WEDDING PARTY

BRIDESMAIDS:
Jaci Latham - Matron of Honor - Jaci is my beautiful sister that has been there for me all my life.  In many ways she has inspired me to be strong and independent like she is.  She has also taught me a lot about love in her marriage with Patrick Latham. 

Heather Van Der Dys - Heather has been a great friend of mine since elementary school.  Through all these years she has always been one I could call and express my issues.  I truly enjoy each time we get a chill night to do creative crafty activities.

Hannah Rabon - I met Hannah at the rockhouse and she is now my roommate in Fayetteville.  Hannah is who I always go to for late night talks, nature walks, and movie nights.  I have learned a lot from her and her ability to reach out to people to connect with them on a deeper level

Liz Ralston - Liz was an residential assistant with me last year and also attends the rockhouse.  I love her massive amounts of joy and energy displayed in her life.  She has always been an encouragement to me in her prayer life and her desire to build relationships

Olesia Toll - I have known Olesia since high school and she was the one to break me out of my shell.  Olesia is the most spontaneous person I know, she would always put me in new situations.  I loved that she made me grow into the more outgoing person I am today,


GROOMSMEN:

Asher Bradley - Best Man - Asher is Josh's older brother.  Josh looks up to Asher in many ways especially in his tenacity and desire to grow in his faith.

Jonathan Chavez - Josh met Jonathan at our church (the Rockhouse).  Jonathan has a very bubbly personality and has a desire meet people in the community and have meaningful relationships with them.

Ryan McSwain - Ryan, although older than Josh, was a resident of Yocum while Josh was a Resident Assistant.  Ryan is an extremely patient person and is always there for advice or if you just need to talk.

Christian Bradford - Christian was on Josh's floor in Humphreys dorm our freshman year.  Christian is a very humble and appreciative man, and inspires all of us around him to be the same way. 

Jordan Adkison - Jordan is a business major along with Josh and also goes to our church.  Jordan is a very devoted friend and will go to far lengths to help a friend in need.  

Patrick Donathan - Patrick is a business major along with Josh.  He always takes the time to get to know a person and will go to far lengths to help out a friend.

Hello everyone!

We are so blessed by all our friends and family's continual support of our relationship the past three years and are so glad that you will joining us on our wedding day!  Josh and I have been incredibly blessed in all aspects of our lives, and we would like to start off our relationship blessing others.  We would like to ask for your help by giving to one of the five projects that we have chosen to support instead of buying us traditional wedding gifts.  The five projects are: Our Step Housing, Fund a poverty fighter in the Dominican Republic, Maternal Mortality Reduction Project in Lesotho, One Home for Our 100 Homes Project, and Alleviating Physical & Spiritual Poverty: Glorious Int.

If you feel led to purchase us a gift we ask that you purchase it through our registry Walmart or Bed Bath and Beyond.  Since we are in the mist of moving to Utah we ask that if you buy us a gift from the registry to please ship it.  Both registry websites have our new address as the destination. We will be adding to our registry over the next few weeks so check in for updates.

The stores we have chosen for our registry have partnered with Pure Charity so that a portion of your purchase can be given to the project of your choice. In order to ensure that a donation will be made please create an account and register your card in the rewards tab at the top of the browser. We are ecstatic to see the miracles God will do through these projects!  Thank you for all your generosity and support of our lives together.

 

Love always,

Josh & Jessi
