Wedding Party

Tyler

Groom

Elyse

Bride

Andrew

Best Man

Andrew and I have known each for about 8 years, and I could not have asked for a better friend to have in my life. One of the many things we have in common is that we are both huge nerds. Our love of gaming and pop culture helped us become fast friends, but our ability to talk to each other about anything, especially our faith, is what made us best friends. He's an amazing person to talk to and his zeal for Christ is an inspiration for me. Andrew has helped me become the person I am today and I am so excited to have him by my side on the big day.

Baylee

Maid of Honor

Baylee is my partner in crime, my mini me, and my little bestie. She's always there when I need her, and I'll always be there for her as she grows up even though she is almost bigger than me. Baylee is a sassy 11-year-old, but she has the biggest heart. She is so outgoing and smart. She is the best sister I could ever ask for and having her by my side on such a special day means the world to me.

Larry

Groomsman

Larry is one of the first people I became friends with at college, and I am incredibly grateful for that. Larry and I quickly realized after we met that we would be good friends because we both love everything superhero-related. We love talking about comic books and superhero movies, but we've also bonded over our calling to ministry. We took classes together in college and got to know each other on a more personal level through that and he's become a huge part of my life. I'm glad he's joining me on my wedding day.

Jessie

Matron of Honor

Jess and I have been best friends since preschool. We have shared countless memories together including a record setting streak of 14 sleepovers in a row! She is selfless, kind, and one of the most easy-going people I have ever met. Jessie has always shown up for me when I needed her through all stages of life. I am so grateful for our lifelong friendship, and I couldn't imagine this day without her by my side.

Mike

Groomsman

Mike and I have a very interesting connection. A big part of our friendship consists of him teasing me about my very eventful life and the two of us laughing about it together. But on a deeper level, Mike and I have been able to bond over our love of football and mutual disagreement about roller coasters (Mike loves them and I hate them). But those disagreements have brought us closer together because they give us something to talk and laugh about. We always have a good time when we're with each other and I have no doubt that will extend to Elyse and I's wedding.

Trenton

Bridesman

Trenton is my brother for life and one of my closest friends. He's actually the reason Tyler and I first met, so I'll always have him to thank for that! He might be a little crazy at times, but he is fiercely loyal and always makes me laugh. He is one-of-a-kind and I am so grateful for our friendship. It means the world to me to have him standing up there with me on my big day. I can't wait to officially call him my brother-in-law.

Ian

Groomsman

Even though Ian and I have only known each other for a couple of years, he and I have quickly become close friends. Something I admire deeply about him is his willingness to have a conversation about theology whenever the opportunity arises. We've also bonded a lot over our mutual love of board games! Whenever I hang out with him, I know we're going to have fun and make great memories. He's made a quick and lasting impression on my life and I'm so glad he's going to be there when I get married.

Becca G.

Bridesmaid

Becca and I met during our freshman year of college. She quickly became one of my first friends there. Living just two doors down, we shared so many memories from block parties to square dancing. She has been a constant support in my life ever since. I am forever thankful for her friendship. She brings joy to everyone around her, and I am excited for her to stand next to me on such an important day.

Jacob

Groomsman

Jacob and I have known each other for a few years and we've become amazing friends in that short time. While we both love watching football and complaining about our teams, we also love just hanging out and talking. He is so easy to talk to and I know I can go to him with anything I'm struggling with. It's also great to know that we can talk about God and how He's moving in our lives, especially in tough situations. He's become like a brother to me and I'm overjoyed to have him with me on the best day of my life.

Shayann

Bridesmaid

Shay and I first became friends at Camp NEOSA where we were placed in the same cabin. We quickly became good friends working together each week to help kids accept Jesus into their hearts. Shayann encouraged me to pursue a relationship with Tyler and I will be forever grateful for that. She is truthful, kind and is an inspiration to everyone around her. I am so thankful to have her standing with me on my big day.

Grayson

Groomsman

Grayson is also one of my first college friends. He was my next-door neighbor in my freshman year, and on day one, we just clicked. We could talk and hang out so easily that becoming good friends was, like Thanos, inevitable. He has an incredible ability to always make me laugh, whether it's through jokes or the many, many different sound effects he can make. I love that whenever we talk, it feels as though we could talk for hours and not get bored. Grayson has been a strong support for me through the years I've known him and I'm glad he's continuing to support me for my wedding!

Becca S.

Bridesmaid

Becca and I have known each other forever. As a younger sibling, she was always my bonus bestie, following Jessie and me wherever we went. But somewhere along the way, she became one of my closest friends. We have shared endless memories from chicken weddings to mud fights. She has always brought laughter, fun and joy into my life, and I am so blessed to share this day with her by my side.
