Sofia and Savannah's friendship is built on encouraging each other through art projects and going on late night ice cream and baking adventures (usually as a reward for not going crazy during assignments). She can be found befriending every cat in sight or reading as many as she can before being dragged out of Barnes and Noble, and is always down for a cup of tea and long conversation.

Sam and Savannah have been buddies since the first day of their college journey. From 7:30am English to working in the caf, the two of them are trauma bonded for sure. Sam and Nathan met a year later and became good friends and roommates shortly after. Sam is the reason we are all here. After seeing the ✨sparkle✨ of possibility between the two of them, Sam would invite Nathan and Savannah to join him on various occasions and then have a "phone call" or an "errand" to run. Then... this happened. You're welcome ❤️

Hey there, I’m Kat! I met Savannah while working at Pandora. From the day we met, we just clicked and have been very close! I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow into such a wonderful young lady and have been able to watch the happy couples love story blossom! Nathan is a very luckily guy and I couldn’t be happier for the both of them! Cheers to the bride and groom and may their marriage be full of love and happiness!

Hi, I am Harrison. I met Nathan a couple of years ago when we were on staff at New Life Ranch. Interestingly enough I met him at a laundry mat and we talked about God and other random things for two and a half hours. Nathan is an awesome friend. I am so excited to celebrate this awesome couple. Excited to have a fun time and dance! Congratulations Nathan and Savannah. Y'all are awesome! God bless!

spanglerak@jbu.eduHi! I'm Abby Dudley, and I met Savannah when I was in middle school. Our friendship started as a result of me entering her older brother in a wet T-shirt contest against his will. As a result of that Savannah and I hit it off immediately. She and I have been through the thick and thin together including Disney movie marathons, late night ice cream runs, breaks ups, and three proms. She has been a rock through my life and I can't imagine it without her. And now for a fun fact, I've been attacked by an ostrich.

Oak is a Texas-born, China-raised, curly-haired, Jesus-saved, recently-married-to-his-best-friend human being who loves Nathan very much. Nathan and Oak got to know each other primarily through early morning breakfasts talking about their God and their girlfriends (who soon became their fiancées). After scheming engagements, committing theatrical murder, and punching each other, (it’s stage combat don’t worry) Oak and Nathan now plan on becoming even closer friends as they each begin walking in the blessing of married life.

I actually met Savannah for the first time at Cafe on Broadway. I was working, and she walked in all cool and nonchalant with her aviator sunglasses and leather jacket. We struck up a conversation and I found out she was from Texas which made her even cooler. About a year later Savannah asked me to help her with a photoshoot which sealed the deal for our friendship. I got to know Nathan a bit through theater stuff and mutual friends. I knew he and Savannah were friends, and any time she was going through a crisis I heard/saw that he was there for her. One day she and I were in the drive-thru getting way overpriced MnM McFlurries when I asked her: "Have you ever considered going out with Nathan?" Savannah: "Oh no! We decided long ago we would just be friends!" Me: "Huh. K..." I think they started dating a month later. Anyway, I was also told I should put in a fun fact about myself so.... This past summer Bill Clinton walked in on me eating chocolate cake at The Gathering Place in Tulsa. Thought you should know.

Nathan and Wes met through their mutual friendship with Savannah in late 2022! They hit it off perfectly well, as well as ornery and sarcastic men will do without adult supervision. Nathan provided Wes with a second job to make ends meet at JBU, and Wes provided relationship, and then engagement, and then soon marriage advice to him as well. They have grown closer and closer as both have grown towards the Lord in their friendship, and even if they don't feel like they are ready, this brotherhood that the Lord provided will only get deeper and more childish as Nathan heads off into the covenant of marriage!
