Nikki & Andrew
Wedding Party
Sarah Rouse
Mrs. of Honor
My unofficial sister. Sarah has truly been the greatest mentor, friend, sister, supporter, etc. She's my person (other than Andrew, of course). From showering on the back of boats when we were little, to dancing together at her wedding, to loving on her kids - we've truly been through it all. SO thankful for this relationship, God gave me a good one.
Courtney Crowther
Bridesmaid
Oh how I love my sweet Courtney - the life of the party! We are so similar and once upon a time we liked to pretend like we were the Spice Girls with some of our other cousins. I'm so thankful for the bond that we've formed. We have fun, talk about the real things, and love all things family. She's one of the most special humans and I'm thankful to have her part of this day!
Nicole Janzen
Bridesmaid
The first day Nicole and I met we ended up hanging out for 7 hours just talking and probably enjoying chai bombs from Common Grounds at Biola. We eventually became roommates for a few years and though we moved apart, our friendship didn't change. We've been through a lot together, big and small, but forever thankful for our weird friendship. Xoxo, Dan.
Olivia Plew
Bridesmaid
The MK to my A - Liv. We met back in college when we had journalism classes together and formed a fast friendship. I've taken full advantage of visiting her in Lake Chelan and got to celebrate her wedding in Greece. I'm forever thankful she embraces me for who I am - aka the least athletic human - and celebrates it with me!
Ali Gardiner
Bridesmaid
Ali and I go way back to the awkward junior high days. We have so many memories together from getting ready for dances and fun little trips to community college- our friendship is an old one! We may not get to see each other very often, but when we do it's like no time has passed. Al- I need to get back out to Idaho soon!
David Ottestad
Bridesman
David and I met once upon a time when we were youth group leaders in 2009 and became instant friends! David has been such a sounding board for me and his relationship with his wife Monique is one we truly admire! His passion for music and life have led him to do so many things in excellence and I'm thankful to have such a special human in my life!
Clay Caissie
Best Man
Clay and I met the summer before my senior year of college. He was touring as a guitar tech, and the artist he was with played a festival that was hosted on Huntington's campus. I was a volunteer that day, and told him that he had my dream job. He took me under his wing and brought me out as an intern after I graduated. He's not only been a mentor, but a best friend. He is an incredible story teller, and has never met a stranger. He even talked me up to Nikki before he knew she and I had met! I couldn't be more honored to have him stand with me as my best man!
Greg Lee
Groomsman
Greg and I originally met through a mutual friend when I was trying to find a place to live in Nashville. The day we met up to grab coffee, he had seen my name on paperwork that day and found out we were working the same tour in a few weeks! I moved in after that tour, and we were roommates for 5 years. Greg has been a sounding board and steady voice of reason for me. Nikki and I love spending time with he and his wife, Becky, and are so thankful for their friendship!
Jared Green
Groomsman
Jared and I have lived a lot of life together, both on tour and now as roommates! He encourages me to step out of my comfort zone, and we have an endless supply of inside jokes. One of my favorite things about Jared is that we can sit and enjoy a coffee or cold beverage while discussing something serious, ridiculous or just enjoy the silence. Ferda!
Christian Arnold
Groomsman
Arney and I originally met in 2016 while working a Christmas tour! He is one of the hardest workers and most loyal people I've ever met. He is also incredibly creative, and I feel like I always learn something new when we spend time together. Nikki was introduced to Arney via him sending her a voice memo from my phone, quoting New Girl: "Hey girl! What yo name is? What that thang do?" and they became instant friends before they even met in person. Arney also makes the best smash burger you'll ever have!
Trevor Martens
Groomsman
Trevor and I were in the same freshman orientation group when we arrived at Huntington University, and discovered that we lived on the same dorm floor. We were roommates for the better part of our time at HU, and share a lot of great memories! I don't make it up to visit as often as I would like, but I love the fact that we always pick up right where we left off!
Mike Marcario
Groomsman
Mike and I met on a tour together back in 2015 before I moved to Nashville. He is one of the most joyful and positive people that I've met! One of my favorite things is getting to watch Mike teach- Whether that be through his involvement in the Touring Career Workshop or showing us the ropes to wakeboard and wake surf on the lake. We're also excited to walk through this season of life with he and his fiancé, Brie!
Ashley Malloy
Groomswoman
Ashley and I met when I was born! I have had the incredible advantage in life of being her little brother. She is a steady example of compassion, courage, and kindness. She's been there through it all making sure to make fun of me (including the emo hair days where she joked that I was actually her little sister), but also coaching me every step of the way!
Kyle Burnside
Officiant
Five or so years ago, I told Kyle he could officiate my wedding day. Now that it's finally here, I couldn't be more thrilled to have him standing up there with us! His relationship with his wife McKinsay is such a perfect example of the marriage we want to have and we love them so dearly! Kyle also mows a mean lawn. #themowyouknow
Braden & Easton Rouse
Ring Bearers
My unofficial nephews! We love these dudes so much and are so honored to have them part of our day! They make us laugh, say the cutest things, and really know how to get down on the dance floor!
Hadley
Flower Girl
Our sweet Hadley girl! It was a no brainer that we had to have our fur child make an appearance down the aisle! We're so thankful to have my unofficial brother-in-law escort her down the aisle!
