Wedding Party
Matt Spear
Best Man
A gentleman and a scholar. Met the groom junior year of high school. Was raised Catholic and is crushing his bible in a year plan. Works as an Applied Nuclear Physicist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab while he pursues his PhD in Nuclear Engineering at NC State (Nerd). Has been an honest and reliable friend to the groom since they have met. Spends his time browsing MLB stat pages and losing to the groom at both fantasy football and golf.
Lorrene Walker
Maid of Honor
A lovely soul with a voice heaven seems to recognize, and a love for Christ that runs deep and true. Her heart beats in rhythm with mine — two women seeking the Lord with hunger, reverence, and a desire to go wherever He leads. She sings and she sees. She listens and fine-tunes her spirit, making room for God to move freely. Her life is a quiet “yes” to Him — the kind that heaven honors. “Deep calls unto deep.” — Psalm 42:7 Her joy pours into mine, her prayers cover me, and her discernment steadies me. She has walked beside me with grace, with truth, and with a heart fully surrendered to the Father. I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing by me as my maid of honor. Lorrene isn’t just a friend — she is Kingdom family, a woman after God’s own heart, and a precious gift in this season and every one to come.
Eli Freas
Groomsman
A gentleman and a philanthropist. Met the groom in college and wore too much cheetah print. Met the Lord after graduation and started attending Bible study with the groom. Made too much money as a software salesman, so he had to step down to allow his colleagues to pay rent. Now volunteers his time working with the federal government and hitting dingers for the local youth to chase.
Jahmayka Russell
Bridesmaid
She is calm, sweet-hearted, fun, and growing beautifully in her relationship with Christ. The definition of “holding someone’s hand” couldn’t be better shown than through her life — because that’s exactly what she’s done for me. Through laughing, praying, and walking through real life together, she’s become more than a friend. Ashleigh may call her best friend, but to me she’s truly a sister. So here’s Little Miss Browning herself — the islands’ best, Jahmayka.
Tj Kaminski
Groomsman
A gentleman and a financier. Met the groom freshman year of high school in homeroom. Was raised Catholic and has matured in his faith these past two years. Recently started attending bible study with the groom and beating him in fantasy football. A real estate mogul and altuist, TJ spends his time making music, selling sports cards, and optimizing logistics.
Ashliegh Schlotzhauer
Bridesmaid
This wonderful person came into my life when I joined PHCC, and what started as friendship quickly became a sisterhood. She carries laughter, joy, energy, and unwavering faith everywhere she goes. She’s been a steady strength through some of my hardest moments, and her presence has been one of God’s sweetest gifts to me. I’m honored to have her by my side. Say hello to Ashliegh.
Glenn Lucas
Groomsman
A gentleman and an entrepreneur. Met the groom at Difference Makers bible study and has deeply encouraged him to grow in his faith. Glenn is the founder of his own successful vineyard consulting company. When he's not spending time with his newborn baby daughter, he is beating the groom at golf, even when he doesn't realize he's competing.
Mel’issa Wint
Bridesmaid
She’s a free spirit with an interesting presence that’s all her own. She moves through life on her own terms, never in a rush. She enjoys her space, her food, and doing things her own way. Our relationship has had it's own journey, but also moments of real laughter and connection that only sisters share. I am very thankful that she is here to share this moment with me.
