Nina & Steven
Wedding Party
Jennifer Seifert
Matron of Honor
I have known Jennifer for 7 years - she is an honorary big sister to me. We met at church, and our friendship blossomed from there. Her joy is contagious. She always lifts my spirits when I am around her - she is one of the most selfless and amazing people that I have met. She also taught me that popcorn with Milk Duds is an essential part of a great sleepover! Over the course of our dating, Steven and I have spent time studying the Bible with Jennifer and her husband, Brent. We both look up to them and are so blessed by their friendship. -N
Megan Drennon
Matron of Honor
Megan is one of my big sisters. She is married to my oldest brother, Tim, and is mother to Kennedy and Lleyton. We have bonded over the years by our love of photography, our endless nights playing board games, and laughing the night away. Because of her love of note-taking at church, I began doing the same and found great joy in it. She has taught me that Mud Pie brand dish ware is fun to have around the house, and coffee drinks with extra whipped cream are delicious and good for the soul. She is an amazing sister and always gives good advice. -N
Jamie Coalson
Bridesmaid
Jamie (aka Jamie Blanco aka JJ) and I have been friends for over 7 years. She and I first became friends during church youth group and church camps. We both attended Harding University and are members of the Phi Kappa Delta sisterhood. We took an Elementary Statistics class together, and, through that, poor Jamie was so patient with me - math and I mix like oil and water. We have climbed the Arkansas Mountains together, and now I am so glad she is by my side as I start this new journey called marriage. -N
Kelly Furlong
Bridesmaid
I have known Kelly (aka the Gringa Vanilla Latte to my Caramel Macchiato) for over 7 years. She was one of the first peers that I met at church. She automatically accepted me into the group and has always included me. During our first (and only) year together at Harding, Kelly was supportive to me when I was homesick - she has always been supportive ever since. Her smile lights up the room. Throughout our friendship, she has taught me to always help people because you don’t know how much of a blessing you will be to them. I aspire to help others like she does. -N
Maegan Bray
Bridesmaid
I met Maegan at church about seven years ago, and my nickname for her quickly became “Becks”. Back then, Maegan, and her now husband Ben, were the most competitive people no matter what game or sport we played during youth group activities. Yet somehow always managed to have a soft spot for this sassy brown-eyed girl who played for "fun". She has always been someone I can come to when I am at my wit's end and need prayer. Watching her and Ben fall in love as “kids” and then watching them commit their lives to each other has been so special, and I am so happy that she is going to be by my side on our own special day. -N
Summer Dunaway
Bridesmaid
Summer is one of my best friends. We met five years ago during the fall semester when she was pledging Phi Kappa Delta - she is my Kappa sister. She was also a roommate of mine during my time at Harding. She can attest to all of my shower singing, Netflix binging, planning out everything all on my neat little planner and then waiting last minute to do things (get ready Steven). Summer and I were total opposite roommates who somehow found our beautiful balance. She has always been a good friend to me. On long weekends, she would take me home with her to get something yummy besides the gross cafeteria food (thanks Dunaway and Mama Debbie!) while introducing me to the charm of a small town life. -N
Taylar Lovelace
Bridesmaid
I met Taylar six years ago not knowing then that the quiet new girl from a little town out in Arkansas, would over the years, become my fashionista penguin buddy (think her last name and Happy feet). She is the Thelma to my Louise, the friend I can always count on to be down to go to the beach and catch some rays on a whim, or just go have some fish tacos and drink down a coconut all while having a jam session in the car, belting out the lyrics at the top of our lungs while the car next to us just stares. She understands my love for oldies music. She and I have gone through a lot together, and, through it, all she has been there to support me for all of the big things. - N
Emery Brewton
Junior Bridesmaid
Emery is the daughter of my brother-in-law (brother-in-love) Jason and my sister Jennifer Brewton. She is my sweet and spunky niece and is perfectly that all the time. She is always down to get a vanilla steamer with me no matter the time or season. She is my favorite person to 'pretend cooking show' with, and she is never afraid to sing Disney songs with me out loud. Over the years we have made many memories while in the hammock, playing with American girl dolls, and enjoying a late night game of SkipBo. - N
Kennedy Drennon
Junior Bridesmaid
Kennedy (KB for short) is the daughter of my brother, Tim, and his wife, Megan, When I became part of the family, she was a little girl, and now she is a young woman. She is my little steak buddy, theater soul sister, lover of books, true thespian, and lover of tea and all things fluffy. Kennedy has always made me laugh, and I am so thankful that you still let me think I’m cool even when I try to do the “reverse worm” or sing “KB do you love me” to her. - N
Mirai Drennon
Junior Bridesmaid
Although Mirai is my niece, she is more like a little sister to me. She has lit up my whole world since she was five years old, marches to the beat of her own drum and always reminds me to be myself. She has taught me that it’s okay to be daring and creative and to always have a note pad and pen in my purse for a quick doodle. Over the years I have watched her grow up from a little girl into a beautiful smart young lady. Steven and I are so excited to share this moment with her. - N
Addison Whitworth
Flower Girl
Addison (“Addi-Cakes”) is the daughter of Jeff and Julie Whitworth, friends of mine from church. Addi and I have attended church together “ever since she was little” as she says and have gotten so close over these last two years. Addison is a sweet little girl who loves her little brothers and really cares for others around her. She is a light in our life, keeps us on our toes and is always ready to play a game of tag after church services are over. Addison has a gentle heart, and we are so happy she is one of our flower girls. - N
Jake Seifert
Ring Bearer
Jake is the son of our dear friends Brent and Jennifer Seifert. He is another one of our little church buddies. At any given time you can catch Jake doing something active. He has a heart of gold and is always happy to help others. Steven and Jake love to play with the football outside during fellowship time at devotionals. Jake never fails to keep us laughing. - N
Kinsley Albers
Flower Girl
Kinsley Albers is the daughter of Shane and Lacey Albers. She and I have been good friends since she was two years old. We attend church together and when I was in college, I would nanny for Kinsley during summers. Kinsley and I would go to the mall, play dress up, and watch tons of movies. Kinsley is my KK and I am her Koala. We both share a love for princess hair and all things pink. And now she calls Steven her Dragon. You are a Joy! - N
Wade Whitworth
Ring Bearer
Wade is the son of Jeff and Julie Whitworth. We attend church with Wade and bonded over our mutual love of donut holes; he is definitely one of the kids that keeps us young. We enjoy the time we get to spend chasing Wade around playing tag and laughing at all of his jokes he’s got a good heart and is very kindhearted. We love our little cowboy friend Wade-O. - N
Sean Shamgar
Best Man
I have known Sean for 7 years, since we were freshmen in high school. He’s my best friend I knew it since the first day of geometry. We were like 2 irons sharpening each other. There was nothing we didn’t compete against each other whether it was Grades, music, ROTC, athletics, you name it. At the end of the day, we were there for each other. He’s truly a great friend. P.s. I won most of the competitions against him -S
Jesus Bustillos
Groomsman
I’ve known Jesus for 9 years. Although, our friendship didn’t really kick off till 2 years later when we started high school. This guy is a math genius. He has always been a great friend and whenever someone is sad, nobody better to make you laugh. We share a mutual love of memes -S
Mark Gervias
Groomsman
I’ve known Mark since 4th grade. When I was younger would go over to his house like everyday. He has always been an awesome friend to me. He’s a computer wizard and always has been my Go to guy for all things gaming/tech. To this day, I still can’t beat him in Smash bros. -S
Ken Gervias
Groomsman
I’ve known Ken since I was in the fourth grade. Ken is Marks older brother and the kindest guy you’ll ever meet. Ken has always been very supportive. Don’t challenge him in DDR, you won’t win. -S
Xavier Williams
Groomsman
I’ve known Xavier since 1st grade. Honestly, our friendship really kicked off in 4th grade. During that time, I seriously was always over at his house. His mom was my second mom. We would play WWE and basketball all the time. If we weren’t doing that, then we were at Mark’s house having a nerf war. Xavier is such a humble and respectful guy. -S
Brian Miedke
Groomsman
Brian is my cousin that I have always looked up to for professional and financial success. I remember growing up being told how smart he was with his money and how hard he worked. I was always mesmerized by his work ethic and just how cool/calm he made it all look. Recently, I’ve put more effort into better knowing him and his family. Beside looking up to him (honestly thinking he was the golden child in the family), I didn’t really know him. Now I can say, he not just a cousin, but a true friend, Nina and I love to spend time with his wife Jill and son Sebastian we are so grateful to have Brian in our wedding. -S
Brent Seifert
Groomsman
I met Brent a little over a year and a half ago, but yet it feels like I’ve known him for much longer. He’s a great guy, huge family man, and a true spiritual leader. I’ve had many bible studies with him. I can’t speak more highly about him. He is a man that every guy should strive to be from his work ethic to his love for his family. -S
Tim Drennon
Groomsman
I met Tim Nina’s older brother a little over a year ago. He is a sharp guy with an even sharper wittiness. We get along well and enjoy visiting his family on the weekend. Nobody's spirit is more lively than his. We are fairly competitive against each other, especially when it comes to parking and board games. Tim is a great friend of mine and I strive to be a father just like him someday. - S
Ben Brewton
Usher
Ben is my nephew son of Jason and Jennifer Brewton. he is full of jokes and is as serious as he is funny. Steven and Ben have bonded over their mutual love of Star Wars, Math theories, video games, and even playing the trumpet. Ben is my go-to guy whenever I need to broaden my language. The older he has gotten the more we have become better friends. -N
Gabe Becker
Usher
Gabe is a great friend of ours. He is the little brother to our friend Meagan, he has the kindest soul and is always there whenever we need him. It has been a joy being able to watch Gabe grow from a little kid to a kind hearted young man. Gabe is the kind of friend who would give you the shirt off of his own back if you were cold. We are so excited that he is part of our wedding day. - N
Braden Bowman
Wedding Singer/ MC
Braden is one of my close friends that I met freshman year of Harding. He and I became friends and stayed friends throughout college. He always makes me laugh and is there when I need him. Steven and Braden have gotten to know each-other and have become friends as well it is special to us to have him singing on our wedding day. -N
