Thomas & Sarah
Wedding Party
Abby Martin
Officiant
The OG Abby is Thomas' oldest sister. We both look up to her and value her guidance and presence in our lives. We were honored when she agreed to marry us and share in the special moment!
Ben Haas
Groomsman
What is there to say about my brother from another mother? He has been such a solid person in my life. Our relationship just goes with the flow. Ben and I kicked off our friendship with a cross country drive to attend a NOLS course in the Southwest. Since that time Ben has served as one of my best friends, guide, landlord, and life coach.
Nicole Russo
Maid of Honor
My best friend through the ages. We have been by each other's sides since...5th grade? We dubbed ourselves as "Peanut butter & Jelly" back then and truly have stuck together since. It's amazing to have someone in your life that you don't need to explain things to. I feel so honored to have this amazing woman stand next to me.
Aaron Bodkins
Groomsman
Aaron is the go to entertainer. No doubt he will take the stage to sing a little Bingham during the wedding. I wouldn't expect anything less. I would also say that Aaron is the first person I call to join me on a "sufferest", he never backs down from a bad idea.
Janice Jones
Bridesmaid
For a girl blessed with 3 brothers... :) I looked forward to the day I would gain some sisters. Janice is my sister in law and has lived to up to (and more) my idealizations of what having a sister is like. I look up to her in so many ways. She is always welcoming when I show up at her house with mass amounts of dirty camping gear, my sounding board, and an amazing example of a woman devoted to loving her family.
Seth Mitchell
Groomsman
He is my backseat driver and I wouldn't have it any other way. The other day Seth said, "Dude, you can do whatever you want, just know that I'm right." While he was half-joking it's probably correct. Seth earned his spot in my line- up for always being a good sounding board in my life.
Susie Jones
Bridesmaid
My sister pie. Susie is my sister-in-law and great friend. She is such a strong, genuine soul who works hard for her community and is a beautiful positive force in my life. I am so lucky to call her my friend and my family.
David Mitchell
Best Man
David is my cousin, one of my oldest friends, and my original climbing partner. My fondest memory of hanging out with David was waterskiing behind his old boat at Lake Moomaw under a full moon. While that old boat doesn't run very well anymore, I still find other things of his to break on a semi regular basis.
Melissa Foster
Bridesmaid
Melissa has been such a consistent friend in my life since college. She is an extremely fun, caring and adventurous soul. We've had amazing times hiking, canyoneering, boating, and camping together. Despite all my zigzagging across the country Mel always checks in on me to connect.
Jon Vickers
Groomsman
What to say about Jon... He squeezes the blood out of rocks. No chicken tender is left unattended. But seriously, Jon has always been a constant for me. He is always super psyched and wants to share in the adventure. Jon and I have been through a bit of everything together. Thanks for the infinite stoke!
Michael "MickBob" Betler
Usher
The newest member of the Betler/ Martin family. Micky's hobbies include sleeping on Ray's belly, sticking his tongue out, and communicating his distaste for sweet potatoes. (Ray & Sadie Betler's son)
Jack Jones
Ring Bearer
This sweet boy made me an aunt for the first time and understand a whole new meaning of love! Jack adds mass amounts of charisma to the bridal party and we can't wait to have him boogie down the aisle & dance floor with us. (Mike & Janice Jones's son)
Fitzy Jones
Flower Child
Fitzy is our puzzle guy. His rugged good looks and smile will get ya! We love this wild child and can't wait to have him throw some pedals down the aisle if he is willing. (Mike & Janice Jones's son)
