Wedding Party
Krista Dean
Maid of Honor
Not only is Krista my sister, but also a great friend and someone that is always ready and willing to give advice. She is one of the most compassionate people I know and I admire her for her love towards people, especially her friends and family.
Kelsey Moreau
Bridesmaid
Kelsey has not only been my best friend for 12 years, but has continued to be one of the most God-centered people I know. I admire her for her faith and commitment to God, her friends, and her family. I am extremely blessed by Kelsey and our friendship over the years.
Anna Kendrick
Bridesmaid
Anna and have been roommates and friends for 4 years. She is an awesome friend and encourager. We've been through some tough times at college and I always know who to turn to. Anna can make me laugh so hard my stomach hurts and I love her for it. Both Anna and her fiance Scott have been a huge blessing to Sam and I the past few years.
Amy Frost
Bridesmaid
Amy is one of my greatest friends. Although we only see each other once a year we pick up right where we left off. We can spend hours talking and drinking Starbucks and have had some great times these past 6 years of being friends. I love her dearly and couldn't be more excited that she's in my wedding!
Lauren Nelson
Bridesmaid
Lauren is not only my cousin, but a good friend. We've grown closer over our college years and I admire her for the strong person she is. Her dedication to education and graduating and also the way she loves her daughter Ava, is something I look up to her for.
Lucy Gerry
Jr. Bridesmaid
I have been Lucy's babysitter & next door neighbor for five years now. She is an amazing 10 year old who can make me laugh and who I enjoy spending time with. The Gerry family has meant a lot to both Sam and I and have been a huge encouragement throughout our engagement. Lucy is going to make a beautiful Jr. Bridesmaid & I'm so excited she'll be sharing in our wedding day with us!
Lily Gerry
Flower Girl
Lily is one of the sweetest five-year-old's I know. She has been a true joy in my life and recently Sam's. Being around Lily and spending time with her when I babysit brings me back to being five again. Whether it's playing with "my littlest pet shop" or American girls, painting nails or doing crafts, Lily and I always have fun.
Ben Haist
Best Man
Ben is my brother and a pretty cool guy. He is an incredibly talented person, has a genuine heart for people and I’m very excited to see how Jesus will use him and his artistic gifts in the future.
Nathan Meyers
Groomsman
Nathan and I have lived together all four years at Calvin College. He is one of my best friends and we enjoy spending time talking about theology, music, life and lipids. He may eventually become the only leading theologian/physicist on the planet.
Micah Vanderhill
Groomsman
I’ve known Micah since freshman year and we have lived together the past two years. He is one of the funniest people I know and an incredibly gifted musician. When he is not helping lead worship at Calvin College’s chapel, he is most likely listening to vintage funk.
Scott Scheidt
Groomsman
Ever since Scott and I sat next to each other in our high school Psychology class, I knew he was one of the most hilarious people I had ever met. Over the past four years, Scott and his fiancé Anna have been a great couple to hang out with and it’s been awesome getting to know him better.
Jesse Dean
Groomsman
Jesse is Katelyn's younger brother whom I have always admired for the talented athlete that he is. He could beat me at any sport or game with the exception of Taboo (when Katelyn is my partner). It’s been great to get to know him over the years and I can’t wait to see where God will lead him.
Jack Bradley
Ring Bearer
Jack is hilarious. He is 2 and a half and he is my (Sam's) second cousin. There is a fairly good chance he will eat the rings, but don't worry, we're getting backup.
