Nick & Rachel
Wedding Party
Danielle DeWitt
Maid of Honor
We met each other years ago through a mutual friend and instantly became sisters. When I was taking care of everyone else, Danielle was the one that took care of me. Her servant heart and loyalty with family and friends is so deep; If you were to call her at 3 in the morning for help she would not hesitate to drop everything and would come help you without question. She moved to California to pursue her relationship with God at Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA and now is a true "Cali girl". Even though we can't see each other all the time, we can instantly pick up right where we left off!
Sam Cheshire
Best Man
Sam has been my best friend for the past several years and in that time I have watched him change from a kid playing bass in a Metalcore band, to a man of the Shenandoah valley with a heart for nature, pipe tobacco, and of course his beautiful wife Megan. I had the honor of being his best man for his wedding and now I am honored to have him as mine. Love ya brother.
Ashley Kerns
Bridesmaid
Everyone thinks we're sisters (its just because the dark hair). I mean, we pretty much are! We started out as simple gym partners; when I knew nothing about working out but wanted to be a beast like her. She taught me the ropes and eventually I persuaded her to hang out with me outside the gym and now we not only work together but go to the same church and she happens to be dating my brother Nate (so yeah, we may become actual sisters ;) ). There's no one who is more goofy and nuts then this girl. Love ya beastie
Nate Alger
Groomsman
Nate is one of Rachel's brothers and another one of my closest friends. Since he returned from California several years ago, he has shown himself to be one of the wisest men of God that I have had the honor to know. We have spent just as much time having deep intellectual conversations as we have goofing off. I am excited to see where this mans journey will lead him in life because I know that God has much in store for him.
Stephanie Williams
Bridesmaid
Years ago we got nick-named "the sheep dog and the honey badger" (try to guess who is who lol). Steph and I met 5 years ago when she was going to college studying to become a nurse and was looking for a church. She strolled into ours and I happened to be praying at that time for a new friend to come into my life, little did we know she was it! We are complete opposites (literally), but when it comes to our love for stuffed crust pizza from pizza hut, spontaneous photo shoots, gymnastics, and leading worship together we come together and flow so well. God knew what he was doing when he introduced us; though at times we wanted to give up on each other, we never did. We pushed through, and now love each other more deeply. Love you my Hoe.
Josh Alger
Groomsman
Josh is Rachel's youngest brother. Although I haven't spent a lot of time hanging out with him, I can see that he is an incredibly light hearted individual with a heart to breed success not only for himself, but for others. He is currently attending George Mason University to major in IT and minor in business; he is also very financially wise so it is easy to see why the Alger's say he will be the money maker of the family ;) Josh has quite the destiny in store for him and I cannot wait to see it fulfilled!
Kyera Lamoureux
Bridesmaid
Ah, my big sis..... Years ago I attended a ministry school up in PA where I met this amazing woman. She was one of the first people who encouraged me to go after my creative side and pursue arts. I remember we bought basic paints together and would sit up in her studio apartment Saturday nights and play worship music and just paint and talk. We would go out and do "photo shoots" back when I knew nothing about photography but she encouraged me to start awakening my soul to see the things no one else could. You are and always will be my big sis, the one who helped awaken my love for photography and painting.
Jake Brown
Groomsman
I met Jake a few years ago at the local cigar shop John B. Hayes. Since our first conversation we have become very close friends between working out, enjoying fine cigars, and taking in the Thursday night bible study at JBH. I have watched this man grow in faith and wisdom and have gained priceless insight on what it means to be a Husband, a Father, and a Man of God.
Diana Porath
Bridesmaid
We've known each other since we were 5 years old. I still don't know how, but we've managed to stay great friends throughout the years lol! We grew up in the same neighborhood so we have our many memories of fun times with the whole neighborhood gang; from zip lining to sledding in our back yards to making mud pies and jumping off the garage roof together (on to the trampoline granted). Love having you as one of my girls <3
Harry Crowe
Groomsman
Harry.... aka Hercules. We met this power lifter two years ago through our friends Sam and Megan. He's a newer member of our little group but has immediately become a member of our core friends. He may seem tough on the outside but has a heart of gold and loyalty that knows no rival.
