Hannah & Russell
Wedding Party
Annie Jay
Maid of Honor
Annie has played multiple roles in Hannah's life. Starting as the little tiny baby that showed up one night and took Hannah's spot in mama's bed, Annie quickly became Hannah's enemy. 12 years later, not much had changed. Hehe! BUT fast forward to their junior/senior years of high school and suddenly the two were absolutely best sister buddies forever! Annie helped Hannah figure out marching band and how to navigate the halls at school. They looked out for one another at sports events, church and prom. They became Travel Buddies that year! Africa, Alaska, Hawaii, Colorado, the grocery store, the Appalachian trail, the Arizona trip when Russell proposed etc. Hannah doesn't like going places without her little sister and she will definitely not walk down the aisle without Annie by her side.
Judah Horst
Best Man
Judah and Russell met about 6 years ago through mutual friends. They quickly became friends over their shared interest in tree work, bible studies and working out! Russell was one of Judah's groomsmen and the two shared a roadtrip to the cold northcountry of Maine as well as a memorable trip from Colorado (where Judah was and is still living) to Pennsylvania for Judah's wedding. They ended up getting snowed in on the turnpike for two days. Judah and his wife will be welcoming their first child this July and we are grateful to have them as role models and friends.
