Hope & Logan
Wedding Party
Hannah Auer
Matron of Honor
My first and (currently) only sister!! Hannah has added much joy to our family's life, and has been the girl I've needed for girly conversations and dates, my show-watching buddy, and the one who has walked me through so much "guy drama." When I told her that Logan asked me out, her first reaction was "Oh my gosh, go!!" and she has been cheering for me every since. Hannah, I love you to death, and I'm so thankful for the ways you love me, spoil me, guide me, and have helped to make this time and this day so very special already.
Cameron Peterson
Best Man
Cam and I have done everything together. We have been there for each other through it all and from the beginning. My earliest memory of Cam is when I was feeding him a bottle when he was just a little baby. We've been almost inseparable for our whole lives, doing the same activities and in the same friend groups, and now getting engaged and married at almost the same times. He has been the best brother a guy could ask for. Love ya, Cam. Thanks for being my Best Man.
Lindy Leonard
Bridesmaid
aLindy has been one of the most faithful, wonderful, and godly friends a person could ever hope to have in their life. She is so wise and loving. Through our phone dates, Skype dates while she was overseas, letters, emails, texts, etc., she has helped to guide and counsel me and always pointed me back to Christ. As a friend who has "gone before me" in many different phases of life, she has graciously shared her experiences with me, and has always been there to support me, work with me, and make life fun. Little did we know when we were thrown together as TTAs back in "Cinderella" what God would do with our friendship. I love you and thank God for you constantly, Lindy!
Will Passner
Groomsman
Will is probably my oldest STP friend. One of my favorite memories with Will was attending "Fuge," his church camp. It was great hanging out with Will and meeting his friends. Will is a great photographer and took our engagement photos. Will and I are very similar and we enjoy the same types of humor and understand each other quite well. Will has always been there for me and pushes me to be a better person in a ton of ways.
Tori MacDonald
Bridesmaid
Tori, "My Mousey." You are so incredible. You are never afraid to talk with me about anything, or to call me out on anything that needs to be addressed in my life. You have walked with me through thick and thin, including many very difficult times in my life. We've laughed and cried together and lived so much life together. I am beyond blessed and honored to have you as one of my closest friends, and to have you in my wedding. Also, your artistic knowledge of everything from decorations to bridesmaids' dresses has been invaluable. I would not be where I am today without your love and prayers and support. Thank you so much for everything. I love you!
Joshua Lyman
Groomsman
Josh is a very fun person to be around. No one speaks their mind quite as freely as Josh does, and it is a delight. I admire his persistence when faced with difficulties and how he handles life. Josh and I love just going with the flow and have an easy and fun relationship, easily understanding each other's frustrations and joys. One of my favorite recent memories with Josh was a trip with him and some other good friends to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and New York City this past Summer. We had a blast.
Madison Forman
Bridesmaid
Little did I know how right my dad would be when he first met Madi and said, "Hope, you and Madi are going to be really good friends." From the countless shows and carpools together, to numerous phone calls and outings and long texting conversations, we've been sisters, friends, and confidants. Madi is definitely one of the main reasons why Logan and I ended up together. While I was texting Madi trying to figure out if I liked Logan, he was texting Madi telling her how much he liked me and trying to figure out when he should ask me out. She graciously handled us both, and gave Logan the "go ahead" at just the right moment when I was finally ready. Madi, you rock and are amazing, and I know I wouldn't be here today without you. I love you!
Noah Hite
Groomsman
Noah is my cousin, and we've been buddies ever since we were babies and have gotten into all kinds of mischief together. We have an affinity for climbing on all sorts of roofs. It started with Noah convincing me that our grandma said that we could climb on the top of their shed roof when we were young. Needless to say, that did not end well. We explored every roof we could get to in Downtown Raleigh as teenagers. Once, we were at my grandparents' house, and their neighbors had just gotten three Pit Bulls. We made up a game to climb the fence and see how far we could get before they chased us. One of my favorite memories with Noah involves several camping trips at Shackleford Banks. I love Noah's loyalty and love for family, and also his adventurous and curious spirit.
Madeline O'Melia
Bridesmaid
My "mini me" and soon to be new sister-in-law!! I've known Maddie since before she was born, and it's been amazing to watch her grow up and become this amazing, beautiful, and godly young lady. I am so excited to get another sister!! And it's been a blast to grow our relationship even deeper as we're both working on our own wedding fun and excitement. Thank you for being my "wedding buddy," Maddie! I can't wait to be sisters and neighbors so very soon!
Judah Sargent
Groomsman
I remember watching Judah perform in "Sleeping Beauty" and thought he was awesome. Through our mutual STP friends, we met and have quickly become friends. Judah has a stellar voice. One of my favorite things about my relationship with Judah is that our respective humors and personalities tend to make us both progressively more goofy to the point where no one else can understand our jokes, and it's great. We're really close and share a unique relationship that I've never really shared with anyone else.
Ellie Faggion
Bridesmaid
My "Twinie" for life. My accountability partner, support buddy, theater and music teaching buddy, and often the very same person as myself! Little did I know that when we couldn't stand each other during "Oliver Twist" that we would become "Twinies" the very next year in "Cinderella" as our cute little mice selves. You constantly challenge me and encourage me to press on towards big and awesome goals. I love you, Ellie, and I'm so excited that you can come back from following your dreams in PA to be with us on my dream day.
Davis Rodeniser
Groomsman
I met Davis at STP, as well. We've had many adventures at Cook Out, Sheetz, and Buffalo Wild Wings. We've also hung out at golf courses quite a bit. When we were young, our family took Davis and his younger brother, Quinton, to the beach with us, and we had some great times. I really admire Davis's passion for his friends and his willingness to do anything for his friends at any given moment and be there for them when they need it. Davis and I have been there for each other for a long time, and Davis has been incredibly supportive of me throughout the years. He's a very wise and helpful person and someone I can always rely on in a time of need.
Becky Passner
Bridesmaid
Becky's and my deeper friendship (though we've known each other forever) has really only sprung up in the last two-three years as we've been thrown together at STP and were faithful members of the "MoviePass" group. When we discovered that we liked all of the same movies, we became "movie watching buddies" and have had a blast together exploring literature, acting, character development, and plot. You are one of my favorite people to work with ever at STP, and have been such a kind and fun-loving friend. I can always count on you to be fun and chill and plan all of the best parties and get-togethers. Thanks for randomly letting me dump on you or do things with you, and for bringing the sass and the sarcasm to our little group. I love you!
Caleb Auer
Groomsman
I met Caleb in "Daniel" of 2014, the same time I really became friends with Hope. Caleb had a cast and was supposed to do push-ups in the show, which is hard when wearing a cast on your wrist, so he just did them one-handed. Easy. Caleb is relatively quiet, but I really enjoy his witty humor that is always timed perfectly and enjoy being around him. We've shared some pretty great memories together. Because of his relation to Hope and his long-lasting friendship, I'm excited to have him in my wedding party and as my Brother-in-Law.
Anna Peterson
Junior Bridesmaid
Anna is Logan's little sister and is sweet and fun. Her giggle is infectious, and she has a beautiful face and beautiful smile to match. It's been fun to join up with her against the boys at home and give them a run for their money! I've really enjoyed getting to know her over the last two years as I've worked with her at STP, and now as my soon-to-be Sister-in-Law!! Thank you for celebrating with us, Anna! Love you!
Joshua Auer
Junior Groomsman
Josh is pretty crazy, and is a talented little ninja. He's a great big ball of energy and adds a lot of humor to the family gatherings. He's always got a joke for everything, and he's a lot of fun to have around. It's going to be fun having him as a Brother-in-Law.
Rachel Ullman
Featured Singer
Rachel has the most beautiful voice, and we've both worked on multiple shows with her and have enjoyed her sweet friendship for years and years. Rachel is a gift as a friend and a human, and we hope that you enjoy her beautiful voice at the wedding! We are so honored that she agreed to sing for us!
Zach Meeker
Featured Singer
Zach is a dear friend to both of us, and his musical talent (especially when singing with the lovely Rachel), is incredible. We are thrilled to have him bless us with his awesome voice today, and for his friendship today and always.
