Anna & Jack
Wedding Party
Henry Wollam
Best Man
Henry and I have been best friends since we met in the 7th grade, yet friendship does not seem to encompass the brotherly bond that we share. On one occasion regarding an unfortunate skateboarding accident, this man has even saved my life. Nearly every special memory that I have growing up includes Henry. From spearfishing to bowhunting to adventures across Europe, we have developed an inseparable connection. As we move on into the next phase of life, Henry continues to make memories with me that will last a lifetime. He has taught me how to differ from someone while still loving them unconditionally, and he has challenged me to step out of my comfort zone on numerous occasions. I am grateful to have such a steadfast man as him standing beside me while I marry the woman of my dreams.
Kendall Newhouse
Maid of Honor
Since meeting at church at the age of four, Kendall and I have been inseparable. Despite having never gone to the same school, we have never let distance hinder our friendship. Kendall has been like a sister to me over the past eighteen years - loving me unconditionally and bringing joy and laughter to each moment spent together. Kendall has a heart for others, never ceases to pursue Christ in her actions, and is selfless beyond measure. Kendall has the most beautiful spirit of anyone I know; I cherish every memory I make with her due to her overwhelming passion for life. I am overjoyed to have Kendall stand by me as my maid of honor as Jack and I begin our next journey together!
Eric Huggins
Groomsman
Eric and I began our friendship during our junior year in college at Texas A&M University. After the numerous trips we have made to his family ranch, he and I cherish many memories surrounding hunting season. On one such occasion we killed, skinned, and ate a six foot rattlesnake. His laughter is contagious, and he has a passion for helping others which is made apparent through his occupation as an EMT and Firefighter. Among many other things, we share a love for the outdoors, fine whisky, and playing dominoes at the Dixie Chicken. I look forward to the many memories I have yet to make with Eric, and I am thankful to have a friend like him stand with me on my wedding day.
Morgan Traylor
Bridesmaid
Over the past six years, I have had the immense pleasure of getting to know Morgan's generous heart and radiating personality. She has been one of my most consistent and honest friends; I can always count on her to be there for me with an embracing hug, a good laugh, and a large Coca-Cola. She has been my person through every joyous moment over the past six years, as well as every heartache that has occurred. Morgan is a champion for others; she stands up for what she believes in which is a trait that I have always admired. I have no doubt in my mind that Morgan and I will continue to create memories over the course of our lives that are full of laughter and joy. I cant wait to have you stand by me on my wedding day!
Brody Burrus
Groomsman
After I started getting to know Brody during my Junior year at Texas A&M, I quickly realized that he carries with him a very unique presence. Anyone who knows Brody well knows that he has a heart as big as Texas; he invests deeply into each of his friendships, and without even trying, he brings joy to so many who have the pleasure of knowing him. I have enjoyed growing in friendship with Brody immensely during the past few years as we have journeyed through college together, especially during our many impromptu poker games and jam sessions. For these reasons and so many more, I am honored to have him as a groomsman.
Leah Mussleman
Bridesmaid
Leah is one of the most kind-hearted and loving people I know. God truly blessed my family when He brought her into my brother's life. There is no other woman I could imagine marrying my brother and calling a sister. Her passion for life and adventure is something that I have always admired. From road tripping to Washington, D.C. to kayaking in Hawaii, I have throughly enjoyed each moment spent with Leah. She brings humor, compassion, and selflessness to every aspect of her life which radiates to those around her. Because of these reasons and countless more, I cannot imagine my wedding without her standing beside me!
Tucker Behrhorst
Groomsman
Tucker has been one of my best friends for over 7 years. Although he constantly puts my life in danger with each new wild idea he comes up with, he is diligently devoted to lifelong friendship - thanks to our mothers' prayers, we have managed to stay alive so far. Tucker is the sort of person who will readily drive clear across Texas if it means he gets to spend just one evening with you, and he has done so many times since moving out to Midland last year for work. I have no doubt that Tucker will remain young at heart for all the days of his life, and sharing a friendship with someone who has such a vibrant passion for having fun in life is anything but monotonous.
Tanya Ittiruck
Bridesmaid
There are not many people on this earth as selfless and servant hearted as Tanya Ittiruck. Anyone who meets her can immediately feel her flaming passion for the world and everyone around her. After meeting Tanya through Fish Camp my sophomore year, we have grown to have a very special bond that is hard to put into words. I always know that I can rely on her for a smile that radiates pure joy, a hug that seems to make every worry disappear, and for words that are wise beyond her years. Tanya is a forever friend; a person that will be by my side for every high and every low. I am blessed beyond belief to have her support as I move into this new chapter of life.
Ryan Meyer
Groomsman
I have had the pleasure of knowing Ryan for over three years now, and I knew from the start that he would grow to become one of my closest friends. Many of the fond memories we share were made while living together in Clear Lake, Texas last summer when we took pleasure in sampling every brewery within the city and surrounding areas nearly every day after work. I admire how Ryan is always willing to lend an ear and offer his wisdom, and I admire that he reserves his primary focus for the close relationships he shares with others. I know confidently that our friendship will be lifelong.
Tarryn Glenn
Bridesmaid
I never would have guessed that moving into the Delta Gamma House sophomore year to room with a girl I barely knew, would end up giving me one of my best friends. After three years of living together, countless life talks at Chuys, and getting matching tattoos for the most beautiful reason, I cannot imagine my college career without this impeccable human. Tarryn is the type of friend that everyone needs in their life - supportive, kind-hearted, and prayerful. She has strength beyond measure and a heart that loves fiercely. I am thrilled to have Tarryn stand by me on my wedding day as I marry the man of my dreams!
Ethan Deschner
Groomsman
It is an understatement to say that Ethan is a generous individual with a heart for others. He is constantly willing to give up his time, attention, and resources for those he loves. What's more impressive is that he is willing to do the same for those he doesn't even know, as can be seen by the numerous hours he has spent volunteering at local hospitals in order to improve his expertise as a future doctor. Ethan is focused on perfection in the best way possible, and he will work relentlessly at his studies, profession, exercises, and friendships to ensure that they are all in the finest shape they can be. Because of this, what started as a close high school friendship between us has now developed into a rock-solid life-long relationship after sharing an abundance of experiences together.
Madi Breau
Bridesmaid
For as long as I have known Madi, she has poured joy and sunshine into my life. Her heart is filled with the compassion and love of Jesus Christ and she is always looking for the next opportunity to serve others. I am incredibly honored to have a friend like Madi in my life; someone who loves everyone around her with an unceasing fire. I can always count on her to make me laugh with her array of accents and her killer dance moves. Everyone who meets Madi can immediately see her passion for life that radiates through her joyous smile. I cannot imagine my wedding day without Madi standing by my side!
Christopher Ayres
Groomsman
Chris is as well-mannered and as polished as they come; he will often introduce himself using his full name while removing his cowboy hat, but when you find him in an environment where he can truly be himself, this man becomes the life of the party. This is often exemplified by his carefree dance moves and his honest interest in others. Furthermore, I have met few people in life who have a smile as genuine as his when he talks to you. Though his stock market investments have not always turned out for him, his investment into his friendships have made him the type of person you would go to in your worst moments, and he is this person for many people, including me. After a few years go by in his career as a petroleum engineer, you will likely find Chris as the next CEO of a fortune 500.
Alexis Abbott Moss
Bridesmaid
Alexis Moss, exudes Christ in all of her actions. Living with her during my junior year at Texas A&M truly showed me her tender heart that exemplifies what it means to love the Lord with your entire being. Her generosity and benevolence towards those around her is truly radiating. Everyone who has the pleasure of meeting her can vividly see her desire to assist and help others. I know that Alexis will be a lifelong friend; a friend that I will cherish through every mountain high and valley low that we experience. Her positive outlook on life and gleam for good has encouraged me for the past three years I have known her. I cannot wait to have you stand by me as I marry my best friend!
Jonathan Shine
Groomsman
Jonathan and I played well together as young boys. He never went too easy on me, but I am thankful for it because I toughened up quickly because of it. He is thoughtful, inquisitive, and enjoys engaging his mind with a healthy debate about nearly anything - just ask my parents. Five years my elder, Jonathan was always a significant role model for me as a boy and still is now that we are grown. Actor, inventor, and successful entrepreneur, Jonathan has made his own luck through hard work and creativity. More recently, he has excelled in his career as an electrical engineer at the virtual reality giant known as Oculus VR before later continuing with other engineering pursuits at a start up in Orange County. Did I mention he is single?
Alana Staudt
Bridesmaid
There are not many people out there who love others as hard and as passionately as Alana. Her selfless spirit goes above and beyond for those around her. Regardless of what is going on in her life, I know that Alana will be by my side with my best interest in mind. She is constantly beaming with happiness and has a laugh that is contagious. Alana has taught me an extraordinary amount about the love of the Lord and the compassion that everyone deserves. I would go with you (and the dogs of course) to a deserted island any day. My wedding would not be the same without your shining face standing next to me!
Michael Shine
Groomsman
Poet, teacher, musician, father, and husband, Michael Shine brandishes many impressive titles. Though Michael holds all of these roles in high regard, the title for which I am most thankful is his title as my brother. Even during the hectic life he lives as he works as a new teacher while caring for his wife and his newborn son, Ezra, Michael will still take time out of his day to call me up multiple times every week. It is thoughtfulness like this that portrays Michaels heart for others. We have enjoyed many moments together while talking about life, engaging our bodies with yoga, and beating up on our middle brother, Jonathan (although admittedly, Michael contributed significantly to these beatings).
Kendall Ritchie
Bridesmaid
After taking a chance and moving in with three girls she barely knew, Kendall, the soon-to-be Mrs. Hoog, became a vibrant part of our friend group and of my life. I am eternally thankful that she decided to move into the most precious house because senior year would not have been the same without her. Kendall is the friend that everyone needs in their life. She is constantly uplifting others and serving those around her. She has shown me the beauty in always being yourself, regardless of how goofy you may be. I know that I can rely on her to be there for me through every high and low that life throws our way, with a smile on her face and blueberry muffins in hand. Thank you for standing beside me on my wedding day!
Chase Mussleman
Groomsman
I am very thankful to have Chase as my newfound brother. Aside from his untapped skills as a musical prodigy, he is well known for his unmatched abilities in growing a fabulous beard, as well as his expertise when it comes to technical topics. Chase has built personal computers from scratch and currently supports his lovely wife Leah through his career in information technology.
Megan Schubert
House Party
Megan and I have been friends for as long as I can remember (literally...our moms where friends before we were born). She has a heart for others and cares deeply about everyone around her. She has strength beyond measure which is one of the many things that I admire about her. I know for certain that Megan is a forever friend - someone that will always be there for me no matter what. She always remembers the little things and goes above and beyond to make others feel special. I cannot wait for you to be apart of my big day!
Lydia Fielder
House Party
Lydia and I met the summer before our senior year of high school at a college experience program in Arkansas. Even though we have never even lived in the same state, we have managed to stay great friends over the past six years. Lydia is the type of friend that everyone needs in their life. She is incredibly intentional and has a heart that is constantly pouring into others. I can always count on Lydia to be graciously supportive and immensely humble. She's my hype woman. I am eternally thankful for her friendship and the joy that she brings in to my life. I am thrilled to have you be apart of my wedding day!
Hannah Pourfakhrai
House Party
Before Hannah and I became close friends junior year of college, I have to admit that I had a friend crush on her. Her spirit for life, sense of humor, and compassion for others was incredibly admirable. Hannah is now one of my role models and dearest friends. From senior year spring break in Las Vegas to late night Taco Bell runs, she has been a huge part of some of my favorite college memories. I am incredible thankful to have a friend like Hannah; someone who can always make me laugh, who loves me unconditionally, and who supports me always. Thank you for being a part of Jack and I's wedding day!
Chandler Romere Archer
House Party
Even though, we have been friends throughout all of college, Chandler and I became incredibly close during Delta Gamma Sorority Recruitment our senior year. Chandler is one of the most motivated and driven friends that I have. She is constantly striving to be the best version of herself while also encouraging those around her. She is courageous and never afraid to follow her dreams (like moving to Los Angeles to pursue dancing). I am certain that she will brighten my wedding day with her radiating smile and bad*ss dance moves!
Mallory Hancock
House Party
Last but certainly not least is the beloved Mallory Hancock! I was truly blessed when Mallory entered my life; she loves fiercely and cares immensely about her people. Everyone who has the honor of meeting Mallory can immediately see sunshine radiating from her. Her strength and drive to help others is seen through her chosen career path of being a lawyer and let me tell you, she is conquering law school. I cannot imagine my college experience without this sweet spirit. Over the past few years, we have a built a mutual love for My Favorite Murder, O'Bannon's, and wine. Thank you for being a part of my favorite day!
