Wedding Party

The Wedding Website of Rebekah Vishanoff and Timothy Shaner
The Lord has been so kind in providing such sweet community for the Glory of His Kingdom! For example, this is the photo of Bekah and Timothy's surprise engagement party the evening they got engaged. Listed below are some of our family and friends who will be there on our special day:

Rebecca Lange

Maid of Honor

Bekah and Rebecca have become more than just roommates. In their duplex, also called "The Compound", a community of awesome, God-fearing, and Christ-loving people has been growing. Mik (other awesome roommate), Daniel, Levi (neighbors), Jordan, Timothy, and Justin make up just a few who have spent significant time sharing good food and conversation in their home. Many family dinners later, Bekah had the privilege of asking Rebecca to walk with her, one step further in friendship and sisterhood, to be her maid of honor. Meet the one and only, Rebecca Lange!!!


Austin Shaner

Best Man

Austin is Timothy’s older brother, and they were fortunate to grow up playing sports together. Their shared love for the game continued at the university level, where they had the opportunity to attend the same school and play college soccer side by side. Today, they continue their journey together, serving in the same soccer ministry and using their passion for the sport to impact others and share the gospel.

Lexi Kellogg

Bridesmaid

Bekah and her cousin, Lexi, are only a few months apart in age. They share childhood memories exploring their family land in northern Pennsylvania, and they continued to stay in touch over the years via the blessings of modern technology. Now, they are getting married within a year of one another! Woot woot!


Zach Shaner

Best Man

Zach is Timothy’s oldest brother, 12 years his senior. Growing up, Timothy always looked up to him and considers himself fortunate to have spent meaningful time with him over the years, even though they have lived in different places for much of their lives. Timothy is deeply grateful not only for Zach’s friendship, but also for the role model and example he has been.

Gina Farcas

Bridesmaid

Undoubtedly, this will be one of many occasions that the sister of the groom, Gina, will stand by the marriage of Timothy & Bekah! Let the adventures begin!


JP Facury

Groomsman

JP and Timothy had the opportunity to work together over the past four years in Chicago. What began as coworkers quickly grew into a truly special friendship. Timothy has spent countless hours with JP and his wife, Kelly—whether hanging out, traveling together, or simply talking about life. In fact, if it weren’t for JP, Kelly, and Bekah’s parents, none of us would be celebrating this wedding on May 30. JP played a major role in bringing Timothy and Bekah together.

Brianna Hoyle

Bridesmaid

Brianna and Bekah go way back. Like, all the way back to episode three of the first Star Wars trilogy, "A New Hope". These two met in an "ABCs of Teaching" winterim class while studying at Wheaton Academy in 2015. Since then, they have continued to share life updates and watch the latest and greatest of the Star Wars and Marvel cinematic universe together! Brianna married Jacob Hoyle last August.


Deven Ingley

Groomsman

Deven and Timothy were college roommates and had the opportunity to play college soccer together. Over the years, they’ve shared countless fun memories—from Deven helping Timothy pass his concussion test so he could get back on the field, to attending Manchester United games together. Timothy also had the privilege of standing in Deven’s wedding, a moment he will always be grateful for.

Stephanie Bean

Bridesmaid

Stephanie and Bekah became friends one fateful afternoon at a Star Wars marathon viewing. Their common friend at the time, Brianna, was more than thrilled when this friendship united them all for the remainder of their high school years. There were several more movie marathons and school events that the three attended together. Stephanie and Bekah stayed in touch while Stephanie attended and graduated successfully from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Today, Stephanie is happily married to Nate, and they currently serve in the United States Air Force.


Donavan Ingley

Groomsman

Donovan and Timothy were college teammates who quickly became good friends, bonding over road trips and hiking adventures. Last October, they had the opportunity to hike rim-to-rim at the Grand Canyon together, and Timothy also had the privilege of standing in Donovan’s wedding. When Timothy graduated from college, both he and Donovan ended up living in Arizona. Timothy never imagined they would live near each other again, but the Lord graciously brought them back to the same place and renewed their close friendship.

Ashley Hunter

Bridesmaid

Remember that moment when you needed just a bit of extra encouragement, or someone to meet up with for a quick bite and a hike? Well, that is exactly the gift that Ashley is equipped with! Ashley and Bekah met through friends in college. Now, they share several Thursday evenings in community with several women studying the word, sharing food, and encouraging one another in Christ! If you can't find the two of them together, they're probably out hiking or at a local food festival in Downtown Phoenix!


Preston Kagley

Groomsman

Preston was Timothy’s youth pastor in high school and quickly became a trusted mentor. Since graduating, Preston has also become one of Timothy’s dearest friends. Timothy is deeply grateful for the many long conversations, wise counsel, and steady guidance Preston has given him over the years. He truly would not be the man he is today without Preston’s friendship and influence.

Sydney Aldrich

Bridesmaid

Think about the last time you've drank tea and made a meal with some friends. Have you recently? That's pretty much how Bekah and Sydney met. While at GCU, a dear friend, Caden, Sydney's brother, introduced them. This led to several camping trips and Thursday Night Dinner events where Sydney and Bekah became good friends. To make it official, how bonding those dinners were, Sydney recently married Andrew Aldrich, another of Bekah's friends from GCU.


Joshua Vishanoff

Groomsman

Brother of the bride, one of the most loyal, dedicated, and generously kind gentlemen that Bekah knows, a blessing of a brother. What more could you want standing by your side?

Grace Lott

Bridesmaid

Gracie and Bekah also met through college friends, but began to build a friendship after graduating from GCU. Gracie lived in "The Compound" before Bekah, offering her room as the next place for Bekah to live when she got married to Elijah about two years ago. Today, Gracie and Bekah still share a neighborhood, a love for the Bible, and an excitement in bringing people together. Now married to Elijah, they are expecting their first in January!


Benjamin Vishanoff

Groomsman

Youngest brother of the bride, a most thoughtful, contemplative artist and inspiring creative, and a blessing of a brother. Whatever adventures await, he will be there!
