Matron of Honor
Katie is my sister, but most importantly, she is my closest friend. Our memories are filled with lots of Taylor Swift, dancing, and sweetness. Katie is the most driven and hardworking person I have ever known. She is my hero. Katie holds a place in my heart that no person could ever replace. She inspires me to improve every day and I couldn't ever imagine my life without her!
Best Man
I have known Beau longer than anyone else in the wedding party. The reason being that he is my older brother! Whether it was playing the original Lego Star Wars game on the Xbox or running around outside with sticks for guns, Beau has been there since the beginning. It doesn't matter if he lives two rooms down the hall, a few miles down the road, or hundreds of miles away in Florida, he will always be my brother.
Maid of Honor
Ally is, quite inarguably, my best friend. Ally was the first person that hugged me right after I accepted Christ in 2016, and she has never left my side since! Ally can best be described as a faithful and loving servant of the Lord. She fills my life with laughter and constant encouragement. It's impossible not to feel loved around Ally. It has been an absolute joy to be friends with her!
Best Man
Tristan Spuller! I met this man when he showed up as a youth leader in my youth group when I was a freshman in high school. And man, there's none like him. Tristan has been one of the most consistent people in my life for the past six years. He is not only one of the most encouraging people I've ever met, but if there is ever a need that needs met, you can bet that Tristan will be the first to be there!
Bridesmaid
Briella is my niece, but I will always say that she is the little sister that I have always wanted! Briella and I have grown up together and she has filled my life with the best kind of humor, silliness, and love! She can make anyone smile because her personality fills the room with joy! I can always count on Briella to lift my spirits, she brings me so much joy, and I am so proud of the beautiful human being she has bloomed into! It has been a blessing to have Briella in my life!
Groomsman
I met Tyler through playing football in middle school, and our friendship really formed through our time together in youth group. Not only do I share a name with the guy, but I also share some of my fondest memories with him. Whether it's playing late night video games or just driving around listening to Kaleo in his big 'ole truck, it is never a dull moment. We spent many days and many laughs at our lunch table in high school, and I wouldn't trade that for the world. Tyler McKenzie is the kindest soul around, and he without a doubt gives the best hugs!
Bridesmaid
Anna and I became friends the year that I accepted Christ when I went to Momentum Youth Conference with her youth group and we've been close ever since! We were even roommates at Grace College our freshman year! Our friendship has consisted of many long drives from Pennsylvania to Indiana, an innumerable amount of trips to Taco Bell, and many late night deep conversations filled with laughter and tears. I am so thankful for Anna and the love she has brought into my life!
Groomsman
Dylan Owens. My man. Dylan is one of my best friends since high school, and he spent those fantastic days at lunch with Tyler McKenzie and I. If there are two things I can tell you about Dylan, it's that he is a very caring guy, and that he will make you laugh like none other. If you haven't met Dylan, do it, because you're missing out! He will always be like a brother to me, and I will be forever grateful for his friendship.
Bridesmaid
Hannah and I's friendship formed while attending Grace College and through leading a small group of middle school girls together! Hannah is the kind of person that feels like sunshine, she is always joyful, loving, and represents God's grace in all that she does! Hannah has been a constant encouragement in my life and is the the kind of person that I aspire to be like! She is merciful, humble, and is a friend I know that I will have for life!
Groomsman
The Oster Toaster. Grant is a great friend with some great hair. I have known Grant for about three and a half years now after we met on a ministry training trip in high school. Sadly, Grant lives across the country, but has the unique ability of picking up any conversation right where he left off, no matter how long ago it was!
Bridesmaid
As the pattern continues, Carly and I also met on Operation Barnabas! Although we were on opposite teams, our friendship still managed to find us and grow into a beautiful thing! When I think of Carly, I think about all our nature walks, all our late night talks in Alpha Hall at Grace College, and all of our midnight adventures to Walmart while we were running on zero energy. Carly has filled my soul with joy and has always been there to comfort and encourage me. I will always be thankful for the friendship and joy that she has brought into my life!
Groomsman
Trevor Stichter is a joy of a person. Yes, I have I worked for his parents for over three years, but more importantly, I have made a great friend. I have known Trevor for a long time, since he was a good friend of my brother's in middle and high school. In my eyes, Trevor moved from just being a friend of my brother's and into being a dear friend of mine. In addition to that, our movie Monday's on Thursday's are a force to be reckoned with.
Bridesmaid
Cassie and I met on Operation Barnabas and, despite our shy and introverted introduction, quickly became great friends! Ever since we met, Cassie has been there through tears, heartache, laughter, and joy! She is a calm spirit and a reliable friend! I will always hold tight our friendship, coffee dates, and deep talks. I hope we always live by each other so our kids can grow up together! I always want her in my life!
Groomsman
Noah Twimbleton, as we call him, is my brother from another mother (Mindi). We met at church sometime in our middle and high school years. Since then, I have spent much time with him getting lost in deep wholesome conversations that encourage me to pursue my relationship with God more and more. Whether it's making music or going for walks in the woods, it's hard to not thoroughly enjoy an adventure with Noah.
Bridesmaid
Sophie, wow. I can't think of another person more generous, loving, and full of grace. I met Sophie on Operation Barnabas and from our first interaction, I just knew we'd be great friends! We may not get to see each other that often, but every time we do, we pick up right where we left off! My most favorite memory that I have with her is sitting in a Kayak on Pike Lake talking about Jesus while watching the sunset. Sophie is near and dear to my soul!
Groomsman
Cole Pfender is such a pleasant human being. I met him when he started helping out at our youth group when I was a junior in high school. After I graduated, he went from youth leader to dear friend. Cole moved in with me for about four months when COVID hit, and that sparked a beautiful growth in our friendship. Cole is a man of respect, and is one of the easiest people I've known to just sit around and laugh with. If you ever come across Cole, ask him to throw up a peace sign with his left hand, it's a good time.
Bridesmaid
Katie is one of the most welcoming, giving, and kind human beings on this planet! Katie and I became friends when I moved to Warsaw, and now we work together! She has a beautiful way of making people feel loved and important just by being who she is! Katie never fails to seek out the good and the joy in every circumstance of life, and that inspires me daily. I'm so very thankful for her friendship!
Groomsman
Kevin! What a guy. Kevin's claim to fame is that he was born three days before me. He is not only my closest cousin in age, but is also my closest cousin in relationship. Kevin and I are very similar in many ways, and have grown very close over recent years. Any time I spend with Kevin is a blessing to my day. He also knows more fun tricks than anyone I have known.
Bridesmaid
Tedra Spuller. What an absolute gem of a human being! Tedra and I became friends when I moved to Warsaw, and she was one of the first people to quickly welcome me to our friend group! Even though we are both bad at planning hangouts, she has always been there to reassure me, to have a deep talk, and to just fill my life with laughter and joy. Tedra is driven, goofy, and loves God and people so well. I'll always be thankful for this beautiful soul!
Groomsman
Keaton Schenck is one of those guys that I unfortunately don't get to see as often as I'd like to, but any time I do it's like we saw each other yesterday. Keaton has been around for some very impactful growth periods in my life, and when I think of people that God has used to encourage me in my walk with Jesus, Keaton is up there on the list. Also, the man is an insane musician.
Flower Girl
Kailyn is my sweet and silly niece! Kailyn has a heart for animals and is always up for an adventure! Being her Aunt is an absolute blessing and she gives the best hugs!
Ring Bearer
Andrew is my kind, funny, and imaginative little brother. His favorite pass time is playing pretend, so when I asked if he wanted to dress up as a security guard with his favorite cousin for a day, we jumped for joy!
Flower Girl
Lucy is my daring and fearless niece! She is a girly girl at heart, but will try anything without fear! Being her Aunt brings me great joy, and she never fails to make me smile!
Ring Bearer
Kai is my spunky but loving little cousin. He is always quick to run up and start an impromptu karate match with me, but is quicker to give me a hug when he accidentally kicks me too hard in the shin.
Officiant
Shawn has played a huge role in both of our lives! He has been a devoted mentor, and friend. He is always ready to give Godly advice, encouragement, or a sarcastic comment (his specialty). His deep love for ministry is something that has helped to keep our hearts on fire for God and his church. He, and his wife Alex, have been there since before the start of our relationship, and have walked with us through all the highs and lows. Shawn is the kind of person that we know we will always have a friend in. We are so honored to have him officiate our wedding! We wouldn't want anyone else!
