Wedding Party

Ashley Sandusky

Matron of Honor

Ashley and I are sisters from the same mister (actual contact name lol). Ashley has taken many roles in my life including pseudo-mom (my parents teased her in public calling her my teen mom due to our 16 year age gap) and loving sister whose closeness is evident in the many similarities that I take from her. Above all, she is someone who is incredibly loyal and always striving to be a helpful hand to her family and her friends. She has been there for all my small moments and milestones and has constantly provided me with things I do not always deserve. She has carried this on with her own family which you can see in the ways she cares for her children and husband. She is a wonderful blessing to my life and I feel honored that God chose to give me to a family with her and my parents in it.

Ariel Weber

Bridesmaid

Ariel and I met while we both worked at Old Navy and quickly bonded after I bought her soup at the end of her first day. I did not know when I was tasked with training her on fitting room that she would become one of my closest friends. She is so caring and always makes time for her friends and family, especially her dog Huck. She is amazing and kindhearted as evident by her personality. I always remark that she is the only person I would ever get matching tattoos with (and we actually have two) because she is just that good at being an amazing friend and person. She is truly the friend God knew I needed.

Mikayla Mann

Bridesmaid

Mikayla and I have know each other since middle school. We have seen each other in so many different stages and we have loved each other through all of them. She was the first person I ever told that I liked Elijah and she has cheered us on ever since. I will never forget the times she would exasperatedly tell me to just talk to him and the time she was finally happy I made some move with holding his hand on a rollercoaster (very cheesy, I know :) She is a great friend who cheers for her friends wins. She also encourages me to be strong and joyful in all circumstances. She is someone who makes me laugh and have a good time. I love our moments where we get to geek out about the books we're reading, have Bridgerton show marathons, and just enjoy life together. Mikayla adds something special to my life and for that, I am grateful.

Stella McGuire

Bridesmaid

Stella is one of my close friends from high school. She is very creative, and always looking to explore new experiences. I credit her with helping me discover new things I never had before I met her. From our trips into the city where she introduced me to amazing food, hearing her explain the significance behind her favorite authors works, trips to unique looking bookstores, summer hiking trips, and the time we drove all around downtown Columbus filming the nightlife for her pen pal in the country of Turkey, Stella's love of art and experience is inspiring. I always have a fun time around her and there is no one else I would rather be surrounded by than her.

Jadyn Springer

Bridesmaid

Jadyn and I met in middle school and quickly became inseparable. We followed each other into high school and later the career center ending up in the same Pre-Nursing class. There was never a day in which we were not side by side. Some of my favorite memories with her include spending hours together while she was at work alone and just talking, the time when we drove an hour and a half both ways just to go to Young's Dairy and leave after 15 minutes to go to Cracker Barrel, countless after school dinners, and long talks outside of her house in my car. When she moved to Minnesota in our senior year, it was heartbreaking to be without my best friend. Whenever we talk, its like we never stopped. She is among the countless friends God has blessed me with.

Abby Estes

Bridesmaid

Abby is the personification of sunshine. Her love for the Lord shines through her personality. She is an incredible friend and she inspires me to be better everyday. We met on my first day at Cedarville after I heard a voice in my head tell me to turn back and talk to her and my other friends Bethany Stevens and Madison Dyer. I will never regret that decision. We have made countless memories together including going on long walks and just talking about our hopes and dreams for our futures, countless meals together, going to the gym, and pouring out our love for God together. Anyone who is lucky enough to be friends with Abby is forever blessed with how amazing she is.

Lyttle-Light Pomaa

Bridesmaid

Lyttle and I met in our Pre-Calculus class after she sat next to me. We exchanged numbers and quickly became study buddies that turned great friends. She is an incredibly intelligent and uplifting person who always tries to make time for her friends. She cares deeply about everyone's wellbeing which is evident as she takes care of people in her healthcare career. The amount of times I have told Elijah about how excited and joyful it is to see her are immeasurable. My favorite memory with her is when I asked her if she was willing to run to the mall with me last minute and she immediately said yes. My friendship with her is so sweet and one I know I will carry with me always.

Brandon Funk

Best Man

Brandon has been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up as cousins, we shared countless memories — from fighting with lightsabers to exploring the Kentucky woods on our many childhood adventures. Over the years, he has been more than family; he has been a true friend and like a brother to me. From those early days to navigating life as adults, Brandon has always been someone I could rely on. I’m incredibly grateful for the bond we share and for the many life moments we’ve experienced together.

Blake Carson

Best Man

Blake and I have been incredibly close friends ever since he became my neighbor — a friendship that quickly became one of the most important relationships in my life. From high school and beyond, we’ve shared countless memories, from camping in each other’s backyards to staying up until 4 a.m. playing video games in each other’s rooms. Over the years, Blake has been a steady voice of decisiveness and reason, someone whose perspective and honesty I deeply value. He has seen me at my best and my worst, offering unwavering support through many of life’s most challenging seasons. I’m incredibly grateful for his friendship and the lasting impact he’s had on my life.

Josiah Funk

Groomsman

Josiah, the older of my younger brothers, has always been adventurous, deeply caring, and someone with a heart as big as his smile. His integrity and honesty have always been qualities I’ve admired. He has a way of bringing joy to those around him, and it has been incredibly special to watch him grow over the years. From the kid who once joined me on imaginary spy adventures and helped create neighborhood clubs, to the man who continues to embrace life with curiosity and purpose. Whether traveling across the U.S. to help others or exploring the beauty of the outdoors, Josiah truly embodies the spirit of adventure. I’m grateful for the joy, energy, and perspective he brings into my life.

Ian Funk

Groomsman

Ian is my youngest brother; not enough words could fully describe Ian. He is funny, energetic, and someone who naturally loves being the center of attention. Yet beyond his playful and lively personality, he has grown into a man who is serious, hardworking, and a genuine light to those around him. If there is one word that consistently defines Ian, it is dependable. He has always been there whenever I’ve needed him, offering support without hesitation whenever it was within his ability. His loyalty and reliability extend far beyond just me, touching the lives of friends and family alike. Beneath his goofiness and unmistakable humor — which can easily be heard from across any room — is someone whose presence brings both joy and stability to the people around him.

Brett Carson

Groomsman

Brett, Blake’s younger brother, has been a close friend for many years — first as neighbors, and even more so after they moved away. From the countless hours spent around our dining room table, where Blake, Josiah, Ian, and I played video games growing up, to joining us for board game nights today, Brett has been part of so many meaningful memories. Sharing laughter, joy, and more late nights than we can count — whether pulling all-nighters for the latest Pokémon game or getting snowed in at my house for an unexpected week. It has been truly special growing up together, and I’m grateful for the years of memories we’ve shared.

Tristin Fernandez

Groomsman

Tristin is easily one of the goofiest friends I’ve ever had, but what truly defines him is the joy, laughter, and incredible intelligence he brings into every interaction. He is genuinely one of the smartest people I know, someone who loves a true battle of the minds — whether through chess, strategy games, or deep conversations. From the countless chess matches and classroom competitions in high school to reconnecting years later, our friendship has been filled with both fun and growth. Tristin has a rare way of thinking deeply and speaking with intention, always offering perspectives that challenge and sharpen my own. I’m incredibly grateful for his friendship and the energy and insight he brings into my life.

Sam Ling

Groomsman

Sam has been a lifelong friend with whom I’ve shared countless memories. Growing up down the street from each other was something I always cherished and deeply missed when he moved away. He has been part of so many major moments in my life, from inviting me to Boy Scout lock-ins to the many adventures we created through games and competition. From laser tag and Portal to endless rounds of Smash Bros (he always wins), board games, and some of the goofiest indie games like Gang Beasts, Sam has always brought energy and fun into every experience. He carries a rare mix of kindness, enthusiasm, and competitive spirit. Whether playing chess in high school or battling it out in games, Sam has been an incredible friend whose presence has added so much joy to my life.

Kinsleigh Sandusky

Flower Girl

Kinsleigh came into my life when I was ten years old and even though she is my niece, we really act more like sisters. She is a girl who loves boldly, and speaks her mind. She defends me always, takes after some of my good and bad habits, but above all she is my little bestie. Also, I take responsibility for most of her makeup and slime collection :) I've enjoyed getting to see the world through her eyes. From countless Starbucks trips, after school pickups, sleepovers where I get to do her skincare, we get to nurture the sweetest bond that God has given us. I love her endlessly and can't wait for her to be my flower girl. I know she will look beautiful.

Joseph Sandusky

Ring Bearer

Joseph is my nephew and one of the ring bearers. He was a baby our family prayed for and I've had the special blessing of being there for all the special moments. From being the first person to know about him (besides his parents), to being his gender keeper and having a dream a few days before about him, and then finally getting to hold the little baby that was such a blessing. He is full of personality and so funny. He is very outgoing once you get to know him and talks endlessly about his favorite things including his power rangers, WWE wrestling, and teenage mutant ninja turtles. I cannot wait to see the cuteness that is him and his brother walking down the aisle with our rings.

Lucas Sandusky

Ring Bearer

Lucas is my youngest nephew and just the cutest little boy. He is so spunky and not afraid to be himself. He shares many similar qualities with me including his love of animals and it is the cutest thing to see him get so excited when he sees a dog. He just enjoys life so much and it is heartwarming to see. My favorite memories with him are all the goofy photos we've taken, playing hide and seek with his siblings, and the times he loves going out in the ocean with me. Him and his siblings are God's greatest blessings and I love him so much.
