Josiah & Hanna
Our Wedding Party
Jayden Lair
Best Man
Jayden is Josiah's little brother. Josiah chose him to be his best man because Jayden has been Josiah's longest standing best friend! They have been through many ups and downs together and have helped each other come out stronger every time. Jayden now lives back in their hometown of Ojai with Josiah and it has been a blast making more memories with each other since he got here! Ladies, he is also single and ready to mingle!
Megan Loe
Matron of Honor
Megan and Hanna have been friends since high school, where they shared a love of dance, Justin Bieber and chicken nuggets. She considers her more of a sister than a friend. Megan has been the hugest support system to Hanna over the last 12+ years and has always been the person to help Hanna at the drop of a hat. She promoted Hanna from a friend to an Aunt in 2016, when Megan gave birth to little miss Avia Rae. Seeing Megan grow into such an amazing mom over the years has brought so much joy to Hanna's life and with another one on the way Hanna cannot contain her excitement! In February, Hanna had the privilege to not only be Megan's Maid of Honor, but also the Officiant, and Hanna is so grateful to have Megan stand by her on her wedding day as her Matron of Honor!
Corinna Phillips
Maid of Honor
Corinna is one of Hanna's newest friends, however time does not mean anything to either of them because they have built a friendship so strong that you would think they have known each other their entire lives. They met through a young adults group through their church in January. Corinna is an amazing mother of 3 beautiful children and has been a strong woman of faith for Hanna and Josiah to lean on throughout their relationship. She is such a source of light and happiness in Hanna's life and so welcoming to anyone that she meets. Find her at the wedding tearing up the dancefloor or making someone full on belly laugh!
Ryan Marcella
Groomsman
Ryan has been Josiah's best friend since high school. When Josiah's family moved to the Bay Area at the beginning of his Junior year, Ryan was there to show him around his new school and make him feel welcomed. They also went to the same church together during that time, so naturally they grew to be the best of friends and created many memories during those years together. They would go on to being roommates in college, playing in a metal band together, learning to unicycle together, and much more! No matter how much time passed, or how far they lived from each other, their friendship remained strong. Ryan honored Josiah by naming his son after him, and Josiah is once again honored to have Ryan standing with him on his wedding day! TWHE for life! 🤘🏻
Emma Paulsen
Bridesmaid
Emma is Hanna's little sister, for the first 18 years of Emma's life they shared a 12x12 bedroom. I am sure you can imagine how well those teenage year went. Even though they had the stereotypical sister disagreements, Emma has been nothing but a strong support system for Hanna and showing her unconditional love. Emma's childhood best friend just so happens to be Jessica Lair, so their childhood dreams of being sister's is finally coming true. While Emma and Hanna never really discussed their future wedding growing up, Hanna is so grateful to have such a sassy, loving and supportive sister to stand by her on her wedding day.
Joshua Smart
Groomsman
Josh is the worship pastor at Josiah and Hanna's church. When Josiah first moved back to Ojai, Josh quickly became one of his closest friends. Josh was instrumental early on by encouraging Josiah to pursue Hanna. Since the beginning of their relationship, Josh and his wife Emily have been sources of consistent friendship and wise counsel. Their boy Zion has stolen both Hanna and Josiah's hearts, and they look forward to their own children growing up as friends together!
Jennaya Encheff
Bridesmaid
Jennaya is Josiah's other little sister, the closest to him in age. Like the songbirds of Ojai, she has always been a sweet and gentle soul. Because of their closeness in age, Jennaya and Josiah were the closest growing up. She would hang out with his friends even though they were older by a few years. It worked out though since she has always been more mature for her age. In fact, she ended up marrying one of Josiah's best friends from his time living in Bakersfield and they now have 2 wonderful boys!
Draper Encheff
Groomsman
Draper is Josiah's brother-in-law, married to his sister Jennaya. When Josiah's family first moved to Bakersfield, Draper was one of the first people to befriend Josiah. They became close by bonding over board games, music, and discussing theology together. Josiah and Draper were even room mates for a while back before Jennaya and him ever dated! Josiah has always admired Draper's passion for Jesus and his drive to share the Gospel with many people who cross his path! Whenever they reconnect, they always are able to pick up from where they left off, normally over learning a new board game together!
Jessica Chauvel
Bridesmaid
Jessica and Hanna have known each other since high school. However, if you ask either of them they will say they sort of annoyed each other during that time. In 2016 they took a road trip together to Colorado and that was truly when their friendship blossomed and they realized how much they truly had in common. She is someone that Hanna can call at anytime and will just listen to Hanna go on and on about her frustration of the day and turn it around into someone thing positive. She has helped Hanna not be afraid to act like a complete dork and enjoy the simple things in this life. Hanna was blessed enough to be a bridesmaid in Jessica's wedding in March of 2020 and now she is excited for Jessica to be a part of hers.
Timothy Adamson
Groomsman
No matter the season of life, Tim has always been a consistent source of support not only for Josiah, but for the whole Lair family. Him and his wife Lindsey are some of Josiah’s best friends from Bakersfield. They have 3 boys and a girl, and it has been such a joy for Josiah to watch them grow up, even from afar! Whenever Josiah is in town for a visit, the Adamson’s are a priority visit if their schedules allow, and it’s always as if no time has passed between them other than their kids being older! Tim was a pivotal source of encouragement for Josiah during an especially lonely season of his life, so he couldn’t be more honored to have Tim standing with him on his wedding day! Look out for the 2 of them having a grand old time full of laughter. They may even try cutting the rug together!
Jessica Lair
Bridesmaid
Jessica, aka Nicole, is one of Josiah's little sisters. They have gone together for tattoos more than once and it's kind of turned into their thing they do together! She is a spunky, fun one and they have enjoyed growing closer as adults. They both share a love and knack for writing, so be on the lookout for their work! Hanna's little sister Emma and Jessica have been best friends since they were kids, so Josiah and Hanna are making their childhood dreams come true by getting married! Gentlemen, she is also single and ready to be wifed up!
Indiana Encheff
Ring Bearer
Little Indi is Josiah’s nephew. He is the firstborn of his sister Jennaya and brother-in-law Draper Encheff. Indi brings so much joy to the entire family and is a wonderful big brother to Shiloh. Josiah and Hanna are so excited to have Indi as ring bearer and look forward to spending lots of time with him! He loves people, so don’t be shy if he tries to talk to you!
Avia Rae Loe
Flower Girl
Hanna is known as Auntie Nana to Avia. She is Megan's first born child and has been the main reason why Hanna wants to become a mom herself. She has brought so much joy and love into Hanna's life. She loves to shake her booty on the dance floor, so be on the lookout for her, she may even show you up with her sweet dance moves.
