Our Wedding

I noticed Lily for the first time when she began attending our Churches Grace Group. I literally thought, “Wow she’s absolutely beautiful and she loves Jesus?! I have to get to know this woman!” So that’s exactly what I did! Every time I got to hangout with Lily and get to know her more I fell more and more in love. Lily’s beauty inside and out is evident to anyone who knows her. Her bubbly personality, love for Jesus, high noble character, attention to detail, hard work, and sense of humor are just a few of the reasons I love her! Lily made me the happiest man on earth when I FINALLY got to take her on our first date. Then she made me even happier when she said yes to marrying me! Loving Lily has been the greatest adventure of my life and I’m so thankful to continue our adventure together forever!

His Side of the Story

I was invited to Grace Group by a dear friend in the fall of 2022. I then continued to attend Grace Group and get involved in BGC. That fall, Kohltin asked members from GG to help him with his Night Market stand and make crepes. Thinking it was a grace group activity and wanting to make friends, I said of course I could help raise money for a good cause. A couple weeks before Night Market, Kohltin asked if I could come and practice making crepes, I said yes. I went over to his apartment and it was only the two of us.🙈 As a non quitter, I decided to keep helping Kohltin even though this was no longer a Grace Group activity. This was when I became friends with Kohltins little sister and I thought to myself, well at least I made one friend through this event. After night market, Kohltin and I didnt have a reason to hang out so we didnt. And somewhere in there, I started to miss his friendship. At some point we started texting again and started to hang out in group settings. And yes, I did make him wait until July to take me on an official date. And he did. Kohltin also asked me to be his girlfriend that very night... fast forward 5 months and now we are getting married♥️

Our Story

Little Memories♥️

Lily's oldest sister! As a child,"Jordy" was Lily's role model and the best oldest sister you could ask for! As a child, all of Lily's favorites were because they were Jordy's favorites! Jordyn means so much Lily, she had to have her as her Matron of Honor! 

Jordyn

Lily's favorite (and only) little sister! Lily prayed and prayed to. be a big sister and God blessed her with Avery! The two of them grew up playing together, having sleepovers, building awesome tents and being besties! Lily loves hyping Avery up and knew Avery needed to be the one to hype her up on her wedding day!

Avery

Lily's best friend from high school! Annika was the only reason Lily past Algebra 1 and Geometry and was Lily's favorite homecoming date! You could often find the two of them laughing and goofing around. 

Annika

Carissa is newest roomie in the Carmer household, which was how Lily and Carissa became such good friends. They laugh, they sing, they talk. Not only are they cousins, but they have the sweetest friendship together!

Carissa

Katie is Kohltin's little sister. She helped with night market last year where she met Lily. The two of them worked to make crepes and enjoyed the night talking to each other about traveling, music, and college. The two of them hit it off from the start and are excited to become sisters!

Katie

Kohltin's older sister! Lily and Kurstyn both have a love for their dogs, which is why they probably like each other so much! They are excited to get to know each other more and have many family dinners together!

Kurstyn

Amariah and Lily met through grace group.  Thanks to Ethan's Birthday, Lily and Amariah rode together to Buca di Beppo. After that, they became friends and have loved going on walks, talking, and shopping together! 

Amariah

Jael is one of Kohltin's dearest friends, which only makes sense why Lily and Jael get along too! Lily and Jael met through grace group and have enjoyed walking together in their relationship with the Lord. 

Jael

Ethan is a pastor with Bellefontaine Grace Church and has been one of Kohltin’s closest friends and mentors since they met at Grace College. Ethan and Kohltin make a great team whether they are playing spikeball, doing ministry together, or creating a beautiful oasis in Ethan's backyard. If you get to be around these two together they will most likely be talking theology, laughing about past memories, or making plans to become entrepreneurs. 

Ethan

Khale is also Pastor at Bellefontaine Grace Church and has known Kohltin since they were very young. Having grown up with Kohltin and stayed close to him for all these years Khale is more of a brother than a best friend. This brotherhood goes deep from being the dynamic duo of offensive lineman and running back in high school (I will let you figure out who was who), college roommates, working together from job to job, and serving side by side in the Gospel. 

Khale

Eddie is one of Kohltin’s best friends. Having met in college and not being each others biggest fans at first, to becoming best friends and eventually roommates for many years in “chateau la beefy boi”. These years together allowed them to grow close and nourish a friendship that is greatly cherished! They both like to participate in crazy adventures, deep conversations about life, growing in their faith together, faithful moments of friendship, and the always delicious Taco Bell.

Ben and Kohltin met at Grace College and they became co-workers which turned into instant friendship. This friendship was immensely impacted by their shared vision to live a life of all out love for Jesus. Though life has come with ups and downs Ben and Kohltin have always been able to pick each other right back up and encourage each other towards the Lord. From fishing, camping, golf cart rides, dreaming about our future lives, and bowling these two will be lifelong friends!

Klayson is the grooms “little” brother.  (He is ALMOST taller than Kohltin). When Kohltin was little he always wanted a brother. When God brought Klayson to the family, Kohltin was so excited to wrestle each other, beat each other up, get in trouble together, and really do the things brothers do. However, this wasn’t the case… being 8 years apart their relationship was more of changing diapers, having an annoying little brother around, and getting in trouble for teasing each other. Even though these dreams didn’t come true for Kohltin back then, Klayson is now a man that Kohltin has much respect for and is so thankful to have as a brother. Klayson’s goofiness, love for Jesus, and creative thinking are just a few of Kohltin’s favorite things about his beloved little brother. 

Klayson

Sam and Kohltin met at  Bellefontaine Grace Church! Sam is a wonderful man of God and has faithfully been one of Kohltin’s friends for almost 5 years. Kohltin loves playing spikeball with Sam, (Sam is really good), talking about life and the Lord, and striving to see the Gospel moved forward! Even though these two are quite opposite in personality (Kohltin is rather loud and Sam is not 😂) God has brought them together and allowed a trusting friendship to blossom. Sam's dedication, grit, and desire to help those around him are just a few of the things Kohltin admires!

Darren and Kohltin have been friends for about 5 years and met through Bellefontaine Grace Church. Darren is a passionate man who loves Jesus and is uncompromising in his dedication to serve our Lord! Darren and Kohltin have enjoyed many times together from getting in a good lift in Darren’s home gym, driving all the way to Springfield just to get Tropical Smoothie, and jamming out to some really good Christian Rap. Darren's ambition, family focus. and constant faithfulness make him a great influence and an even greater friend!

Darren

Cadan and Kohltin have been friends for right around 5 years after they met through Bellefontaine Grace Church. Cadan is a man to be admired and a great friend. He is always there when you need someone to help you out, just hang out and talk, or play any board game under the sun! Cadan and Kohltin have enjoyed many times of friendship through serving at 144 student ministries, playing all the made up games that Cadan’s two daughter want us to, and getting Kohltin to actually like eating Dominoes pizza! 🙈 Cadan's love for Jesus is evident to everyone he comes in contact with!

Cadan

Adi is married to Lily’s sister Jordyn. If you don’t know, the Carmer household is all girls (even their dog Junie b) except for Fred Lily’s father. When Adi came along into the family, Fred was thankful to have another man. Now that Kohltin will be joining, the numbers for the men are growing at the Carmer family gatherings. Adi has always made Kohltin feel welcome and comfortable when hanging out with the Carmers. Adi loves to have fun and is always down to participate in any of the family activities! Kohltin and Adi look forward to being brother-in-laws and growing in their friendship for many years to come.
