Wedding Party
Emily Jensen
Maid of Honor
Meet Emily, my incredible Maid of Honor! Our journey began in a middle school P.E. class, where an instant bond formed. Emily was the first person I confessed my crush on Trent to during my junior year of high school. Together, we ran cross country and track, shared a couple of Bible classes, and eventually attended the same college. From Cedar Park to Biola University, our friendship has grown stronger. Despite time and distance, Emily's friendship remains a constant source of joy and support in my life. Fun facts: Emily is an elementary school teacher at Bellevue Christian and is an AMAZING ultimate frisbee player.
Justin Mortensen
Best Man
“J” is my one and only brother and I am deeply grateful for him. As the younger brother, I was naturally gifted at pushing his buttons, walking the line between pure bliss and a punch in the stomach. But as we both moved out to college, our relationship grew into an unshakable bond. I can always depend on J to be an ear to listen, a fountain of wisdom, and a source of joy. We both push each other to be faithful men of God and I could not ask for a better best man. Fun facts: J lives in Canada and he loves to play volleyball, disc golf, and board games.
Anna Plausse
Bridesmaid
Introducing Anna, one of my deeply cherished bridesmaids. Our friendship blossomed at Biola University when Anna's now-husband Bradley began dating her in the winter of 2022. Since then, our friendship has only grown over countless cups of coffee and shared experiences such as seasons of engagements and now weddings. From the excitement of these big life stages, Anna and I have been inseparable, supporting each other every step of the way. Fun facts: Anna's favorite bear is Paddington Bear, her go-to coffee order is a cold brew iced coffee, and she never bakes pastries from pre-mixed ingredients.
Bradley Plausse

Ah yes, “Dearest Bradley.” I first met Bradley when I started my job as a resident advisor (RA) of Stewart Hall my Junior year at Biola. He spent time with me whenever I was on RA duty, leading to an unexpected but deep friendship. Bradley is an incredibly loyal friend and he never lets go of a relationship he cares about. I can always count on Bradley to be a fountain of knowledge and wisdom in my life. I was honored to be a groomsmen at his wedding and I am honored to have him as a groomsman at my wedding. Fun facts: Bradley LOVES reading books and watching movies. Like, super old and obscure movies that no one knows about.
Analia Johnson
Bridesmaid
Meet Analia, the most sweet and outgoing person I have ever met. On and off the track, a sweet friendship blossomed between Analia and I while we attended Cedar Park Christan. We met during a long run for track practice in high school, sharing our life stories and forging a bond that grew throughout the years. Choosing Biola University together, we continued our journey, cherishing our shared love for the outdoors and active living. From sports injuries to the challenges of being in the Class of 2020, Analia stood by my side, creating cherished memories at Biola. I am so grateful for our enduring friendship, and I have experienced great comfort and encouragement from her. Fun facts: Analia continues to run today, whether signing up for 5ks, 10ks, or training others to do the same.
Zeke Braddock
Groomsman
Ezekiel Amadeus Braddock is my closest friend outside of kin. Biola randomly matched us as roommates our freshman year and we quickly hit it off for two reasons. First, Zeke is the funniest person I know. He is the master of absurdist humor, and his sarcasm reaches depths that I can barely keep up with. Second, Zeke is an excellent listener who thinks deeply about difficult topics. I will always cherish the nights we stayed up for hours discussing faith, personal trials, and how to live as good Christian men in this broken world. Zeke is the friend who I can always count on for two of my favorite things: laughter and thoughtful conversation. I am so thankful to have him as one of my groomsmen. Fun facts: Zeke can play the cello and is a leading member of Biola’s improv club.
Madison Hughes
Bridesmaid
Meet Madison, my built-in best friend from the moment I entered this world. On that momentous day, July 26, 2001, Madison and I became something more than siblings: sisters4lyfe. Years passed through nostalgic summer days. We shared childhood memories of being in princess dresses twirling around in the living room, cozy afternoons spent sprawled on bean bags, and running through sprinklers in the summer heat. I admired Madison's love for cross country and track, and it ignited a fire within me, fueling my passion to follow in my sister's footsteps. Our sisterly bond continues to flourish as we continue to stand by each other in every stage of life: childhood, college, and now marriage. Fun facts: Madison loves to crochet and even has her own Instagram! Follow and like @getcraftiwithmadi
Chip Tang
Groomsman
Chip and I have a special bond due to the fact that we share the same birthday and we were born only hours apart! I first met Chip in high school and we slowly became closer and closer friends over the years. When I was home in Washington during Covid and college breaks, Chip was a consistent source of comfort and fun. Chip is one of the most generous people I know, always putting others before himself. He is a persistent source of encouragement in my life and I am so excited to have him as a groomsman. Fun facts: Chip’s favorite color is also orange, he is an excellent photographer, and he has a pilots license!
Sarah Perham
Bridesmaid
Sarah P is someone with whom I've shared my funniest memories with. She helps me let loose and enjoy the experiences that life has to offer me. Our paths crossed at Biola University through a mutual friend in Hart Hall during our freshman year. Our friendship has blossomed over the past three years through late nights of laughter, beach trips, spring formal dances, and even getting lost at the Hollywood sign. I am grateful to have Sarah P's friendship, which brings a deep delight to my soul. Fun facts: Sarah has been dancing since a young age. She is a part of an all-style dance crew at Biola.
Micah Blomenkamp
Groomsman
Affectionately known as “the smartest guy in the room,” Micah was one of the very first friends I made at Biola. I lived with Micah in Stewart hall my freshman year and I enjoyed many nights sitting, talking, and laughing with him and his roommate Liam. Our relationship lasted through Covid-19 and grew even deeper when we became roommates with Zeke and Bradley in an off-campus apartment. Micah is the type of friend who is 100% dependable. Micah does what he says and always shows up on time. Although he is quieter than my other friends, his gentle presence is a persistent comfort. I am honored to have him as one of my groomsmen. Fun facts: Micah loves playing video games and is insanely good at Super Smash Bros.
