Tess & Sam
Wedding Party
Sydney Neumann
Matron of Honor
Sydney is my sister and built-in best friend. She is intelligent, tenacious, persistent, and determined. We have done all of life together, and it has been so fun to grow up alongside each other. I was her maid of honor, and now it is only fitting that she will be mine!
Steven Merdian
Best Man
Steven and I have known each other since fourth grade living in Jordan. Even as I moved to California and he to Illinois and now Missouri, we have stayed close friends. We have done so much of life together, especially serving together at church, and he is the closest person I have to a brother!
Amy Andersen
Bridesmaid
Amy is my best friend and was my roommate our second year in college! She has seen me through past breakups, job decisions, and tough situations as an RA. We have so many memories of late night laughter and good conversations. Amy always gives the best advice rooted in biblical wisdom and I love her dearly!
David Attasseril
Groomsman
David and I love country music, Chipotle, and Israeli spy shows. When we are together, Chipotle's stock price goes up from our daily visits. Though my cousin, he is like a brother to me!
Danielle Tucker
Bridesmaid
Danielle was my first RA at Master's and she took the time to invest in me, not only as a freshman in college, but as a dear friend and sister in Christ. Danielle knows how to have fun and laugh at everything, but she has taught me how to constantly and practically pursue Christ. She is the ultimate picture of the grace and beauty of a gentle, godly spirit.
Connor McAlexander
Groomsman
From 4AM intermediate accounting cram sessions to 6AM gym workouts, Connor has been a solid friend through thick and thin. We navigated our accounting degrees together and now we both work at EY. He keeps life interesting with his random entrepreneurial ideas when public accounting gets too boring!
Amber Witherow
Bridesmaid
Amber and I became fast friends at Christ Bible Church! We have a shared love for plants, coffee, brunch, and good conversation. Amber is a constant encouragement in my life, and she means the world to me!
Marco Bovino
Groomsman
Marco was my first RA and friend at Master's. He helped me navigate my freshman year and was always a source of wise counsel, helping to shape my theology early on. Marco's love for the Lord and His Word is a constant inspiration to me!
Emily Gallegos
Bridesmaid
Emily is my closest girl cousin and we have grown up together! From summer sleepovers to family holidays to Just Dance competitions, we have some of the best memories! Emily is a picture of beauty, kindness, and FUN! I admire her sweet spirit and passion for excellence in all she does.
Andres Sastre
Groomsman
Andres and I know each other from Saturday morning brunches, to navigating accounting classes together, and to now living as housemates post-graduation. He is one of the best musicians I know! He and I regularly have encouraging, convicting, and soul-reflecting conversations, and I value his friendship dearly.
Yasmin Bitong
Bridesmaid
Yasmin and I met my senior year in college and she is one example of the Lord's perfect sovereignty and grace in my life. She has taught me what it means to be a transparent and biblical friend, and I love her genuine humility and desire to serve the Lord. I love walking life together!
John Mubiru
Groomsman
John is my brother in Christ from Uganda! Our friendship is deep and full of meaningful conversations about walking with the Lord. I love his constant joy and servant's heart. With all of the ways he keeps busy studying, serving, and loving, John is always running out of time!
