Isaiah is now a husband, father, and a leader of his own family. And Bryce is turning a page to a new chapter in life, these two never fail to support one another and make each other laugh. Distance is so little when their friendship means so much.
Travis Gunn
Groomsman
Travis and Bryce have known each other the longest of time. They originally met in their middle school's science class. Their friendship went from casually passing each other in the hall to hanging out outside of school. Despite losing touch with many of their friends in their high school friend group, Travis and Bryce remained best friends in each other's lives.
Evan Cho
Groomsman
Evan and Bryce met while they were making lattes and frappes at Starbucks. Neither of them would typically make friends with the people they work with, however there was something special about their conversations and their connection. They have both since moved on from their job as a barista, but they never forgot their favorite co-worker. Good baristas, but even better friends.
Shawn Ellithorpe
Groomsman
Who said your mentor can't be your best friend? Shawn started out as one of Bryce's small group leaders for youth group. Their relationship started as mentor/mentee, but developed into a wonderful friendship. After graduating high school, Bryce continued to meet with Shawn, and the two of them grew closer in their friendship. Even after Shawn transitioned from his leadership role, he has always been a very important mentor figure in Bryce's life. Friendships often come from the most unexpected places.
