Breanna is my younger sister, and also my best friend. I have known her for her entire life, yet somehow we find ways to grow closer and closer with each passing year. We have a way of bringing out the weirdest in each other. There are few people who get to experience the completely raw version of me, but she certainly encourages it the most. She is the most supportive, honest, and caring sister in the world. I need her support every step of the way, which means she has to be right next to me on wedding day!

Lily has been my friend since day one at Ashland University. We met at a campus worship night when she boldly came up and talked to me. She has stuck by my side through all three years at AU, including being my roommate for two of those years. Throughout our friendship she has always brought so much joy with her wherever we are in life. She is kindhearted, strong, patient, and is the best listener I know. She also is one of the best at making me giggle, so I know wedding day will be full of laughter with her by my side!

Grace and I met through Delight Ministries at AU. She was put in my small group during my second semester of leading, and then joined our leadership team herself the following school year. We grew close thanks to our weekly coffee dates and chats about life, and since then I have seen her love for the Lord shine in everything she does. She is the sweetest, most wholesome friend you could ask for. Her encouraging heart and gentle nature make her a joy to be around. The day would not be the same without her!

Kay and I became friends my freshman year of high school after we met in band. As I got to know her, she made me curious about the Lord, and eventually she helped lead me to Him herself. She even baptized me last year! She has always been ambitious, enthusiastic, and adventurous, always looking to make the most of life. We have been blessed to experience each other grow throughout our teen years into our twenties, and have been there for each other through so many life stages. I am so happy to have her by my side for this one!

Kaylie was my youth group leader throughout high school. She showed a special care for me that eventually blossomed into a friendship as I matured in my faith. We were even able to lead a high school Bible study and a youth retreat together. She has always been my voice of reason and my go-to for advice. She is creative, encouraging, and has a huge heart for those around her. She has supported me for so long now, and I am excited to have her supporting me on the big day too!

Ashley and I met my senior year of high school, her sophomore year. We met through band because she could french braid hair like a pro, and I very much could not. So every Friday night you would find her doing my hair for the football game. We became super close super fast, and since then have always picked up right where we left off in our friendship. She has the most contagious laugh and has such a joyful heart that lights up any room. I can't wait for her to be up there with me on wedding day!

Mitch has been my best friend since we were 13. We became friends through our shared love of football. Since then, he and I have been living life sharing one single brain cell between the two of us. When I’m around Mitch there usually isn’t a moment I’m not laughing hysterically or having a blast doing something that might seem small or simple. I cannot imagine where I would be without Mitch, and I am excited to have him stand by me on wedding day!

Being my younger brother there was not a whole lot I did in my childhood that did not include Justin. We grew up playing together outside, watching sports together, and even got to grow up in the same youth ministry together. We even created our own sport together as kids called football golf. Having lived most of my life with him by my side I am very thankful he will be standing by me on the big day!

I became friends with Ben through growing up in youth ministry. Ben is a guy that I got to grow up learning how to grow into a Christian man with. Still to this day, he and I are learning one day at a time how to be God-honoring men in every aspect of our lives. I had the privilege of attending his wedding in December 2024, and now I am blessed to have him standing with me at my wedding.

I met Bryce at Grove City College through football, and we lived in the same hall as each other. We soon found out that we grew up about ten minutes from each other in neighboring cities and somehow did not meet until we went to college in a different state. Bryce and I clicked instantly, and we got to stand by each other through fun times and even a lot of hard times as well. I am beyond thankful for my friendship with Bryce and to have him with me on the big day!

Nate and I grew up in youth ministry together. He and I often laugh at the fact that we ever became friends because when we became friends, we had nothing in common besides Jesus. He was always the smart kid that was building computers and robots, and I was the athlete playing football. But because of our shared love for the Lord, we have grown even closer as friends throughout our college years and spend a lot of time reading books and Scriptures that help us grow together as Christian men. I am honored to have Nate with me on wedding day!

Daniel was my roommate at Grove City College. From my observations, roommates usually do not become friends and often get irritated with each other rather quickly. This was not the case for Daniel and I, as we instantly became really close friends. Even when I was no longer at Grove City, Dan and I kept in contact frequently, and is still one of my closest friends today. I am so thankful to have Daniel in my life and I am excited to have him standing with me on the big day!

We met these two silly girls when they moved in next door to my family right around the time I started dating Johnny. They have been the source of so many funny memories and laughs. Energetic and adventurous, they will certainly bring the party on the dance floor. We are so excited to have Harper and Hayley be a part of our special day!
