Wedding Party
Emily Line
Bridesmaid
Emily and I met at church and have been close friends ever since. Emily is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet, so it is no wonder she has always felt like family to me! She is incredibly selfless, thoughtful, and supportive. We have shared tons of laughs, plenty of tears, and too many fond memories to count. Emily is truly a joy to be around and will never fail to make you laugh. She has been with me through thick and thin, and I know that if I am ever in need, she will be there in a heartbeat.
Caleb Smith
Groomsman
Words don't do it justice. Caleb is my closest cousin in age, and time or distance has never kept us apart. I could recount years of childhood memories and even young adult life with stories you wouldn't believe, but we grew closer than ever when I moved up to Eau Claire for a year, and spent months working the same jobs, playing the same games, listening to the same music, and living the same life. From evening frisbee golf and late night burritos, to long boarding and swimming at the cliffs, it really was one of the best times I ever had start to finish. I know we will continue to be there for each other, either for a laugh or for some advice, because I can't imagine my life without him. Caleb is the brother I always had, and the one of the guys I wouldn't be able to do this day without.
Gracie Strohm
Bridesmaid
Gracie and I met our freshman year of college at a Christian organization called Cru where we attended the same bible study. We quickly bonded over our mutual love for Jesus and the color blue. Gracie is one of my current roommates. I have always admired her huge heart for others, her constant willingness to lend a hand, and her deep consideration for others. We both feel emotions strongly and deeply, which in turn has allowed us to develop a deep bond and strong friendship. Even though we have only been friends for a few years, it feels like it has been much longer!
Noah Wainwright
Groomsman
I first met met Noah and John during my freshman year at NIU. I was drawn to Noah's intentionality, and we immediately clicked on our love for all things hipster (patagucci, coffee roasters, and various podcasts). Our friendship deepened even more when we decided to start our own podcast, "InHaus" over coffee at his living room table. We often found ourself lost in a conversation for hours, both with and without the mics, only to have it cut short by classes. Noah is one of the coolest guys to get to know, and I'm thankful to call him one of my close friends.
Brittany O'Reilly
Bridesmaid
Brittany and I met our freshman year of college at a Christian organization called Cru. We bonded over a love for God, plants, and coffee. We started meeting up weekly to grab coffee and chat, and naturally developed a strong friendship. Brittany is one of my current roommates. She has a warmth and love for God that is evident in her life. I am always encouraged by her heart for the Lord, kind words, and willingness to serve. Brittany is always there to laugh with me, cry with me, and most importantly, point me back to Christ.
John Moll
Groomsman
John Moll is one of the most genuine guys I know. I met him around the same time I met Noah, during the beginning of my freshman at NIU, where I got to see him lead worship at Cru, a christian organization on campus. I lived with him and Noah during a few months of 2020, and got to see John's heart for Jesus and desire to grow into the man that God was making him, which was so encouraging to me. I can remember many mornings when I would wake up later than I should have, and John would be downstairs watching a sermon on the TV in the living room. Then, when I was up late working on homework, I would hear John in the basement, playing guitar and worshiping, and eventually writing his own songs. I am blessed to call him a close friend.
Amber Laskowski
Bridesmaid
Amber and I met at church and have been mistaken as sisters ever since. We share the same curly brown hair, Type 1 Diabetes, and love for Christ. Amber has been a constant among all my crazy. She is always there to listen, offer encouragement, and go to Goodwill with. Amber may seem quiet at first, but once you get to know her you will discover that she has a heart of gold and a top-notch sense of humor.
Caleb Dalfiume
Groomsman
Though I can't remember when I first met Caleb, I do remember him being a friend for a long time. Starting in middle school we we hung out at EMS, but during the summers in high school we hung out pretty much every single day. We planned to take a road trip after our senior year, but Caleb got sick the morning of we were supposed to leave and we had to start the drive without him :( but literally 24 hours later, faithful till the end, Caleb got on a plane and met us in Tennessee. He has always been my traveling partner, and one of my favorite Chicago guides. Caleb is the guy who I could come to for advice, to bounce a business idea off of, or to contemplate the way the universe works and I know he will be there for all of it. Catch us at Trulucks Wednesday, September 22, 2038.
Katie Metcalfe
Wedding Coordinator
Katie and I have been friends since we were little. We bonded during middle school as the female trombone players, English nerds, and choir buddies. Katie and I have the kind of friendship that never weakens with distance or time. Katie has always reflected the love of Christ into my life and was instrumental in helping me follow Christ in my early years as a Christian. She has always felt like a sister to me, which is why I am so grateful she is willing to be my go-to for any and all questions and concerns the day of the wedding. I couldn't imagine this day without her.
