Hannah & Owen
Wedding Party
Caroline Nieman
Maid of Honor
This woman doesn't have a mean bone in her body. We met through our sorority but bonded in Geology class. We always joke around that if it wasn't for Jake Armour (Our Professor) we wouldn't be bffs! Caroline is the type of friend you can count on for words of advice and a shoulder to lean on. She keeps me calm and always listens to my weekly rants! Caroline is one of the kindest souls I have ever met. I know we'll be 85 years old and still snapchatting each other daily from our rocking chairs. I couldn't ask for a better maid of honor and support system. Caroline, get your tissues ready because I know you'll be crying just as much as me on my wedding day!
Nicole Roberts
Bridesmaid
We met through our sorority and became instant friends! Nicole and I are so much alike it's scary. She understands my "extra" personality. Nicole and I have shared endless laughs and good times together. She never fails to put other people first which is what I love about her. Nicole encourages me to be my best self and understands those nights where we both just want to stay in! I admire Nicole for her patience and willingness to teach the young minds of America. She is extremely driven to reach her goals of becoming the best educator she can be. If you're not sure which one she is at the wedding, listen for the southern belle accent and you'll be sure to find her!
Laiken Cleary
Bridesmaid
We shared bathrooms my Junior year of college in the Sorority House. I was so nervous about meeting her I would lock my door so she couldn't come in. After she forced me to talk to her we had an instant connection. She understands my weirdness and quirky jokes (because she's just as weird). We have even experienced an internship together. Laiken's spunky personality is sure to light up the dance floor on our wedding day! If you didn't know, Laiken is a total nerd. She's currently majoring in computer science so hit her up with all your tech needs! She's the youngest of the group, and is always keeping us on our toes. I hope she still keeps me young 20 years down the road.
Samantha Gearheart
Bridesmaid
Another Sorority Sister! I'm so grateful to have Sam in my life. I met Sam through Laiken. Sam is level-headed and always brings me and her friends back down to earth. Samantha and I also have experienced an internship together. She's always making sure others are okay before herself. My favorite memories with Sam will always be going to Food Truck Friday's and breweries after work. In a few years I see Sam being a total Boss. I know she has so much potential and I can't wait to see her become CEO of a major company one day. You can probably find Sam by the mac and cheese bar on our wedding day (and me too).
Emily Cecil
Bridesmaid
I was lucky enough to meet Emily through Owen! My favorite part about Emily is her fun-loving nature. She always finds a way to make everything fun. Emily and I have been planning a wedding at the same time, and it’s been so cool to share ideas and talk about all things wedding! I love our double-dates and trips to the pool, I wouldn't trade them for anything. Emily and I share the same love for makeup, shoes, and of course fashion. Ryan and Emily are getting married a few months before us....I'm so glad we get to embark on this journey together! Emily is also a talented Esthetician at a spa in Raleigh. We always find ways to see each other even if we live in different cities.
Michael Cuddy
Best Man
Mike and I met in our fourth grade class with Mr. Wilhelm. After a few goofy conversations, he invited me to his house where he schooled me in basketball. We spent many nights in our younger years staying up too late and playing too many video games. Although we weren't in the same city throughout college, we still found ways to visit one another when we could find time. He is now a police officer for Winston Salem and I couldn't be more proud of the man he has become.
Ryan Mahjoub
Groomsman
As I was getting adjusting to college life my freshman year, I met Ryan in English class which was in the basement of our engineering dorm (pretty cool right?) He was wearing a sweatshirt branded by a popular YouTuber that we both watched. We started a conversation and became friends from the start. From there he convinced me to join his fraternity when we were roommates Junior year. He was my Big and I had one of the best years of my life being his roommate and brother. He is now an Engineer for NCDOT and is getting married to Emily shortly before us.
Blake Estridge
Groomsman
I'll never forget Blake moving into the dorm across from me with nothing but a mini fridge and a small crate full of his belongings (I still think that's all he owns). I feel like I was placed in the wrong dorm because every single day of freshman year I found myself hanging out in his room with his roommates and we had a blast. We made some questionable decisions that year, but I wouldn't have traded it for anything. Later on we were in the same fraternity and became roommates for 2 years after college. Blake is also a Civil Engineer in the Charlotte area.
Tyler Rochelle
Groomsman
If there is anyone I would suspect to crash this wedding... Just kidding, Tyler (Repeat) is truly a man of great character. He is a Project Management Engineer in Greensboro and also volunteers his time to a local fire department. We were also in the same fraternity in college and as we made some wild memories in college, we continue to make wild memories after college. If anything, the memories are wilder now just in a classier setting. I know I give him a hard time often, but I truly look up to him and know he is on track to do some amazing things.
Chase Britt
Groomsman
I met Chase through Blake early in my college years. He always seemed (and still does) so cheerful and fun to be around. We were neighbors for my senior year of college where we really started to spend more time together. A lot of time was spent at the pool, Riverjam, Hot Shots, etc... We also went on a cruise together. That year was truly unforgettable. Now he still lives close by and we often hit the gym and South End area together. Chase is currently a GIS Technician in Charlotte and I am lucky to have him stand by my side.
Milo Tucker
Best Kitty
Milo wasn’t sure about Owen at first. But after a few head rubs and well deserved treats they became quick friends. Neither would admit it, but they enjoy each other’s company. Milo is sad he won’t be able to join us on our wedding day. He gets car sick. But we know he’ll be there with us in kitty spirit!
