Our Wedding

What started as weekly dates and daily late-night chats on Xbox turned into regular evenings spent together and weekend adventures. Those unforgettable moments revealed that their feelings of love were mutual. They began to build small traditions – game nights, road trips, seasonal baking (banana bread, peanut brittle and fudge, apple cider).After two years of growing closer together, the autumn weather meant the return of their annual apple orchard adventure to get ingredients for their cider. After searching through all the trees, they had made it to the final row where Daniel asked Sidney to spend the rest of their lives together. We can’t wait to join our families and celebrate with our loved ones!

Our Story

Photos

Meeting a new teammate on the ball field at 11 years old felt like no big deal at the time. However, countless hours of softball, long drives, nights out and even time as housemates, it is hard to believe we were ever strangers.     Having the chance to plan our weddings at the same time has been an absolute joy. Davis is the most loyal (and loudest) friend you could have. If you need a lit playlist, life advice or even just a road trip companion, she’s your gal! 

Davis Carter

It only took one semester at Hanover and a few harmless pranks to realize that Jasmine was a lifelong pal. She’s laughter and love all wrapped up into feisty little package. Having a long-distance bestie is not for the faint of heart, but we have mastered the art of being virtual cheerleaders for each other's lives. The moment we're back in person, it's like no time has passed and she has me laughing like we were 18 again.

Jasmine Koch

An older sister that one could only ever wish to have. Katie has been the butt of many of my jokes over the years, but I know that she is always in my corner. Making me laugh on endless road trips to visit family, and always pushing me to do the right thing. She was a model example of how to be kid, a teenager, and an adult - leading the way for me to ensure I was prepared to take the next step into the many new parts of life we all take. Marriage being no exception, She sets the gold standard for what a sibling, a spouse, parent should be.

Gaining a new sister at seventeen is a wild ride. All of a sudden, you're back to putting clothes on an American Girl doll, leaving cookies out for Santa, and telling her not to repeat the bad word that played on Spotify when dropping her off at school. Jaida has grown to have the biggest heart and the passion to help those in need. Though Biology had nothing to do with creating this sisterhood, I am grateful for it.

Jaida Green

An unrivaled sense of humor, and genuinely great friend. From the fairways of a manicured golf course to the late-night games of tabletop RPGs, Nick's calendar is almost always filled, but he'll find a way to ensure he can still spend time with his friends somehow... You can always sleep later.

Even before the first semester started, Brandon and Dan were busy doing schoolwork together. Many late night's studying and cramming for final projects together, and even more nights of procrastinating playing xbox or partying leading up to them. A calm and collected sounding board in the chaos of life.

Brandon Bekkering

One day I had my very own playroom with pink carpet and the next (6/14/2021 to be exact,) I had a crying little brother and no playroom. I could go on and talk about Seth being a pest, all the fights I obviously won, and so on, but the real shocker is how quickly we ended up as best friends too.   
 Don’t let his “tough guy” look fool you; Seth is just a big, lovable goof. He is a natural protector of his loved ones, and it did not take long for Daniel to make that list.  

Seth Powers

Knowing Scot for over half my life, it's hard to even remember a time before him being a part of our family. From the first Church camp that I met him to the most recent family holiday. Scot has always been a role model for how to be a fantastic person and true family man. Making everyone feel comfortable and valued, ensuring everyone is having a great time. 

Scot Finney

Hands down the cutest members of the bridal party.  They are guaranteed to bring smiles and laughs to everyone there. 'Uncle' and Sidney are so excited that they get to be a part of the special day!

Q + A

Unfortunately, IU believed that our chosen wedding day would be the perfect opportunity to take on Ohio State. If you are needing travel accommodations, we suggest taking a look at AirBNB as most hotels in the area are already booked up for the game. Please don't hesitate to reach out for travel suggestions or any other questions!

We are looking forward to you joining us for our outdoor ceremony and open air reception. Please keep in mind both will be on the lawn so wear comfortable shoes. Indiana in the fall is beautiful but be prepared for it to cool down as the sun sets as well!
