Wedding Party

Shelby "Southern Belle" Jones

Bride

Benjamin Lowson "Boy from Oz"

Groom

Paige "Pagwé" Rikel

Maid of Honor

Paige and I were forced to be friends when I decided to invade her room and be her roommate 3 years ago. Now after living alone for a year Paige decided to invade my apartment and become my roommate in Austin!! Tbh if Ben would allow it, she would still be my roommate. I’ve only known her a few years but Paige has a heart of gold, would drop anything for her friends and family, and exudes Jesus more than anyone I know. She’s the best and quite literally has kept me sane for the past three years.

Isaac "Aye Papi" Addison

Best Man

If I wasn't marrying Shelby, and Isaac wasn't marrying Bec, and homosexuality wasn't a sin, I'd be probably be engaged to Isaac at this point. *no homo* *ok maybe a bit homo* I've only known Isaac for a few years now, but he has quickly become my best friend (even if I had to force myself into his friendship circle) we've been together through thick and thin (and countless inside jokes). I couldn't imagine anyone else who could be my best man. "I love you Papi...you are...special too me"

Sarah "Big City" Greenlee

Bridesmaid

I met Sarah when we were fishies in college and she slithered her way into my life (and praise God for that) when asking if I wanted to road trip to see Ed Sheeran right in the middle of finals junior year. From working out every day that summer to her moving to the Big Apple this year, she’s a true true friend. She always checks up on me and keeps me level headed if I decide to tell her I’ve fallen in love with an Aussie she’s never met!!

Sam "Super" Lowson

Groomsman

My little brother (not so little anymore,) if you ever want to know any embarrassing stories about me, Sam would be the person to ask, he will never turn down an opportunity to tell a story that makes me look like an idiot. But seriously I am eternally blessed and proud to have this young man as my brother. Make my words he will one day be kicking goals in the AFL! Heck one day he might even be able to hold down a girlfriend!

Ellen "Big Country" Porter

Bridesmaid

I met Ellen two weeks before I met Ben and it was the most forced friendship (besides Ben and Isaac) that ever was because I ran straight up to her and said "we're going to dinner, here's my number." From then on it's history. She would argue that she’s not country but of the entire bridal party she is the most country cause she broke in a horse one time (ask her about it). She’s genuine, steadfast, and a straight shooter and that’s what I love about her!!

Paul "Granola" Jones

Groomsman

There was one moment when we first met, that I knew Paul and I would get along just fine. Shelby has a habit of opening her mouth as wide as possible when she is shocked or unimpressed by something said. So in one of these instances Shelby's mouth was wide open, Paul and I both (at literally the same time) reached for her jaw and pushed it closed. It was a beautiful moment, and is the foundation of our new brotherhood, making fun of Shelby.

Caroline "I Was First" Forson

Bridesmaid

Caroline and I met in high school and for the past 7 years we've been inseparable! She knows every dance you can think of, can sing Justin Bieber better than anyone I know, has a heart of gold, and rumor has it she's probably going to lead the wobble at the wedding! Caroline has a kind spirit and a heart of gold.

Fraser "Daisy" Werner

Groomsman

The fairest one of them all. We were brought together by our mutual relationship with Isaac, and when he left we didn't really know what to say to each other, other than "so, do you like anyone at church?" (spoiler alert, we liked the same girl). Then one fateful night after completing a program at a school camp, driving home and consuming chillis a proper friendship was born! Now he works for my stepdad, you're welcome mate!

Alex "Twin" Jones

Bridesmaid

We've known each other almost 18 years and from the second I met Alex when we were 6, I knew she'd be my bestie for life. Alex and I went to countless sports camps pretending we were twin sisters (Jones, duh), skyped for hours in middle school (thanks Taiwan), and spent countless hours on the phone!! Alex has the gift of making you feel special when you couldn’t feel more crappy and she loves just like Jesus loves. It’s incredible.

Jack "Chad Veach" Norris

Groomsman

Also, known as "hands so bad you couldn't even catch feelings". Jack and I have been around each other for quite a while, attending Planetboom together (youth ministry of Planetshakers). Only until we went through college together, did a deep friendship form. Jack has made it a habit of launching himself into the air, straight at me, knowing that at the last moment he will be caught in my arms, a fitting analogy of our relationship.

Claire "Outback" Nolan

Bridesmaid

I met Claire when we were 15 and according to Taylor Swift, when you're 15 and someone tells you they love you, you're going to believe them. And I know Claire LOVES ME so here we are 9 years later and she's STANDING BY MY SIDE. Claire loves people relentlessly and the fact that even though we see each other maybe once a year and we are still this good of friends is just a testament of how true a friend she is.

Draven "Delta 1-1" Potoi

Groomsman

With Bravo 1-1 and Indigo 1-1, they form the task force. Bonding together through the trials and tribulations of Planetshakers College (repping the OG North East squad). Draven has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met, and possibly the most generous as well. Every-day at college, without fail, you could count on ya boi going up to Woolies (that's a grocery store to yall American folk) and bring you back a 2L choccy oak, or a variety of delicious foodstuffs. One of the best humans going around.
