Emma & Nickolas
Wedding Party
Abigail Highley
Maid of Honor
I have known this wonderful lady since the day I was born and we have been best friends ever since. From walking around in diapers, to walking down the aisle, she has been behind me every step of the way, Love you girl!
Derrick Loudermilk
Best Man
Derrick Loudermilk has always been the big brother I have never had. I remember always thinking to myself, "When I'm older and get married, I want to have him as my best man." and now that gets to become a reality. There is no doubt in my mind that he'll do an outstanding job. Love you bro.
Ashton Loeffler
Matron of Honor
Ashton is my best friend from high school and I could not have made it through high school without her. She is my other half and my twin. Sorry Adrianna! We don't get to see each other very often anymore, but we still talk and hang out when we can. I love you! P.S. They won't know that they're just the coverups ;)
Ryan Staats
Best Man
MEH! Is pretty much all I can say about our friendship. I first met Staatsy on a coaster trip with Emma and some of her work friends and we became close friends quickly when we realized that we had so much in common. I'm honored to have him be a part our Big Day. Ah. -Nickolas Oh Staatsy, where do I begin? I have known you since my first season at KI and oh how our friendship has changed since then. I am so happy that you and NIckolas hit it off so quickly and I am so glad that you are able to be in our wedding!-Emma
Jezreel Forand
Bridesmaid
This lady has been there for me ever since we became close. Sophomore year of high school? We couldn't stand each other. Junior year of high school? inseparable. Now? We both have busy lives, but that has never stopped us from catching up and having a good time. Thank you for being you! I love you!
Alec Reynolds
Groomsman
A friendship to last a lifetime that started at Kings Island. This guy has gotten me through so many hard times and always knows how to make me smile. He is not afraid to tell me the truth about a situation because he cares so deeply about me and anything he puts his mind towards. Thank you so much for being a part of our big day! -Emma
Malea Paul
Bridesmaid
You've been by my side my entire life so it seems fitting that you are beside me during my big day. We weren't always close, but we have been growing closer; and for that, I am very grateful. Thank you for putting up with me all of these years. I love you!
Caleb Paul
Groomsman
Emma and I are so thankful that you and Malea are able to be in our wedding and I am glad that we get along as we are gonna be... brother-in-law-in-laws?? Who knows, but thanks anyways bro.
Megan Halloran
Bridesmaid
What can I say? We've known each other for such a very long time and even though we may not get to physically be together often, we have never seemed to grow apart. We've been together through some weird phases in life, but we remained together and I am so glad we have! Love you!
Michael Trombley
Groomsman
Ever since my family and I started going to Four Winds, one of the first people that I connected with was Michael. Like Derek, I have always thought of his as an older brother also and it is an honor to be able to have him by my side on our Big Day.
Natalie Mackie
Bridesmaid
I have known this wonderful lady as long as I have known the groom! She is the one that told me when we were younger that he had a crush on me! She always has a smile on her face and always knows how to cheer someone up! Thank you for being an amazing friend, and now sister, to me and the wonderful sister that you are to Nickolas!
Lonnie Mackie
Groomsman
I've always been close to Lonnie growing up. He has always been known to be a goof and have a lot of fun at parties and/or weddings so I knew he would be a good pick for my groomsman. So glad you agreed to spend this day with us!
Michelle Houser
Bridesmaid
Oh Louis, where do I begin? From Garringer's to George's , to talent shows, notebooks and spelling bees, we've been together through all of the cringy parts of life and that calls for celebration. Love you!
Dalton Childress
Groomsman
One of my best buddies(and long llost twin) from Kings Island who became very close with Nickolas as well. Work wouldn't be the same without you! You always know how to brighten up a room with a smile and your bright personality! I am so happy that you get to be with us on our Big Day! Love you! -Emma I met Dalton through Emma and her work and we have spent quite a bit of time together since then. I am so glad that we were able to have him in the wedding! -Nickolas
Charlene Purkey
Mother of the Bride
This is my lovely mom. She has been there for me always. She is the definition of the perfect role model of a Godly woman. She is tough on me, but if you know me at all, I deserve it. But we always have a good time and we should probably never go shopping together alone. We will probably end up inside a crate full of watermelons trying to find the perfect one for dad. I love you Mom.
Eric Purkey
Father of the Bride
This wonderful man will be walking me down the aisle and I can't begin to say how much he has done for me. We don't always get along and we nearly almost always have something to argue about. However, he has gotten me to where I am today and I couldn't be more thankful. From walking me to the next putt, to walking me down the aisle. I love you Dad.
Vickie Mackie
Mother of the Groom
I have always been close to my mom and we have always had a strong relationship. I thank her for being loving, caring and supportive all throughout my life. It will be hard to leave but in the end, I won't be too far away. I love you, mom.
Roger Mackie, Jr.
Father of the Groom
My dad and I have had a good relationship. I can't thank God enough for blessing me with a dad like him. I thank him for teaching me how to be a good leader and I hope that I can live up to his teachings. I thank him for being supportive in everything I do and every decision that I make. Love you, dad.
Lydia Paul
Flower Girl
This is my beautiful and perfect niece, Lydia. She is absolutely adorable, a little rotten, but definitely a gift from God. She gave me someone to spoil and give sugar to and then send home with Malea. Thank you Malea for letting me borrow your daughter for my ceremony and thank you for raising such an amazing child.
Braxton Mackie
Ring Bearer
This little guy is Nickolas’ cousin and we thought he would just be the perfect fit to be our ring bearer! So excited that he was willing to do this for us!
Jody Mutter
Officiant
We thank God for blessing us with a strong man of God to give us guidance through our new life together. We have thoroughly enjoyed sitting under his leadership in church and are blessed to have him officiate our wedding we become one. Not only with each other, but also with each other built on God.
