Grace & Sam
Wedding Party
Olivia Geramita
Maid of Honor
Moving to a new school and new city when you're 9-yo seemed like the end of the world to Grace until she met Olivia. This childhood friendship has only grown sweeter with time! From countless sleepovers, attending college, and now marriage, Grace and Olivia have been by one another's side through it all. Olivia is deeply compassionate, a servant-hearted friend, and Grace's favorite karaoke partner.
Donnie Swinson
Best Man
As the second oldest Swinson brother, Donnie has always been the life of the party - give him a mic and let him take the show away! Donnie's enthusiasm for life, passion for excellence, and larger than life personality overflows to everyone around him. However, he'll never let Sam forget that he can run faster than his older brother!
Sara Stroup
Bridesmaid
With Grace as point guard and Sara as her forward, these two made up a dynamic duo on the basketball court. Still, Grace and Sara seem to know what the other one is thinking without saying a word! It could be magic or it could be 10+ years of friendship...you decide!
Ben Swinson
Groomsman
Growing up, Ben usually avoided trouble by watching and learning from his two older brothers. His resiliency and intelligence benefit him today because no obstacle has ever stopped him. Now, Ben is pursuing to be an United States Army Officer, something that neither of his older brothers have done.
Lauren Buchanan
Bridesmaid
Picture laughing until you're crying at 2:00 am, eating bowls of ramen noodles over deep conversations, and always having a person in your corner. Lauren is Grace's randomly assigned roommate in college who became a sister to her. She is a spiritual mentor and reliable friend.
JT Bicket
Groomsman
What better place to start a bro-mance than a Liberty University hot tub? It's true, Sam and JT met relaxing in the hot tub after working out! Their instant friendship has grown to years of encouragement and joy. JT loves people not only with his words, but with action, and he is the kind of person you immediately feel like you've known for years.
Sophia Horner
Bridesmaid
"Are you here for ROTC too?" Grace and Sophia met on the first day of college and they did Army ROTC together. They've spent many early mornings working out, hours of studying in the Montview Student Union, and many nights in the woods together. One evening they'll be applying each other's makeup and the next day applying camo.
Joel Langford
Groomsman
Joel is the older brother that Sam never had. He greets everyone with a smile and he will keep you on your toes with constant joking - try to keep up with his puns! Sam values Joel's spiritual mentorship, his steadfast character, and the example he provides of leading his wife well.
Sarah Payne
Bridesmaid
Sarah's friendship feels like a deep breath after a long day. She goes out of her way to understand those around her, listens intentionally, and gently reminds people of the truth. Grace won't be surprised if Sarah writes a book about combining logic and love to deepen connection.
Spencer Bryant
Groomsman
Sam credits Spencer for almost every scary movie that he has ever seen! While Spencer pushes Sam outside of his movie-watching-comfort-zone, they easily bond over music, business, and theme parks. Spencer was Sam's first friend at Liberty University.
Raye-Leigh Swinson
Bridesmaid
With four older brothers, Raye-Leigh is sassy, independent, and one of the most fearless 15-year olds that Grace and Sam have ever met. Ask her about her most recent barrel-racing competition!
Jackson Swinson
Groomsman
Need advice about lifting or gaining muscle? Jackson may be the youngest brother, but he's definitely not the smallest one! With two bearded dragons, an Argentinian Tegu, two sugar gliders, and live bait to feed all of them, Jackson brings more life to the Swinson household (literally).
Kirsten Conol
Jr. Bridesmaid
Kirsten could have won "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" in 3rd grade. Grace and her cousin share a love for learning, skiing/snowboarding, and playing Mario Kart.
Troy Conol
Jr. Groomsman
Troy is an aspiring Air Force pilot! ...or fisherman, he hasn't decided yet. Grace and her cousin share a love for martial arts, sports, and watching Star Wars.
