Stephens friendship kind of came out of nowhere in 2021 when we both started working at the wilds. He's one of those friends that you almost instantly connectwith but then over time the friendship deepens and grows in ways you dont expect. Whether we were watching tv shows together after work, having deep theological discussions, butting heads over stupid stuff, going to concerts together, or just spending entire 2 hour road trips without speaking a word, stephen quickly over the course of 2 years became a brother to me. Never did I expect to find a friend and brother as close as stephen. Our iron sharpening Iron is something I value greatly.
Adalyn Lockhart - Maid of Honour
Adalyn is the maid of honor and sister to the bride. She has been a giver and peacemaker since she was born. Addy brings joy and laughter into every relationship that she invests in and never fails to honor Christ. She has been our biggest fan and biggest tease since Justin and I started dating. When he entered the house, she was on the warpath to make sure Justin would be a good man. I am truly grateful to call her my sister and to have her be close to me on our special day. Thank you addy for your love and support. Most of all, your prayers that I wouldn’t die an old maid 😉 I love you! - Audrey
Mike Myers - Groomsman
Ever since I met Mike at the age of 8 years old he has been an older brother figure for me. That relationship status only grew deeper when he married my second oldest sister Michelle and had 6 nieces and nephews for me to play with and torture like the younger siblings I never had. He's always been there steadily plodding along consistently just simply being available for the past 17 years of my life. His relationship is something I value greatly as I know not all brothers in law get along as well as we do. He and I have quite a few fond memories over the years, which are greatly cherished.
Maddie Herrell - 2nd maid of honor
Maddie is a sister from another mother. We met in 2022 when she became my first roommate for summer camp! She had been a the biggest influence in my walk with Christ and an optimistic presence everywhere she goes. She teaches in a Christian school in Tennessee and is a coffee “fanatic.” Maddie loves all things bright and cheery. Basically anything that resembles her personality. She has a fantastic sense of humor and has me teary-eyed with laughter constantly. Thank you for being my closest friend and biggest prayer warrior. Words don’t come close to describing the ways your life has impacted mine. I love you dearly!
Kevin Risma - Groomsman
Kevin and I have known each other since my freshman year of college. We even played on the basketball team together although Kevin admittedly didn't get much playing time, not for lack of skill, but rather for height. We were friends. That friendship parted ways for a few years until it was re-kindled and deepened in an unexpected way when we both started working at the wilds together. His happy-go-lucky and encouraging personality has been a god-given bright spot in my life over the past two years and the dynamic comedy of our height difference has provided endless comedic moments.
Kennedy Glenn - Bridesmaid
As a cousin, Kennedy has brought the laughter and fun to our friendship my whole life. She never shied away from a dare and was never embarrassed with the outcome! She’s artistic and creative as well as a peacemaker and I’m incredibly thankful for the years of friendship and encouragement she has brought into my life. I’m so grateful that you get to be apart of a special day that we always talked about as kids! Picture with her is her new husband, Joey! I love you lots! - Audrey ❤️
Wesley Blake - Groomsman
Wesley is the brother who is nearest to me in age and as such of all the brothers is the one I have spent the most time with over the years. Some of my best childhood memories include wesley. From playing video games together for hours, to watching tv shows together, to playing basketball on the same team in high school, or him forcing me to do the chores he didn't want to for which I still haven’t forgiven him. One thing has been clear about Wesley, we have always loved each other as brothers should. I am very grateful for his kind heart towards others and his optimistic outlook on life and how they have affected me personally.
Kylie Fregm - Bridesmaid
Kylie is the oldest of all the cousins and the most solid in personality. She walks closely with the Lord and loves coffee! Kylie has been a friend, mentor, and encourager. It’s very unique to have your cousins be close friends, but I’m so grateful that we are today and that we get to be a part of these special moments in our lives. Pictured with her is her husband Jeb and their precious baby Riley. I love you so much! - Audrey ❤️
Kristiann Kashuba - Matron of honor
What can I say about this lady….laughter, tears, and sarcasm. Kristiann is an adopted sister. I’ve only known her for about 5 years, but it’s felt like a lifetime. I couldn’t think of anyone better to have by my side than the person who has poured into me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She has been a sharpening friend who has been a faithful giver and encourager in my life. I’m so grateful that you get to be a part of this special day!! Pictured with her is her husband, Ben, who is also like family. I love you so much Kristi! - Audrey ❤️
Caleb Lockhart - Junior groomsmen
Caleb is Audrey's younger brother. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know him! Having around is like having a younger brother that I always wanted. He and I also understand each other on a fundamental level because we are both the youngest of the family. We both love Caleb very much and are thrilled he is going to share in our special day.
Audrey Mcneely - Junior bridesmaid
Little Audrey isn’t so little anymore. I met Audrey the first week she was born and I was just a 13 year old at the time. Audrey has been my mini me and when she was little, we didn’t get along so well 😂 but now that we’re on better terms, I’m incredibly thankful that she is still a part of my life and that she gets to be here on this special day. Audrey is the daughter of Cody and Alyssa , my former youth pastors. Audrey is musical and artsy and the Lord has special plans for her! I love you lots! - big Audrey ❤️
Henry Myers - Ringbearer
Henry it's a mischievous little guy, who takes after his uncle alot. Quiet and shy, but with a big heart. He's a very imaginative boy who loves to play outside. His laugh is contagious if you somehow manage to get it out of him. We both love him very much.
Ben Kashuba - Groomsman
Ben has been a long time friend of Audrey's. He is somewhat of an adopted brother to her. From the moment I first met him he has been a good friend to me as well, choosing to view me as a brother. Ben is a solid dude who stands up for what's right, who isn't afraid to tell you if you are being an idiot. Audrey and I are both honored to have he and his wife Kristian stand by our sides on our big day.
Jenna Alexander - Flower Girl
The first curly haired girl in the picture is Jenna, standing alongside her sweet sisters, Everly and Adriana. Jenna is the daughter of my former youth pastor Jordan and his wife Kim. Jenna has a fiery personality and heart full of laughter. Right now, her favorite color is purple! I’m so glad that Jenna gets to be a part of this special and day and I’m looking forward to the special person the Lord has in store for her future! I love you Jenna - Audrey ❤️
Camryn Knowles - Bridesmaid
Camryn and I became roommates for 10 months while working at the Wilds. We quickly connected and made a strong bond over our love for deep conversations, farm life, and southern humor! She loves home-cooked food, healthy sarcasm, cute and sunshiney clothes, coffee, and pretty flowers. Camryn, you’ve been a wonderful friend and such an encouragement in my life! I’m so thankful to have you be a part of the special day and for how our friendship will grow over a lifetime! Love you girl ❤️- Audrey
