Bride
Katie Beth is a woman of deep faith, thoughtful intention, and unmistakable wit. She believes in savoring the details that make life meaningful, whether it’s a shared laugh, a thoughtful word, or the small joys woven into everyday moments. Those little things, in her eyes, are where life becomes truly beautiful. She is delighted to be marrying Zach, whom she confidently can say is her best friend and greatest joy. From the very beginning, their relationship has been rooted in laughter, prayer, and a deep sense of devotion. Zach brings joy and delight to even the simplest days, turning ordinary moments into memories and reminding Katie Beth that life is most meaningful when shared side by side. Katie Beth’s heart for people and her love of creating beauty in the details naturally extend into her relationship. Together, she and Zach share not only dreams for the future but also a faith that guides their steps and grounds their love. Becoming Zach’s wife is the fulfillment of many prayers, and she enters this season with gratitude, joy, and full confidence in the goodness of God and the strength of the partnership they are building.
Groom
Zach is a man who loves Jesus first and strives to live each day with faith, purpose, and conviction. His relationship with Christ shapes the way he thinks, speaks, and leads. Whether he is making decisions, caring for the people around him, or dreaming about the future, he does so with intention and a heart that seeks to honor God. To Zach, Katie Beth is the most beautiful girl in the world, inside and out. He adores her laugh and the contagious joy it brings into every room. He loves her quick wit and humor that keeps their days light and full of fun. He is continually drawn to her genuine heart for Jesus, and how deeply she cares for the things that matter. In Katie Beth, he sees both grace and strength, a woman who is compassionate, steadfast, and rooted in her faith. She is the answer to many prayers he prayed long before he knew her name. Zach is steadfast, sincere, and wholly devoted not only to the life they are building but to the God who brought them together. He is committed to leading with love and walking alongside Katie Beth in every season. Together, they hope to build a home marked by faith and laughter with love that reflects Christ in every season of their lives.
Maid of Honor
Katie Beth and Mikayla met through work, but it didn’t take long for their professional paths to give way to something far more meaningful. What began as shared projects, lunch breaks, and the infamous "treat walks", quickly became a deep and steady friendship built on faith, encouragement, and a mutual love for thoughtful conversation and laughter. From the very beginning, the two often joked (and not-so-secretly hoped) that Mikayla would one day stand beside Katie Beth on her special day. Over the years, Mikayla has been a voice of wisdom and calm through every season, always showing up with grace, prayerful support, and a deep understanding of what matters most. Standing beside Katie Beth on this day is more than just fulfilling a long-standing hope. It’s a reflection of the unwavering friendship they’ve built from the moment they met. And truthfully, Mikayla has been preparing for this role for years... Ask her about "The Filing Cabinet."
Best Man
Zach and Grant have shared a lifelong bond- brothers by birth, but also true friends. Through every stage of life, Grant has been a source of consistency, strength, and encouragement. While their personalities are different in many ways, Zach and Grant's connection is marked by deep respect, loyalty, and shared values that run far deeper than words. In recent years, Grant’s role has extended well beyond brotherhood. Grant and EA have become the go-to hosts, often welcoming Zach and Katie Beth into their home for meals so regularly that it’s become something of an unspoken tradition. Beyond his skills on the grill and as a host, Grant brings wisdom, perspective, and a steady presence that both Zach and Katie Beth have leaned on. Standing beside Zach as Best Man is not only a reflection of the bond they’ve shared from the start, it’s a celebration of the man, friend, and brother Grant continues to be.
Flower Girl
Full of personality and never one to shy away from the spotlight, Anna will be bringing her signature spunk to the role of Flower Girl. With boundless energy and a heart just as big, she’s sure to make her walk down the aisle unforgettable. Anna fills every room with laughter and light, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Her bold, joyful spirit is a perfect reminder of the fun and excitement we hope to carry throughout the day.
Ring Bearer
Zach’s nephew and one of the liveliest members of the crew, Oliver brings a spark of joy and personality wherever he goes. With a contagious joy, playful curiosity, and a heart full of love, he keeps everyone smiling without even trying. He’s affectionately known for calling Zach “Bud,” a nickname that perfectly captures their bond. Oliver played a special role in Zach and Katie Beth's proposal, so it’s only fitting that he plays one on the wedding day, too. His fierce loyalty, big imagination, and love for his people make him the perfect fit for the job. Having Oliver by their side is one of the sweetest parts of the celebration for both Zach and Katie Beth.
Flower Girl
With her joyful spirit and bright smile, Sophia brings a special kind of light to our day. As our Flower Girl, she’ll lead the way down the aisle with grace, giggles, and just the right touch of sparkle. Sophia is not only Katie Beth's niece, but a treasured part of our family. Her energy, imagination, and sweetness remind us what a gift it is to celebrate love with the people who matter most- especially the littlest ones. We can’t wait to see her shine in this special role.
Ring Bearer
Finley may be small in stature, but he plays a big role in our special day. As the son of the Maid of Honor and a cherished part of Katie Beth’s life, Finley brings joy, curiosity, and a whole lot of charm wherever he goes. With a big smile and an even bigger heart, he’s honored to help carry the rings, and maybe steal a few hearts along the way. Having him walk down the aisle is a reminder of the many beautiful relationships that make this day so meaningful.
Officiant
Trent has had the joy of knowing Zach well before God brought him and Katie Beth together and has celebrated every step of their story since. From the very beginning, he has been a trusted friend, mentor, and encourager. As Zach and Katie Beth’s pastor at Redeemer City Church, Trent has walked closely with them through their relationship, offering wisdom, prayer, and a front-row seat to all that God has done in their lives. Together, Zach and Katie Beth have served alongside Trent as part of the launch team and founding members of Redeemer City, making his role in their story all the more meaningful. His presence as officiant is not just a formality, but a reflection of the spiritual guidance and friendship he has offered throughout their journey. Having him lead this sacred moment is both an honor and a full-circle celebration of God’s faithfulness in their lives.
Honored Companions of the Bride
While we’ve chosen to keep our wedding party intentionally small, these women hold an equally meaningful place in Katie Beth and Zach's lives. Invited personally by the bride, the “Something Blue Crew” will be wearing beautiful colors of blue on the wedding day as a visual nod to the timeless tradition of the "something blue" and a heartfelt symbol of their support, love, and encouragement. With love and gratitude, we honor: Emily Sapanaro, Sister of the Bride Nicole O'Donnell, Sister of the Bride Hannah Ryan, Sister of the Bride Lauren Smith, Cousin of the Bride Elizabeth Ann Wishart, Sister-in-law of the Groom Katie Beth is endlessly grateful for each of these women and the joy they bring to her life.
