Kisandra Smith

Maid of Honor

Aunt of the Bride Kisandra and Shawnna have known each other their whole lives, well for Kisandra’s whole life. Kisandra is Shawnna’s Aunt, but they have become more like sisters over the years.

Austin "Chuck" Charles

Best Man

Friend of the Bride and the Groom Billy has known Chuck for right around a decade where they met at church through Chuck's cousin Zach Yoder bring Austin to Youth Group. From listening to music for hours and going for drives to playing hockey in the drive way and watching the office and ghost adventures at 3 in the morning scaring the crap out of us ha ha. He’s always been there when the health scares would come and I would be so discouraged and he would reenact some of his grandmas sayings just to make me laugh. Though our friendship has grown one of the highlights I must say is when we were at a revival and He gave his heart to God accepting him as his savior, that smile from ear to ear and the change in him was something I will always cherish and remember.

Alex Wiltrout

Bridesmaid

Friend of the Bride Alex and Shawnna met when Alex tried out for the Grace College Cheer Team. They were teammates for two and half years. And practically roommates their last year at Grace.

And loves finding pictures on her phone that Emma leaves when they get together.

Zach Dyer

Groomsman

Friend of the Groom Billy has known Zach for 3 years when they met at sportsone Parkview ice house where they are both Zamboni drivers. From Zach being just a co worker to a great friend has been quite the journey. From talking about conspiracies and what our strategy would be in a zombie apocalypse, to talking about quitting at least 10 times per shift but never actually doing it ha ha, Zach has always been that encouragement after a bad health day or the great person to vent to when one or both of us were frustrated with where we were in life, ultimately leading to Zach becoming one of my most trusted friends.
