wedding party
courtney
Maid of Honor
Courtney and I have been dreaming of this day for years. She's had the honor of hearing every thought, dream, tears, ranting session, and sleepless nights cause I convinced myself I'd be alone forever. She's the person I go to for advice, even when I don't want to hear the answer. She supports all my crazy decisions. I always know she'll be there with me through everything. She was the first to know when I knew, Ben was the one. She's been with me every step of the way. My unpaid therapist, my fellow book lover, my best friend, and maid of honor. Love you bunches and bunches ~ emma
dixie grace
Bridesmaid
Dixie Grace, I have way too much to say, but I’ll keep it short and sweet. Dixie is full of laughter and joy. My go to girl in any hour of need. She has been there through my lowest moments and brightest of times. Dixie has been a big sister to me since I was 12 years old. She is strong and full of love and grace (just like her name ;) I had the honor and privilege of standing beside her on her wedding day, and I cannot wait for her to stand beside me for mine! ~ emma
phebe
Bridesmaid
Phebe is my childhood bestfriend, and our families have been friends since as long as I can remember. I always knew since day one, she would stand beside me on this special day. She has been my roller coaster, electric scooter, swimming, surfing, and disney buddy. If Phebe was gonna do it, I was gonna face my fears and follow right along. I never felt like an only child growing up, because I had Phebs and her brothers there with me always. She is not only a bestfriend, but my family. I got to be in her wedding this past summer, and I’m stoked for her to be in mine ~ emma
macey
Bridesmaid
"Mace is my cousin, we're almost exactly a year apart! We didn't always get along growing up, because she never wanted to do the fashion show or play Barbie dream house the way I wanted... crazy right. But as we got older we became friends, and I wouldn't have it any other way. There is nothing like having family around. I cannot believe we're old enough for me to ask her to be a bridesmaid" ~ emma
everlie a'delle
Junior Bridesmaid
"I am crying writing this just like I did, at the hospital, the day she was born. Evie is my little cousin. I was the first to see her smile, changed countless of her diapers, ew, introduced her to my favorite Disney movies, and was her "favorite person in the whole wide world." Though she may be younger than me, I know she will always be one of my bestest friends!" ~ emma
evelynn + grayslynn
flower girls
My sweet flower girl chickas!!! I have known these precious girls since they were barely walking. I've got to watch them grow up, become big sisters, and become my little besties. They keep me on my toes, but fill my life with so much joy. They quickly loved Ben and were ready to take on their roles as our precious flower girls! ~ emmy
conrad
Ring Bearer
"My favorite little bubby in the entire world, I love being his "memmy" ! Conrad's sisters are our precious flower girls, and he will be the cutest ring bearer EVER" -memmy
elliott
Ring Bearer
"Elliott Kyloh is my little cousin. He is the funniest kid in the entire world, and a total stud! Cannot wait to see him be our Ringbearer ;)" -emma
Jack
Best Man
Jack has been my go to man since before I can remember. We pretty much grew up side by side. He's always been there when I needed someone to talk to and even though I've moved away, we keep in touch and are always able to pick up right where we left off when I moved off to college from Arkansas. I love this guy and the friendship we have! -Ben
Brenden
Groomsman
Oh Brenden. We met before school started at honor band with the intention of rooming together, but neither of us shared each other's information. Still somehow, we met the first week of school and have been going strong ever since. Brenden and I have so much in common and we have the most fun when we hang out. I'm so pumped for him to stand beside me on our big day! -Ben
Connor
Groomsman
My main mowing man Connor! That's an inside joke, but I love this guy. He's one of the best that there is around. Connor is so down to Earth and I've always admired his heart for Worship and how we've bonded through music so much over the past few years traveling in Ignite. If there's anybody that I could never get tired of, it's Connor Thomas. I can't wait to see where the years take us as friends! -Ben
Robert
Groomsman
I haven't known Robert the longest but he is one of my closest friends. We're able to be real with each other and we have the most fun times when we get together. We can be a little dramatic sometimes, but those times have made for some great memories! Robert is always down for a late night Whataburger run or quick trip to Goldfingers for lunch. He's such a giver and I'm so happy that he is a part of our special day. -Ben
Benjamin
Groomsman
Ben or Benji, as we call him, was my very first friend at UM. We chose to be roommates over three years ago just because we shared the same name. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made. I couldn't have randomly selected anyone better to go through college rooming with. We've shared so many great memories and Benji has always been there for me in some of my toughest times. I wouldn't be where I am without him. I'm so thankful for him to be up there with me on my wedding day. -Ben
Kaden
Groomsman
KAADDEENN!!! Me and this guy hit it off the very first day that I met him at Ignite camp. We both shared a passion for the drums and for worship. We've grown so close the past two years and I appreciate this dude so much for helping me grow and for pushing me to be better in everything that I do. I'm so grateful for this great guy! -Ben
Vocalists + Musicians
…
Music means a lot to us as a couple. We express our love through songs together. These are people that our special to us, that will share our love of music with you, on our special day.
sarah crotwell
Ceremony Vocalist
Sarah is so many things to me. She’s a role model and friend. I see her heart as a mother and her heart for worship! Her little crazy kiddos will be our flower girls and one of our ring bearers. It’s a great thing to have someone to look up to, and Sarah is that to me. We couldn’t ask for anyone greater, to sing the song that means so much to us “last time” during the ceremony! -emma
lauren pitts
singing bridesmaid
Lauren and I became friends in the funniest way. I pretended I knew her because we were friends on social media. She would hang out with me at work everyday, stayed so long I finally convinced her to work there. We went to open our own business together, which we ran for a year! We didn't stop at just working together, we also spent every waking moment, weekends, vacations, and attended the same church together. Even when we spend time apart, we pick up right where we left off! ~ memma
kelsey romine
singing bridesmaid
Kelsey is a one of a kind friend. She's always the life of the party wherever she goes! Back in 2021, Kelsey lived with us most weekends while visiting Brady, her then boyfriend, now husband, who was on staff at our church. They became like family quick! Brady & Kelsey are the brother and sister I never had, and always wanted! Kelsey will stand along side her husband as our wedding singer" ~ emma
brady romine
Wedding vocalist
Brady (or Bradley as I call him) is like a brother to me. We are oddly the same person in so many ways. Brady and his wife Kelsey mean a lot to me and my family. No Brady is not a bridesmaid, so nothing better then having Him open up our ceremony singing very special songs to us! -emma
adam rich
Musician
ADAMAN!!!! Adam was one of my four big brothers growing up. He was the one that always took care of me. Somehow I always ended up receiving piggyback rides when I was tired of walking. All of the Riches are veryyy musically talented, I was always jealous. Adam has grown to be an incredible musician, husband, and dad. I’m so excited to have him play at our wedding -emma
