Wedding Party
Heather Hopkins
Maid of Honor
Meet Heather, my best friend and confidante, who has been by my side through it all. From our first days in the psychology program to the moment she had to spell it out for me that Nick was asking me out, we have shared so many unforgettable memories. I am beyond grateful to have her standing with me on this special day. Her unwavering support, love, and laughter have meant the world to me, and there is no one else I could imagine as my maid of honor.
Alex Horning
Best Man
Nick and Alex first crossed paths over a decade ago at Central Washington University, where a chance meeting in their freshman dorm quickly blossomed into three years as roommates and a lifelong friendship. With a natural eye for photography, Alex has long played the role of Nick’s unofficial documentarian—capturing countless memories over the years, including the unforgettable moment when Nick proposed to Ashley. Now, as Nick takes the next big step in his life, he’s honored to have Alex by his side as his best man.
Olivia Warnimont
Bridesmaid
Olivia and Ashley met at church when Ashley was starting her new journey in Seattle. Since then, they have built a lasting friendship filled with unforgettable memories. Ashley could not imagine celebrating this special day without Olivia by her side.
Matt Brazell
Groomsman
Nick and Matt first met during their sophomore year at Central Washington University, where a shared love of sports—especially football—quickly sparked a close friendship. Living just across the street from each other during their later college years only brought them closer. Over the years, their bond has remained strong, and with Nick now back in Seattle, they are making the most of the chance to spend even more time together. Nick is both excited and honored to have Matt standing by his side on this special day.
Madi Birkenfeld
Bridesmaid
Ashley is thrilled to have her future sister-in-law, Madi, by her side on this special day. Madi’s infectious energy lights up every room, and it is just one of the many reasons Ashley adores her. She is excited to not only gain a sister but a lifelong friend.
Tyler Gaffaney
Groomsman
Nick and Tyler first met during a work training in 2019, but it was not until Nick moved to Denver that their friendship truly began to grow. Over the years, Tyler has become a trusted confidant and an unwavering source of support. Now both living in Seattle, Tyler remains a constant and meaningful presence in Nick’s life. Nick is honored and grateful to have him standing by his side on this special day.
