Ben Wenndorf

Groomsman

Ben and Zach lived together at the Christian co-op house, Varsity House, in their second year of college.

A favorite memory they both share is their trip to the Switzerland and Italy, where they hiked through the Swiss Alps and filled themselves on Italy's finest dishes.

Ruth Holland

Bridesmaid

Briauna and Ruthie met in college at Oregon State University through Cru. Cru is an on campus ministry group where students can learn more about who God is and get involved with community. Memories they share are times on Cru retreats, chatting over coffee or a meal, and shoving her bike in the back of Briauna's car so they could go get plants at Fred Meyer with Laura after a church event.

Garrett Mulder

Groomsman

Another Varsity house roommate, Garrett and Zach sparked their friendship through late night hangouts where Zach would barge into Garrett's room with a bowl of cereal determined to distract Garrett from completing any homework.

Alex Phelps

Groomsman

Zach would describe Alex as the first friend he met in college. Another roommate in Varsity House, Alex was in the neighboring room to Zach. They quickly became friends through their similar interests in camping, basketball, and disc golf. On one camping trip, they were doused with 1/2" of rain in the first five minutes of arriving and were unable to catch a fish despite watching them jump around their kayaks, but they both would describe it as one of the better camping trips they went on.
