed being roommates. Together we’ve done midnight worship concerts in our living room, disco dance parties, and fun nights of Carl ball (just a silly game we made up together). This girl is crazy fun and I totally look forward to the dance party at the reception. Can’t wait for the big day!
Jared McAffrey
Groomsman
Mark and I met when my sister Amy introduced him to our family a couple of years ago. Since then, I've gotten to know him very well and I have developed a deep respect for him. Best of luck to Mark and Amy both in their upcoming life together.
Bridget McGraw
Bridesmaid
Sister of the groom and future sister-in-law to the bride. I’ve always wanted a sister and if it takes the law to get there so be it! I’m so happy for both Mark and Amy, they really are perfect for each other.
Wil Decker
Groomsman
I met Mark in Greek class in our first year of college. We both had no idea what we were doing so we banded together to not know what was going on together. From there, we became RA’s, church interns, roommates, and so much more.
Cecilia Gilbert
Bridesmaid
I met Mark and Amy in high school and funny enough, introduced the two! Happy to see the two of them grow together and plan their special day. I can’t wait to see it all come together!
Chase Anderson
Groomsman
Mark and I met in the beginning of middle school and somehow, we naturally gravitated towards each other, we became friends quickly and began hanging out all the time. We have been great friends ever since then and hope for a long time to come.
Mike McAffrey
Father of the Bride
As Amy’s dad, I have watched Amy’s love for God blossom like that of a flower, as her steps have been directed by the Lord Jesus. In much the same way, I have seen Mark’s devotion to being directed by the Lord at the forefront of his life. All the while, their love for one another resembles much of what the Lord has shown us in His Word. For the Word says: “Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” What a joyous occasion this will be to be a part of this once in a lifetime ceremony that will bring glory to Him (Jesus) that reigns forever and ever!
Alison McAffrey
Mother of the Bride
Amy will be an incredibly beautiful bride and I’m so excited for Mark & Amy to start their new life together! We are incredibly blessed.
Andy McGraw
Father of the Groom
I am Mark’s Dad. I am very proud that Mark has chosen to become a Pastor and a Social Worker and is striving every day to make the world a better place. I think Mark and Amy are a great match and that they have something very special together. I am very proud of them, and I wish them all the best.
Holly McGraw
Mother of the Groom
Hello, I’m Mark’s mom which gives me a unique vantage of clueless awe and wonder. Mark is the strong quiet type yet mentioned his birthday buddy a half dozen times when he was in high school. Speak ill of Covid but it helped bring these two together with Mark’s ability to do school from home. It has been awesome to actually watch their relationship blossom and see how they work together right at our kitchen table with budgeting and decision-making. They are taking not just steps of faith but a giant leap of faith trusting God where they will be living next year! I know Mark’s taken a vow against gambling, but he certainly made a sure bet on Amy! Love you both- and Amy WELCOME!
