Abby and Ave met at OneLife, and quickly became best friends! They bonded over their love for volleyball, rain and the outdoors. Both of them parted ways and went to other colleges, but eventually found themselves transferring to Lancaster Bible College. They became roommates and grew in their love for Christ and for each other as (unrelated) sisters. Ave seriously cannot imagine her wedding day without Abby standing right next to her!
Mirah Bakhit - Bridesmaid
Mirah started off as Ave’s RA at Lancaster Bible College, but they became fast friends when Ave stole Mirah’s shoes in the school cafeteria and they had a wrestling match :) Mirah is a fiery bundle of joy and peace, and makes Ave laugh until she cries, all while pushing her in her faith. Ave has to have this life-long friend by her side for this big day!
Sarah Dukeman - Bridesmaid
Another one of Ave’s unrelated sisters from OneLife is Sarah! Ave calls her the “big brother,” as Sarah is protective, loving and has stood by Ave throughout it all. Ave thinks that Sarah is one of the first people she told about Noah! Ave can’t imagine celebrating without Sarah by her side.
Carolyn Snyder - Bridesmaid
Carolyn and Ave met at Lancaster Bible College through a mutual friend. They have never had a single class together, yet they clicked and continued to enjoy spending time together, watching NCIS and eating gluten and dairy free snacks! Carolyn’s laughter is contagious, and the way she cares for others is heartwarming. Of course she has to be by Ave’s side for the wedding!
Noelle Stringer - Bridesmaid
Noelle is Ave’s middle sister, and closest in age to her. They shared a room growing up, and also share fond childhood memories of art projects, dressing up, playing in mud and wrestling matches in the living room. Noelle is strong and resilient, and one of the most warm and caring people Ave knows. They have dreamed about wedding days for a long time, so of course Noelle has to be a bridesmaid!
Daniella Stringer - Bridesmaid
Daniella is Ave’s youngest sister! The best way to describe Daniella is positive, cheerful, and goofy. No matter the life circumstance, D has always been joyful and eager to support Ave. Especially in her relationship with Noah, Daniella has been by her side, so she also will be by Ave’s side on the wedding day!
Cara Kitchen - Bridesmaid
Cara and Ave met during OneLife, and became close throughout the year as they experienced many good, funny, and hard situations together. Cara has a sweet heart and gentle soul, one that Ave loves to be around. She lights up the room, and Ave can’t wait to have Cara stand by her side during her wedding!

Adam Martin - Groomsman

Isaiah Lapp - Groomsmen
Ice is another one of Noah and Ave's good OneLife friends! He shares a love of the outdoors with Noah and they get into some pretty goofy antics together, especially when on the dance floor! He is a super special friend to them both, and they are excited to have stand next to them on their big day!
