Kendra & Tobias
Wedding Party
Molly Esbenshade
Matron of Honor
Molly and I met at our church's young adult group. After quickly bonding over our love of Disney World, she became such a close friend of mine. So much so that we moved in together and lovingly refer to each other as "roomie". Molly has seen Tobias and I's journey from the very beginning and has been nothing but supportive and loving throughout our entire friendship. I had the honor of being Molly's maid of honor in her wedding and I couldn't ask for a better person to stand by my side as I marry by best friend!
Emily Schoenleber
Bridesmaid
Emily is more than just my cousin. She has been like a sister to me my whole life. Whether it was running our snack shack at a yard sale or trying to beat our brothers at their own games, she has been a constant source of advice in my life and I can't wait to celebrate with her!
Megan Heidebrink
Bridesmaid
Megan is my best friend from college. There are countless memories with her that I will treasure my entire life. She's been such an intentional and consistent friend in my life. Megan loves the people in her life so well. Thankfully, I get to see her every year when I attend a conference in Florida so even though we are apart, we come together again. Megan is a true friend. I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in her wedding and now she's going to be by my side!
Bria Zook
Bridesmaid
Bria is one of my longest friends! Her and I grew up in church together. It all started with me asking her for a hair tie. Here we are almost 10 years later and we are still best friends! If I need someone to laugh with, she's my girl. No matter how much time goes by between my visits home, I always love to see her.
Kara Wiley
Bridesmaid
Kara and I grew up in church together, attended Liberty University where we were roommates our senior year, and moved to the same area after college. It's safe to say that we have been through a lot together. No matter how much time passes, we can always come back together and pick up right where we left off. I have the honor of being in her wedding this year and I can't wait to have her by my side as I say "I do"!
Sierra Krueger
Bridesmaid
Sierra and I met through a young adult group I used to go to when I first moved here. Not only is she hilarious, but she is very intentional with keeping up our friendship. Whether it's a movie night, ice skating, or girls night out, Sierra is someone I genuinly enjoy being around. I had the honor of being a bridesmaid in her wedding last June. Now it's her turn!
Sara Kopp
Bridesmaid
Sara was the most unexpected blessing of a friend. I refer to her as my "boujee bestie" because she's always down for awesome experiences or treating ourselves. She is also very intentional and generous. She is someone I can always go to for anything.
Conrad Esbenshade
Best Man
Conrad, the man who doesn't think twice about judging your incorrect usage of any word... Conrad's my chicken farmer friend who has spent numerous hours talking late at night about various subjects, from theology to general life. I may have forgotten his name 3 times at church when I first met him, but I think that sealed the deal! He has been my Friday breakfast pal for about 5ish years now, and I'm looking forward to many more. I appreciate the time you have put in and I look forward to spurring each other on as men of God. A Man that I can fight beside. A Virtuous man. Goodness.
Andrew Day
Groomsman
Hmm... Andrew... The childhood friend of mine who left Mount Joy and abandoned me to live in North Carolina... Andrew has been a friend of mine since around 2013. He has made remarkable growth in his walk with God in the past few years I'm proud of his humility and motivation to live a changed life. We have spent many hours talking on the phone about general life and hope we can continue to stay in contact down the line. I wish you were over here my friend, but God has his own plans for you right now.
Colin McBeth
Groomsman
Oh boy, this guy... Colin, the man who takes 10 to 14 business days to respond to you. Colin is a good buddy of Mine who meets me for breakfast on occasion, he is a great listener and a great encouragement. I had the honor to be part of his wedding as a groomsman. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. Something I appreciate the most is the gentleness that he gives people.
Joel Burkholder
Groomsman
Joel... You know, you never quite know what he is thinking behind that big smile of his. My interpretation is mischievous... Joel is a man who knows how to ask great questions and is undoubtedly selfless. Joel is a friend who cares, he will get to know you and ask you for updates on things you have talked to him about. Joel has made me feel very welcome when I first started to get to know him. Truly a genuine guy and a wise one at that. Also, he is secretly a great catch, so if you're single Joel's your guy.
Reid Burger
Groomsman
Watch out! He might make you play a board game that takes 3 hours to play... Reid is a bundle of fun, he has a collection of board games just to make sure you can tell.. Reid has hosted many fun nights at his apartment for us all to be a part of. He is full of Joy and a overall great person to be around.
Chris Ginder
Groomsman
Warning, Chris will not hesitate to steal your man, do not let him near your male significant others. Chris is someone who is caring and will seek you out if he thinks something is up. Chris and I have been on a few biking adventures and some fun hikes. If you want to do an outside activity more likely than not Chris will tag along with you.
