Justin Jenks
Best Man
"I met Justin when we just kids playing baseball together. All through high school, college and now as adults, he's always been there for me. The countless days of just hanging out, riding around in the Taurus, going to the beach, an just 'trying' to be cool. Justin's my bestfriend and I am so glad to have him in my life. You know you have a best friend when he still hangs out with you until midnight when he has to get up at 3am to go hunting. Dedication at its finest." - Austin

I am so grateful for his friendship." -Austin

Scott Chemma
Groomsman
"Scott is like the little brother I never know I needed. We met at the beginning of my Junior year in High School. It all started when this tall lanky freshman said 'Hi Austin!' to me one day.

Stephanie Hostetler
Bridesmaid
"Steph was my Shipshe Shopping BFF. From the Flea Market to the Red Barn to the Davis Mercantile - our childhood was full of Jojo's pretzels, fake nails, and porcelain dolls!

Cody is an awesome friend, caring, always having your back, and is a blast to be around." -Austin
