Matron of Honor ~ Gisselle

When Tabitha prayed for a best friend, God gave her more than she could have ever hoped for in Gisselle. Though they only met in 2020, it's felt like they've known each other their whole lives! Gisselle emanates the love of God, serves others with such a loving and welcoming heart, knows how to bless your tastebuds with fine baking and cooking, constantly makes you laugh with her infectious personality, and shows with her life what it means to be a biblical wife and sister in Christ! She has and continues to be a rock in Tabitha's life. Though she sings and acts like an angel, don't think for two seconds that she won't toss a chancla like an Olympic champion at whoever is causing problems in your life.🩴😎 Yes she's sweet, but naturally she's got some spice to her as well 💃🏻

If you hear what sounds to be two cackling hens, chances are it's just Tabitha and Gisselle being the most ridiculous versions of themselves, filming only the highest quality of dance routines and TikTok challenges for your viewing pleasure.

Maid of Honor ~ Madelyn

Madelyn and Tabitha met in 2017 through a young adult bible study. They share an abnormal level of adoration for one of God's dumbest, yet most precious, creations - chickens! 🐔.....and other birds of "equal" intelligence/amusing personalities! Not only do they share a love of various birds, but they also share a love of the Lord, adventures, quality time, and the ability to laugh one moment, and have a deep meaningful conversation the next.


Madelyn has been a constant source of laughter, encouragement, and support over the years. Her love of the Lord radiates from within and she lives life to the fullest! Madelyn is who Tabitha has wanted to be when she grows up (as if that day will ever come 🤪) Additionally, if Tabitha were to ever get stranded in the woods, she would hands down choose Madelyn as her #1 draft pick for survival. Nature doesn't stand a chance against Madelyn and her vast knowledge of natural remedies and pureblood instinct to get things done. 💪🏻She's basically a massive blessing... or something like that😉 If "wife material" had a name, it would be Madelyn! And she could be YOUR wife if you play your cards right because she is in fact single and ready to mingle 😎

Bridesmaid ~ Kailamai

Kailamai has been a longtime friend of Tabitha since college ❤️They met back in 2014 through Campus Alive in Christ, a Christian club at North Idaho College, and have yet to lose touch, even when living in separate parts of the country! (Thank you, technology!) The two of them have a special place in their hearts for those four-legged family members we don't deserve 🐶 Kailamai is loyal, a phenomenal chef/host, loves hard and deep, and is someone Tabitha has always looked up to for how she treats others and for the example she sets of what it is to be a biblical wife and friend. To say she's been a constant source of encouragement and support is a severe understatement. If you have a Kailamai in your corner, you're nothing short of fortunate 😇

Bridesmaid ~ Jena

Jena and Tabitha first met at the CDA Tree Nursery back in 2018. What began as two strangers meeting as coworkers has now blossomed into a beautiful friendship Tabitha cherishes greatly. The two of them are known for their ability to randomly break out in "highly skilled" dance moves without music while on the clock 👯‍♀️🪩 If it brings a smile to people's faces, is it REALLY wasting the taxpayers money? 😉

Jena has a heart of gold, loves deeply, is hilarious, and will always be that one ray of sunshine you need on your most thundercloud of a day. If you need a smile put on your face, get yourself a Jena. Everyone needs a Jena ❤️ But not this Jena. This Jena is Tabitha's 😉


...but she could be your Jena if you're a dog-loving gentleman because she's also single...

Bridesmaid ~ Mary

Mary is the reason Tabitha survived her years as a wildfire dispatcher 😂 They first met as strangers in 2020 and worked together for two years. It didnt take much for them to basically assume the roles of village idiots in the workplace and quickly became friends! From putting out fires via radio to "fires" in their own lives, Mary has been an unforgettable blessing. If Tabitha had to endure what she did during her dispatch years just to meet Mary, she would do it all over again. Romans 8:28 holds a special place in their hearts and they've seen how the Lord has provided for them in even the most difficult situations. If Mary doesn't put a smile on your face or make you feel like all is well in the world, then I'm sorry to inform you that you are the problem 😂 Mary is a never-ending bundle of joy, full of life, love, optimism, and zeal. If you were to have a bobble head on your dash to cheer you up, Mary would be the bobble head of your dreams. You can't help but smile, laugh, and feel all your problems vanish when you're in the presence of her. Get yourself a Mary. But not this Mary. Like Jena, she is Tabitha's Mary.


...but can also be yours for the price of being God-fearing and adventure loving because yes, she is single too!

Best Man ~ Tim

Tim was my neighbor growing up, we slayed 7-headed hydras and sprites, (if you didn't know, sprites are massive lion-headed grasshoppers, at least, according to Tim). When I returned from Japan in 2019, he became the family I needed to be with periodically, just to have a conversation with someone who knew me deeply, loved me, and could give sound counsel. His livingroom became a bastion of truth and joy, and I know I shall continue to need and enjoy his friendship for years to come.

Groomsman ~ Nathan

Nathan was first a frisbee friend, and then we were classmates, and then we realized we kind of needed each other... Not just to tackle homework together, late into the night, but we needed someone to pray with on campus, someone to discuss the question "does it matter if Genesis is literally true?" with, someone to challenge, and be challenged by. Nathan has been that for me! He's challenged me to move, to pray, to stand, and I do all of that a little better because God's work in this man!

Groomsman ~ David

I remember the day David was born, and the day he came home. Its probably my clearest and earliest memory. I have always loved him, and now I am proud of him!


David loves the Lord, he is willing to engage in real conversation, Hes extremely talented musically... and Yep, hes single, ladies!


His was the voice that Jesus has spoken through to me many times, more than once his random call was perfectly timed, and was like a shaft of light from heaven into a dark or doubtful moment. His constant friendship, prayers and encouragement are a refreshment to many!

Below is a favorite conversation between my sister and David:

David: *driving*
Julia: how fast are you driving??
David: seventy-how fast are you driving?!
Julia: (dubious) seventy...
David: hypocrite!

The end.

Groomsman ~ John

John, Nathan and I built an amazing Dragon ball Z style snow-super-sayan-man, we suffered through numerical analysis together, we celebrated birthdays and weddings. I have forced him to defy mild injury and cold water. I have been welcomed to his home, slept in his room, we've gone to church together, and we have become brothers. John has been a consistent friend, he lights up every time we connect, and I am grateful to have shared so much of life with him!


Yep, he's single, ladies!


John: stares into the distance for a minute... "when did that wasteland turn green??"

Groomsman ~ Caleb

Picture of Groomsman ~ Caleb

It was a warm summer day in Merced. I was sitting in the shade making phone calls when a couple dudes walked up to jamba juice, talking, and I could just tell they were Christians... Knowing that they probably wanted to have a solid private conversation, I left them alone for a while until their body language suggested that they were done with serious conversation. I then walked up and said, are you guys Christians? to which Caleb turned with a huge smile and blurted Yes!

After a few months, we became roommates, like, in the same room... which meant I was subjected to sudden discourses from a disembodied voice at 12am on be fruitful and multiply, or some other text that boiled out of Calebs soul... Seriously though, it was usually 12am.

PSA: He is also single! 😉
