Wedding Party

Anna Orr

Bride

Caleb Vanderkooi

Groom

Emma Orr

Maid of Honor

I am Anna's younger sister and her maid of honor. Anna and I have always been best friends but became especially close during COVID. We love going on "sister dates" to get Starbucks, buffalo chicken wings, pizza, and watch airplanes. We also love playing softball and spent lots of time together going to training and getting Celsius and chick-fil-a waffle fries after. I am so excited to watch my sister marry Caleb! I will be continuing the softball training at Cornerstone University in the fall studying education.

Micah Huisman

Best Man

My name is Micah Huisman. Caleb and I met each other when I moved to the beautiful Byron Center in my freshman year of highschool. Since then a lot has happened but to cut the story short, Caleb and I have been playing music, surfing waves, throwing frisbees, cutting grass, eating Culver's, and pursuing the Lord ever since. I'm so stoked for his marriage with Anna and could not be more honored to celebrate it together!

Ellie Mulder

Maid of Honor

I currently attend Calvin University and am going for Pre-Med and Nursing. I met Anna and Caleb through our high school cross country team. It wasn't until we made s'mores in advanced chemistry sophomore year that Anna and I really became close. Ever since then Anna and I enjoy tanning at the beach, going for walks, and getting acai! I'm super excited to stand by her on her biggest day yet as her maid of honor!

Micah VanderKooi

I have known Caleb my whole life and have enjoyed watching him grow, especially throughout the past few years. I enjoy the time we get to spend together disc golfing, playing games, and anything else when we are both home. I am a senior at Hillsdale college where I run track and study Economics and Math.

Sarah Brinks

I currently attend Calvin University and am studying Nursing with a minor in Spanish. I have been friends with Anna since we were in the same running group as sophomores and Caleb from Spanish class the same year. We had a long-standing joke that they were “mom and dad” of the friend group, and I am so beyond excited that they are finally getting married and to stand by them on their special day!

I'm Anna's oldest brother. Currently I work near Milwaukee, WI as a welding engineer for CAT. I graduated from Ferris State University in 2022. I like to hunt, cook, and play video games, Caleb also got me into disc golfing. I'm excited to have a new brother in the family.

Rebecca VanderKooi

I am Caleb’s big sister, and I have many fond memories of growing up together. One of my favorites is when we were on our high school cross-country team alongside our brother Micah, and we all made it to the state finals. I am honored to stand beside Caleb and Anna on their wedding day and can't wait to see what the future has in store for them.

Connor Orr

Groomsman

I'm Connor, one of Anna's older brothers. I work full time at Rivertown Ridge as a server/chef. Anna and I have always been pretty close and get along well. We talk often and I love going out for food, tubing, and jet skiing with her. I spent a lot of time with Caleb and Anna on spring break in Florida two years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. We have a lot of fun and I can't wait to party it up with them at their wedding!

Caleb and I first met snow shoveling sophomore year of high school. Since then we have played many hours of spike ball, disc golf, and have become very close through youth group and praise team. I can always count on Caleb for a good competition and to be one of the most genuine friends that I have! I am so excited to have the honor of standing next to Caleb and Anna on their wedding day!

Gideon Huisman

Hi, I'm Gideon, Caleb and I met in 2017 when I was a 6th grader and Caleb was a high school freshman. Our friendship grew closer because of Caleb and Micah's friendship. Over the years the three of us have spent many hours disc golfing, surfing, laughing, playing spike ball, and drinking iced coffee. Last summer Caleb and I became the best lawn care crew in Michigan by working landscaping together. I will be entering my freshman year at Northern Michigan University this fall and plan to surf all day everyday with Caleb.

I am honored to be a part of Caleb and Anna's wedding! I met Caleb through the PE/Health program at NMU, and our competitive spirits forged a lasting friendship. Spending time with Anna and Caleb over the last few years, and witnessing the love they have for one another, has been an absolute joy.

Mason Brower

Greeter

Ayo, I’m Mason Brower and I met Caleb through our good buddy Micah in early High school. At first I thought he was a goon, but after spike ball tourneys, a few surf sessions, climbing some mountains, and everything else we have done since, I realized that I was 100% right. He is a total goon, one of most Christ like goons I have ever met and I am so stoked to be a crucial part of his and Anna’s wedding!
