I'm the big sister of the bride, and the reason Clara started working at Chick-fil-a, so I take full credit for Clara and Aaron meeting! Clara's been my built-in best friend for life, and I've been so blessed to live life with her all these years! We've grown up building Pinterest boards of our dream wedding, and I'm so excited to be a part of bringing hers to life!

Hi! My name is Morgan and I am so excited for Clara and Aaron to get married! I am currently a student at the University of Arkansas, but I am originally from Austin, Texas. Clara and I lived in the same dorm and we met the first week of school our freshman year at a bible study. We were both a little nervous and anti social so we decided not to separate the whole night. Since then, our friendship has grown so much and Clara has become one of the closest people in my life and one of my best friends. She both challenged me with brutal honesty and is always down for a silly little time. I can’t wait to see Aaron and her begin their life together and I’m so honored I get to be a part of it!

Hi! My name is Lacy Casteel and I'm a junior at the University of Arkansas! I've lived in Fayetteville my whole life and love it here! I'm studying graphic design, and I love the outdoors and anything creative! Clara and I met through a Bible study with Cru freshman year. We were in the same dorm, and got to go to late dinners at the union together and watch New Girl on snow days!! One of my favorite memories with Clara was chalking and chatting on campus for Cru's taco fest! During sophomore year, Clara and I got to lead a bible study together in the same dorm we met in! I loved getting to see her shine in a ministry setting. It's been an honor to know Clara and I am super excited to be a part of her and Aaron's story!

Hey y’all! I’m Jenna and I am honored to be a part of the Devine’s wedding! I am originally from Benton, the bride and groom’s hometown, but currently I am a student at Ouachita Baptist University. Clara and I have been best friends since 2015 when we met in a Payless shoe store. Little did I know the girl I met that day would become one of my closest and most cherished friendships. We grew up together and eventually both started working at Chick-Fil-A. That’s when we met Aaron! I will never forget when Clara asked if she should go talk to Aaron and I proceeded to tell her “Why not…you have nothing to lose.” Look where we are now! I absolutely love this couple and they will forever hold a special place in my heart. I can’t wait to see how the Lord grows them in their marriage and for his kingdom!

My name is Makenna Bailey and I am from Benton, AR. I’m currently attending Mississippi State, majoring in animal science with the intent on going to vet school! Clara and I met at the beginning of 6th grade thanks to Jenna’s momma and a Payless shoe store! She instantly became one of my closest friends, and from there on I couldn’t imagine my life without her craziness and genuine love. Core 4 wouldn’t be the same without her💜

Hello! My name is Erin and I'm so blessed to have been invited to stand by Clara's side on her big day. I am from Benton, like my Clarbear, but I go to school in Melbourne, Florida, studying marine biology and biomedical science. Clara and I met on our first day of middle school, and we were fast friends. We've seen each other through all the ups and downs of middle school, through high school, and now into college. I am so excited for Clara and Aaron taking this next step, and I can't wait to watch them flourish as a married couple. Love you, Clara!

I’m Eathan Devine, one of Aaron’s older brothers. From the time he was born, we have shared a kinship that surpassed simply being brothers. We grew up together in southern Arizona before moving to Arkansas in our preteens. As an older brother, I was able to teach him many things growing up but, to be honest, he may have taught me more. I’ll save the best bits for the speech, but I have enjoyed being his brother so much throughout our life. We kept each other endlessly entertained by inventing games or by sharing knowing looks at inside jokes that were far beyond others’ ability to comprehend. We would spend hours on the phone talking about topics ranging from our everyday lives to politics to the gospel to board games. He would also talk about Clara, and I could tell that she was special to him from the time he first began talking about the girl from Chick-fil-A. Clara has already become a part of our family and that will be official soon! Aaron has been such an encouragement to me as I have seen the strength of his faith and commitment to Christ grow. He may not have known it, but his strength helped me in times of struggle in my own life. I know God’s faithfulness will continue in his relationship with Clara. I am so excited for both of them and what their future holds, and I am honored to be Aaron’s best man!

I’m Drew Sullivan, and I’m from Topeka, Kansas. I met Aaron through Jacob Ivy, who was in one of my first classes at JBU. After visiting Aaron, Jacob, and Spangler’s room down the hall in our dorm a few times and witnessing the sheer chaos and fun radiating from it, I became friends with the three. As Aaron and I began sharing more classes, since we are both Economics majors, we got to be better and better friends and I ended up spending countless hours playing Shards at 3am, working out, debating, occasionally explaining my girl problems to him also around 3am, and listening to him call Clara in our dorm prayer room because I was bored and had nothing better to do than read in there at 11pm. That was my first time encountering Clara, and when she started the next year at U of A, and Aaron started to slink off to Fayetteville a couple times every week or Clara showed up at our dorm at about the same frequency, I got a pretty good idea of how much they mean to each other (hint: a lot) Needless to say, I’m stoked that they get to spend the rest of their lives together in person- sure will save them a lot of gas money ;)

Hey everyone! My name is Drew Janzen, and I have been given the honor of being one of Aaron's groomsmen! A bit about me, I spent most of my growing-up years overseas in Africa before moving to the small rural town of Burns, KS. I am currently engaged to the lovely Samantha Gauthier and am studying to become a Registered Dietician. I honestly have no idea when Aaron and I first met, it almost seems like he got folded into my life as soon as I stepped onto JBU's campus for the first time. Aaron is the kind of guy that you just want to be around because of his combination of deep thought and quick humor. I could not be more excited to be a part of his and Clara's special day!

I'm Jacob Ivy, and I am from Little Rock, Arkansas. I met Aaron in middle school and have spent a lot of time around him since then. We were Debate partners in high school and roommates for two years in college. I have spent countless hours with Aaron, from staying up till 4:00 in the morning playing shards to getting up at 7:25 to sprint to our class at 7:30. I got to see Aaron and Clara spend countless hours on the phone talking when they were long distance and even more countless hours in Fayetteville after Clara started college. I couldn't be happier for both of them and I am honored to get to be part of their wedding!

Hey I'm Jacob Devine. I'm Aaron's older brother. Well meeting Clara the very first time I knew she was the one for our family. She's funny and very driven. The number one thing about Aaron & Clara that I love is that they're putting Christ in the Center of their relationship. Clara helps me to keep on going for my education and my motivation. Aaron is the person who you can sit down and talk about anything that you need to say. And he's a caring loving person. I love to play games with him, watching movies and even watching tv shows like the Office. I'm so proud of you guys.

What up guys! I’m from Bryant, AR and went to high school at Bryant High School. I currently attend John Brown University where I am a senior studying Electrical Engineering and minoring in Worship Arts. I recently just got engaged to my fiancé who is also a Mechanical Engineer. I love hanging out with friends and family, as well as spending time outdoors. I met Aaron through running cross country in high school, and then we were roommates freshman year at JBU.
