Our People
David Highman III
Father of the Bride
The one who never let her fall—and if she ever did, it was only to help her rise stronger, wiser, and with a deeper understanding of herself. He has been her quiet strength, her constant supporter, and the person who always knew just what to say when words felt impossible. Her life wouldn’t be the same without him, and she’s never once taken his presence for granted. His love, steadiness, and wisdom have shaped her journey in more ways than he may ever realize.
Janeen Highman
Mother of the Bride
The one who held her hand through every storm and reminded her of her strength when she forgot it herself. She has always been the voice of reason in moments of chaos, gently helping her see the world through a lens beyond her own—full of empathy, grace, and understanding. Her unwavering love, quiet wisdom, and endless support have shaped the woman the bride is today. Through every chapter of the bride's life, she has stood with her—not just as a mother, but as her closest confidante, her grounding force, and her heart’s first home.
Ron Burger
Father of the Groom
The groom's father is the quiet force who built a foundation of love, laughter, and endless support. From staying up late reading comics side by side, to building Legos piece by piece—he’s been there for every little moment that made a big difference. Whether it was helping with homework, fixing things around the house, or simply showing up every single time, he’s the kind of father every child dreams of having. Tireless in his work, generous in his heart, and endlessly sweet—he helped shape the groom into the man he is today. A true hero in every sense of the word.
Jean Burger
Mother of the Groom
The groom’s mother is a radiant soul—beautiful inside and out—whose love has shaped him into the kind, thoughtful man he is today. Through every stage of life, especially the hard and uncertain ones, she’s been his guiding light. When he was shy, she was his voice. When life was loud, she was his calm. Always laughing, always talking, always showing up with open arms and an open heart. Her joy is contagious, her strength unmatched, and her love for family is at the very center of who she is. The groom is who he is because of her—and he will carry her love into this next chapter of life.
David IV and Chelsea Highman
Brother and Sister-in-Law
The Bride’s Younger Brother A lifelong cheerleader, a steady reminder of her worth, and a shining example of what it means to be a devoted husband and father. Watching him grow into the incredible man he is today has been one of her life’s greatest honors. The Bride’s Sister-in-Law A soul full of warmth, grace, and selflessness. She has brought immeasurable light to the Highman family and raised her children with love, strength, and beauty. Her presence has made the family better in every way.
Parker Highman
Flower Child
Meet our joyful little light, the bride’s 5-year-old nephew, who will be gracing the aisle as our flower child. With a heart as big as his imagination and a smile that could melt the sun, he brings laughter and love wherever he goes. His gentle spirit, playful energy, and pure excitement for the big day have filled our hearts during every step of this journey. Watching him sprinkle petals down the aisle will be a moment we’ll never forget—a perfect reminder of innocence, wonder, and the kind of love that makes life magical.
Blakelee Highman
Flower Child
Our tiniest flower child, the bride’s darling 2-year-old niece, will be stealing hearts and sprinkling petals down the aisle. With her chubby cheeks, twinkling eyes, and endless giggles, she brings magic wherever she toddles. She may be small, but her presence is mighty—filling our day with joy, innocence, and all the sweetness only a two-year-old can bring. Watching her take part in our celebration will be one of the most precious memories of the day. Don't play "baby" by Justin Bieber because she will dance and sing the night away.
Jason Hickerson
Officiant
Jason Hickerson is one of the most amazing souls we've ever had the honor of knowing. Kind, grounded, and full of light, his presence is a gift to everyone lucky enough to share space with him. Since 2011, the Bride and Jason have been singing together, creating memories woven with harmonies, laughter, and deep friendship. His voice is nothing short of magic—one that lifts hearts and quiets rooms—and his spirit is even more powerful. It means the world to have someone so genuine and full of grace standing beside us on one of the most important days of our lives.
Avie Ann Addison Burger
fur baby
She’s 4 years old, full of spunk, and lives life with the perfect mix of chaos and love. Our sweet (and slightly wild) fur baby has kept us on our toes since day one—zooming through rooms, stealing socks, and filling our lives with unconditional love. She may not have a seat at the table, but she’s forever a part of our story. Our home (and hearts) wouldn’t be the same without her tail wags, nose boops, and joyful energy.
