Wedding Party
Jacey Hinson
Bride
Jacey and I met when she was a senior in high school. We met through our mutual friend Coy. What I didn’t know is that I would be meeting the most amazing, gorgeous, and the person I would be spending the rest of my life with that night. We became best friends and I wanted to be around her all the time she made me laugh usually making fun of me but still made me smile constantly. After she graduated she went to college and after long phone calls and constantly texting her I decided to chase the girl I loved to college. Obviously, me being me, I denied my heart and waited until she finally got a boyfriend and I couldn’t Imagine her being with anyone else so I confessed my love for her and she decided to give me a shot. I can’t wait to marry her and start the best adventure I could ever imagine. Ps. To my future bride I love you forever and always.
Chase Strain
Groom
From the very first time I met Chase I knew in my heart that he was going to be an important person in my life. At the time I didn’t know how but I just knew he would be in some way or another. I was only 17 when we met and we became best friends and hung out just about every day. We were going to each others family holidays and were inseparable from day 1. Chase always found a way to make me laugh every single day and still does. He has the most pure heart and makes me feel so unbelievably loved. He always has my back and is the best friend I could’ve ever asked for. I can’t wait to see where our lives take us and I can’t wait to say “I do”. I will love him forever and always❤️
Joshua Hinson
Man of Honor
Josh has been my best friend for 20 years. I couldn’t think of anyone better to stand by me on such a big day since he’s stood by me through the majority of my life. He’s the best little brother I could have ever asked for. He has the biggest heart out of anyone I’ve ever known and gives the best hugs that I look forward to every time I see him. I’m so blessed to have him in my life❤️
Kaelan Poppema
Bridesmaid
Kaelan I believe was sent to me by God himself. We met one single time in high school, found out we were going to the same college and then came up with the bright idea to be roommates. We didn’t know each other at all and yet she made my freshman year one of the best years of my life. I never felt alone in college because of her and she was always there for me through everything. She’s an amazing artist and an even better friend. I’ve always been so thankful that she was put in my life when I think I needed her the most.❤️
Mallory McGill
Bridesmaid
Mallory is by far the longest friend I have. I met her when I was 4 or 5 and we’ve been best friends ever since. She is nothing short of a spaz that anyone would love. We’ve played sports together, talked about boys, and gotten in trouble by our parents more times than I can count (I’m still sorry about the closet Darla lol). She has always had my back no matter what and would show up for me anytime I asked. I’m so lucky to have had a friend like her for so long❤️
Kendra Whyte
Bridesmaid
Kendra is the friend that came into my life late in our high school years and we instantly got along so well. She is now my book bestie and my fellow nerd. She’s not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside as well. She has the most kind soul and is a ray of sunshine that will make you smile every time you see her. She makes my heart so incredibly happy🥹
Shelbie Cooper
Bridesmaid
Shelbie is the closest thing that I’ve ever had to an older sister. Throughout my whole life all I wanted to do was hang out with my cool older cousin. I would always get mad at her for having friends over because she would be hanging out with them and not me. I always looked up to her as a kid. She’s beautiful, sassy, kind and a tad sarcastic which is my second language. I was honored to be in her wedding and now I’m so excited for her to be in mine🥹❤️
Danner Miller
Best Man
Danner and I have been best friends for 19 years. I first met Danner in 2nd grade when I moved to Corvallis and we connected through our mutual love for sports. Danner is the type of person that would do anything for someone he cares about. I couldn’t imagine a better friend, brother or best man.
Coy Whyte
Groomsman
I first met Coy at lake como through a mutual friend. At first all I could think was “great a Hamilton douche bag”. Little did I know I was meeting one of my best friends. As I got to know Coy I realized that he is someone who will have your back no matter what and will always be there for the ones he loves. I couldn’t think of anyone better I would want to be standing with me on mine and Jaceys big day
Wyatt Haldorson
Groomsman
Wyatt otherwise known as Waylon’s dad. All jokes aside Wyatt and I have been friends since day one. Wyatt moved to Corvallis in 3rd grade and I was selected to show him around. My first question to Wyatt was whether or not he liked football his answer of course was yes and we have been friends ever since. I’m so thankful to have Wyatt as a groomsman but I’m more thankful for being able to have met him and have him in my life.
Brandon Mertins
Groomsman
I met Brandon along with the Wyatt and Danner in primary school. Brandon moved and ended up going to Hamilton so we weren’t always so close but when he moved back junior year it was like he never left. We pretty much did every thing together. When he was grounded I stayed at his house and if I was grounded I usually just stayed at his house again. Brandon is my ride or die guy, the guy that would do anything for me no questions asked and I’m so grateful for the friendship and memories that I’ve been allowed to have with him. I couldn’t ask for a better person to have in my life
Kolton Mahan
Groomsman
Mine and Kolton’s friendship surprised me as he was a grade below me and we never really talked throughout school. We started playing call of duty with Danner while I was in Bozeman and became good friends when I moved back to Hamilton and started working with him. It was as if we were life long friends. Kolton is one of those people that never wants the people he loves to be down. He makes everyone laugh even if it’s usually at him. I’m so thankful to be in his life and to have him as one of my closest friends and so grateful that he’s going to be standing with me on my big day.
