Wedding Party

Madelyn sewell

Maid of Honor

We bonded over pocket popes in the 5th grade and have been weird together ever since. Nicole and Paul often refer to Madelyn as their sister wife. They could not function as people without her, the majority of the time. She has been there for EVERYTHING! She was even present during the entire labor and delivery of Carter. She is the one we know we can always count on. And if anything ever happens to Paul, we'll go full golden girls and just live together forever.

Carter

Jr Best man

Our oldest son, and daddy’s best bud. He can moonwalk like MJ and will probably be doing so the majority of the night. If you need to be entertained for any period of time, find him, he'll keep you laughing and stimulated all night.

Darcy

Matron of Honor

Paul’s amazing sister. She is such a terrific mother, sister and aunt. We don't know what we'd do without her and are always so grateful for her.

Clint Mantz

Man of Honor

Clint and Paul have been best friends for 100 years. Paul wouldn't be Paul without Clint. If it weren't for Nicole, they may have just married each other.

Savannah Shults

Bridesmaid

Savannah is Nicole's sister and lifelong built in best friend. From sister snuggles, break ups, direction giving, and stealing each others clothes, we've been through it all. We may fight but we love each other more. We'll probably fight at least once on the day of the wedding. Then we'll get back to loving each other. She's an amazing aunt to Carter, Evvy and Judd. And yes it did take everything I had, to not use a photo of her sleeping with her mouth open, as her picture here. #sisterstuff

Brian Koenke

Groomsman

Brian is Paul's older brother. The other bearded guy. He is an amazing guy and always has his little brother's back. He may have beat up on Paul when they were kids, but we just call that "Character Building" . And he gave us our amazing Niece Scarlett

Brandy Hiltzman

Bridesmaid

She was named after the song brandy. She loves when ask her about it. Brandy and Nicole's friendship is a product of bathroom humor, and collective weirdness. They have gone through so much together, from travel, divorce, having babies, grief and loss, to Nicole periodically calling Brandy so she can use her bathroom when she is close to ark city, because Nicole is terrified of public restrooms.

Nick Wilson

Groomsman

Nick is Darcy's husband. He is an amazing dad and Physician's Assistant. So if you have a weird mole or a rash that you need looked at, make sure you go show him at the wedding. He is currently number one but it's only a matter of time before Nicole steals his status and he gets bumped to #2. In all seriousness, we are so thankful for all of the help he has offered Paul with planning and organizing during this process.

KT Denton

Bridesmaid

KT has been Nicole's friend for over 10 years. They met through a garbage person, but turned that garbage into compost and grew an amazing friendship garden. To know Katie is to love Katie. She is one of the best people on earth. And she gives an amazing haircut and shave....

Drew Shults

Groomsman

He's a great brother and I couldn't have gotten through life without him. From joking about savannah not getting anything for Christmas, to real heart to heart conversations and sometimes arguments. we know we always have each other when times get tough.

Kassie Murray

Bridesmaid

Kassie and I met through overly priced children's bamboo pajamas. If you think it sounds crazy, that's because it is. But all of the money spent on pajamas was worth it for her :) When the chips are down. Kassie's got you, she is loyal, kind, and that level headed friend everyone needs, the person that you definitely want in your corner. And when her son Riley marries Evvy in 20 years, we'll be family

Kelly Mantz

Groomsman

Kelly is not related to Clint. Weird right? Just kidding, they're brothers. So way to go Tina for making 2 of our favorite people. Kelly is an amazing friend and always keeps everyone laughing. Plus his knowledge of all things pinball machine related, is awesome.

Katie Warren

Bridesmaid

Another amazing side affect of expensive baby clothes. We've been through so much together. Some amazing and some tough. But Katie is the definition of someone living as christ does. She is kind, understanding, forgiving and just overall amazing. Not to mention, she's THE GOAT when it comes to motherhood. There is no limit to what I would do for her. Even if it means dressing as a pickle and making a fool of myself. She's worth it. Plus she's a great snuggler.

Jason Sybrant

Groomsman

Jason and Paul have been friends since 1905. He is a great dad, husband and friend. He is a Packers fan but we won't hold that against him.

Hannah Courtney

Bridesmaid

Hannah and Nicole have known each other since kindergarten. Hannah is an amazing person that is kind, accepting and brilliant. She is one of those amazing people that you can have real super deep conversations with and know she's truly listening. She makes me want to be a better person, because she's so awesome. She's stuck with me whether she likes it or not.

Mitchell Wright

Groomswoman

Mitch is Nicole and Paul's friend from Cowley. Mitch and Nicole bonded over their ability to drink beer from a glass boot in a shed in college. They were also in CC singers together, so Mitch was privy to all of Nicole's antics. He and Paul met in theatre at Cowley and we all hung out together. In fact, when he found out Nicole and Paul were dating, he threatened Nicole and told her not to break Paul's heart. Mitch is that friend that everyone needs, the one you can truly be yourself around, and make the jokes that aren't appropriate. And now he just really leveled up by marrying Anna, who is way cooler than he is. Our life wouldn't be the same without Mitch in it.

Katlin Emerson

Bridesmaid

Katlin and Nicole met in high school but didn't really become besties until later. She is the best dancer you've ever met and you should probably ask her to show you her skills. If you need a consultation on the best bath and body works candles, she got you. Katllin will forever be that friend that keeps me in check and helps reign me in when I need it. She just gives me "the look" and I know. I cannot imagine living on earth without my little Ninja. And she's the best wife, mom and nurse out there!

Daniel Woodall

Groomswoman

Daniel and Nicole met on an airplane in 2006 and have been friends ever since. He was the designated foot massager and nursery decorator during her pregnancy with Carter. He is one of those people that just knows everyone. I guarantee he will show up and know someone at the wedding that we didn't know he knew. He is also an amazing man of god. He will forever be one of our people. We're lucky to have him and his amazing wife Becky and their babies in our lives.

Ashley Knolla

Bridesmaid

Nicole and Ashley have been friends since 2009 when they met in the Theatre program at Cowley College. We have always been there for each other, even if it meant I had to threaten someone with bodily harm if they wouldn't leave her alone. AND I'D DO IT AGAIN. She is the most gorgeous, funny, and sweet person ever. She is also the only person that I have ever agreed to be a bridesmaid for. She is always an inspiration, except when she wakes up happy at 5 am. I will also never not be jealous of the amount of food she can consume without gaining weight. She's basically superhuman.

Joe Schones

Groomsman

Everleigh Koenke

Flower Girl

She's our middle child, and acts like it. She will probably say something strange, hurt your feelings, or melt your heart. We never know which or when. Also, "she knows" fashion so don't be surprised if she critiques your outfit.

Jacey Wilson

Flower Girl

Jacey is our niece and is one of the funniest kids you'll ever meat. She and Evvy will probably argue at least once but then be best friends the rest of the day.

Judd Koenke

Ring Bearer

Our Youngest child. He is so sweet but is also danger personified. There is a massive chance he will jump off something and get hurt at some point during the day. He will also melt your heart with his big baby blue eyes.
