Wedding Party
Corban Allenbrand
Best Man
Corban is a loyal, hard working, intelligent man. He loves his wife Amber well. He goes after his dreams and takes risks to see them happen. He is my brother and I have proudly watched him grow over the years.
Miranda Shoemaker
Matron of Honor
I met Miranda in 2016 at the church we both attended. The first time I met her she gave me a big hug and said "we are going to become best friends." I smiled and walked away totally freaked out. Thinking to myself " THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!" I should have listened to her because she was absolutely right. Our friendship has taken us through an internship, international traveling, hiking up mountains, celebrating each other's love stories, getting snowed in, fighting in a parking lot, moving states to help plant a church, lots of laughter and just as many tears. Miranda is the Ethel to my Lucy, or, maybe it's the other way around. ;) Either way, we're in it for life.
Jordan Owens
Groomsman
I have known Jordan for five years. God has done a great work of redemption in his life and he is living out his faith as an authentic man of God. He works hard, finishes well and leads by being an example.
Meagan Abromeit
Bridesmaid
I met Meagan in 2013 and instantly had a huge amount of respect for her. She is an incredible Wife, Mamma, friend, worship leader and SO MUCH MORE. Meagan is the friend who is an ANCHOR. When the world around her is tossing about, she settles in TRUTH and lets that be what she clings to and stands on. I have been able to sit with Meagan and pour my heart out, be completely transparent and feel totally safe. Meagan is the friend who will listen, encourage and then speak straight to the heart and encourage you to keep going. Meagan is a NO NONSENSE woman and I am thankful that I get to call her friend.
Steven Records
Groomsman
Steven was one of the first friends I had when I gave my life to Jesus 12 years ago. He had been a great encouragement for me. He has believed the best about me and has championed me every step of the way. He is a man of God, loving husband and a pioneering business leader.
Candace Kolb
Bridesmaid
I’ve known Candace longer than I haven’t known her. I grew up with two brothers and always wanted a sister. Candace was “part 1” of the answer to that prayer. Candace has been a faithful sister and friend. She has been there through the good, bad and ugly. She has celebrated all of the sweetest moments and sat with me in the not so sweet moments. She was one of the people I was most excited to tell that I got engaged. It is an HONOR to call her my sister and have her stand up with me at our wedding.
Brad Shoemaker
Groomsman
Brad is a devoted husband. He loves the presence of God and seeing God transform people's lives with His power and love. Brad inspires me to go after the heart of Jesus.
Hannah Schrepfer
Bridesmaid
I have known Hannah for 3 years and she is a source of Joy in my life. We spent time interning together, traveling to Africa, climbing mountains in Colorado, planting a church and currently share a bedroom. Hannah is a listener, encourager, Holy Spirit carrier, fierce champion of others and loyal friend. She has stood on the sidelines watching and celebrating Zephan and I from the very beginning and we are so honored that she is standing with us as we enter into a marriage covenant.
Andrew Ross
Groomsman
Andrew and I have shared a good amount of life together. We have both been a part of some really cool seasons in the Lord. Andrew loves people deeply and is passionate about seeing people experience the goodness of God.
Johna Sereg
Bridesmaid
I have known Johna since 2014 and she instantly became my person. Johna knows me better than I know myself and has been a sweet gift from the Lord. She has filled many roles in my life and is the person that has the weight to tell me “no.” She has invested more than could ever be repaid. She has seen me at my lowest and at my best and has loved me the same through it all. She is a fierce lover and defender of people. She sees beauty where others see ordinary. She has extreme patience. She has unwavering faith. She is a well full wisdom. She has spoken into mine and Zephan’s life individually and collectively and we both count it a privilege to have her in our wedding!
Evan Carsella
Groomsman
I have known Evan for 12 years. He was one of the first friends who I had when I gave my life to Jesus. We became really close friends a few years later. Evan loves his wife Kelsey and desires to lead a home that honors God above all else. He learns quickly and adds value to the people he works with.
Susannah Delgado
Bridesmaid
I met Susie in 2013 and didn’t know the impact she would have on my life. Susie and I have taught preschool together, served on a worship team, traveled to Africa, celebrated each other’s love stories, shared deep heart conversations about life, faith and the different seasons we have walked through. Susie has spoken into the deepest parts of my soul, has encouraged me to chase after the dreams God has placed in my life, sat and listened when I needed to process and laughed at my craziness. Whether we talk once a week, once a month or not very often, Susie is consistent. It’s a sweet privilege to have her as a bridesmaid.
Jarod Smith
Officiant
It is an honor to have Jarod officiating our wedding. We met Jarod while we were attending the young adults ministry at church. He has played such a significant and influential role in both of our lives.
Brittany Kolb
Honorary Bridesmaid
Britt is “part 2” of the answer to my prayer for a sister. Britt has also been there through some of my sweetest moments and some of the heart ache. Britt is level headed, wise and encouraging. She speaks truth in love and cares deeply for other people. She is an incredible wife and mamma and though she is my “younger sister,” she teaches me so much and is someone I look up to. Although Brittany won't be standing up with me on that day, she is most definitely an important member of my Bride Tribe.
