Wedding Party
Emily Vergara
Matron of Honor
Emily and I have only been friends since 2022, but during that time she has become as close as a sister! We bonded over deep conversations, her selflessly feeding me amazing home cooked meals, and trash tv! Its like we were meant to be high school buds who lived down the street from each other, but in 30 something year old bodies. Ha! Her faith in God is quiet, but steady, and she is able to push through anything life throws her way with such honesty and dignity. She is the most supportive, loyal, caring and uplifting friend a girl could ever have, as well as an amazing example of a wife (for 22 years) and mother (for 18 years)! She is definitely someone I will turn to along the way on this new journey of becoming a wife, and hopefully a mother myself! It is an honor to have her stand right beside me on our special day!
Ashelynn Ray
Bridesmaid
Ashelynn and I have known each other since we were about 19 years old! I met her in a College and Career class at church, and even then, her and her now husband (of 13 years) have always been a consistent example of what true love looks like. They accept each other for who they truly are, while also encouraging each other to grow along the way. Ashelynn is steadfast in her faith, and has always been a reliable source of encouragement and support. She also is not afraid to speak her mind and give you a good "mothering" when you need it most. She is an amazing wife and mom, and definitely someone I have always looked up to in that way. She has seen me through many ups and downs through my singleness journey, and I am honored to finally have her stand with me!
Lindsay DeHoff (Bowman)
Bridesmaid
Bowman and I have known each other for over 20 years! We met at church right before high school, and we have been buds ever since. Our sense of humor together is unmatched, and we love to hate each other. I have seen this woman and her husband (of 9 years) go through some difficult times with such grace and unwavering faith, and it has been so inspiring. They are a couple I truly admire, and I want my marriage to reflect a consistent faith and trust in God, as well as a deep love and friendship through adversity. She has bloomed into someone I truly look up to in many different ways. She has also seen me through all the ups and downs of being single, and I am honored to finally have her stand with me, but also far away from me.... ;)
Lauren Ufferman
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I met at another friend's wedding 3 years ago, and have been best friends ever since! We connect on so many different levels, and we really have grown to understand each other. She is such a supportive friend, and is the best hype girl! I have also seen her blossom into an amazing wife (for 2 years) and mother, and she is someone else I look up to in how she carries herself through the world. Her passion for life and things she loves is infectious, and she is one of the most compassionate people I have ever known! Her desire to share Jesus with everyone she meets is inspiring, and we could all learn something from her! She is also very determined and creative, and able to make new friends everywhere she goes! I am honored to have her stand with me!
Tommy Green
Best Man
Tommy is not only my brother but my best friend. We have been through a lot together and even though he is my little brother, he has given me good dating advice, and has been there through the heartbreaks. I am honored that he gets to stand next to me!
Benjamin Green
Groomsman
Ben is my oldest nephew. I have seen him grow up into the handsome man that he is. I enjoy hanging out with him and sharing some of my wisdom with him. I am honored that he gets to stand with me on this wonderful day!
Jose Preciado
Groomsman
I’ve known Jose for 12+ years. We have worked with each other on and off for that same time. He is definitely my work bestie! I am honored to have him standing with me!
Jerry Anderson
Groomsman
Jerry is my best friend’s husband. Through that relationship, we have gotten to know each other very well! I am honored to have him standing next to me.
Trey Pearce
Officiant
Trey and I met in seminary and been best friends ever since. He keeps it real and gives me advice that I NEED to hear not what I want to hear. He’s been there to encourage me and gives me spiritual advice. He was going to be my best man, but I thought it would be a real honor to actually have him officiate instead! It’s an honor to have my best friend to officiate the wedding!
Liam Pearce
Ring Bearer
Liam is my two best friends’ (Trey & Rachel) oldest son! He is my “Little Buddy!” I love him to death and honored that he is our ring bearer!
