Wedding Party
Allison Schultz
Maid of Honor
Allison and I have been best friends since we were five years old, growing up across the street from each other and doing life side by side ever since. From childhood memories to long-distance friendship, she has been a constant in every season of my life. Allison has a deep love for the Lord and a servant's heart that has shaped me in so many ways. She knows me better than almost anyone, and I truly couldn't imagine this day without her standing beside me!
Ella Johnson
Bridesmaid
Ella is one of the most joyful and fun people I know, she made college so much sweeter with her laughter, energy, and constant encouragement. We had the privilege of leading a life group together, and getting to grow in our faith side by side which meant so much to me. We've even been mistaken for sisters more times than we can count, which honestly feels pretty fitting. I’m so thankful for her friendship and the joy she carries!
McKenna Babcock
Bridesmaid
McKenna and I met freshman year at line camp, and from the very beginning I knew she would be a lifelong friend. She’s been my favorite running buddy, my gluten-free bestie, and one of my biggest cheerleaders. McKenna is incredibly loyal, selfless, and constantly points me back to Jesus. I’m so grateful for her friendship—and for the role she played in bringing Sam and me together!
Victoria Pierson
Bridesmaid
Vic was my roommate all four years of college and quickly became one of the most impactful friendships in my life. She is strong, honest, and deeply rooted in her faith, always encouraging me to grow and pursue Christ wholeheartedly. Vic has walked with me through some of my hardest and most formative seasons, and her friendship has been such a gift. I'm endlessly thankful for the way she loves me so well!
Christian Bevill
Best Man
Christian has been both a great friend and a mentor to me. We met my freshman year of college through our fraternity, BYX, and quickly formed a strong friendship. Christian's faithfulness and heart for the Lord was apparent from day one. I got to witness him serve as a chaplain for our fraternity and lead my small group for most of college. Christian became someone I could always turn to for advice and spiritual guidance. Last year I had the honor of standing by his side as a groomsman as he married the love of his life, Natalie. Christian has been, and always will be THE guy for wisdom, college football talks, and a dang good cup of coffee!
Jackson Balsavias
Groomsman
Jackson is an incredible friend that I was blessed to meet during my time in college. We both joined the same fraternity, served on the same officer corps, and I had the privilege of handing my BYX presidency off to him. Not only is Jackson a great friend, but he is also our matchmaker! My senior year of college he rang me up on a whim and said "I've got the girl for you". Despite all of his embarrassing comments and marriage jokes on our first day of meeting, we somehow made it. Jackson is the type of guy to make you laugh and smile, and he still points you back to God. I have him to thank for finding me the love of my life.
Landon Johnson
Groomsman
Landon is my best friend's, best friend's, best friend. To put it more simply, he's married to Saylor's best friend, Ella. When Saylor and I first started going out, Landon was the one that gave the okay and vetted me. Safe to say it went well, and it was the start of a new friendship. I'm so thankful for the friend that Landon has become in my life. I admire his marriage and how he puts God at the center of all he does. I know that the Lord has introduced me to a life long friend, and not just Ella's husband!
