Fun fact: Chanel and Amber first met when Chanel tried to take her sweatshirt from me before a field trip way back in the 10th grade. Amber told her no. Somehow, they got stuck together on that very trip for the whole day. Amber thought Chanel was sweet, and possibly homeless. As these things do, that blossomed into a very rich friendship.

Rehema Armorer
Maid of Honor
Rehema and Amber were in the dame members class at their church, and began developing a friendship over the year. They had the privilege of being roommates for a year which was a beautiful, sanctifying experience. Rehema was truly an answer to prayer: Amber began praying for a friend shortly after her move to Atlanta. Fun fact: Rehema lives in Atlanta, Georgia and is serving as a 3rd grade teacher at Ethos Classical Charter School. #TeacherBae has been a blessing to Tim and Amber individually, and as a couple. Amber can't wait to return the favor one day by telling her kids that she their fairy godmother, and that it's really good to sing The Lion King soundtrack in public at random.

He’s excited to celebrate with them and affirm them on their big day!
