We are so thankful God put these people in our lives!! Here is a peak of our wedding party!

Charity and Lizzy have been besties since middle school!! 
I am so so blessed to have Charity in my life. She is kind, smart, and such a role model of a faithful disciple of the Lord. I have literally grown up with her, and pray I can continue to grow up with her!!

My Sweet Summer! To know Summer is to love her! And I have loved her since high school. Summer is a God-fearing, song singing, musical preachin' girly whom I could not imagine my life without. If you need someone to sing at the top of your lungs with, look for Summer on the dance floor

My girl Sarah! I met Sarahy junior year of college, and could not have done it without her! We did all of our student teaching together, she is a blast. I am so freaking thankful that I survived, I mean....learned with her.

Wedding Party

What does that mean?Great question! Our wedding ceremony will be outside by the water. It will be beautiful, but also hot! We would love to see you in formal attire that is light, romantic, maybe even playful. Think florals, pastels, hues of blue and green. We kindly ask you to avoid wearing whites and blacks. Bring on the color!Strictly no light blue suits ;)Stressing about your attire? Don't! What matters most is you celebrating with us
