Wedding Party

Michaela Behrens

Maid of Honor

Michaela was one of my very first friends at Bethel! :) The Lord choosing her to be my suimate my freshman year is actually what I needed!! Our friendship quickly sparked from there, and has deepended immensely as we had the opportunity to experience our college years at Bethel together. The memories we have made together are endless, and walking together through each year that brought new joys, challenges, and opporunity to grow in our sisterhood spiritually and in our friendship. Mic has been such a faithful, loving, and consistent friend to me,and I am blessed by her God-fearing, tender spirit daily. I couldnt imagine getting married without her standing right there by my side on the big day!

Zach Miller

Best Man

Zach is my only brother and my best friend from the start of life. I'm thankful he always let me tag along with his friends as a younger brother growing up (even if I was annoying). We have always been in it together and our friendship has only grown deeper as we have grown older. From playing nerf basketball and BB gun wars to countless hunting trips and fishing experiences, we have had endless memories together (with plenty to come in the future) and I'm lucky to have a guy like him standing up there by me like he always has. He has always been an amazing supporter emotionally and spiritually for me and I'm beyond thankful for the brotherhood God has blessed us with as we continue through life encouraging and strengthening each other as iron sharpens iron.

Lauren Wassink

Bridesmaid

I first met Lauren when she decided to play soccer instead of basketball at Bethel her juinor year. Best decision she made, for both of us :) She was actually the one that told me that I should date Ty, and that clearly worked out VERY well!! Lauren and I roomed together my junior year. Our friendship really took off from there, including bonding over smoothies and shopping in those early days (we have since learned better budgeting :)). Her sweet, tender, and soft spirit has been such a blessing to my life. She has always been so intentionally about loving me in the best way right where I am at, and as been such an example to me ofwhat a Godly, loving wife looks like in action. I couldnt imagine getting married with her standing up there by my side!

Micah Kelley

Groomsman

My dude Mkell and I have been best buds since birth. Our childhoods were spent constantly together (usually competing against Zach in something). Whether it was playing sports, video games, watching the Grinch for the millionth time, or spending the night at Doc-O-Lake, we were always hanging out. We still laugh how I'd have to LET him win in Madden so that he would keep playing with me. Our friendship has continued to grow deeper despite the seperation of different colleges and us living far apart, and I appreciate him so much as a brother in Christ and the impact he has had on me in my relationship with Jesus.

Rachel Kanpol

Bridesmaid

Rachel & I met... well after my brother proposed! haha! Who needs to meet their future sister-in law before hand.. overrated!! ;) My brother is one lucky dude!! Their marriage has been such an example to Ty and I in living out such an intentional and loving marriage! From the day I met Rachel, she has taken me in as her little sis, and has poured out so much wisdom and support in all areas of my life!! Couldn't imagine the big day without her standing up by my side!

Matt Bennett

Groomsman

MB! Matt is my cousin and was basically another brother growing up with Zach and I. He was always the one to fear in the BB gun wars, and most summer nights were spent either at his house or with him coming over to ours. So many awesome memories of staying up way too late playing xbox/PS2 or camping whenever we could, MB has always been there with me in life as one of my closest friends and is still the one I trust the most with any form of firework or explosive.

Maia Kanpol

Bridesmaid

Maia and I go waaaay back. Aka, the day that I was born!! We are two peas in a pod. We are the loudest ones in the crowd, and are the ones in the family to be told "please quiet down" by our dad! We literally feed off each others energy, when one is crazy, so is the other one. She has always had my back as my older sister, even from far away. I couldn't imagine getting married, without her standing up their by my side!!

Jack Reed

Groomsman

Jack and I grew up knowing each other but didn't become extremely close until college. We found a common bond of loving to hunt and fish, which laid the groundwork for an incredibly deep and meaningful friendship that I appreciate so much. He is an awesome man pursuing the Lord and a great friend to have deep conversations with as we pretend like we are going to win the bass tournament we are in (it hasn't happened yet but someday it will). We also got a chance to live together this past year after graduation which has grown our friendship even more.

Merav Kanpol

Bridesmaid

Merav and I also go way back!!! She met me before I remeber meeting her...right when I came into this world actually:) Merav and Chris were always the calm, mature ones out of the sibs. They always balanced Maia and I out just in the right way!! She has always been such a sweet older sister to me; caring for me so well! As the baby of the family, my sisters have always smoothered and spoiled me in love. I couldn't imagine getting married without her standing up there by my side!

Justin Brown

Groomsman

Ohhh Brown Bear. My RA freshman year who invited me in (depsite me being an annoying freshman) and treated me like anyone else and not like he was getting paid to. I basically lived on his couch the second half of that freshman year and roomed with him the next two years until he graduated and left me. I appreciated our deep talks and his wisdom and constant friendship throughout college. Whether it was video games, college shennanigans, talking about knives and camping, or watching shows, we always enjoyed just hanging out together and I'm thankful for the lifelong friendship I know I'm always going to have with him.

Claire Freeborn

Bridesmaid

Claire and I first met when our brothers played travel soccer together. At that time, I was HUGE tomboy. I disliked everything "girly", and claire was the opposite. Its true, she thought I hated her, and I didn't want to hangout with her. So you could say we kept our distance in those early years ;). But then, we went to highschool together, and life looked a lot different!! We became two peas in a pod and developed a sweet sisterstood fast!! We were absoulte dorks together, and have some of the BEST memories together. Including taking about 500 selfies together until 3am in highschool because we thought we were "cute and cool" :) Claire has remained as such a faithful and life-giving friend in all seasons of life! I couldn't imagine getting married without her up by my side!

Will Stueve

Groomsman

My dude Suave. Will was the RA roomate my freshman year of college and our friendship began there. I wouldn't trade the video games played, countless shows watched, or late night food runs that ruined my body everytime for anything. Our similar personalities drew us together and that led to an awesome friendship throughout our years at Bethel together as roomates and into today even though he left me for dumb ole Texas. I could always count on Will to right there with me through anything amd bring a peaceful presence to any situation. Plus we could share in our painfully awkard experiences that seemed to always find us together and got plenty of good laughs out of them.

Julia Robison

Bridesmaid

Julia & I met in highschool, and developed such an intentional and sweet sisterhood right away! We both had the tendency to be a bit dramatic at times, but its what bonded us the most at times ;). We went through alll the things together in highschool, and learned so much about each other and ourselves through it all. We always told it how it was to one another, but knew it was in such love and out of the best intention. As a friend, she has always challenged me, and I've grown so much because of her timely and bold wisdom. She seeks Jesus with every ounce of her being, and has been such a light in friendship to me over the years. Although she went to college all the way in beautiful Cali, that hasn't changed our forever sisterhood. Couldn't imagine getting married without her by my side.

Ryan Lutz

Groomsman

My guy Ry. Lutz and I didn't meet until the end of my junior year of college because we both were in need of a roomate and our siblings recommened one another. We are very similar so living together was awesome (our room was seen as the chill out place for the floor as neighter of us would get too worked up). In that short year together we had countless deep talks about God, life, love, and everything in between. Lutz's friendship was and still is as steady as a rock and im thankful that it took only our senior year together to create and develop a friendship that will last a lifetime. Plus he gave me a new appreciation for The Office which was going in our room even when no one would be watching it.

Camden Wilson

Usher

Cam and I were roomates freshman year before he transferred out. Despite the short time we had together, our many pillow talks, time spent together trying to figure out how to college, and zombie walking to early morning practices sparked a deep friendship that continued on past the roomie days and still is something I value. He has always been there for me in the ups and downs. and his friendship is truly a treasure that I know will continue to grow as we get older. Plus he always knows the best Instagram captions for every situation.

Andrew Stine

Usher

Stiner. Stine and I grew up playing sports together which lead to an amazing friendship that continued beyond the court/field. We have plenty of memories playing Xbox way too late or competing together in basketball. I know I can always count on Stine to be there for me (even if it takes 20 phone calls to get hime to answer) and I'm thankful for the lifelong friendship I'll always have with him.

Will Abbott

Usher

Haven Urshel

Flower Girl

Sweet Haven's life has already blessed me so much, and her parents life as well:) Her momma was first my "babysitter" aka, my playmate, and now is a sweet sister-friend, and her dad is my "adopted big brother", they are awesome, and I can't wait to see this cutie walk down the asile as a flower girl!!
