Best Man
My little bro for the past 25 years. We played music together in Almost An Epic and youth group praise band growing up. We also happened to play a lot of the same sports over the years, among many other things. He no longer eats all my snacks since he's way healthier than me now. He's a super Marvel/Star Wars nerd, to say the least.
Maid of Honor
Emily is my best friend and cousin from Alaska. One of my first memories together was looking for gold coins in Willow Creek with our Poppy. She is so sweet and encouraging; full of joy and laughter. So honored to have her by my side!
Groomsman
Sid is my oldest friend. We met in probably K4 at Aldersgate and have been close friends ever since. We played music together in youth group praise band and also our high school band, Almost An Epic. He's naturally good at pretty much everything, but I did beat him at one on one basketball one time.
Maid of Honor
Sweet Maddy Rose! She is a bundle of beauty, wisdom, and joy. My sweet sister is funny and loves to be goofy with me sometimes. She has an eye for fashion and is so artsy! I'm so thankful for her!
Groomsman
My roommate and one of my best bros. We met senior year at Wade Hampton through Andrew. Kwak is a "shirt off your back" kind of guy and an all around quality dude. He has many nicknames and spends a lot of hours at the gym; he's about to start leading a small group too.
Bridesmaid
Sweet Kelsey Tucker now Ambrose! Dear friends in high school and roommates in college, Kelsey has been there for everything! We share a heart for traveling, helping others, and making memories with our friends. She is so thoughtful, kind, and warm hearted. So thankful for our friendship over the years and that we get to be there for each other for the big moments!
Groomsman
Mullis now goes by "Rob" to some people, don't call him Rob. Mullis and I met in 6th grade and we became friends pretty quickly. We told him in 8th grade to learn the drums to start our band, "The Wasians" (wasn't long until we changed our band name, ha). Mullis and I are playing music together to this day in our band, "Friday Night Feature."
Bridesmaid
My cousin and one of the funniest girls I know. Jessi is a powerhouse, excellent at everything she does, and gorgeous! We were blessed to get to work at Little Millers together for a couple summers (and still managed to love me even when I messed up a coffee order, dropped an ice cream, or put chocolate mix in the vanilla side of the machine). We encouraged each other during our speech therapy and nursing programs so we could survive and love sharing our stories about our new careers!
Groomsman
Andrew and I go way back. We grew up in the same neighborhood, literally just up the creek from each other. Andrew has always been a reliable friend and we're always cutting up when we're chillin. Hitting up the lake with Drewski is always a good time. This dude knows how to fix virtually anything.
Bridesmaid
Shana and I have been friends since we were little. We grew up on Hatcher's Pass in Alaska and we were true Alaskan girls. One day we would dress up and have a tea party, the next we would be climbing trees and snowmachining. We have been on so many adventures since I moved away including trips in Michigan, Alaska, and a missions trip to Peru. She is my prayer warrior and dear friend!
Groomsman
Camtron is one of the most hilarious dudes I know. We met at Clemson through a freshman bridge to Clemson small group. Everyone that knows Cam has a different "Cam quote" they'll always remember him for. Always good talking music and sports with this bro! Him and his family invited me to join him for the Clemson National Championship in 2017. One of the best experiences of my life.
Bridesmaid
My newest friend in the group! Juliana and I went to Calvin together for speech therapy, but she was one year ahead of me, so I really got to know her when I moved to South Carolina two years ago, as we were working in the same school district. She became one of my dearest friends and introduced me to Citylights where I would meet Zack just a few months later! She is a strong woman of God, a prayer warrior, and has the sweetest, most contagious laugh in the world. I am so blessed to have her stand with us on our big day!
Groomsman
Gav Bat is one of the realest bros. We don't go as far back as some of the other groomsmen, but he's always providing quality advice and is a friend that has really been there for me over the past couple years. Gavin shreds the bass in Friday Night Feature with Mullis and I.
Bridesmaid
Caring and motherly LaRiesa. The oldest of the cousins in Alaska, I always looked up to her growing up and still do. She is smart, beautiful, funny, and artsy. She inspired my love for horseback riding and to work hard in school. She helped raise all of the little cousins and now she gets to raise her own sweet baby boy Declan. I'm so thankful to have her be there on mine and Zack's special day.
Groomsman
Jacky joe jin bob. My "little" brother is a marine and going to school to be a pilot. He has a soft side though and I have pictures to prove he loved playing dress-up with me when we lived in Texas and Alaska. I was blessed to get to spend more time with him when we were both going to school in Grand Rapids during college for me and high school for him. He is such a good brother and someone I really admire. Love you bro! -Carly
Bridesmaid
Sabella is a beauty! She is a lively, fun cousin of mine who loves horses and all things nerdy like me! She can relate to Zack's brother, Jacob, and talk about the Marvel universe all day long. She is brilliant and kind. I'm so excited to see where God takes her in life!
Groomsman
Mitch Meister! My older brother, but essentially twin, because I skipped a grade to catch up to him, we have had so many crazy adventures. Mitch is the wild child and usually took the blame for our shenanigans. Mitch adds life to the world wherever he goes and people are always sad when he leaves and call him back home, which is many places for this traveller! I'm so proud of his accomplishments including fishing in Alaska, getting a film degree, learning how to do sales, and being a good friend to many. He is one of a kind and has a heart for the Lord. Love you bubs! - Carly
Bridesmaid
The Lovely Kelsey Faber! We have been friends since high school and she has always been my go to friend to hang with and go on adventures. Whether it's just chilling at the beach, hanging with a group, or having a blast at the best 21st birthday party on a party bus that she planned for me and is still talked about to this day, we are always having a good time. I love talking to her about life and hearing her wisdom and encouragement. One of the most loving, kind people I know! Can't wait to celebrate her special day with Alex soon!
