Wedding Party

Mishayla Kortman

Maid of Honor

Hi! My name is Mishayla and I’ve had the honor of knowing Hannah for 6 years. Hannah and I met at a Train concert with our friend Marlee and instantly became friends. We both share the love of country music, cheesy jokes, and saying that we’re gonna stay up all night only to fall asleep at 10 pm. We've experienced playing soccer together, going on many beach trips, and never ending laughter. Hannah is my best friend and I am happy to see her and Avery so in love and where life will take them next.

Clay Rodgers

Best Man

Avery and I have worked together during the summers for the past 7 years. What started as just helping a kid learn to cowboy turned into him being one of my best friends. We have had some great times working, roping, going on trips and him just being a part of our family but he has also been the worst driving partner (you can’t keep him awake), a horrible treadmill mover and awful mechanic. On a serious note, I feel God placed Hannah and Avery together at the perfect time, and she is definitely Gods plan for Ave. They both have become our family’s closest friends and we love them both.

Marlee Wilson

Bridesmaid

Hannah & I have been friends since junior high. Living down the street, across the country or across the world Hannah has always been there for me. And for that I am a very blessed person! I’ve always wondered what lucky guy will have the honor of marrying my best friend, & I am happy Avery made the cut. I remember when Hannah came out to visit me in Kansas & we went to a real country county fair. It was there I first saw her infatuation for a good ole cowboy - haha! So it was no surprise to me when I got the call that she had met a spectacular ranch boy who swept her off her feet. The way they pursue the Lord together is something I have prayed for for Hannah since we were just little junior highers. So believe me when I say, this wedding will be quite the celebration for the two of them!

Kyle Wilson

Groomsman

My name is Kyle, oldest brother to the groom. From times of being arch enemies to becoming the best of friends, our lives together have been anything but boring. From fights to laughs and failures to successes, I have enjoyed them all and couldn’t be more proud of the man Avery has become. I look forward to many more memories together, just with with a little extra company added to our band of outlaws. Congratulations, Avery and Hannah!

Cameron Gibson

Bridesmaid

Hi! I have known sweet Hannah for ~6 years. We met when she transferred to Northwest & tried out for cheer. Eventually, we became captains of the team AND best friends! Some of our dearest memories are Friday nights cheering on the sidelines, looooong chats at AJ’s & Pei Wei after practices, & family game nights with tacos, of course. While I had been hearing about Avery for months, it wasn’t until they got engaged that I finally was able to meet him (long distance friendship problems!) They were giddy, holding hands, poking fun at each other... madly in love! Their love radiates God’s goodness & His grace, & I couldn’t feel more thankful & honored to be part of their day.

Carter Wilson

Groomsman

I don’t know where to begin. In my mind I always knew Avery was to be the first married, but now that it’s here, I have to face reality. He is my brother, my hunting buddy, someone I can open up to, a role model, and someone I look forward to when he gets home so we can talk and joke around. He is my best friend. He can somehow always pick me up when I am down, be a listener when I need him, and now I have to let someone else enjoy the great qualities of this man. While I am deeply saddened to see him go, I see the joy in his eyes when Hannah comes around, and I know that this is what he has waited forever for. He’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him with Hannah, and I know they will have a tremendous future ahead.

Kathryn Cheever

Bridesmaid

Hi! I have known Han for 9 years. We met in middle school, when our parents thought it would be a great idea for us to go to summer weightlifting together with our older brothers. Hannah was my summer workout buddy, that turned into my dearest lifelong friend. I’ve always admired Hannah’s relationship with the Lord and I knew that God had someone really special for her. I first met Avery when I went up to flag to visit Han, and after spending the weekend with them, my heart was so full. I saw how happy she was with him and how inseparable they are. I left knowing Han had found her person - the one God had been saving just for her. Hannah has been such a light in my life and I feel so blessed to be apart of her and Avery’s special day.

Bennett Boggess

Groomsman

Avery and I have known each other since before we could walk, which quickly turned into running around together and causing trouble at church. Avery has been my life long hunting, fishing, all around adventurer best friend. I’m very proud to take the credit for setting Avery and Hannah up on their first blind date. When asked (individually) if they would be willing to go on a double/blind date with my wife and I, they both responded that they weren’t really looking for anyone right now but would love to hang out with us. We were invisible 5 minutes into that date...

Lauren Ledbetter

Bridesmaid

My name is Lauren Ledbetter (more often known as Lolo) and I have had the great honor of knowing Hannah for 5 years. We met in sophomore english class and quickly bonded over endless hours of writing papers at AJs. She’s been my bestie since that first day, and I wouldn’t trade our target runs, cookie baking, or movie nights for anything. I didn’t have the privilege of meeting Avery until the engagement party, but when I did, I instantly knew this was the man God always had in mind for my Han. I just feel so blessed to be a small part of their special day!

Jarrett Herbel

Groomsman

Avery has been one of my closest cousins and has stood by me through thick and thin. When he asked me to stand up there with him on the biggest day of his life, I did not know what to say. I’m not an emotional guy, but when he asked me to be apart of his big day, I had to hold back tears of joy. Thank you Avery and Hannah for letting me be apart of your day.

Maria Wright

Bridesmaid

I first met Hannah when we decided to be roommates for our freshman year at NAU. We quickly became so close until soon I was living with a new best friend. I remember when Hannah came back to our dorm room the night she had her first date with Avery. I was asleep but the next morning she told me all about how amazing her date was, how he called her Miss Hannah and gave her a side hug. After that they were inseparable, and I saw how happy she always was when she was with him. I am beyond excited to be a part of this wedding and witness the journey Hannah and Avery have shared together and how they will continue to grow together. I am so thankful for the best roommate that turned into a lifelong friendship.

Chad Adkins

Groomsman

My friendship with Avery began when he was in high school and I was a volunteer at youth group, but it has grown into a mutual friendship. I’ve learned a lot from Avery in seeing his courage, character, and drivenness which is a testimony to his maturity and depth of friendship. As soon as Avery told me about this young lady that he was so excited about, I looked at my wife and said “That brother is in love”. So once we found out about Hannah we wanted to have them over for a double date. It was so cool to see their beautiful and mature relationship! I am extremely excited to witness their marriage for the many countless years to come

Danica Wilson

Bridesmaid

Hi! I’m Danica, the little sister of three brothers, and baby of the family. I think we can all agree that Avery has always had his life together. Although it is sometimes hard to live up to his amazing example, it gives me a desire to work harder and accomplish big things. Avery never fails to put a smile on my face when he points out that my outfit is cute or that my shoes match well with what I’m wearing. The thing I love the most about Avery is his heart full of love for Jesus. He is a light for Christ in all that he does. I have to admit I am soooo excited to FINALLY have a sister (no offense boys). Now we can be the only girls...together!

Tyler Goble

Groomsman

My name is Tyler. I’m brother to the bride and friend to the groom. I first met Hannah when she was born, so I get the bragging rights of knowing her the longest. I am so happy I get to be apart of this special day for Hannah and Avery. And I’m so excited to finally have a brother!!

Benjamin Rodgers

Ring Bearer

When I was two, I broke my leg and couldn’t do much but sit around, and Avery took time to just play with me - he also let me wear one of his bracelets. I will always remember how nice he was to me and I have loved Avery ever since. I’m happy to be part of the wedding, but I think I would rather be the DJ.

Matthew Rodgers

Ring Bearer

Avery is my best buddy and we have a lot of fun together. My favorite things to do with him are wrestling, playing the guitar, moving cows and roping. I’m happy for Avery to get married because I like Hannah, but I’m sad because he’s making me wear a monkey suit.
