Carter Day

Best Man

Hi I’m Carter! I’m Jackson’s younger brother and best man. I am a sophomore at Baylor University studying finance. Jackson has been my best friend, partner in crime, and role model since we were kids. From playing soccer in high school, playing wii as kids, and caddying together the last 4 years, I have some of my best memories with him. I am so excited for him and Sarah who fits right in with us, I and can’t wait for the addition to the family.

Kate Brinks

Maid of Honor

I am currently a junior at South Christian High School. I am Sarah's younger sister and maid of honor. Growing up, Sarah and I were close, but never really became best friends until around my 8th grade year. Having Sarah in my life is the biggest blessing and I can't imagine where I'd be without her. We love a good shopping day, tanning, and going to Starbucks. I am beyond excited to stand by my sister's side as she marries Jackson!

Ledger Day

Groomsman

My name is Ledger Day and I'm Jackson's youngest brother at age thirteen. One of my favorite memories as a kid is playing soccer and hockey in the basement with my siblings. Jackson was a great teammate and always encouraged me! I love hanging out with Jackson and can't wait to spend more time with Sarah.

Lauren Tiesma

Maid of Honor

Hi I'm Lauren! I am studying diagnostic medical sonography at grand valley, as well as a part time nanny. Sarah and I met through cross country our sophomore year of high school, and have been best friends ever since. We have watched all of the big and small moments of eachother lives, so for this time to finally be here is such a blessing! Sarah and I also live together which has been so fun! I am also good friends with Jackson and I had the privilege of watching the two of them fall in love. I don’t think there could be anyone better for Sarah and I am so excited to see what God has planned for them!! I am thrilled to stand by Sarah’s side as a maid of honor on her big day!

Jack Brinks

Groomsman

As the proud brother of Sarah, I’ve always looked up to her. From following her around as a kid to trying to nudge my way into her life whenever I could, she’s been a constant presence for me. From our childhood adventures to our heart-to-heart conversations as adults, she’s always been one of my biggest supporters. Now, seeing her with Jackson, I can’t imagine anyone better for her. I’m honored to be part of this special day and excited for the amazing future they’ll create together!

Kamryn Day

Bridesmaid

I am currently a junior at Timothy Christian High School and Jackson’s little sister. I have obviously have known Jackson my whole life and have loved growing up with him. He always has been there for me and knows how to make me laugh. Growing up with 3 brothers, I have been waiting for the day I finally get a sister, and couldn’t be more excited it’s Sarah!

Noah Vedra

Groomsman

Hi, I'm Noah Vedra. I'm studying accounting at Calvin University. I met Jackson freshman year at Calvin but did not become very close friends with Jackson until sophomore year. We met in the dorms and have made the greatest memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Jackson is someone I can trust and someone who brings joy into my life. Jackson is one of my best friends and I am honored to stand by him on his wedding day. I've also gotten to know Sarah and could not think of a better match for Jackson. I look forward to seeing their relationship thrive in the years to come.

Sarah Zylstra

Bridesmaid

My name is Sarah Zylstra and I’ll be graduating from Calvin in May with my nursing degree and minor in Spanish. I have been friends with Sarah since 3rd grade at Dutton Christian! We have always been friends, but we’re pretty sure it only started because we have the same name. Since then, we have navigated middle school, high school classes and sports teams, nursing school, and a trip to Nepal together. She is my study buddy, and our professors only know us as “the Sarah’s.” I have also gotten to know Jackson well, and the joy between the two of them is so contagious. So honored to stand by her side!!

Ben Guagliumi

Groomsman

I first met Jackson during freshman orientation, and as soon as we talked, I thought, "There's no way I'll ever be friends with this guy." And that was true... until sophomore year when Sarah went to Spain. Jackson, who I still wasn't friends with, started hanging out with my then roommate (now housemate and fellow groomsman) Noah Vedra in our room every night. After weeks of dirty looks and awkward conversations we somehow became friends, and the rest is history! A little about me: I'm from New Hampshire (yes, that's a real place), I have a 19-year-old brother and three pets. I enjoy playing soccer, making music, and spending time with my friends. I'm so excited for these two and I am honored to stand beside Jackson as one of his groomsmen!

Ellie Mulder

Bridesmaid

I am currently a senior at Calvin University and am getting my nursing degree with Sarah and then heading to medical school next year! Sarah and I go back to cross country, sophomore year on the bus when she kindly shared her almonds with me. I have had the privilege of watching Sarah and Jackson’s relationship unfold, they even used my car for their first date so Jackson could be a gentleman and drive. It’s such a privilege to stand by their side on their big day.

Noah Buys

Groomsman

My name is Noah Buys, and I’m studying economics and finance at Calvin University (I’m also the short friend). I met Jackson my first semester playing club soccer, but we were not close friends until after a Super Bowl party with our friend group the next semester. We have played rugby together and shared many adventures with all of our friends. I have gotten to know Sarah better recently and have had the privilege of seeing Jackson and Sarah’s relationship grow. I am so excited and honored to stand by people I will call friends for life!

Anna Vanderkooi

Bridesmaid

I’m currently in my last semester of nursing school at NMU and am so excited to be moving back to Holland after I graduate! Sarah and I met in high school where we spent many days catching turtles on her lake, going to football games, and running cross country together. Over the years, Sarah has become one of my closest friends. Jackson and I would always switch places throughout the year, he got Sarah for the school year and I spent time with her in the summer, so I am excited to not switch off anymore:) Sarah stood in my wedding last year and I am honored to support her and Jackson in August!
