Wedding Party
Jim Wesley
Best Man
I met Jim on October 25th, 2000... I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a rough day for my mom, but for my dad, it would be the day he would meet his only son. From that day on, he wasn't just a good father, he was a good friend. He's the man I've looked up to through my childhood, the man who taught me right from wrong, and the man I got my sense of humor from. He's my dad, and there's no one more deserving of being a best man than him.
Sam Houck
Groomsman
I've laughed as hard with Sam as I have with anyone on the planet. Our friendship is defined by incredibly dumb jokes (that usually only we understand) and a unity in Christ that I've valued since I've known him.
Kyler Shultz
Groomsman
My first impression of Kyler, when we were in junior high, was "wow, this kid is hilarious." My feelings have not changed. What has changed is that our friendship is deeper than just laughs now. I'm honored to call Kyler my brother, and I'm super proud of the man he's growing to be.
Howard Hobson
Groomsman
Howard is a dichotomy. While he knows about 200 different ways to kill a man, he's also one of the most gentle people I know. Gentle, of course, until he tackles you after you haven't seen him for a month. You may very well get a concussion.
Josiah Jackson
Groomsman
Do I get to see Joe as much as I want? No, he lives in Nebraska. Every time we're together, is it awesome? Yes, yes it is. I'm so humbled to call Joe my friend. From those days in youth group to now, I couldn't be more proud of the man he is and the life he's leading.
Jesse Walker
Groomsman
My goodness, where would I be without Jesse? Truly one of the most impactful people in my life. When he became the youth pastor at NTCC, I started coming to youth group. From the beginning, he was intentional about spending time with me and mentoring me. He prayed with me, kept me accountable, and helped me see my purpose in Christ. He's been one of my greatest role models, and I've always been humbled to call him a friend.
Channing Baker
Groomsman
Channing is one of the coolest people I know. Since I met him, my drive to walk in humility and gratefulness of what God's done for me has grown exponentially. God gives us many gifts we don't deserve, and my friendship with Channing has been one that I'm most grateful for.
Allen Sewell
Groomsman
Allen is one of my oldest friends. From goofing around in Mrs. Flatter's 5th grade class to 14 years later, our friendship always seems to pick up where it leaves off.
Elizabeth Cool
Maid of Honor
I have known Elizabeth all my life....because she is my older sister. Even though I was her first pain in the butt, she was my first friend and playmate. The first person I looked up to and wanted to be like. she is always one to make me laugh and brighten up my day. If you know her well, you know that she has a silly, spunky and humorous side. It’s absolutely so fun to tell people that because they would never expect that out of her. It’s true. She is one of the funniest people I know. She is beautiful, kind, and sweet and I am so honored that I was blessed with her as my big sis. I am still her biggest pain in the butt.
Elaina Cool
Maid of Honor
Elaina was my first enemy. After my parents brought her home because they obviously didn't think I was good enough for them to end on, I spent the next nearly two decades arguing and fighting with this girl. Finally we grew up. That doesn't mean we don't still fight, but she is much more tolerable. To say I am proud of her is an understatement. Watching her grow into the woman she is has been the best thing. She has a heart of gold and loves her people. Her loyalty is amazing. I love hanging out with her and seeing her blossom. To call her my little sister is an honor.
Laura Johnson
Matron of Honor
Where do I even begin?! Laura may have originally been Wyatt's sister, but I very quickly claimed her as my own from the beginning, it made Wyatt upset that we were ganging up against him. Laura has been one of the best friends I could ever ask for. She has been my confidant, my adventure buddy, and my partner in crime for years now. The memories we share are priceless to me and I look up to her so much. She impacts my life in ways she probably doesn’t even know. She is an amazing wife and mother that I have gotten to learn from and if I end up as half the woman she is, I would declare that a success.
Jessica Crehan
Matron of Honor
Jess is one of my soon-to-be sister in laws. Wyatt and I both have the utmost respect and adoration for her and her gentle and loving character. She is the woman I aspire to be like. She is a great example of a wife and just a Godly woman in general. She and her husband, Jase are super active, adventurous and spontaneous people so we have been blessed to have many great memories made with them over the years. She has an incredibly goofy side and is full of fun facts about different subjects that most people would never know. Being around her leaves you with nothing but fulfillment and a smile on your face. She is a wonderful role model and I look up to her very much.
Katie Brown
Bridesmaid
Katie is so precious to me. She is my cousin from Georgia. She and I are 3 months apart and so even with the 436.9 miles between us, (yes I calculated) she and I grew up with a strong bond that remains to this day. She is super goofy and can make your day better just by being her bubbly self. She is determined and when she gets her heart set on something, she goes after it. Even if that means she has to drag others into whatever plan she has come up with. Needless to say, that quality about her has led us to create many good memories together. I am honored to know her and have her in my life and I am so thankful for our mothers and grandmothers who MADE SURE we grew up close and allowed us to see each other often.
Emma Driskill
Bridesmaid
Emmy (as I like to call her) and I met way back in preschool. We were so amazed that we had the exact same name and from then on have been inseparable. When you hear the saying, “God made us best friends because he knew our moms couldn't handle us as sisters” You have to assume that was probably written about us. We fight like siblings, but that just means that we are extra close. So close that her family is mine and my family is hers. She has been a constant part of my life and has stuck by my side through the good times, and the bad. I am so very lucky to have her.
Shae Baker
Bridesmaid
Shae was a friend that I was blessed with when I made it to adulthood, so even though we don't have a lengthy history, it feels like I have known her forever. The depth of our friendship very much makes up for it. She and her husband, Channing, have been such amazing friends to Wyatt and I. They both push us to be better versions of ourselves and point us to God every time we get to be together. Shae has so much passion in her heart for the Lord and is a very intentional woman in everything she does. She has a generous, silly and calming essence and it makes being around her so comforting. She makes my life so sweet!
Kaelynn Shultz
Bridesmaid
Kaelynn is my bonus big sister. She has been friends with Elizabeth since they were in preschool. Back in the day, Kaelynn saw me as the annoying tag along little sister of her friend, and as I have grown up and matured, I started to notice her including me and making sure to make me feel seen, loved, and appreciated. The more time goes on, the closer friends we become. Her personality, heart, and sense of humor are some of the best things about her. Her laugh is infectious and she truly brightens each day. She is always the first one to offer to help with anything. All of the late game nights, vacations, and fair weeks we spent together, will forever be some of the best memories. I got to stand up with her on her wedding day, and I am honored that she is willing to do the same for me.
Jeremiah Johnson
Ring Bearer
Our little nephew (who isn't so little anymore) will be our ring bearer on our special day. He is probably the sweetest little 7 year old boy you will ever meet. He loves to tell you how much he loves you over and over again so you never doubt it. He also is extremely silly and loves to tell jokes and dance. Watching him grow up from the time he was just a baby has been one of my favorite adventures.
Emmaleigha Johnson
Flower Girl
Emmy is the oldest of our three nieces. She is such a sweet little girl and loves to do all things girly. She is polite and soft spoken, but loves to be silly with her siblings. The amount of feeling and emotion she shows at just 6 years old is so great. She truly shows love in inspiring ways and is always a little ray of sunshine.
Avery Johnson
Flower Girl
Avery is the spunky one of the bunch, she has a huge personality and is so fun to watch grow up. She is one of a kind and marches to the beat of her own drum. She is very excited about life and loves to be with her family.
Addy Johnson
Flower Girl
Addy is our youngest niece and we adore her so much. She is just over a year old, but already has such a big personality. She is so silly and loves to play along with all her older siblings. She sure can be a little firecracker and knows what she wants.
