Alex Erlandson
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Alex is one of Nick's best friends. Early bonding moments for Nick & Alex were cantaloupe, cribbage, & carefully roasting Kevin. Although they don't get to see each other much anymore, it's always an event when they do.
Josephine Nelson
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride Josephine met Anissah in 2013 at a speech meet, & they hit it off so well that Josephine called her mom & asked if she could spend the night at Anissah's house. The night was filled with demonic laughter & bonding that would set the pace for their friendship. Josephine was at annual training when Anissah called & asked if she'd be a bridesmaid, to which Josephine loudly squealed "Yes!"
Nate Hart
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Nick & Nate are hometown wrestling teammates who have remained friends afterward. Even though Big Nate seems to drink the least, he always ends up the most drunk, but that hasn't stopped them from having a good time. Nate is also the boyfriend of a bridesmaid (Mikaela)!
Mikaela Niemi
Bridesmaid

Kevin Tierney
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom Kevin is one of Nick's best friends. Nick & Kevin became fast friends when Kevin moved to Henning, & since then, they have been each other's best (worst) influences. Whether it's boots of beer, or playing blackjack together, it's always a good time.

Andrew Young
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom One-half of Nick & Anissah's down-the-block neighbors in Fargo. Nick & Andrew have shared many silly times together, including, but not limited to: pushing Andrew around in a shopping cart at 2 a.m., waking friends up with airhorns, & many, *many* other silly times. Nick & Andrew will always have each other's back when needed.

Abby Knapp (Bagel)
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride & Groom Bagel met Anissah through Nick. Bagel's first encounter with Anissah was when Anissah was microwaving pickles! Whether they're tossing steel-tipped darts at each other's feet or simply just being in the same room, there are always belly laughs to be had.
Jared Scholten
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom The other half of Nick & Anissah's down-the-block neighbors in Fargo.

Friend of the Groom Yet another hometown friend of Nick's but also a brother of Kevin (also groomsman). Nick & Connor have shared many fun nights together, some they remember, some they do not. Together, they specialize at giving Kevin a hard time anytime the three of them are together (don't expect any different when they are together on official wedding business).

Hayden Hart

Friend of the Groom Nick & Hayden are also hometown friends & is also a brother to Nate (groomsman). Hayden is a Ravens fan so his opinion doesn't really matter (can you guess who wrote this?), however still, his friendship is important to Nick.
