I'm so excited to introduce the wedding party for the bride and groom and a small paragraph about how we met.

Harley Miller-Breon

Maid of Honor

I've known Harley since my sophomore year, but our friendship took of in our junior and senior years in high school, and I'm so unbearably grateful I met her as my best friend and my soul sister in Christ

Haley Angel

Bridesmaid

I met Hailey during show choir in my junior year and I'm so glad I did her enthusiastic energy helped me come out of my shell and allowed our friendship to flourish

Melanie Story

Bridesmaid

I've known Melanie since my senior year I met her during show choir, and we became friends from there she was always helpful and happy to help and hang out. I'm happy I met her.

Josiah Helstern

Best Man

Josiah is my oldest friend here. He's been with me since 2022 and introduced me to the faith of Christianity. He's always there and willing to hang out all the time. he cared about all the bad things that have happened in my life in the past 3 years and has gotten me through a lot.

Dakota Rusherr

Groomsman

Dakota has been a friend of mine since early last year. we met at the Ames gym and started hanging out every Sunday. After meeting Dakota he kinda kept me grounded in reality. hes a great man and a great friend, he has always reached out and always tried to plan something despite me being busy all the time.

Andrew Keith

Groomsman

I met Andrew at Salt Company in the summer of 2024, and we instantly clicked. we met through a mutual friend named Hayden. He didn't like our dirty jokes, but me and Andrew didn't care. As a result, we have an amazing friendship where we regularly call and text. He was also the man who coerced me into going to a Catholic church, which resulted in Sarah and me becoming a Catholic.
