I'm Cullen. As you can tell, I am crying in this picture. Whether it be because of the immense beauty of the pizza in front of me or because my allergies were acting up, we'll never know. The important thing is that a picture of me crying is on the internet and won't be deleted for some time. Feel free to save this picture for any future blackmail purposes.

I met James in his undergraduate time at Cairn but didn’t officially become friends with him until after college where in the last year or so we would connect at guy’s nights on Thursdays and go into the deeper things of life. We now hangout usually once a week to talk about work and other topics and have become really close friends who can share anything with one another.

Worst enemy of the groom. Truce was called for this wedding. Will resume fighting after the ceremony.

Therapist, farm kid, German speaker, two time 5K finisher. If this describes you, you’re me looking at me in a mirror.

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing James since we were in eighth grade. James has been a special friend and we have walked through some crazy seasons of life together. I now have the honor of teaching at our old school and frequently get to tell my students about the amazing friend group that formed years ago. Celebrating James and Biz’s marriage will be one of the best memories that we’ll get to add to our long list of good times!

Hello I am Phil! I have known the wonderful and incredibly handsome James for over a decade and I am very honored to be part of this very special day and see these two wonderful people be married!

Hello! I am Eric and this is my wife, Betsey. My second love is the Cincinnati Bengals, by whom I have been hurt countless times. Also, I play way more golf than my skill level warrants. My condolences to the chef.

Biz has been my sister and best friend since the day I was born :) Although she wished I was puppy when she found out she was getting a sibling, I’m pretty sure she enjoyed cutting my hair without permission and choosing my favorite color for me more. We’ve been through a lot together: from accidentally shattering our parents’ glass table while playing Polly Pockets and enduring bad haircuts, to leading worship together and encouraging each other in our faith… I have grown increasingly aware of the treasure I have in my sister. She truly is one of the biggest blessing I will have in this life. I’m so excited to support and encourage her as she enters this next adventure. ♥️

Hi I’m Brooke! I met Biz a little over 2 years ago and it instantly felt like we knew each other our whole lives! It went from crashing on her couch every weekend to moving into that same house. It has been such a blessing to share a wall- which we often tap 3 times on to communicate “I love you”. It’s going to be weird to not see each other everyday but I couldn’t be more excited for Biz and James as they enter this exciting next season of life. It’s been an honor to be a part of the tricycle with you two but it’s time to take off that third wheel so you two can ride on the bicycle of marriage.
Angelica Santiago - Bridesmaid
Hi y’all! Im Angelica Santiago (aka Rev Ang lol) and I’ve had the pleasure of doing life with Biz for a little over 3 years! Roommates turned to friends, and friends quickly turning into sisters. The moment I first met Biz I knew that I needed to be friends with her! Shes someone who loves others with her whole heart, who goes out of her way to be there for others and who makes the best beer bread ever! I just knew I needed her in my life and I’m so grateful that God made this friendship happen. My friendship with Biz has been an answered prayer and I can’t wait to see another answered prayer be fulfilled on July 6th! - Love your little sis <3
Emily Brubaker - Bridesmaid
Hi! I'm Em! Biz and I have been buddies since birth! It was such a blessing to grow up together! From Hatch-boci vacations and youth group events, to getting food poisoning together on a missions trip (a miserable time, that we still laugh about now), we surely have had a blast together in the last 20+ years. So excited to be standing with her for her big day!

Steph Pagliaro - Bridesmaid
I'm Steph! Eliz and I met almost 10 years ago while working at Texas Roadhouse. I trained her one day, and then went home and stalked her on Facebook that night because I wanted to be friends with her so badly. Luckily, she didn't think that was creepy, and we've been attached at the hip ever since. True story! Anybody who knows Eliz is aware that she makes everybody around her a better person, and I couldn't be more thankful that God placed her perfectly in my life when I needed a sister like her. I'm blessed to have been with her through so many beautiful, difficult, and crazy seasons of life- and I can't wait to take on this next chapter together. I'm honored to be by her side on her special day!!
