Ryan and Kelsey’s Wedding
Wedding Party
Madison Hart
Bridesmaid
Madison! She inspires me with her love for animals, and her easygoing perspective on life. We have the same crazy sense of humor which is amazing because she has a spectacular laugh! I love hearing her heart about situations, and it’s so cool to see her trusting in the Lord with everything! Madison and I met in YWAM, and we also went on our missionary outreach trip to Cambodia together. I treasure the moments of doing ministry with this girl! She’s so brave. Though we also live in different states, we have continued to keep in touch through technology! One of my favorite things about Madison is that she fully knows how to have genuine and pure fun. Madison is so talented and I’m just so blessed to be her friend! I cannot wait to get married and have you as a bridesmaid! I love you Madison!
Madeline Sears
Bridesmaid
Madeline is such a gem. She was my roommate during our lecture phase of YWAM, so I had the honor of rooming with her for 3 months! Madeline really has a generous and caring heart. I’m so happy to have met her in Colorado Springs! We have memories together that will always bring a smile to my face! Through late night chats, hysterically laughing walking through Target, and taking cute photos together, our friendship has grown. Even though we live in separate states, we’ve stayed in touch through technology! I love our FaceTime chats! Madeline is a wonderful lady, and I’m just simply blessed to have her in my life. Madeline is wise beyond her years, and I’m always astonished with her love for the Lord! I’m honored to call her my friend and now my bridesmaid! I love you Madeline!
Rachel Gorski
Bridesmaid
Oh my sweet Rachel. I met Rachel in YWAM, and she is the friendliest and most spunky Jesus loving girl I know! Rachel and I were bunk-mates during the lecture phase of YWAM, and I couldn't be more thankful for having the privilege of knowing her. Rachel loves others SO WELL. She has an incredible passion for missions. I have fantastic memories of climbing trees to have the deepest of conversations, and waking up super early to go swim laps in an outdoor community pool. Rachel knows how to go on grand adventures, and she knows how to have pure fun. She is a great storyteller, and she inspires me to dive deeper into the Bible. Even though it has been a couple of years since I've seen Rach, I cannot wait to give her the biggest hug of all time and for her to be a part of my bridal squad!
Dakota Glock
Bridesmaid
I met Dakota through YWAM, and believe it or not, she’s one of my best friends now! Through Bible studies, serving together, having long conversations, and laughing until we can’t breathe, our relationship has grown! Dakota always has an opinion about something, and I’m giddy every time to hear what she has to say. She is strong in her faith and she works so incredibly hard. Since Dakota lives in a different state, our friendship has been long distance for a couple years now. I cannot wait to see Dakota again for all of the wedding festivities, and to have a friend reunion! I’m so happy to give her the title of bridesmaid! I love you Dakota!
Lacey Gray
Bridesmaid
Lacey and I have grown up together. We were classmates in elementary, middle school, and high school, and we also graduated from Heartland together! Lacey has a most amazing sense of humor and can bring a smile to anyone’s face! I will always treasure our heart-to-heart chats and sleepovers. She’s such a strong woman, and I have always admired her for her passion! I’m so happy to have her as one of my bridesmaids and I can’t wait to break it down on the dance floor with her! I love you Lace!
Corey Butterbaugh
Bridesmaid
I am just simply amazed by my lil sis! (Not blood related) Corey and I both went to Heartland Christian School together. Together, we love volleyball, going on adventures, listening to music at full volume, and eating Zio’s Pizza! I will probably always imagine Corey as a cute little girl in my mind, but now she has grown into a gorgeous young lady with a drive and a passion for life! She is so incredibly courageous and brave. I am extremely proud of her for graduating high school this past year! This girl is strong, and she inspires me everyday that no matter what happens in life, Jesus is right there with you. Corey is so beautiful and she has a heart of gold that touches so many lives, including the children that she works with. I’m so happy to give Corey the title of bridesmaid!
Anna Kraft
Bridesmaid
Anna!!!!! I’m pumped to have Anna as my bridesmaid! Anna and I have also grown up together and we graduated together from same class at Heartland. Anna currently attends Ozark Christian College, and I couldn’t be more proud of her! She has such a passion to help others, and her heart is sold out for the Lord!! Anna has a gentle spirit, and she’s always been a person of peace. Anna is also extremely passionate and she knows how to dream big! I love you Anna. Thank you for being my bridesmaid!
Jace Butterbaugh
Best Man
Jace and I have been best friends since meeting each other in pre-school, as wee gentlemen. Just simply had to have him as a co-leader of my team of groomsmen.
Sean Atchley
Best Man
Sean is my younger brother and was the clear choice to join forces with Jace as the dynamic duo of best men.
Cole Bayer
Groomsman
Cole is my soon to be brother in law. He is a quiet guy and doesn't talk too often, but when he does, it's always worth the wait.
Jeremiah Koenig
Groomsman
Jeremiah and I have been friends since the age of 2 and have just never grown apart. We spent a ton of time together as kids in the summer and he will make a fine addition to the groomsmen squad.
Kale Gilfillan
Groomsman
Kale and I have become very good friends throughout the years gaming and hanging together at school, but the beginning of our friendship was an incredibly random sound made by a total stranger during a camp picture. Welcome to the team.
Jake Drustrup
Groomsman
Jake is the groomsmen I've known for the shortest amount of time. He and I have become good friends through the game of golf and I couldn't leave him off the list if I tried.
JR
Groomsman
JR is a super cool dude that I met and bonded with through playing LOTS of golf together. We’ve had good times together and I can’t wait to have him with me on my wedding day!
