Nicole & Ryan
Wedding Party
Matt Beierle
Best Man
Matt has been Ryan's best friend as long as he can remember. Ryan has always looked up to him as his older brother, mentor, and for level-headed advice. Matt and Ryan can be found laughing over a beer or playing an old classic together like Halo or Mario Kart. The two trust each other with anything and are always there for each other. There's not much that can bring two brothers closer than being fellow Jets fans!
Heather McLeod
Maid of Honor
Heather and Nikki met their freshman year of college, and the rest is history. Together they’ve been roommates, best friends and even fellow engineers turned into nurses. Heather has many talents- party throwing, rapping Eminem on demand, and being an incredible mom to name a few. Nikki and Ryan are so very thankful to have her (and the whole McLeod Family!) in their lives.
Christopher Baker
Groomsman
Nikki won the lottery getting Chris for a little brother. There really isn’t a more dedicated, hardworking and genuinely kind person out there. He might be younger, but he’s given her a lot to look up to. While Nikki and Chris have been best friends since 1996, Ryan and Chris became just as close these past few years. Ryan is so happy to be gaining another brother who embraces his dad jokes and endless hours of board games.
Jessie Shea
Bridesmaid
Jessie (AKA J Shoe) and Nikki also met as college freshman at WPI. Jessie is perhaps one of the most ambitious, talented and genuinely kind-hearted people on this earth. No matter where she is in the world, Jessie and Nikki have stayed close best friends. She is always up for an adventure- often inspiring Nikki with her outdoor antics, creative cooking recipes and crazy talent for distance running!
Tyler Sousa
Groomsman
Tyler and Ryan lived together in PT school and quickly became close friends. Spending countless hours biking through Boston, studying, and generally laughing about nonsense, the "dowel boys" can be found acting goofy anytime they are together.
Christie Scirocco
Bridesmaid
Christie is Nikki's one and only big sister. Ever since they were little, Nikki wanted nothing more than to be best friends with her big sister. Christie has a huge heart and an iconic laugh that can be easily identified in a crowd. To quote one of our favorite movies, "Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister!"
Tanner Snow
Groomsman
Tanner and Ryan became great friends in PT school, and are even closer after graduation. Their mutual love of board games, football, and a good beer have lead to many hilarious nights and a good amount of smack talk. Tanner is one of the best bakers Ryan has ever met and is always bringing something new and exciting to the table.
Alisha Robarge
Bridesmaid
Alisha is Nikki's childhood (and beyond) best friend. They met as awkward middle school kids, quickly bonding over their love of Harry Potter and their shared birthday and middle name! They've been through it all- from high school band nerds to figuring out life as adults. After about 20 years of friendship, Alisha is Nikki's "OG" best friend and still the only one who leaves voicemails when she calls.
Amy Eimer
Bridesmaid
Amy is Ryan’s one and only sister and the proud wearer of many hats. She’s is the incredible mom of Nate and AJ, a multitasking nurse practitioner and a soon to be marathoner! Ryan and Nikki are so happy to have Amy (and her family) in their lives and look forward to cheering her on in NYC this fall!
Katherine Lynn
Bridesmaid
Nikki kindly refers to Katie as "the Mayor"- because no matter where they go, Katie knows someone! That's probably because she is the brightest light in any room. It was clear early on that Katie was special, as she quickly became not only a friend, but family. Nikki and Ryan look forward to many more double dates, heated games of Catan and concerts to attend with their bestie, Katie.
Nate and AJ Eimer
Ring Bearer
The most dynamic duo there ever was! Nate and AJ are Ryan and Nikki’s nephews. They are full of energy and pretty much always giggling about something. Ryan and Nikki have had so much fun watching them grow up and they can’t imagine their wedding day without these two.
