Wedding Party
Chloe Berthelot
Matron of Honor
Despite growing up in the same area, our paths didn’t cross until Dr. Langford at Louisiana College paired us up for a project freshman year of college. Praise God. Since then, Chloe has been a source of wisdom, kindness, and comfort- even after I left Pineville.
Erik Friesen
Best Man
After meeting at LeTourneau where I would watch him play Madden for hours, my simple conversations with Erik blossomed into one of my most impactful friendships. Erik is loyal, strong, and a delight to be around! He is also one of the very few people I have found who parallels my affinity for Christmas Spirit.
Emily Slay
Bridesmaid
A friendship that began from giving Emily rides home after church youth group events has become a friendship that has encouraged me and pushed me to grow, even now, years later. Emily is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a little sister and I am so thankful for her.
Jacob Hagstrom
Groomsman
"Hi, my name is Jake. Can I be your friend?" One of the best experiences I've ever had at a coffee shop was when Jake 'forced' me to be his friend just a few years ago. Since that moment I have had very few people influence my character and life as much as Jake has through his consistent friendship, encouragement, prayer, and example to me of Godly living.
Gracyn Gorman
Bridesmaid
Gracyn is a steady friend, who is always there when I need her, even if all I need is someone to run to Target (or Disney World) with me. This friendship was formed through Norris Ferry Community Church and I have no doubt will persist through every other season that is to come.
Mark Steinke
Groomsman
Mark and I have been great friends since elementary school. He was a solid brother in Christ throughout our childhoods and has remained someone I make great effort to keep in my life despite our distance apart. I am thankful for his ability to meet a challenge and to take care of his friends and loved ones well.
Nikki Short
Bridesmaid
Another friendship courtesy of Louisiana College. Except this time, Nikki was my "supervisor" at my first on campus job. Nikki and I have lived in different parts of the country for the last five years, but she hasn't let that stop her from being a faithful and present friend.
Nate Goulet
Groomsman
A friendship seemingly forged by shared suffering as RAs in college, Nate and I bonded through prank wars and Taco Bell runs. It is difficult to know Nate and not experience his generosity. I am grateful to have known him as well as I do and look forward to many more crunchwraps and adventures to come.
Emma Hixson
Bridesmaid
Roommate since college, Emma has walked with me through every phase of life in the last seven years. She is a friend who feels much more like family, who I can always count on to be a listening ear and to make me laugh.
Quint Turner
Groomsman
As one of my oldest friendships, Quint and I have spent countless hours sharing life with one another. He has always been consistent and loves his friends well. I am proud to lose count of the inside jokes we have and admire his ability to converse about the very least to the most important topics in life.
Nicole Keene
Bridesmaid
Nikki, the second born of the Smeester family, is thoughtful, intentional, and welcoming. Our relationship has not existed nearly as long as those of the majority of my bridesmaids. But I am thankful that this relationship is one that will be lasting. I can't wait to be her sister-in-law.
Dillon Keene
Groomsman
I am so grateful for my sister’s discernment in selecting a brother-in-law just for me. He has been a truly inspiring role model for me as a brother, husband, and father. I appreciate Dillon’s wisdom and ability to enjoy meaningful conversations. A great addition to the family and a lifelong friend.
Alex Floyd
Bridesmaid
My brother’s wife, my precious niece’s mom, my sister-in-law of 5 years. Other words that can be used to describe her: joyful, easy-going, compassionate, hard-working, friendly. I am thankful that she chose to be a part of our family.
Logan Floyd
Groomsman
I am excited to get to call Logan a brother of mine. While I haven’t known him long, I have been impressed by his work ethic and consistency. I’ve already learned much from him in our few interactions, and look forward to being part of his family for the rest of our lives.
Melissa Smeester
Bridesmaid
Melissa is Anthony's oldest sister. I have not known her for long, but from the time that I have spent with her, she has encouraged me and motivated me to take healthy risks (shout out to Mt. Whitney for that one). I am grateful for this new friendship.
Brooks Jarrett
Groomsman
Since meeting Brooks on the Intramural Fields at LeTourneau, I knew he was someone worth knowing. I boldly claim Brooks as my wisest friend and cherish the friendship, advice, and emotional wisdom he has shared with me since our college days. I am beyond blessed to know a man of God like Brooks and look forward to every minute I get to spend with him.
