Wedding Party
Audrey Smith
Maid of Honor
Audrey and I became close friends on a mission trip in high school. And that hasn't changed, even though we haven't lived in the same city since we graduated! Audrey is steady, thoughtful, and "gets me" on all the levels. She's taught me loads about no-strings-attached love. I'm so honored that she'll be by my side on July 12! Cumming, GA
Heidi Merlo
Bridesmaid
Heidi and I met in middle school, had classes together in high school, but became super close our Senior year. Heidi's friendship taught me that following Jesus can be FUN, and I've never been the same since. She loves and challenges me in a way that's truly unique, all while being so dang cool. It's such a privilege to have her in my corner! Fayetteville, AR
Carrie Carruth
Bridesmaid
Carrie's friendship through college made it seem like we had been friends for much longer. In between making quilt coats and inviting myself over, Carrie and I experienced years of tremendous growth together. She's taught me loads about the safety of friendship that feels like family. The joy of her friendship is not lost on me! Dahlonega, GA
Caylea Vessels
Bridesmaid
Caylea and I met in Portland as coworkers, but she quickly separated herself from the pack! Caylea has been the ultimate Hype-Woman and Chair of team #SusieTurnsBarnes. She's taught me much about asking good and challenging questions of my people. And it's an honor to know that she'll be bringing her sparkle on wedding day! Vancouver, WA
Grant Carter
Best Man
Grant and I met in 4th grade, but when we started playing football together in 6th we immediately became best friends. Grant has taught me what genuine friendship looks like, and no matter how long it is between us seeing each other I always know he would do anything if I needed him. Best Man isn’t a high enough honor to give to Grant, but that’s the highest I can give him! Newcastle, OK
Conner Barnes
Groomsman
Conner is my older brother, which of course means we have had plenty of ups and downs. I have cried because of him when he’d make me mad playing front-yard football, and for him when he would get spankings. I have never met a more hardworking man and I have learned a lot from watching him persevere through some tough times. Ft. Worth, TX
Bayler Barnes
Groomsman
Bayler is my younger brother, which ALSO means we have had plenty of ups and downs! From the classic “I’m not touching you” bit to serving the Lord side by side in high school together, Bayler is the smartest man I know and has taught me what it means to be yourself and love yourself for who God made you to be. Las Cruces, NM
Garrett Tittle
Groomsman
I met Garrett my freshman year of college. We immediately bonded over ping pong and our disappointment with Texas Football. He and I had a standing Panda Express date each week where we talked about life, Jesus, and sometimes (okay, often) girls. Tittle is the goofiest man I know and taught me a lot about what it means to follow Jesus and live life to the fullest. Flower Mound, TX
Colt Booth
Groomsman
Colt and I met in 2022 when he moved up to Portland to work with NCM. I’ve always been able to feel comfortable with Colt whether that meant sitting in silence playing video games at his apartment, or him introducing me to a plethora of new things. I have learned lots and lots of random facts from Colt and he has been huge in me growing more confident in many ministry abilities. Portland, OR
