Matron of Honor
We became friends at the end of high school, and sisters by the second year of college. We spent 8 months being roommates when she moved to Virginia and lived with my parents and me for a semester. I can't count how many crazy adventures we have gone on over the years, but I am so thankful to have her stand by my side as I start the next big adventure with the love of my life.
Maid of Honor
Shanda and I became best friends in Kindergartner. We were in the same class from Kindergarten to 3rd grade until she moved to a different school. I remember being so sad when she had to move school, but it never affected our friendship. We both made new friends at school but when we were able to get together it was like nothing had changed. Our friendship has survived living on opposite sides of the country to living in two different countries. I could not ask for a better friend to stand by my side as I say I do.
Bridesmaid
Monique is my big sister that I have always looked up to. Even though we were 4 1/2 years apart, she always let me hang out with her and her friends. I am thankful for her making the trip to be able to stand by my side on my special day.
Bridesmaid
I first met Nicona in October of 2015 when I first started working at Macy's, but became best friends the following year when we became roommates. I could not have asked for a better roommate to have during that time in my life. Honestly I don't know if I would have met Cole if it was not for her. She was the one that made me download Bumble and step out of my box and met new people. I am so greatful that she will be standing by my side on July 20th.
Bridesmaid
Ashley is Cole's sister. I have not known Ashley very long but I already look up to here and am amazed of what she has accomplished and look forward to seeing what she will do next. I am excited to gain another sister and have her stand by our sides as we start our new lives together.
Bridesmaid
I have only known Kay since March of 2017 when I started working at Macy's in Dulles, Virginia. I could not have asked for a better friend to go through those crazy times with...fourth quarter, deep dives. Even though we do not work together anymore, and live way to far away from each other; Kay is always someone that I can count on when I need someone to talk to. I could not be more excited to share this day with Kay standing by my side.
Junior Bridesmaid
Audrey is Cole's God daughter. She is a junior scientist who aspires to be a marine biologist. She plays soccer and is an excellent goalie. She's as sweet as she is smart, and we're looking forward to sharing our special day with her.
Flower Girl
Reegan is Nichole's 7 year old niece. A fun fact about Reegan is that she is the only red head of her family. Reegan is named after me; Reegan Nichole Botsford.
Flower Girl
Adria is Nichole's 3 years old niece. A fun fact about Adria is that she calls Cole the boy Cole because she calls me Cole. One of our favorite memories of Adria is when we all went to the Boise zoo. My mom, Cole and I had to ride in a different car. When my sister pulled out of the driveway Adria screamed "stop we forgot the Coles".
Flower Girl
Mac is a person all of her own, who serves as a perfect demonstration that people can really create their own personality. She's an entertaining handful and adds just the right amount of color to our wedding party.
Ring Bearer
Gavin is Nichole's 5 year old nephew. A fun fact about Gavin is that he calls the Ring Bearer "The Ring Boy".
Ring Bearer
Jude is Nichole's 1 1/2 year old nephew.
Mother of the Bride
There are no words to describe my mom. I call her at least once a day if not more. We might live on opposite sides of the country of each other, but she is always there to help me with anything. I could not have a better person by myside helping me plan Cole's and my special day.
Father of the Bride
At a young age I was my dad's little tomboy. I might have grown up, but I will always be my daddy's little girl. We have this running joke between us; that I was not allowed to get married until I was 36. Well 26 is going to have to do. I can't wait for my dad to walk me down the aisle and share my special day.
Best Man
I can honestly say I don't remember meeting Craig, he's just always been my friend. I've always thought of Craig as my brother by choice, which I have always thought speaks volumes. We might go through stretches where we might not talk much as we are both driven individual's in our personal lives, but nothing could happen where we would not be friends and more importantly family.
Groomsman
Kevin is my closest brother in age. We grew up together, sharing the same group of friends. When Kevin received orders to deploy to Iraq, I joined the Army the very next day. We even have matching tattoos.
Groomsman
Curtis is my cousin that is only a few months younger than me. We grew up together sharing several similar hobbies, and have always enjoyed plotting out our next adventure. Whether it was skateboarding, a camping trip, or climbing a mountain, the goal has always been to make the most of our time spent together.
Groomsman
I met Alex in the 8th grade. Alex credits me for teaching him how to skateboard even though Alex quickly became better at the sport. Whether it's fishing, working on cars, or just hanging out, we have always managed to make the best of a situation.
Groomsman
Zach is my brother-in-law, and graduated the same year as me from a neighboring high school. We shared many of the same friends throughout high school as well as many key Life experiences. We've seen each other at some of our best times as well as our worst, and it would not be a celebration without him.
Groomsman
I first met Anton at the CID Agent Academy where we learned we would both be going to Fort Sill for our first assignment. We were roommates for our two years at Sill which generates a friendship forged in fire, which anyone who's had the misfortune of spending anytime there understands. I then moved to Virginia, and after a few months Anton was also assigned to Virginia, where we became neighbors.
Mother of the Groom
My mom has always supported me through my life and career choices, even though I know i have chosen career paths that I don't believe any mother would want for their son given some of the inherent risks involved. My mom has always placed my happiness over these concerns, and I will always be grateful for that. She is someone that I can always rely on, and I can't express how happy I am that she is looking forward to this day almost as much as I am.
Father of the Groom
I've been lucky to always been so close to my dad. He has always believed in me, even at times when I did not believe in myself, and that extra support has helped me to achieve much of what I have today. I am very thankful to have him in my life.
Dog of Honor
Roscoe became my family when he was 4 months old. Roscoe was and is by baby. He always knows when I need extra cuddles and loves. Roscoe first met Cole when he was 2 years old. My favorite memory of Roscoe and Cole was the time Roscoe peed on Cole's shoe. We were dropping him off at doggy day care for the day. Roscoe peed so perfectly on Cole's laces that it went right through his laces and soaked his sock; not one drop went on the floor. That was the day that I knew Roscoe saw Cole has his dad.
Officiant
We are thrilled to have Nichole's brother-in-law be the one to help us start our next adventure together by marrying us.
