Anna Sink

Anna is Nikki's childhood friend since 6th grade. They both currently live in Atlanta, which means weekend walks with Anna's dog Ollie in Chastain Park, lots of pool days together in the summer, and Georgia football watching with her and her husband Taylor! Anna has been there through it all and we're so grateful she's apart of our wedding!
Shane Seckinger
Groomsman
Shane is Brant's step brother and closest in age to him. They didn't meet until high school but have built a true friendship over the years nerding out over golf, playing board games and more importantly hanging many blinds together. We're glad Shane will be apart of our wedding day!
Ansley Silva
Bridesmaid
Ansley is Nikki's childhood friend since 6th grade and fellow travel, Harry Potter, biscuit sandwich, and outdoors lover!

Love you Ansley!
Chris Pulliam
Groomsman
Chris is married to Brant's sister Lauren and is father to Coop, Cal & Co. Brant lived with him during his years at Kennesaw State and they have enjoyed playing a lot of golf and ruining code name sets together. We're fortunate that Lauren picked such a great addition to the family and are grateful he'll be with us on our wedding day!
Ashley Wallace

Ashley is Nikki's childhood friend since 6th grade and is currently in CRNA school in Winston-Salem!

We have a lot of fun double dating with her and her husband Matt and are so happy she's apart of our day!
Jordan Seckinger

Jordan is Brant's older step brother and at one time was even his boss. Brant is grateful for all he taught him while working together and treating him like his own little brother. Jordan's goofy and positive outlook is fun to be around and we're happy he will be with us to celebrate our wedding!
Katie Parr
Bridesmaid
Katie and Nikki met at work 5 years ago but went from work friends to traveling the country together - during COVID they went to 25 US National Parks together and had the best time hanging out all the time in Atlanta! Though Katie recently moved to Colorado with her 3 cats and boyfriend Matt we're so excited she's flying in for our wedding day.
Brandon Schwendel
Groomsman
Brandon ("Bernie") is Brant's younger brother who has always been a computer wizard and an amazing cook - you can find him outside smoking meat for 24 hours. He was frequently Brant's wiffle ball teammate in backyard wiffle ball vs. Paul and Matthew and they played a lot of COD3 together. We're excited to have Brandon apart of our wedding!
Lauren Pulliam
Bridesmaid
Lauren is Brant's older sister and mom to 3 of our 4 favorite nephews! She's always been there for Brant and even housed him for many years. Lauren is the life of the party so we're excited to have her keep us going all day on our wedding day!
Matthew Schwendel
Groomsman
Matthew is Brant's youngest brother and Brant's opponent in backyard wiffle ball. Together with the brothers you can find him lifting and having crazy cheat meal days. We are looking forward to having Matthew with us on our wedding day!
Nikki Schwendel The First
Bridesmaid
Yes, there is already a Nikki Schwendel - Brant decided to copy his brother Paul and also marry a Nikki! Nikki is our sister-in-law and mom to one of our 4 favorite nephews. She's already been a staple part of the family for years so we need her with us on our wedding day!
Dakota Skutka
Groomsman
Dakota is Brant's cousin and lifelong friend. He's 6 months younger than Brant and is like another brother to him. Brant cherishes the days of walking to middle school together, fights in the woods (sorry Dakota), and all things playing outside together. We are happy Dakota will be present to share in celebrating our wedding!
