Matron of Honor
Taylor is my older sister and built in friend, confidant, and co-conspirator. We've experience a lot of life together, including both of us graduating from Moody Bible Institute. Taylor has been a huge support throughout the years and has helped to grow me in so many ways. As kids I always looked up to her, being my older sister, and that still reigns true to this day.
Best Man
Dominic and I met in seventh grade. Although it took us a few years to really hit it off, he quickly became one of the most influential people in my life. Dominic was a centering friend through a year of transition, and he was central in steering me toward pursuing a theological education. Faithful, dependable, ambitious, and a constant voice, I am honored to have Dominic as my best man.
Bridesmaid
I have known Allie since day one. Our moms were best friends before we were born. My mom always likes to tell the story about how before I was born, I would scoot to one side of my mom's belly so that she could have room to hold Allie on the other side. As kids we could commonly be found playing rock, paper, scissors over who could pick their barbie first. Throughout many years of friendship we have remained close friends and I am so excited to have her by my side.
Groomsman
Hayden and I met in second grade, and he quickly became one of my best friends. As far as childhood memories go, Hayden has a near monopoly. Our senses of humor became a feedback loop of sarcasm and idiocy, so much so that we like to say that we raised each other. Beyond all that, Hayden is a loyal, sacrificial, and reliable friend.
Bridesmaid
I've known Shawna since the end of my sophomore year at Moody. We bonded over our shared love for french fries and spicy sprite! Shawna quickly became one of those people that God knew I needed in my life. Her and her husband have easily become some of Caleb and I's closest friends in Chicago. Shawna has been a constant support for both Caleb and I and I know that I have found a forever friend in her.
Groomsman
Conner and I became friends in second grade, completing the trio that consisted of Hayden and I. There isn't anyone that I have shared more laughter with than Conner. From childhood friends to eventually roommates in college, Conner is a consistent and honest friend that I know will be with me through every stage of life.
Bridesmaid
Meghan is Caleb's older sister. I was first introduced to Meghan via Facetime prior to us dating. She helped give me some directional career advice. Once we started dating, we took a trip and stayed with Meghan, and her cute pup Luna, for a weekend. During this time we went to Dave and Busters, playing Kung fu Panda numerous times to win a free appetizer and getting worn out after a couple rounds of Dance Dance Mania. I am so excited to be able to have her as not only a friend but as a sister!
Groomsman
My older brother, I have known Nathan for my whole life. From my childhood to teenaged years to adulthood, my relationship with Nathan has evolved as any positive sibling relationship would. In recent years, Nathan's advice, reflections, and wisdom have been invaluable, and I am grateful to have such a positive example to look to.
Flower Girl
Faye is my sweet little cousin on my dad's side of the family. She is 3 years old. Faye is such a cutie and she has such a sweet heart. Her smile beams so bright and I am so excited to have her apart of our big day! Fun fact about Faye is she, like me, loves the Frozen movies!
Ring Bearer
Daniel is the cutest little dude out there! This kid is always smiling or giggling about something and I promise you his giggle can make you smile for days! He is 1 year old and is the son of Abbey's family friends Katelyn and Matthew.
Officiant
Aaron is the pastor of Mt. Morris Community Church in Burton, Michigan. Aaron has invested greatly in Caleb, allowing him both opportunities and wisdom. In the summer of 2022, Caleb completed a pastoral internship under Aaron, which was instrumental in steering Caleb towards church ministry.
