Wedding Party

Andrew Barfell

Best Man

Fru Almanza

Maid of Honor

My very first best friend, Fru. (Yes, that’s her name.) Middle school, high school, college, adulthood, we have always called each other “best friend.” Fru is gentle, the BEST listener, and a steadfast comrade. We still make sponge bob jokes, still call to talk about boys, still have sleepovers, and still remain there for each other through thick and thin. She’s a soft lavender beauty. Fru just graduated with her degree in Psychology from West Chester. She’s going for her master’s here soon, and we all can’t wait to call her Dr. Fru one day!

Eric Barfell

Best Man

Sarah Fornwalt

Bridesmaid

My day one dude. Sarah is my younger sister, just 18 months apart. We often talk about how incredibly similar we think, yet couldn’t be more different! She has always been a scarlet, burnt orange hue to me, vibrant but mellow. She’s in school to be a social worker, she sleeps more than anyone I know, and loves to care for others.

Rebekah Armstrong

Bridesmaid

Bekah is my adventure buddy. So bubbly and so sweet. She takes me new places, shows me new things, and she’s just a VIBE. Bekah is a pastel blue, and an ocean of laughs. She just graduated with a degree in psychology from PBAU and lives in her own hand-built she-shed. I don’t think she could get any cooler.

Emily Fornwalt

Bridesmaid

Emily is the youngest of the Fornwalt girls. She’s 16 and an absolute force of nature. Dad calls her my “mini-me.” She’s always doing something crafty, whether it’s making earrings with political statements on them (😂) or painting or doodling or whatever. She is such a deep violet, such a present person. Emily’s going to be a senior in high school in 2021, and we all can’t wait to see what she does next.

Kelsey Gentille

Bridesmaid

Kelsey is my sister away from home. Our boyfriends were friends... then we became friends... then roommates... then the closest sisters in Christ. Everyone who knows Kelsey knows what I mean when I say she radiates a yellow, joyful light. Kelsey works and lives in Columbus with her husband, Braden, who is also in our wedding party.

Kaitie Barfell

Bridesmaid

Kaitie is John’s older sister, but I’m claiming her as my own. She is adventurous and free-spirited and being around her makes me want to be like her. She’s a field of sunflowers in July, a powerful beauty! Kaitie just graduated nursing school in Chicago, where her boyfriend Julius is a Police Officer.
