Wedding Party
Abrianna McCarthy
Maid of Honor
Abrianna met Danielle in 2010. They had recently started working together; Danielle was right out of high school, and Abrianna…was not. Over the years, through many laughs, late nights, life changes, obstacles and victories, they evolved from cordial co-workers to the best of friends. Now, Abrianna can’t imagine life without Danielle and the incredible gift of her friendship, and she feels grateful and elated to be her maid of honor and stand by her side as she marries the love of her life, Nate.
Jake Carriveau
Best Man
Jake is Nate’s older brother and frequent companion in outdoor adventures. The experiences they have shared growing up from 50 mile backpacking excursions, to getting dumped out of rafts in whitewater, have formed a resilient bond between the two. Jake is excited to be a part of starting the next chapter in Nate's and Danielle’s life.
Amanda True
Bridesmaid
I met Danielle in 2010 working at A Caring Hand. She was by far the youngest member at the office and my husband affectionately coined her nickname "Little Danielle" which has stuck in our household to this day. When I met her, she was the helper in the back of the office and now we share an office together. I look forward to our weekly Tuesday work days which are usually less than productive and full of laughter. Over the years, she has become my go-to person for sharing life- from sharing gardening pictures of our peonies to crying about life situations. She is always willing to listen. We have shared many milestones together along the journey and I am beyond honored to be a part of this monumental step as Danielle and Nate vow to spend the rest of their lives together.
Aaron Morgan
Groomsman
Nate and I met in 2006, cooking at Readean's restaurant. Both of us were new to the culinary scene and quickly found out we had a lot in common, resulting in a long-lasting friendship. Outside of work, you'll usually find us on some type of outdoor adventure, weather it be paddling class 4 white water or hiking up Mount Borah - the adventures never end. I couldn't have asked for a better a kayaking partner/brother to have my back.
Cami Stone
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Cami met in Elementary School, 1st grade to be exact. They have grown up in the same small town together and have shared so many amazing memories. From sleepovers to middle school dances, to even first loves and heartbreak, they have been through it all. Danielle stood by Cami’s side as she married in 2020 and Cami cannot wait to watch Danielle marry her soulmate, Nathan, this year. Cami and her husband, Jeremy, have become very close with the couple and they often enjoy dinner and game nights together. Cami admires Danielle’s honesty, her quick wit and ability to make anyone laugh. Not to mention her baking skills! Keep an eye out for this dynamic duo on the dance floor the night of the wedding!
Jordan Bryant
Groomsman
Nate and Jordan met moving Danielle’s and his grandparents out of a rental property. Jordan immediately liked Nate for being such a helpful and courageous chap. Courageous in that Jordan fought with his grandparents the entire time and Nate was very polite, it was a few years later Nate began to understand. Nate and Jordan also hiked the tallest peak in Idaho and have enjoyed countless times together in the short amount of time they have known each other. Jordan loves Nate, but isn’t too into death metal; but is very into patio chilling and not being 30 yet.
Danielle Bridges
Bridesmaid
Danielle and I have always shared a love of many things including sports, friends, outdoors, drinks and even a name! We grew up together and became almost inseparable after high school. If you found one Danielle, it was almost guaranteed you would find the other. One of our favorite things was and still is sitting listening to music and talking about everything under the sun! Another thing we have in common (besides our names!), is always tearing up the dance floor! We have spent many dances together and the night of the wedding won't be any different. Danielle is always fun and upbeat and I can’t wait to watch her marry the love of her life and then celebrate the night away with the truly beautiful couple!
Eric Vance
Groomsman
Nate and Eric met in 2015 while working in culinary arts at Crane Creek Country Club in Boise, Idaho. As a then-novice, Nate took Eric under his wing with his natural abilities to lead and teach. Eric recalls the first thing he ever said to Nate: "Hey big fella, how's the weather up there?". They found humor wasn't the only thing they had in common, and soon were making river runs, playing fantasy football, and exchanging new swear words on the golf course. In 2019 Nate married Eric and his wife Hailey, and was quickly welcomed into the family. Whether it's enjoying Christmas dinner, carving the slopes at Bogus Basin, or just roasting one another, their bond and support for one another is always apparent.
