Wedding Party

Meet our family and friends who are walking down the aisle with us!

Steve and Lisa Renfrow

Father and Mother of the Bride

Mom and Dad! Their sacrifice for me and my siblings is something I’ll forever be grateful for. They are both super hard-working and love us all so well. Dad is hilarious, fun, and gets nicknames trending, like Cha-Cha. They named me Rachel and birth, but Cha-Cha is what I went by when I started playing soccer at 3. I’ve since started responding to Rachel lol He’s my go to if any car light comes on or if I have a furniture question. Mom, on the other hand, is quiet, kind, and loving. She’s my go to if I have a question about cooking, nursing, or just need advice. They’ve raised us to be kind, hard-working, Jesus-lovers, and friendly. I luv’em!

Han's my older sister who is one of my best friends... (we weren't always friends growing up lol)... but we've grown so much, and I LUV'ER. I facetime at least once a day to say hi to her and Lizie Wizie (crazy cutie head in the pic). Her husband Kyle loves her so well, and he's a bomb bro-in-law. Love her little fam bam. Honored and blessed to have her as a big sis. She has wisdom galore, and if ya need a resume/cover-letter update, reach out because that's her job lol. Okay, that's all! (ps: not single, I repeat, NOT single)

Lydia Renfrow Knapp

Lyd's my little sis, who just got married in May of 2021. She's uber mature for her age, and is also one of my bffs!!! She moved just 20 minutes away from me after getting married to her sweet, kind, loves-Lyd-so-well husband (who's another bomb bro-in-law), and we've been doing weekly Bible studies that give me so much LIFE. Ugh. Like so much life. Anyways, she can hit any dance move so hard that you'll be shook and not know what just happened HAHA. I love my squidward lydward di boperoni. (ps: also NOT single)

Kendall Elizabeth Allen

Bridesmaid

Ohhhh Kendall. Idk if there’s someone else as funny as this gal. She’s the beautiful little sister of the groom. Now, Austin has 2 weirdos to deal with lol I told him he is kind of marrying someone with his sister’s personality, and he went, “yeah, I know.” Haha he loves his dull. My fav activity to do with Kendall is random chest bumps around people. My least fav activity to do with Kendall is burpees, but I’ll do them because they’re good for me (eye-roll). God has big plans for this gal. Currently, she is a senior at NC State studying nutrition, supporting the football nutrition team, and whoopin people’s booties in CrossFit workouts. She’s a kind, sweet, hilarious, Jesus-loving soul who’s going to become my 3rd sister. I couldn’t have asked for a better one!!! (ps: and she’s single)

Brittany Campbell Hoyt

Bridesmaid

Brit! This girl is someone I look up to a ton. She started off as my mentor my senior year of college, where I learned more about God and grew to love Jesus more and more. Now, she's one of my closest best friends. She fosters such a great community, and realizes that it looks different in different seasons. We always get sooooo deep about the Lord, and what He's doing in our lives. She's a wife to an awesome, Jesus-loving husband, and a mommy to a three year old energetic, golf-loving, next Tiger Woods star. lol Seriously, the kid has unreal talent. I cherish this pal of mine, and I love her love for the Lord. She lives in Greenville coaching group fitness classes (hayyyy), teaching psychology online at Liberty U, and taking care of sweet Grayson. Love her. (ps: nooooot single)

Alex Wilber Stupienski

Bridesmaid

Alex has been in my life since I was 5 years old. I practically lived at her house in the summers to the point where my mom would call her mom and ask if I was still there haha. We would catch minnows in the ditch behind her house, bike around the neighborhood, and go to the pool like cool kiddos lol. I went on her fam vacays to Hilton Head for like 8 or more years straight and every. year. we thought someone broke in the house while we were there, and would be so dramatic about it (but no one was ever there lol). It made for good stories later! Whatevs. Alex is a steady, constant best friend, who married one of our classmates from high school #Christian. He loves her oh so well, and they live up north with the polar bears and such. Love this girl! (ps: again NOT SINGLE)

Courtney Brooke Taybron

Bridesmaid

Court is my sister from another mister. We played on travel soccer teams together in late elementary school, and then she ended up coming to my school in 6th grade... that's where the Court and Cha duo fully gained it's wings and started flyin BOI. One of our mom's (shout out to the Lisa's) would cart us around town for school and travel practice. Then, by God's big master plan, we ended up playing soccer together at ECU in good ole Greenville, NC. Not even kidding. God is so up in that, we both get shook thinking about it. Now, Court is a boss strength and conditioning coach at Longwood in Farmville, VA. She loves Jesus, helps me love Jesus, and helps others love Jesus. Go 'head. Love this girl. (ps: she's single)

Taylor Marie Gaunt

Bridesmaid

Tay!! This girl is humble, kind, and resilient. Tay came into my life through ECU soccer. She fought compartment syndrome her whole career, but she was oh so talented when the legs were feeling RIGHT. I loved watching her play. She has a quiet, strong spirit. You have to get to know her to see her funny, free-spirit side (which is a good way of guarding your heart), but it's in there... don't be fooled, my friends. She loves her fam bam, and is an adventure-seeking gal. She came to know Jesus through a super faith-filling story in college, and she now lives in Dallas, TX working for the Texas division of emergency management... say whaaaat?! A boss. I luv'er. (ps: she's single too)

Karlie Alexis Smith

Bridesmaid

Karl! My girl!! She’s sweet, generous, motivated, and joyful. She loves Jesus, and loves to share Him everywhere she goes. Karl is one of those people who can make me snort laugh, because she does something so off the wall lol She likes to travel, work with sports, and pour into those around her. Her dream is to be a professional broadcaster, and I’m not God, but it looks like it’s right up her ally. If it’s not that, it’ll be something even wilder that God does. Anyways, we became besties after college. She played softball, and I didn’t really hang out with any softball peeps during college lol so it’s such a God-given friendship. So much love for this gal. (ps: another single lady)

Drew Sarai Williams

Bridesmaid

Drew is my LA bestie. We grew up in completely different worlds, but I cherish this friendship. We both have opened each other's minds to so many different things, and I know we are both better for it. I still haven't made it out to LA, but it's a comin. I also met Drewski from ECU soccer. She was a bomb keeper. She is hilarious, kind, loving, and smart. The girl has the most random fun facts out of anyone that I know. lol I remember one time she visited my home in Wilson, and my sister, Drew, and I tanned in our driveway in beach chairs... she doesn't have to be in LA to have fun, and that's a gift haha She finds it where she's at. She is now back on home turf modeling full time, which I think is the coolest. Love this gal. (ps: also single)

Danielle Janet Eule

Bridesmaid

Dani-girl. I love this gal. She shares a lot of the same weirdness that I have. haha We could get on a hilarious rant about something so bizarre, but not stop... just because we found joy in it... in a weird way. lol We could also get super deep about life and the world... had to def pay attention around us, because it could go 180 real quick. ANYWAYS, I also met Dan from ECU soccer. She had a bomb talent with the soccer ball. She's super hard-working, fun-spirited, and thoughtful. My favorite memories with her were car rides listening to country music and talking about how much we loved Thomas Rhett and his fam lol She is now in Dallas, TX finishing up Physical Therapy school. Googles, you're almost there!! Keep going. Love this gal! (ps: yep, also single)

Mariah Rose Fredericks

Bridesmaid

Mariah!! My Spain soul sister bestie. She’s one of those people God dropped right into my life on a soccer mission trip to Spain. She’s someone who is so relatable, kind, humble, and strong. She loves travel, ministering to those around her, and coaching soccer. She speaks life and radiates joy. We love to get deep about life and God and the world. We have a special place in our hearts for Barcelona, and we cant wait to see all that God does in that city. Anyways, until then, find her out in Oregon being my Pacific Northwest (totally had to Google this part… initially put Midwest.. whoopsies) bestie gal. (ps: another single one)
