Wedding Party
Nicole
Maid of Honor
Nicole is my other half (besides Steven). You can almost always catch us belting out a broadway song in the car (we've killed some duets), talking about the latest and greatest women's soccer players, giggling at our own jokes late into the night, or shouting "women in STEM!" I couldn't imagine having a funnier little sister and mini-me, and I am so excited to have her by my side on our wedding day!
Nigel
Best Man
He is the Best Man. His name is Nigel. We became friends in college, house mates after college, and been best friends ever since. We take longs walks on the beach, and enjoy the casual movie together. He takes photos, I take photos, it all works out.
Patrice
Bridesmaid
Patrice and I share a love of baking and all baked goods! Whether it's talking about our favorite desserts or what our students are doing in the classroom, I have the best conversations with Patrice. She cares deeply for those around her and always puts others first, and I can't wait to officially call her my sister and share all the best family recipes together!
Kohen
Groomsman
He is a groomsman. His name is Kohen. I watched him grow up into a terrific teenager. He was my first nephew, and I was about his age now when he was born. He loves the outdoors, playing video games, and cuddling with the occasional doggo.
Andrea
Bridesmaid
Andrea is the ultimate dog aunt and dog whisperer! I have loved getting to know and spend time with Andrea through many amazing dinners and movie nights together. We have bonded through our love of countless things including Disney and dogs (among many other things). Andrea never fails to lend us a helping hand in any way we need, especially through running the best doggy day care, and I am so excited to call her my future sister!
Austin
Groomsman
He is a groomsman. His name is Austin. My second nephew, and my godson. That's right, I am his Godfather and I could not be more proud. I mean look at that steak in the photo. #priorities. This kid loves to act, loves drama, and the good ol filet mignon.
Jules
Bridesmaid
When I was young, I wanted to be just like Jules. I thought Jules was the coolest and smartest cousin around, which is why you found me following in all the same school activities she did and playing soccer just like she did. To this day, you can still find Jules and I reliving our childhood memories of school and talking about the current world of soccer, and she remains one of the most supportive people I know (plus the best teammate for any board game)!
Zak
Groomsman
He is a groomsman. His name is Zak. He will always be a kid at heart. He knows how to enjoy life to the fullest. Whenever Zak is around you are always bound to have an adventure. He is the brother to Nigel and Ben, and will always be seen as an extended brother to me.
Becky
Bridesmaid
I don't think I've laughed more with anyone else than I've laughed with Becky. From pulling shenanigans together during our college years at LMU to traipsing around Ireland while Irish dancing, feeding deer in the park, and jumping in freezing cold bays, I always have the best time when I'm with her. Becky brings fun to any situation we're in, and I aspire to reach her level of creativity and adventure in all she does!
Ben
Groomsman
He is a groomsman. His name is Ben. A simple man. Ben always finds ways to make me laugh and keep me grounded. He always offers a different perspective and became someone that I valued and enjoyed being around. Ben is the brother to Nigel and Zak and also is an extended brother to me.
Sara
Bridesmaid
Sara and I have been two peas in a pod since we were babies. I can't imagine going through Girl Scouts, performing in musicals and plays, having sleepovers while playing our favorite Rugrats video game, playing softball together, and going through a mutual One Direction craze with anyone besides her. Sara is my fashion style icon and the world's most compassionate person (and cousin), and I am so excited to have her as a bridesmaid!
