Nicole & Avery
Wedding Party
Nicole Richardson
Bride
Nicole loves reading, collecting uniquely beautiful things, traveling, and being a mom. To see everyone sharing their gifts on her wedding day to celebrate her family is a dream come true.
Avery Pearson
Groom
Avery loves hiking, reading and nice writing implements. He seeks things of permanence (e.g., archaic language, typewriters and pocket watches) and enjoys exploring with his family while growing his beard.
Kristine Trigoso
Matron of Honor
Nicole and I met as freshmen at the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk!!) when she bummed a ride to Target and I subsequently saved her from her creepy assigned roommate. We became dorm-mates, who quickly became partners in crime, then best friends, and now she is a woman I am proud to call a sister. I am so incredibly happy for her and Avery and can't wait to watch them marry.
Ari Blackwell
Best Woman
HELLO! I am Avery's sister. My brother has been my best friend and one of the most important people in my life since the very beginning. We were inseparable as kids, roommates through college and are now neighbors and the closest of friends. I have been able to witness his relationship with Nicole through its many forms over the past 15 years. I saw them as friends, as a couple and now, as a family. I have seen them help each other through hardships and hold each other up when life gets difficult. I have seen them laugh together and plan together. I also have seen them be amazing parents to sweet Nolan I and excited and honored to stand next to them as they take this big step together.
Danny Richardson
Officiant
Hello there! I am Nicole’s brother, a gentleman, a scholar of fantasy football and a great collector of memes. I met Nicole the day I was hijacked from my mother’s womb and have been her go-to ever since. We don’t bother each other with trivial things (although that may be a lie), but we would bury a body for each other if needed. I will be the leader of this shindig, and I will nail it! Here’s to a great day!
Anrai Pearson
Groomsman
Anrai is Avery's brother. He is a talented individual who's creative mind knows no bounds. He works in animation, digital and physical drawing media, as well as music. If he becomes interested in a subject he will pursue it until he has mastery. He is also a savvy business man and a legend in Larry town. As the older brother Avery once had some younger gentlemen come to him to express awe that he was in fact Anrai's brother and to let him know that they had a relic associated with the god. This pissed Avery off because he was supposed to be legendary. Sadly, no one has ever called Avery a legend. Oh well. Anrai is the original bad man. No one can deny that. He is also an architect by trade.
Aimee Hoyt
Bridesmaid
Hi! Nicole and I met through our Mary Kay businesses. We shared some similar life experiences and have become close friends! I am honored to be a part of the wedding. Can’t wait to watch their happily every after life together! Love you guys!
Nick Richardson
Groomsman
Name: Nicolas “Without a Doubt” Richardson Height: Tall Enough Weight: On Watch Relation: Brother of the bride I met Avery when I was a young buck entering the 7th grade. I believe he helped my family move Nicole into her first apartment at THE University of Kansas. Nicole wasn’t a student athlete so unfortunately we didn’t receive financial compensation from Adidas for our efforts to move her. Avery has been, since day one, a gentleman and a scholar worthy of the highest respects. Truly an honor to stand beside him on the day he starts his beautiful family.
Holly Richardson
Bridesmaid
I'm Nicole's 1st sister-in-law. I met Nicole 9 years ago when I started dating her oldest brother Danny, and we have developed a close relationship over the past decade. I look forward to celebrating Nicole and Avery’s marriage as it takes a patient man to love Nicole and her robot legs.
Sam Blackwell
Groomsman
Sam met Avery when M60 Big ammo was a thing. If you know BLOPS you know. Averys sister confessed that she loved playing Call of Duty and wanted Avery to meet her new squad mate. Avery knew this was trash, because she never liked video games. She liked her new squad mate. Anyway, they got married, and Ari never played video games again. Sam's super cool though. He's an incredible wood worker, and a true gentleman. Kind, smart and stylish. Top notch Dado too. He also knows how much wood a woodchuck would chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. All around solid lad.
Becky Hoskinson
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met my first year of teaching. We survived some crazy times together in our first year. I am so glad I took a chance and asked her out to half price drinks after work. It quickly became our go to every Friday. We've both had so many ups, downs, and life transitions since then and Nicole has always been there every step of the way. I can't wait for your wedding!!!
Andrea Richardson
Bridesmaid
Hello! I am Nicole’s sister, Andrea! I met Nicole almost 6 years ago when I started dating her brother, Nick! We got along great from the start! She trusted me enough to watch her beautiful babies, helped me start my Mary Kay career, and now we get to be sisters! I am overjoyed to be a part of this family and I’m so excited to stand with Nicole and Avery on this day!
Lauren Claghorn
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I met at Space Camp in 5th grade and became fast friends! We were best friends all of middle school, and I was devastated when she moved to KS in high school. We kept in touch off and on through the years, but reconnected last year like no time had passed. I’m so honored to stand next to her while she marries the man of her dreams!
