Nicci & Corey
Wedding Party
Samantha Flansburg
Matron of Honor
Samantha MaryGrace, my "Yaya", my "sister-cousin". We have had a bond over the last 28 years that has truly proven to just grow stronger through the years. She is my go to girl, the one I can always count on to talk me down from a ledge, be my shoulder to cry on, or have one too many cocktails with (which we won't go any deeper into detail on). Life forced us to be cousin's, but I chose her as my best friend. Samantha works as a first grade teacher and is such a blessing to those kiddos!
Cassie Schomske
Bridesmaid
Cassie and I have had the closest bond since I was born a whole 28 years ago. From babysitting me (and being the only one I behaved for), to being my shoulder to cry on, and always down to have a good time with me. We have always been more than just cousin's, which brought upon the term "sister-cousin". We could not be more identical if we tried from our "blonde moments" to our clumsiness. She has shaped me into the person I am today, as she was and always will be my biggest role model. Being called "Aunt Kiki" by her three boys and the honor of Godmother to one have been some of the biggest blessings of my life. Cassie is a speech pathologist in Albion school district and she is amazing at what she does!
Jenny Monacelli
Bridesmaid
Jenny, my "Niffer" has had my heart from day one. Although this may seem repetitive she is another "sister-cousin" whose bond just simply cannot be described as my cousin. We have always been just more than that. From sleepovers, to dance videos, and many trips to Florida, there has never been a dull moment with my girl. We have always had each other's back and never once doubted one another. Jenny is currently in law school and after a long journey will be one hell of a lawyer, which makes me so proud!
Cecelia Egan "CeCe"
Bridesmaid
CeCe truly has had my heart since she was a little girl. We have always had a special bond that has only grown closer over the years. I remember getting so excited when my "out of town cousins" would visit. I have had the pleasure to watch her grow up into the beautiful, smart, sassy young lady she is today. I am so thankful life allowed us to not only grow as cousin's but as friends as well. Cece is currently pursuing her Spanish degree, and I can't wait to see where life takes her!
Samantha Green
Bridesmaid
My Sam, the unexpected friendship that turned into so much more, my “person”. Sam and I started out our journey on not the best of terms when a misunderstanding almost turned into a fight, which then grew into an amazing friendship. She has stood by my side since the day we decided to be friends and proven to me over and over that distance cannot break the bond we share. Not only am I thankful to have a best friend in her, but also two little best friends in her two beautiful little ones that call me "Aunt Nicci".
Abigail Maines
Bridesmaid
Abby came into my life within the past year as she dates my brother Gary. Instantly Abby became part of our family. Not only is she the sister I’ve always wanted, but one of my very best friends. Abby recently became an RN, and I am SO PROUD of her! I couldn’t imagine my day without her by my side.
Tyler Luckman
Best Man
Tyler and Corey have been best friends for over 15 years. Tyler has always been a role model to Corey, Serving in the United States Navy and is currently in the reserves as well as a volunteer firefighter.
Dylan Nicholson
Groomsman
Dylan “Bob”, is the older of Corey’s two younger brothers. With age has come a more special bond between the two. Corey is so proud of Bob, especially his academics as he soon will graduate from Alfred.
Richie Sargent
Groomsman
Richie is the oldest of Corey’s siblings, the one who (unfortunately) he is the most like. All jokes aside, Corey admires Richie the most for his hard work ethic and for being an amazing father to his niece and nephews.
Aaron Radka
Groomsman
Aaron is the younger of the older siblings. Aaron and Corey have always been very close and it’s been a blessing to watch him grow into the father that he is. Aaron has given us 3 handsome, fun loving nephews that we cherish so so much!
Gary Moore
Groomsman
Gary “bubs” “Bubby” is Nicci’s little brother and best friend since the day he was born. Gary quickly grew to be Corey’s brother and one of his closest friends as well. Gary is pursuing his RN, for which we couldn’t be more proud!
Ryan Arnold
Groomsman
Ryan and Corey have been best friends for over 13 years. Ryan is one of the most hardworking individuals, putting in hours at his 9-5 and Pudgies Farm market after hours.
Mason Nicholson
Junior Groomsman
Mason is the youngest of Coreys brothers. Mason is sweet, athletic, and a little too much like Corey at times. He continuously makes us proud with sports and academics!
Bentley Radka
Ring Bearer
Bentley is one of Corey’s (and soon to be Nicci’s) nephews, he is 8 years old and loves playing video games
Kyle Schomske
Ring Bearer
Kyle is Nicci’s Godson, a privilege very dear to her heart. Kyle is 5 years old and loves dinosaurs, snakes, and Minecraft!
Brynn Kosiorek
Flower Girl
Brynn is Corey’s cousin, and such an important (and spunky) part of our family!
