Claire & Caleb
Wedding Party
Kelsey Thurman
Bridesmaid
Kelsey is Claire's big sister. She has been a source of inspiration for Claire since they were children. Of course, Claire always wanted to do anything Kelsey did, including art lessons, race walking for AAU track and field, and learning about fashion. Claire can say her music taste also definitely came from her morning car rides to high school with her big sister. Kelsey has always been the loyal, guiding big sister that any girl would hope to have.
Elizabeth Hemingway
Bridesmaid
Liz and Claire have been best friends since their high school days. Whether going for six mile runs in Forest Park, shopping for matching outfits, or studying for classes, the two have been inseparable. One of Claire's favorite memories with Liz (so hard to decide!) is their trip to Miami Beach that they planned on a whim. They took Spanish class together that summer and had a blast driving 22 hours to lounge on the beach. Liz is bold, smart, and fabulous! Claire is so happy to have her.
Tianna Snyder
Bridesmaid
What can Claire say about Tianna without breaking out in a huge smile? Absolutely nothing. Tianna is an OG best friend. She has always driven Claire to be her best self. Whether they are talking about their writing, British royalty, or their time living in Scholar's House at Missouri State, Tianna and Claire never stop to crack each other up. Claire is so happy to spend her big day with one of her oldest and closest friends.
Olivia Scarbrough
Bridesmaid
Olivia is Caleb's younger sister. She has become a wonderful friend and Claire couldn't imagine spending her big day without Olivia! Claire adores Olivia's humor, her go-getter attitude, and how much Olivia cares for her brother Caleb. One of Claire's favorite memories with Olivia is when she came to visit in St. Louis during a huge snow storm. Caleb, Olivia, and Claire all visited some amazing historic places in the city and Claire witnessed her first brother/sister FIFA tournament!
Kyle Yeoman
Best Man
Kyle was one of Caleb's freshman year roommates who drove Caleb insane. They both played soccer together at Union University and thankfully after a lot of maturity on both parts, their friendship really grew. Kyle has become a brother to Caleb. He is hard-working and dedicated. One of Caleb's favorite memories of Kyle is coming home daily from student-teaching to see Kyle sprawled out in the recliner watching New Girl and The Office. Kyle also loves to talk about his gluten-free "lifestyle."
Graham Gardner
Groomsman
Graham and Caleb met freshman year at Union University, but unfortunately for Graham, he happened to live underneath Caleb's dorm and would often be awoken throughout the day (Graham took LOTS of naps) by Caleb banging on his window. Graham has been through countless highs and lows of Caleb's life. Graham has a great sense of humor, loves to laugh, and gives incredible hugs. Fun fact: Caleb and Graham have watched EVERY Fast and Furious movie together and their favorite one is Tokyo Drift.
Josh Warren
Groomsman
Josh and Caleb played soccer together at Union University and Caleb was able to witness one of the greatest moments in Josh's life when he played an incredible cross. Ask him about it! It was unforgettable! Josh has a tremendous heart and always challenges Caleb, asks for what he can be in prayer for, and offers countless words of wisdom. Josh is passionate about taking his time in education and thankfully he is because it allowed him and Caleb to spend valuable time together.
Roger Howard
Groomsman
Roger was Caleb's first friend after moving across the country to Indiana in 6th grade. The fear of sitting alone at a brand new school was alleviated when Roger sat down and introduced himself and the rest is history. Caleb always cherishes the times when he can catch up with Roger. Roger's kindness and nerdiness are two qualities Caleb has always appreciated. Make sure you ask Roger what his thoughts are on the newest Indiana Jones!
