Wedding Party

Bethany Nicholaides

Maid of Honor

Introducing you to my beautiful sister, who has the honor of being my Maid of Honor. She is steadfast in every stage of life, hardworking beyond measure, and one of the most genuine lovers of people I’ve ever known. Her life is a reflection of grace, service, and a deep devotion to God. I couldn’t imagine anyone else standing beside me on this special day—she’s not only my sister but also one of my greatest role models and dearest friends.

Jaymi Lozano

Bridesmaid

Jaymi is my partner-in-crime from our days in Cambodia. We were quite the duo back then, full of dreams and late-night conversations. She’s was an incredible story teller and could keep us asking "What happens next?" for hours. Today, she is not only a wife to a great guy but also a beautiful mommy. Jaymi’s heart for others and her loyalty as a friend have always made her someone I treasure deeply. I’m so happy she’s here for this chapter too.

Carlie Alvarez

Bridesmaid

Carlie is my longest-standing friend—the one who’s known me since before I could even spell “friendship.” We were dubbed the “Silly Dilly Girls” by our moms, and let’s just say—we earned that name and still do. Even though miles and years sometimes came between us—me in Cambodia and her in Tennesse, every time we saw each other, it was like no time had passed. Carlie is quiet, honest, and wonderfully loyal, and I’m so grateful that through all the years and changes, we’re still walking through life together.

Diana Roberts

Bridesmaid

Diana is not only my bridesmaid, but my incredible close-in-age twin and forever friend. From childhood till today, she’s had a gift for bringing people joy, whether through her cooking or her laugh. She may be a little shy, but her gentle (not so gentle) kindness speaks volumes. I’m so blessed to have her in my life and honored that she’s part of this day. Diana has inspired me with her grace, strength, and love. Shy, sweet, and sneakily hilarious—I wouldn’t trade her for anything.

Charity Adiko

Bridesmaid

Charity—my bridesmaid and soon-to-be sister-in-law! She’s sweet, thoughtful, and always ready to lend a helping hand. From the moment we connected, she made me feel welcomed and supported, and I’m really excited to get to know her more, and grateful she’s standing with me on this special day.

Keneth Olak

Best Man

This is my brother Keneth—my best man and my built-in teammate for life. He’s always been around to keep things real, keep things moving, and occasionally remind me who the older brother is. Glad to have him standing next to me

Jayson Hutchison

Groomsman

Victor Were

Groomsman

Victor is a man whom I’ve come to value as a confidant and a friend. He’s the kind of person who listens first, speaks with purpose, and always brings insight that sticks with you. He’s observant, thoughtful, and has a quiet kind of kindness that makes people feel seen and heard. I’m grateful for his friendship and I'm proud to have him standing with me.

Tony Fuentes

Groomsman

Enoch Nicholaides

Groomsman

Enoch is the bride’s brother—and now my brother too. The guy’s got a serious love for the outdoors. If it involves trees, trails, or anything that gets your boots dirty, he’s all in. He keeps things lively, keeps us laughing, and even when he’s pushing buttons, you can’t help but like him. I’m glad he’s here.

Samari Maya

Flower Girl

Xander Joy

Bible Boy

Xander is the bride's youngest cousin, full of energy and excitement! He brings a spark of life to whatever he does! He loves working hard and playing hard with his older cousins, especially swimming! We are very blessed to have him here today!

Jonathan Nicholaides

Father of the Bride

My Daddy, if there’s one thing he is famous for, it’s his puns—sharp, clever, and just cheesy enough to keep us all laughing. But even more than his humor, it’s his strength and love that have shaped my life. He taught me what it means to be cherished as a child of God and showed me the safety that comes from a father’s arms—both earthly and heavenly. I’m proud to call him my dad, and grateful that he got to walk me through life and that he walk me down the aisle.

Veronica Nicholaides

Mother of the Bride

This is my mother—the one without whom I quite literally wouldn’t be here today. She has poured into me her patience, kindness, love, and unwavering prayer. Through her example, she placed on my heart the desire to serve others and devote my life to God. Thank you, Mommy, for being the best mother any girl could ask for.

Florence Akech

Mother of the Groom

My mother, who has made so much of my life possible. She worked hard, sacrificed daily, and always found a way to provide for us. She’s the reason I had the chance to pursue my education and become the man I am today. Her strength, love, and determination shaped me. I owe her more than words can say.

Hannah Nicholaides
