Wedding Party

Sarah Phillips

Bride

"This box says, "Description of Sarah", and is not big enough to even scratch the surface of being able to describe such an amazing person... Sarah... The Star of the Show, the main character, my adventure partner, the spark to the fire, and most importantly... the love of my life! So so lucky to have a CHANCE at being able to call her my girlfriend, let alone my WIFE!!!" - Jordan

Jordan Patrick

Groom

“This man is always there when you need someone and is ready to help before you know you need help!! He is the one I can’t wait to call when something exciting, funny or mundane happens! I can’t imagine loving, honoring, adventuring with anyone else! We are a better team together than apart!” -Sarah

Rebekah Garner

Matron of Honor

No distance can keep us apart. A casual 3 hour facetime with little to no talking just because I need her there! I can always count on her for good advise (that I might or might not take). She is my go to and the one I love to talk through life with! People say family has to love each other just because they are family but she chooses to love me and I can feel her love everyday! She is an amazing sister, friend, wife and mom!! Our flower girl, Eleanor, is Rebekah and Matt’s Daughter!

Gregory "Greg" Ballard

Best Man

Greg and I met at the Louisiana Tech meet and greet where we discovered that I had already beat him once in a high school meet. Despite his loss, we continued to hang out and became great friends. As a teammate, classmate and roommate, there was not much that we didn’t do together during our college years. From climbing water towers, shenanigans during every track meet, and late night studying for engineering exams, we made a great team. Greg now lives roughly 5 minutes away from me, is a coworker of mine, and we continue to shenanigan, which is why he is my best man.

Hannah Thro

Bridesmaid

She is my go to when I need a good laugh! Growing up with someone means they know all your wrong turns and bumps. She knows it all, has seen it all, and she loves me through it all!! She is a stand by you, stand up for you friend! I played basketball with Hannah growing up, on and off the court we were a team! I loved playing basketball but I'm pretty sure I loved the friendships more than the sport haha I was able to stand by Hannah’s side earlier this year for her wedding and I and so excited to have her stand by me! No time or distance stops us from picking right up where we left off.

Dylan "Dilly" Patrick

Groomsman

My brother from the same mother, my actual homeboy, my first best friend... Our first meeting involved me marching in and taking back my toy that he had near him in the hospital room. Should have known we were in for it from there, ha. From him shoving me off a fort to inspiring me to better myself, he continues to surprise me on how great of a husband, father, friend, sailor, and person that he can be when he sets his mind to it. I am honored to have him by my side during my wedding and for the rest of my life.

Diamond Sears

Bridesmaid

She knows my worst and never ceases to love me with her best!! She has been my go to for all the hard things life throws my way! Through high school her house was my house, her family was my family, I would be at their house without anyone there! She was on the same basketball team as Hannah and I growing up! Life has taken us to opposite sides of the country but has so kindly brought us back together to both live in Little Rock!! Her love for the Lord and her love for her husband has encouraged and shown me what true love and commitment is!!

Justin "Quinn" Kelly

Groomsman

Met Quinn on the first day at Louisiana Tech when he kicked my tail in Super Smash Bros, Melee. This nerd turned out to be my next-door neighbor in the dorms and we have been great friends since. Bonding over all the sports and nerding out in engineering, our friendship grew. Although we continue to argue over little things, we partner up in running spartan races, share work stories, and talk about relationships. I am privileged to have such a friend in my life.

Hope Baugh

Bridesmaid

She knows how to get things done, always there when you need her! Her encouraging spirit and love for others has captured me! Everyone needs a Hope!! I met her soon after moving to Little Rock in 2019 in a bible study we both walked into and sat at the same table, not knowing anyone! God always knows what He is doing. Became friends through the study but when the study was over our friendship continued and has grown over the years!!

"Dr." Matt Garner

Groomsman

I want to first apologize for the quotes around the "Doctor" part. It is a joke; he is a legit doctor and can get you all the drugs @GarnerFamilyRX. As Sarah's brother-in-law, I did not think we would bond like we did. This man has not only become one of my good friends but has become a role model in my life on how to be a great friend, father, and husband.

Leigh Anne Chism

Bridesmaid

She keeps on giving and never stops listening!! Friendship with LA is a wonderful thing! Friends from day one, makes tough situations easier!! The same bible study I met Hope, I met Leigh Anne there too!! We all continued doing the various studies at church together and grew in our friendship through that! Leigh Anne was such a fast friend and now one of my closest and I am so happy to have her by my side!!

Paul "Paulie" Pearson

Groomsman

I met Paul in HS Track when I 3-stepped before him (hurdle term - its good to 3-step) and he was not happy with me. Mainly because it was the week of conference and my first time ever hurdling... From there, we went back and forth winning meets and breaking each others records. Even through some wild adventures (#ProjectPearson and wild camping adventures), Paul is a great model of a loving husband and a friend that I look up to.

Jenna Patrick

Bridesmaid

Dreamed of the day we would be sisters!! Look at us now! When I first met Jenna we were instant friends. Her authenticity through each conversation inspired me! Christmas 2020 Her and Dylan were dating(now they are married!!!) when I was dating Jordan and we were walking together and spoke the day into reality when we would marry those boys! Her Daughter Ellie is one of our sweet flower girls!

Richard "Ricky" Puloma

Groomsman

Soon after meeting Sarah, Ricky and I met on a float trip, where he swears he thought Sarah and I were dating then... We were not yet... That story is on the home page... Back to Ricky, he and I became friends soon after! Spending lots of time playing all the sports, playing all the Catan, bonding over Spongebob quotes, and enjoying dark beers, our friendship has grown. I am happy to have him by me when Sarah and I get married.

Fiorela Alfaro

Bridesmaid

She helps me keep on the right path, advises me in the truth of the Lord and encourages my heart! She can make fun out of any situation, and oh boy have we been in some situations!! She brings the best out of anyone she is around!! I met my sweet Fio in South Carolina in 2015 where we attended Evangelical Institute, School of Biblical Training (E.I) for 2 years! Since then I have been to Costa Rica to visit her and we have met back up in South Carolina almost every year since we graduated. She has been living in Turkey for the past 3 years doing amazing things for the Lord! Her next big move, in my opinion, should be to Little Rock (everyone please join me in prayer for that one) ;) I plan on doing many more trips with this awesome friend!! Wherever you go I go!

David "Dino" Paladino

Groomsman

Dino and I met after I moved to Little Rock through some mutual friends and immediately had a bond when I knew his cousin and her husband. From there, our friendship has grown through bowling leagues, late night Catan matches, and all the jokes from Letterkenny (a must watch show - not for kids...). He is a prime example of a "good-ol-boy" and I expect him to push me to live to that same standard for the years to come.

Josh Pullen

Officiant

Josh - a friend, a leader, and master of Dad Jokes. Josh is someone who will always be there for you when you need someone to help with any task, but will also be there in full support when you do things on your own. "I have women in my life who have poured into me from Gods word. Over a year ago I started praying for Jordan, that a man who loved the Lord would take time and pour into him!! God sent Josh! His love for people and love for the lord is evident in all circumstances. Josh has encouraged us in our relationship with each other and with the Lord. We couldn’t imagine having anyone else marry us!" - Sarah "I met Josh through some mutual friends and knew he was a great guy and someone I wanted to be friends with. It was not until he invited me to be a part of his small group that we became better friends. Not only did we grow into better friends, but he also pushd me to be a better person, friend, boyfriend, fiance, and now a husband. Josh has helped me find Jesus and continues to be a push for me to continue bettering me. Along with my groomsmen, Josh is someone who will keep me accountable in life and in my marriage." - Jordan
