Kelsey & Theo
Wedding Party
Molly Lacey
Maid of Honor
Molly has been my best friend since high school. We met through church and she has been my go-to-girl ever since. She has held my hand in the hardest times and popped champagne with me in the best times. She is loyal, witty, and has a heart of gold!
Craig Buchanan
Best Man
Craig and I met at church and quickly formed a close friendship. He is pretty much responsible for that life-changing trip to New York City where I met Kelsey. He encourages me to lead with humility and is someone I can always count on for Godly counsel. We have had some great times getting "barreled" behind the boat and I look forward to many more. Look out for this guy on the dance floor.
Kenzi Locklear
Matron of Honor
Kenzi and I met through a student ministry in college. We've traveled to Africa, Massachusetts, Florida, Colorado, and (specifically) Oklahoma WAY too many times together. She is the best encourager I know and radiates the love of Jesus.
Ryan Jenkins
Best Man
Ryan and I met in Phoenix where I was attending GCU and he was playing ball at ASU. We had very little in common at the time (at least we thought), but he quickly became like a brother to me. I know I can count on him no matter what life hits us with. He is one of the most humble guys I know and inspires me in so many ways. I could not imagine walking through life without his friendship.
Cami McCurdy
Bridesmaid
Cami and I met as we departed on what would be an unforgettable trip to Africa. Although we have always been long-distance friends, we spend countless hours on the phone walking through similar seasons of life together. She is my sounding board, truth speaker, and most genuine friend.
Cameron Gifford
Groomsman
Cameron and I have had a lot of good times over the last year or so. He is such a kind, generous, and intentional friend. I am incredibly thankful for the many ways he has positively influenced Kelsey and I through this journey and I’m looking forward to having another brother. One day I’ll have a better shot than him.
Madison Little
Bridesmaid
Madison has been through it ALL with me and I mean ALL! After twenty years of friendship, she has become my chosen sister. She is patient (Lord knows I need it), kind, and incredibly strong. Oh, and she laughs at all of my jokes!
Jordan Olinger
Groomsman
Jordan and I met through church while I was living in Phoenix. He has been like a brother to me for many years and I am so grateful for the influence he has had on my life. You can't talk to this guy without having a good laugh, and trust me, you want to hear him laugh. He also has the cutest kid, Max. I am thankful to have him by my side on the big day!
Paige Meader
Bridesmaid
Paige is truly my big sister. I got pretty lucky that my parents chose her's as their best friends! I have known her my entire life and I call her family. She has taught me to forgive quickly, love everyone even when it's hard, and to never take for granted those we call family.
Christian Dalupan
Groomsman
Christian and I are cousins who might as well be brothers. He has been by my side to support me through every season of life. I'll never forget living with him in the rougher parts of Phoenix and all of the laughs we had. Christian is servant-hearted and one of the most loyal people I know. I know that he will always have my back and now, he will have Kelsey's as well.
Payton Meader
Bridesmaid
Payton is the firecracker that keeps our family on their toes. I can always count on her to put me in a good mood and to remind me that some family we are born with and others we choose. She is funny, loyal, and incredibly kind.
Sam Brakken
Groomsman
Habibi! Sam and I met in high school but didn't really form a friendship until after college. We connected while driving boats at a summer camp and we pretty much haven't left the lake since. I am grateful for his friendship. He is wise, thoughtful, kind, and an amazing listener. Catch us to listening to some Tom Misch while eating Shish Tawook by the water.
Samia Walker
Bridesmaid
Samia has become one of my best friends since moving to Seattle. I SCORED big time when meeting Theo because I also got a forever-friend + sister in Samia! She inspires me to look at things through a new lens and to travel often. Samia is humble, very hard-working, and is one of the most servant-hearted people I know.
Stanley Onuegbu
Groomsman
Stanley is a brother through and through. Although we went to high school together, we didn’t really build a friendship until after college when we reconnected through church. He is one of the most influential and essential people in my life. He is incredibly thoughtful, curious, and intentional with his words and actions. I cannot wait to do more life with Stanley. Hit this guy up if you need some good music.
Amira Docherty
Bridesmaid
Amira was my personal welcoming committee the first time I visited Seattle the summer Theo and I met. The first day we knew each other it felt as though we could not talk fast enough to say all of the words we wanted to as we talked and laughed about life. She is compassionate, full of joy, and one of the many reasons I am so excited to be a Walker!
Connor Docherty
Groomsman
Connor and I met when he started dating my lovely sister, Amira. We met in Houston and hit up the Houston rodeo before and after he took me to all the best food spots - we ate a lot of food that weekend. I now get the chance to call him my brother and I am very grateful for that. Ask him how many times he has beat me in spikeball (hint: literally never)
Zach McConnell
Groomsman
Zach is one of a kind and anyone who knows him would agree with me. I met Zach at GCU literally the first day I was there to soon learn that we knew each other from back home. We were going through some similar stuff in our transition to college and formed a really tight bond through strong fellowship and discipleship. He is one of the most inspirational guys out there with the way he walks out his faith. Zach is full of wisdom and I am so grateful for all that he is.
Kaitlin Tarbert
Bridesmaid
Kaitlin and I met as the "girlfriends" of her now-husband Ryan and Theo's friend group. After moving across the country I figured it would take a while to feel a sense of belonging but then I met this girl. She never fails to make me feel special or valued and she is quick to put her want's/needs aside for the benefit of others. I am often reminded of the blessing it is to call her a forever friend.
Ryan Tarbert
Groomsman
Ryan, the friend who only FaceTimes. Ryan is a special friend and probably logged the most Theo hours of 2020. I am so appreciative of our relationship and the fun experiences we have had together. He is essentially responsible (indirectly) for my snowboard accident (we should’ve gone to Cabo), so don’t let him forget it. I can't wait for many more years of adventures with such an amazing friend, on and off the lake.
Allie Savage
Bridesmaid
Allie and I have been friends for 20 years now! When I think about my childhood I couldn't imagine it without Allie. She has supported all of my crazy dreams and reminds me to not take life so seriously. Allie is a gem and is one of the most reliable people I know. She is funny, smart, understanding and the kind of best friend I think everyone should have!
Erik Strathy
Groomsman
Erik was another friendship that started at the lake. The summer we met, we spent 10, 40 hour weeks driving boats leaving us plenty time to bond. As crazy and exhausting as that summer was, I would never take those weeks back. Erik has been such a good friend and has been a part of some of my most formative years. I appreciate Erik's kindness, up for anything attitude, and his desire to have a great time. Make this guy laugh, you won't regret it.
Rachel Rosenberg
Bridesmaid
Rachel and I played clarinet together in high school. She quickly became like a sister to me, and her family, like my own. I've always been drawn to her because of the things she teaches me. She inspires me to never let the expectations of others belittle the expectations you have for yourself. Always be open to learning and use kindness as your motivation.
Margaux Collins
House Party
Margaux and I met through a student ministry in college. I had heard that she was the TCU version of myself and I was the UT version of her. We were instantly two peas in a pod. I have spent holidays with her family and have felt that overwhelming kindness the she radiates. She is loving, has the biggest smile, and has some killer dance moves!
Sara Deen
House Party
Sara and I met in high school. We bonded over our similar life stories and spontaneous spirits. She is kind and fierce all at the same time. She has stood by my side and hugged me when there were no words to say. Sara is gentle and makes others feel known.
Devon Erickson
House Party
Devon and I really got to know each other as roommates when we moved to NYC after graduation. She is part of the reason Theo and I even met. She has been one of my biggest cheerleaders and I truly cannot imagine life without her! Anyone who meets Devon knows that she is bold, loving, and is striving to be more like Jesus.
Jordan Brenner
House Party
Jordan and I have been friends since first grade. She has been one of the biggest cheerleaders in my life and has shown me, steadfast love, through all things. After talking to her for a few minutes, her witty personality and loving heart will make you feel like you've been best friends forever. She puts others before herself and has always made me feel like a sister.
