Wedding Party
Sofie Pope
Matron of Honor
Friend of the bride and married to the Best Man (brother of the groom), Sofie is a loving mom to her daughter, Alice, and always knows how to make a conversation feel warm and effortless. When the music starts, she’ll be the one leading the charge on the dance floor! Fun Fact: She turns 24 on the day of the wedding! She also shared, “I’m mean on an Etch-a-Sketch and I have perfect pitch.”
Ted Pope
Best Man
Brother of the groom, married to the Matron of Honor, and proudly wrapped around his daughter Alice’s finger. Known for his great sense of humor and strong work ethic, he always brings joy and dedication to everything he does. Fun Fact: “I visited Zion three times in four years.”
Abby Foster

Fun Fact: “I may no longer be a Pope, but my husband and I had our marriage blessed by the Pope!”
Christian Foster
Groomsman
Brother-in-law of the groom, married to the groom's sister Abby. He’s the one who never fails to make daughter Cecilia light up, always prioritizing faith and family and leading by example.
