Wedding Party

Bethany O'Tremba

Bride

Tiana Yates

Matron of Honor

Tiana is Bethany's older sister by 10 years. Even as she went to college, got married, and had two kids (with one on the way!), she has always been present in Bethany's life for moments big and small. She's shared in family chaos, given good advice, and been a source of non-stop laughter. Tiana is outgoing and selfless and never afraid to speak her mind. When a challenge arises, she doesn't back down. She knows how to highlight other people's strengths and makes sure they are well cared for. She has taught Bethany the value of work hard and how to enjoy every moment. She is a great example of a godly woman, who serves her family faithfully with kindness. Her dedication to attending church and studying the Bible have encouraged Bethany to approach God with the same love and devotion. After helping Bethany get ready for school dances, graduation, and other weddings, she will now be there to help Bethany prepare for the big day!

Adree Baker

Bridesmaid

Adree and Bethany met their freshman year of college and quickly became best friends. Bethany had been praying for a strong Christian friend and God faithfully provided. Adree has a steadfast love of God that pours into every area of her life and has been an instrumental part of Bethany's own relationship with the Lord. Even though Adree and Bethany have only known each other for three years, they consider one another kindred spirits and are as close as sisters. Adree brings a burst of joy to any conversation she enters into and has a sweet heart for everyone she meets. She has a creative mind that is always seeking to learn and read. She is talented at art and music and has one of the loveliest singing voices. She could talk for hours about Lord of the Rings but could just as easily take you down in a free-throw competition. She and Bethany have shared countless inside jokes as well as tear-jerking conversations. Adree is now married to Brayden Baker and has baby Daisy as a recent addition to their family. They frequently invite Cory and Bethany into their home to have dinner, play endless hours of pinochle, and for fruitful conversation, as their friendship and fellowship deepens.

Jenna Green

Bridesmaid

Jenna and Bethany met their freshman year of college in Billings while attending/serving in their on-campus ministry group. They soon became friends and are now roommates and attend church together. She has lent a listening ear many times in the short while they have known each other and is never short on smiles or an encouraging word. She is constantly brightening Bethany's life through laughter, flowers, and coffee. She is always supportive and all in for anything! If you ever have the privilege of befriending her, you will be sure to receive Christ's love through her and be motivated by her heartfelt pursuit to grow in Him.

Aubrey Peterson

Bridesmaid

Aubrey is one of Bethany's oldest friends from high school that has remained close at heart, despite distance and time. She is a committed friend that holds true to her word and is willing to help whenever someone is in need. She has been Bethany's hype-woman throughout sports, school plays, first dates, and life changes. Aubrey and Bethany have spent many hours laughing in the car, eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and traveling. She is an amazing artist and photographer that uses her talent to bless those around her and she is always ready to try something new. She is sweet but has a spicy side that reveals her boldness and determination. She has been an enormous blessing in Bethany's life and has helped her survive the terrors of high school and all that comes after.

Sydney Boaz

Bridesmaid

Sydney is the sister of the groom and quickly growing friend and sister to Bethany. She lives in South Carolina where she teaches 5th grade and goes on adventures with her boyfriend Matthew. She has a deep and unshakeable love for her family and seeks to serve them every chance she gets. Through her amazing photography skills and vintage polaroid, she captures significant and everyday moments that will preserve wonderful memories. She is constantly on the move and finding new ways to enjoy this beautiful world. She and Bethany have not spent consistent time together due to distance, but whenever they do get together, there is laughter and joy. Bethany is so excited for the blessing her presence will be on the day of, as well as the opportunity to get to know her more in the years to come.

Cory Boaz

Groom

Brayden Baker

Best Man

Brayden has been one of Cory's best friends for the last couple years. He met him in Cory's junior year of college, and brought the Gospel to him. Since that day Brayden has been an awesome teacher, friend, and pinochle player with Cory. He joined Cory on his mission trip to Kenya in the summer of '23 and through the hard lessons learned, joyful songs being sung and endless amounts of late night convos, they have a friendship that is built on stone. Brayden is married to Adree Baker and they recently had a beautiful little girl in February. Though Brayden is going through online seminary, leading the youth group at his church, preparing sermons for Sunday school, and taking on fatherhood, you will never see him so much as to complain about stubbing his toe. He is filled with the hope of the Lord, and he is a light and encouragement to all those he speaks with. Cory is blessed to have such a good friend in his life to drink coffee with, play guitar, talk theology and quote endless amounts of wisdom (or not so much) from Michael Scott.

Brett Boaz

Groomsman

Brett is Cory's favorite brother. He has always been there for Cory being only 2 years older. Growing up, they would spend their summers learning how to build new things, play made up sports in the backyard, create new worlds with legos and other games, and get into the occasional boxing match. Brett was always coming up with new ideas, and Cory always followed in his footsteps. It is no wonder Cory is always trying to figure things out, or enjoy the glory of creating something from his own hands, he gets that from his brother. Brett was always someone he looked up to, and the fact that Cory is a pilot owes a lot to Brett's own interest in the topic. Brett has not ceased to be the mentor to Cory as they have left home. Brett's discipline, strength, humor, and wisdom is still something Cory looks up to and longs for. Though they have spent the majority of the last 7 years living on opposite sides of the country, the bond between two brothers cannot be broken easily, and it is always a joy when the two come back together.

Mason Powell

Groomsman

Where does one begin to talk about Mason Everett Powell? Do you start with his extreme manliness? His wisdom and knowledge? His laughter and awkwardness? Mason has been one of Cory's dearest friends in college, and has shaped him more than possibly any other man. He is currently living in St Louis with his lovely wife Mychal, studying the beautiful things of God at Covenant Seminary. When he was in Billings, Mason discipled Cory and trained him up to be a more disciplined, humble, loving man. Though he did do this through great wisdom and advice, the most effective thing that Mason did was to show Cory what it actually looks like to live a life that loves God and loves people. Mason is one of those guys that you never want to bet money on any competition you're doing with him. Whether it is baseball, basketball, pickle ball, pingpong, corn hole, or any other random game that he learns, he will whoop you silly. Though Mason left Billings to go to the big city, he continues to impact the lives of people all around him.

Gabe Gonsioroski

Groomsman

Gabe has been Cory's friend and roommate for the past 4 years. They met freshman year and were both in the aviation program at Rocky. Right now Gabe is awaiting training for Republic, a regional airline, and though Gabe might be living on the east coast for a while, we all know he will meander back west at some point. If there is any question Cory got more from Gabe it would be these two: 1) "What song is this?" and 2) "Where did he go to college?" Gabe is a walking google with his knowledge of airplanes, sports, music, ranching, Montana stuff, etc. Road trips are never the same when you don't have someone asking you what mountain range or river that is. All that aside, though Gabe knows more than most people will forget in their life, he is also one of the kindest, strongest, and most encouraging friends that Cory has. An easy way to describe Gabe is a man of character. He is a man easy to trust, steadfast in his beliefs and convictions, and earns the respect of all. It's an honor to have a man stand by your side on your wedding day who holds such integrity.

Landon Clegg

Groomsman

Landon Scott can be described as a Jack in the Box. When you meet him and start cranking, you might think you have seen all of him, and there's nothing he can do to surprise you...then BAM! Day in and day out he stuns you with his goofy personality, wisdom of the Bible, hobbies that you didn't know existed, extreme boldness and lack of fear, and then tells you he wakes up at 3am to clean the McDonald's ice cream machine. Landon has been a great friend to Cory in college. He is an extremely humble man, who has the work ethic of a draft horse, is very smart, and will always be by your side. Landon has been one of Cory's most loyal friends, seeing Cory in his good and his bad, persevering through Cory as his instructor, and dealing with him trying to explain all the things he is learning. All jokes aside, Landon is a man who will never betray you, he is steadfast in his convictions and always makes the room a little bit brighter.

Vaeda Yates

Flower Girl

Vaeda Jane is Bethany's niece and daughter of Tiana. She is three years old and one of the kindest kids you could meet. She brightens the lives of those around her through her generosity and laughter. She is passionate about dance and all things Disney princesses, and her Auntie B is happy to oblige her with a movie and snacks, anytime. Just like her mama, when she sets her mind to something, she follows through, and she will be the best petal thrower you've ever seen!

Duncan Yates

Ring Bearer

Duncan is Bethany's nephew and son of Tiana. This one-year-old is a roly poly bundle of joy with a smile that's hard to say no to. His little giggle is infectious, and he already is vigilant about folding his hands and praying before each meal. He's not much for cuddling, but would rather be where the action is, playing with a ball, or chasing his cat, Beans, around the house. He immediately puts any and everything into his mouth. So we'll see how he does at being ring bearer...
