Set in Stone
Wedding Party
Alex Hedrick
Maid of Honor
A beloved sister by day, a foxy grandpa by night! Maid of honor and sister are not enough endearments to describe Alex. She is one of the most genuine and selfless people. With a 5-year age gap, my oldest sister has never made me feel less than or not cool enough to hang around with. She’s always been there to make me laugh and feel wanted. She’s one of my favorite people in the world and an overall BEAUTIFUL person. I can call on her for anything: advice, party planning, and facing up to anyone who messes with her little sister. I know you’ll kick anyone’s butt for me. I love you so much Al, thank you for everything you have always done for me.
Jordyn Bokenkamp
Bridesmaid
I wouldn’t be able to post about Jordyn without using one of her nicknames. Jordyn you pigeon, being my sister is always something I will love you for, but being my friend I will cherish just as much. I’m so thankful that no matter what we’re doing, we always have the most fun together. You’re someone I trust to know the full me and to trust with my deepest secrets. I know I can go to you with anything and you will be by my side. I never question if you will be there for me or not. You bring so much of your BEAUTY and creativity into everyone’s lives and you never fail to make me laugh. I love you so much Jord!
Courtney Mattson
Bridesmaid
Court Magort! Courtney is one of the most selfless people you will ever meet and have the honor of being friends with. She follows Jesus with so much passion and is a light to so many people. Almost a decade of amazing friendship and the goofiest humor you can imagine. You are a friend I know will always be there with me on earth now and into Eternity. Thank you Court for being one of my best friends. Ian and I are so thankful to have you in our lives and wedding party. Love ya you crazy Turkey!
Rachael Stone
Bridesmaid
If you were to ask anyone about Rachael, I have no doubt everyone would describe her as warm hearted and incredibly supportive. In becoming a part of Ian's life, she has become someone I trust for advice and love to laugh with! Welcomed is not enough to describe how she has made me feel since joining the Stone family and that is something I will always cherish and be thankful for. She is incredibly attentive and intentional with our relationship. Having sisters is one of the greatest joys in my life and I am honored to have Rachael as another. Love you Rach!
Peyton Arata
Bridesmaid
Peyton is hands down one of the most accomplished, and coolest people I know! She has been such a blessing in my life from teaching me how to fly a plane, to being a friend I can always count on and brings tons of fun to everyone around her. I look up to her and the determination she has in everything so much and I’m thankful for all of the fun times during flight training that would turn into the amazing friendship we have today. She has so much to offer the world and I can’t wait to see where the Lord takes you Peyton. I am so grateful to have you in our lives. Love you!
Kaitlyn Kellner
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is someone who will always be there for you; No matter how much time passes it’s so easy to pick back up like it was yesterday. The laughter and blessing she has brought into my life is something I am very grateful for. She has a contagiously joyful spirit and can make anyone smile. I miss our days in high school; binging vine during student counsel and watching monsters university for the 50th time! Kaitlyn is such a faithful servant of the Lord and has so much joy to radiate to other people. Love you Kait!
Hanna Adams
Bridesmaid
When Hanna and I both stared working at Young Life, we hit it off immediately! Hanna is one of my dearest friends and someone I will always die laughing with and can sit and talk to for hours. No matter what we’re doing, even just sitting doing nothing, we always have the most amazing time together! She’s someone who cares deeply for others and is a major go getter. No mountain is too hard for Hanna to climb and I know she will be successful is everything she sets her mind too. Hanna loves Jesus and is a role model for everyone around her. Love you Han!
Rob Winship
Officiant
I have known Rob since I first started working at Young Life when I was just 19 years old. Words cannot describe how wonderful a person Rob is. He took me under his wing and has spoken not only into my life, but countless others as well. He is someone I look up to and admire because of his heart for and servanthood to Jesus. I have had the honor of having a friendship and mentorship relationship with Rob and that is something I will always be grateful to the Lord for. Rob and his wife Sherry are incredible people and are truly a light of Jesus to this world. Love you both!
Ashraf Moursi
Best Man
Ashraf has always been a close friend since our days at PA (Pulaski Academy), connecting with a similar sense of humor that has evolved over the years into our own language. Even after moving far apart, our humor and time together always seems to pick right back up from where it started. I know we will always have a great time together in anything we do and know I can always depend on him to provide advice or guidance in any endeavor. It is such a joy experiencing our goofy humor while watching Ashraf’s goals of an Aerospace engineering career flourish.
Jonathan Stone
Groomsman
I can’t describe in words how proud I am to call Jonathan my brother. His confidence, discipline and faith are traits that I strive to have in my life. I feel that I can always depend on him in any circumstance. Seeing his work pay off to become not only a physician but a wonderful husband and father is something I will always admire and look up to. Seeing his accomplishments and aspirations unfold is something that motivates me to become a better person and achieve all of my goals. I couldn’t have asked for a better brother to navigate life and grow up with.
Brok Stafford
Groomsman
Brok has been an amazing friend throughout my entire childhood. Ever since we were little, he has always felt comfortable being himself and has always stayed true to that even as an adult. His family has always been welcoming towards myself and our friend group, and they have always had the kindest hearts. Brok is someone I will always value in my life and admire his character. I have always looked up to Brok’s intelligence and drive as we finished through PA and college together. I love hearing about his career in Software Engineering and know with certainty he will accomplish tremendous things throughout his life.
Dev Nair
Groomsman
Dev is one of the most humble and intelligent people I have ever known. Throughout PA and college, Dev was always outclassing most students and found success in a prestigious college at University of Chicago. His impressive work ethic and drive is something I will continue to respect and admire, and I will never forget his advice and encouragement when I asked for career and life guidance as I transitioned into a new company and location. There isn’t a doubt in my mind that Dev will become a successful executive / founder one day especially after his MBA, and I hope to achieve his traits and success in my life. He has such a selfless heart, helping lead the non-profit charity our friend group created, and I will always value our friendship.
Ben Yip
Groomsman
Benji has always been a fun and loving cousin and part of our family. From playing golf with our family to holiday dinners and board games we have such an enjoyable and memorable time with him. We can’t imagine spending the holidays and family moments without him, and we will always see him as our own sibling. He is someone who I know will always be there to listen closely to any of my problems or important life updates. I am grateful to have him in my life, and I cannot wait to see the amazing physician Ben turns out to be.
Aaron Yip
Groomsman
Aaron will always be an amazing cousin who we will forever see as another sibling in our family. Ever since we were little, I have always admired how loyal Aaron is to his friends and family. He is someone I know I can call and without fail he would be there for you, whether you’re in a pinch or just need someone to talk to. I greatly admire his ability to make friends and develop strong connections with those around him, and I have complete faith that will carry him forward through his MBA. Carnegie Mellon is lucky to have him. Aaron possesses a strong character and personality that will help him develop into an impressive leader.
