Wedding Party
Paige Eber
Bridesmaid
Paige is the sister of the bride. She is studying social work at Belmont University in Nashville, and loves to sing at church, work with kids, and play with her puppies - especially Benji. Paige is working for her second summer at Covenant Harbor as an overnight counselor. She also works at Starbucks, and will be an RA next year, assuming she doesn't transfer out of Belmont. Her favorite memory of Brooke is serving on retreat team with her in high school. She is very excited to get to share in the wedding day, and cannot wait to see such a strong couple start their lives together. Also, cake.
Zach Zylstra
Best Man
I grew up in West Michigan and have a wonderful and supportive family. I graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a degree in Psychology/Pre-medical sciences, hoping to go into Dentistry with special needs kids and families living under the poverty line. I am currently employed with Developmental Enhancement, a behavioral therapy clinic where I provide therapy to kids with varying developmental disabilities. It is already preparing me to serve in a demographic that doesn’t always have access to the best care and I can’t wait to see where God leads me. Some other things that I enjoy besides exercise include fishing, music, hiking, eating, and watching the Detroit Redwings.
Grace Eber
Bridesmaid
Grace is the bride's youngest sister. She lives in Aurora, Illinois and is a sophomore at Metea Valley High School. She dances competitively at Steps Dance Center and at school. This summer she is excited to go on her second missions trip to Nicaragua! She was the first one in the family to meet Koby, before Brooke and Koby were even dating! Grace would really appreciate it if you added her on Instagram @grace.eber or Snapchat @lilebes2. She is most looking forward to dancing and taking cute pictures! If you need some good jokes at the wedding, hit her up. She also loved to hold hands and cuddle, so her and Brooke cuddle a lot. Grace is also a fabulous singer.
Mason Buth
Groomsman
Mason is a sophomore at Indiana Wesleyan University majoring in youth ministry. Mason enjoys spending his time playing guitar, hiking, going to the beach, and listening to music. He also enjoys playing soccer when he gets the chance, and occasionally finds himself wasting a big part of his life shuffling cards for fun. Mason has known Koby ever since he has been alive because they are brothers. Believe it or not, one of Mason’s favorite past times with Koby was watching him puncture his own hand with a plastic fork. Mason has only known Brooke for the amount of time she and Kobis have been dating/engaged. In fact, he didn’t have a clue who she was up until then, but he is excited for her to officially become a part of the fam.
Delaney Eber
Bridesmaid
Delaney is the cousin of the bride! She attends the University of Alabama (Roll tide!) and is studying accounting. She loves to dance, travel, and take pictures. She’s looking most forward to dancing the night away and eating wedding cake.
Gerrit Buth
Groomsman
Gerrit just graduated from Coopersville High School and will be attending Cornerstone University in the fall. He enjoys basketball and playing the drums. He was recently voted Homecoming King, beating his brothers who were only voted to Homecoming Court. Gerrit is excited for Koby and Brooke and is very much looking forward to the Lord thriving in their relationship.
Mackenzie Eber
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie is Brooke’s favorite cousin! She's a junior in high school and interested in dance and business. She was recently crowned Corn Queen of her small town of Morris, IL and loves to dance and watch movies. Mackenzie got second place two years in a row at State for her Poms team, so you know her dance moves are gonna be lit. She is in her school Musical this Spring, The Adams Family. Her favorite food is wings and her favorite movie is High School Musical. On vacation, she likes to tan, tube, and participate in other water sports. Her and Grace are two peas in a pod, and love to put on song and dance productions together for the delight of their families. Of course, tearing up the dance floor is what she is looking forward to the most!
Tanner Brumbarger
Groomsman
Tanner met Koby during a Freshman orientation week and their relationship full of miscommunication, ski trips, late night conversations, and other adventures flourished from the start. He met Brooke at the same outing and thought: “Wow, that girl is wicked smart and definitely knows more than me about most things. Tread lightly.” Tanner’s favorite memory of Koby was when he offered to buy Koby dinner on his birthday on the coldest night of the year. Tanner took him to Steak and Shake and promptly left him there without his phone and wallet. But Tanner went back and picked up Brooke and brought her to dinner too. Now they’re getting married. So, you’re welcome. Tanner is quite bummed that he had to eventually share Koby with Brooke. But so far it’s working out great for everyone.
Andrew Eber
Groomsman
Andrew is Brooke's younger brother. He is graduating from Metea Valley High School in May 2018 and majoring in engineering in the fall. Andrew swims and plays water polo. He also enjoys being a part of the youth retreat team at church and leading confirmation candidates in fun weekends at church! He can't wait for the big day!
Caleb Carr
Groomsman
Caleb and Koby met at an honors college visit day when they were both still in high school. Though they did not know it, they would soon be very good friends. As college began, their relationship grew and went deeper. It would not be long until Koby knew Caleb would be the one. He asked him to be one of his groomsmen!
