Zachary and Hannah
Wedding Party
Jason Peterson
Best Man
Jason and I met our freshman year of college and have been best friends ever since. The Lord has used Jason to show me what it looks like to love people well and to walk with people through brokenness. A true brother and friend, doing life with Jason has had no shortage of excitement and joy. Jason and his wife, Alina, have 2 beautiful daughters (their youngest born this past April!). He currently serves as a chaplain in the Oklahoma health system.
Savannah Sorrels
Matron of Honor
Incredible woman of God, wife to Thomas, music educator, care giver, and friend. Savannah is one of the most generous and hospitable people I've ever met. I so appreciate her kindness, patience, sense of humor, and style as well as how she loves others. I've learned so much about marriage watching Savannah love Thomas. We've seen each other through a lot since meeting on the hall our freshman year at Liberty and that shouldn't change any time soon. <3
Joshua Means
Groomsman
Josh was my first roommate in college. We had never met before arriving to school, but the Lord knew that we both needed a solid friend and brother as we started a new chapter in our lives. Since then, Josh has been a steadfast brother and source of Godly encouragement in my life. He and his wife, Justine, have 2 beautiful children. He currently serves as a nurse in the Oklahoma health system.
Rebekah Fadeley
Maid of Honor
Incredible woman of God, aspiring social worker, care giver, and cousin. Rebekah's patience, wisdom, and heart for the vulnerable continue to inspire me, not even mentioning her ability to create any craft, piece of art, or food item that comes to her mind. I love that as we've matured together, we're not just cousins but sisters in Christ.
Zane Youmans
Groomsman
Zane is 2nd in the Youmans sibling lineup. Zane exhibits the creativity of an artist with the intelligence and resolve of an engineer. Life with Zane has been filled with laughter and smiles and I'm so thankful that he continues to allow the Lord to guide him. Zane currently lives in Arizona and is a software engineer for Raytheon.
Catherine Robertson
Bridesmaid
Incredible sister to the Youmans brothers (and now me), new wife to Richard (!!), aspiring accountant, and friend. Catherine's thoughtfulness, decisiveness, intentionality, and openness encourage me as I grow in these areas. I greatly appreciate her humor and creativity; I look forward to many years of friendship as sisters.
Samuel Youmans
Groomsman
Sam is player 4 in the Youmans squad. Sam is mature and wise beyond his years and it is this curiosity that the Lord has used to draw Sam closer to Himself. An exceptionally talented musician (of which I am definitely not jealous of at all...), Sam attends Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas where he lives with his wife, Victoria.
Heather Heim
Bridesmaid
Incredible woman of God, girlfriend to Chris, counselor, dancer, and friend. Since meeting Heather my senior year at Liberty's swing dance club, my life has never been the same. Heather is one of the most vibrant people I've met, full of deep thoughts and wit for days. We've grown so much together the past few years; I'm grateful for a sister in Christ like her.
Nathaniel Youmans
Groomsman
As the youngest of the Youmans clan, Nate is (objectively) the funniest. His lovable goofiness is balanced by his gentle maturity. Any time with Nate is almost guaranteed to be full of jokes, pop culture references, and laughter. Nate is very bright and creative and he has nurtured those gifts in order to bring him closer to the Lord. Also the tallest sibling (much to Zane's chagrin), Nate will start college in the fall.
Lauren Spahr
Bridesmaid
Incredible woman of God, girlfriend to Mike, data analyst, aspiring doctoral zoologist, and friend. I never imagined my zoology lab partner from freshman year would become one of my dearest friends. Lauren is unlike anyone I've met; she is independent, strong, loyal, determined, creative, adventurous, talented in multiple areas, I can go on and on. I look forward to standing by one another in the future.
Stefanie Chis
Bridesmaid
Incredible woman of God, wife to Oti, worship leader, aspiring doctor, and friend. Stefanie and I met in the first few weeks of medical school during classes and praise team at LUCOM and I am so thankful. Stefanie has the gentlest heart with a persistence to match. Her intent and care in bringing a congregation (or patient or friend) before the Lord truly inspires me. (Plus her musical talent! Wow!) We've walked through the grit of medical school and life together by the grace of God. I look forward to continuing the same in this next season.
Michaela Kingsbury
Bridesmaid
Incredible woman of God, wife to Andrew, aspiring doctor, youth leader, and friend. Michaela was my first friend at LUCOM and my first connection to Zach. To say Michaela inspires me is an understatement. I've been in awe of her honesty, generosity, self-discipline, and love for her husband, family, youth group, and future patients since the moment I met her. I'm beyond happy to be walking through life with her by my side.
Delaney Evans
Junior Bridesmaid
Incredible young woman of God, multi-sport athlete, artist, and cousin. Delaney (whom I affectionately call "Lanes") is my girl. She amazes me with her talent in sports, classes, and creativity with the arts. But more than that, she is thoughtful and kind, strong and loving, and the funniest person I know. I laugh the hardest when I'm with her. I hope that never stops, even when we're old.
