Nicole & Calvin
Wedding Party
Megan
Maid of Honor
Megan is my sister, my very first best friend! She is the person I am most myself around. Two, weird, peas in pod. My sister has been a source of strength, safety, and protection. She has never failed to be right by my side and help me through the worst of times. She is so supportive and loving and never fails to show me that. I could not have asked for a better sister. She’s everything I wanted and more. I love you Meggy-poo.
Elizabeth
Bridesmaid
Liz started out as my boss, and I thought she hated me. Turns out, she didn’t. Over the years working together we have developed such a close friendship. She is never hesitant to point out when I’m being fearful and she always helps redirects me to truth. Her love for the Lord has overflowed and poured out on to me and that has been such a blessing. Elizabeth, you are such a gift! I love you.
Maddy
Bridesmaid
Maddy was my roommate for a few years. She is the weirdest person I know, which is perfect because I’m the weirdest person she knows. Maddy instantly became one of my best friends. Endless singing, too personal conversations, and just being weird introverts together, our friendship turned into something so beautiful. She is such a blessing, a gift from God, always reminding me of God’s truth and never hesitating to point out when I’m going in a wrong direction. I love you mad-dawg!!
Linda
Bridesmaid
Linda was my roommate my freshman year in college. Day one we were friends. She was the first person to befriend me and make that place feel like home. Even through ups and downs I was always able to count on her. She is such a loyal and loving friend. I’ve been so thankful to have been able to grow alongside her and encounter so many different season of life with each other. Her constant and steadfast love for the Lord radiates through her and she shares that love to me through our friendship. I’m so grateful! I love you Linda!!
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is my coworker, roommate, and wonderful friend! I did not realize how close we would become, but it was like instant best friends. Our relationship filled with encouragement, accountability, and reminding each other of Gods love for us has been such a gift to have. I love you my Emmys!!
Caleb
Best Man
Caleb is my older brother by two years. We have shared a room since we were babies, and we have always been super close. At a young age, our favorite things to do were playing sports, giggling in church, and ganging up on our sisters. From living together, traveling together, laughing together, and crying together, we continue to grow closer and our relationship deepens as time goes on. I can always count on my brother to show me the love, grace, and truth of Christ, keeping me focused on God's goodness and faithfulness. In the midst of hardship, trials, or discouragement, his optimistic self always reminds me of God's sovereignty and provision. I'm so thankful for you Caleb! Love ya broski!
James
Groomsman
James is my closest pal, childhood best friend, and adventure buddy. From a young age, we've gotten along very well and have done so much together. From shooting airsoft, to go-kart racing, to movie nights, to spontaneous snack runs, we would do so much together when we were young. Some of our biggest adventures together have been road tripping to Arizona, pulling an all nighter in the Chick-Fil-A parking lot, doing a mountain/snow/desert/beach trip in 24 hours, and illegally exploring the Lake Hodges Dam together with my dog Shiloh. I can strongly trust James like a brother, with his strong sense of family/community, that he will forever encourage me to deeply love, sacrifice, and appreciate the ones I love and care about. So thankful that God placed you in my life! Love ya bro!
Jared
Groomsman
Jared, being James' brother and Caleb's best friend, was always a good friend to me. But as of recent years, I can truly call him a best friend. Though he left me for Europe about three years ago, we still have Facetimed very often and are always catching up. Even when Jared is stubborn, grumpy, and argumentative, he is still so much fun to be around. We have had so many deep, open, and honest conversations together, countless uplifting debate, and innumerable jokes shared. Jared is such an encouraging friend to have, and someone who I can trust will always encourage me to deeply love God, my wife, my family, and those around me. Love ya man!
Eddie
Groomsman
Eddie is one of my best friends, someone who I became very close to over this past year. I consider Eddie to be my closest accountability partner and a good friend, who always redirects me, admonishes me, and encourages me. Eddie has been a good friend to me all throughout my dating relationship and engagement, never ceasing to ask good questions, remind me of truth, and encourage me to keep God first in all things. I'm so very thankful for my close friendship with Eddie, and am so excited to have him as a friend for life. Love ya Ed!
Tim
Groomsman
Tim and I, though we have only known each other for a few months, became instant kindred spirits. Tim, hopefully my future brother-in-law, is one of the most kind, loving, caring, patient, and honest men I know. He sets an incredible example to me of how to genuinely, deeply love like Jesus loved. I have said before that if I could be half the man Tim is, I would be so happy. I'm grateful for my relationship with Tim, and I'm looking forward to a lifetime of friendship together. Love you boo!
