The Groomsmen:

Andrew Swift: Best Man

I became a big brother to Andrew 21 years ago, and from the start, our bond has been filled with great memories—family vacations, sports, and countless random adventures. Growing up together, we’ve always shared a competitive spirit, pushing each other to be better, in sports and in life. What I admire most about Andrew is his sarcasm, his relentless drive, and his genuine sincerity. He’s someone who works hard, stays determined, and always keeps things fun. I’m incredibly grateful to have him as my brother and for all the experiences we’ve shared along the way.

Daniel Swift: Best Man

Eighteen years ago, I became a big brother for the second time, and I was excited to have another sibling to share life with. From the beginning, joined Andrew and me in our interests, playing sports, and creating countless memories together. Daniel has always brought a lighthearted and compassionate energy to our family. He’s silly, down-to-earth, and incredibly kind, always showing love and thoughtfulness to those around him. Whether on family vacations, at sporting events, or just in everyday moments, I’ve cherished being his big brother. I’m truly thankful to have him as my brother.

Dylan VanSkyock:

I first met Dylan during my freshman year of high school on the basketball team. After getting to know him for a year, I started hanging out with him and his group of friends. From the very beginning, Dylan has always been intentional, funny, and a man of strong faith. I have so much respect and love for him, even though he once made me sleep in a chair at a basketball tournament! Dylan continues to be incredibly intentional, making every moment with him fun, unpredictable, and memorable. Thank you, Dylan, for always having my back, for your meaningful conversations, and for making me laugh. I am grateful and proud to call you one of my best friends.

Colby Chick:

I met Colby in my sophomore year of high school, and one of my first memories with him was playing basketball at APEX on Halloween night—just the two of us. From that moment, we’ve always connected over sports, funny songs, dances, and all sorts of random things. As our friendship has grown, I've come to value the deep and intentional conversations we've had. The memories we’ve made together, from laughter-filled moments to “Would You Rather” games, and even meaningful discussions, are truly special. What I cherish most now is our community, where we build each other up, pray for one another, and show love. Thank you, Colby, for the priceless memories, your encouragement, the Gospel conversations, and your genuine friendship. I am thankful to call you one of my best friends!

David Scott:

I first met David in middle school band. While we weren’t super close at the time, we shared some great memories, like going to Chicago and experiencing similar moments in the band. It wasn’t until college that we reconnected. Our bond grew as we reminisced about those middle school days and shared stories about how we’d both changed since then. Over the years, David and I have made countless fun memories together, earning iconic nicknames in our friend group along the way. Though much of our time together is filled with humor and sarcasm, David is also someone who deeply loves the Lord, is genuine, and is an incredible friend. I treasure the Gospel-centered conversations we've had, the brotherly love, and the constant encouragement and advice we've shared within our circle. David is not only funny and kind but he is also very selfless. Thank you, David, for being one of my best friends, a true brother, and for all the unforgettable college memories we’ve created together.

Chase Matthews:

I met Chase during my junior year of high school, and from the very first moment, we instantly clicked. We would go back and forth, one-upping each other with jokes, sharing the same sense of humor and sarcasm. We had a lot in common and got along really well from the start. Over the years, I've made so many great memories with Chase—from working at the same pool and hanging out, to going on a ski trip together, being in the same impact camp, and countless random moments. I'm incredibly thankful to have someone who can laugh and joke with me nonstop, while also encouraging each other and offering each other advice.We've been there for each other through both the highs and lows, whether it was big trips or just running small errands together. Chase constantly encourages me to pursue Christ, and his love for the Lord is truly inspiring. Thank you, Chase, for being one of my best friends, someone who’s always there through any circumstance, and for keeping the laughter alive with your ridiculous jokes and sarcasm.

Kaden Westbook:

I met Kaden during my freshman year of college through his now wife. Over the years, I’ve gotten to know him well and we have shared so many great memories together. Kaden and I have a similar sense of humor, and he’s one of the funniest, most selfless, and thoughtful people I know. What stands out to me the most is how incredible of a listener he is, how loving and supportive he always is, and how wise he is. One of the things I’ve really cherished is being accountability partners with Kaden. Even when he was away on internship, we were able to stay vulnerable and close, which meant so much to me. I’m thankful for all the great memories we’ve made—whether it was deep conversations, trips to Broken Bow & South Padre, football games, and so much more. Thank you, Kaden, for being one of my best friends, a God-fearing man, a loving and encouraging listener, and for always making me laugh.
