Wedding Party
CHAD BILLS
Officiant
April (Chad’s wife) -> Chad: Caring (would do anything for family or friends), Fun (enjoys a good time 🍻), Methodical “Nelly and I became great friends when my family relocated to MN in 2014. I was lucky to meet Nelly. Some of my happiest, most memorable days in MN were spent with Nelly. Nelly and Cara are the epitome of fun! While my family moved back home to IN, our families have remained friends proving "true friends stay with you no matter the distance or time that separates you from them.” I am grateful for our friendship and I look forward to celebrating their Big Day. Cheers!”
JOHN KRIESEL
Best Man
Kayla -> John: Hilarious, Generous & Caring, Works Hard and Plays Harder “Tim has been my best friend of 16 years and the most loyal, dependable friend I have ever had… until Cara came along and made it a tie. They are both amazing people, adventurous and always up for whatever. They are family to us and we are so fortunate to have them in our lives. I am so excited for them and proud to celebrate their special day.”
KAYLA KRIESEL
Matron of Honor
John -> Kayla: Fun, Loyal, Spicy "I met Tim & Cara because Tim is my husband John’s best friend. There is a quote that says friends are the family you choose for yourself. Tim and Cara are exactly that. Not only are they some of our best friends, but we truly consider them a part of our family as well. I am so excited to celebrate them becoming husband and wife!"

DEANNA KOSSETT
Mother of the Bride
John -> Deanna 1st attempt: I like the way Deanna pokes me and then smiles when she wants me to give her a little attention. Cara -> John: hey, can you maybe just give me adjectives about mom? John -> Deanna 2nd attempt: I'm a simple caveman. I feel good when she is near and I miss her when she is away. Cara -> John: you're not getting it... "We are so excited for the future Mr. and Mrs. Nelson and family. Such a match! A blended family can be challenging, but Tim and Cara have really figured it out. I know the kiddos are over the moon, and we are thrilled. Love you ALL!!!!"
JOHN KOSSETT
Father of the Bride
Deanna -> John: Mr. Fixit Extraordinaire "Tim is still a kid at heart but he is a really nice guy. Cara can help him with the kid part when needed." John is a man of few words, unless asked to simply provide a few words. ;)
DARLENE NELSON
Mother of the Groom
Stan -> Darlene: Smart, Beautiful, Proverbs 31:10-12 Wife "We have known Tim since he was born! He has always been fun, determined (some might say a bit strong-willed), courageous, handsome, smart, and a big jokester. He has a good heart and has always been a defender of the underdog. Cara is a wonderful complement to Tim with her kind and loving heart, great work ethic, intelligence, and beauty—not to mention that gorgeous hair! They make a great team. We are thankful that family is a priority to both of them and that we get to be part of their life. We love them and their amazing children!"
STAN NELSON
Father of the Groom
Darlene -> Stan: Hard-working, Helpful, Morning Person “We are so blessed to have Tim as our son. We have such fond memories of watching him grow into the man he is today. It was so much fun watching him play basketball and baseball. We were so proud of him when he joined the Army. When he shipped off to Iraq, we had mixed feelings about his deployment. We were saddened by the explosion that severely injured his closest friend and killed two other friends. However, we are thankful for his life and recent engagement to Cara. Cara is such a giver. Watching Cara care for her two sons, and now our two grandchildren, has been a glimpse into what defines her life and big heart. We wish you the best.”
