Nikki & Sam
The couple
Nikki and Sam, introduced by their mutual friend Matt, hit it off instantly. Despite Sam wearing a quirky visor wig during their first introduction, Nikki found it endearing. As their friendship blossomed, their friends hoped for something more. Following a memorable trip to Maine, they both realized their bond was meant to be deeper. They started their adventure together by living across various states and adopting their dog, Otter. Now, they're ready to say 'I do' and eagerly await celebrating with you. #GoBills
Emilia Hahn-Zollo
Maid of Honor
Emilia and Nikki, best friends since 3rd grade, are inseparable. Their bond is so strong that inviting one without the other is unthinkable. From walking home from school to enjoying The Sims and bonfires, marathon movie sessions on the red comfy couch and three-hour phone calls they've shared countless experiences. Through every twist and turn of life, they remain steadfast, proving they're truly best friends forever.
Matt Rockefeller
Best Man
Matt and Sam grew up five minutes apart from each other, but never connected until they met as Freshmen at Brockport. From road trips from Albany to Brockport, hanging at school and at home, it created a lot of moments that only could be summed up as "Broccoli". The two always have had and will have each others backs and know the other is just a phone call away (even if Sam has to call Matt twice to get his phone off do not disturb).
Kaelyn Dole
Bridesmaid
Nikki and Kaelyn, childhood neighbors on Ridge Rd, shared a bond that endured. From playing Barbies to navigating high school, working at the YMCA, and mastering the chaos of summer camp, they did it all side by side. Their adventures include cheering at Buffalo Bills football games and capturing a few Bramley Boys. The best part? They did it all together
Andrew Dole
Groomsman
On the first floor of MacVicar hall this friendship began to grow. Sam and Andy connected and Sam realized he had one important job in this friendship, to keep Andy hydrated. The two lived and worked together all throughout college and continue to have a strong bond today. Sam was the most excited to tell Dole when he got the job in Buffalo (and the reaction did not disappoint). The friendship has only continued to grow seeing each other almost weekly at Bills and Sabres games, softball and having each other over for dinners.
Tori Faccini
Bridesmaid
Tori is Nikki's ultimate hype woman. When they're together, laughter and good times are inevitable. Tori enthusiastically embraces matching outfits, delicious food, spontaneous dance parties, or cozy nights in with doggy snuggles. Their bond proves that the most profound friendships can form later in life.
Chris Aurilio
Groomsman
As Sam was searching for a roommate for Freshmen year at Brockport, Chris slid into his DMs and the two bonded quickly over a love for the Buffalo Bills. The two had an instant connection, both thinking Kelvin Sheppard was the next star LB for the team. Prior to moving in together, they met at Quaker Steak & Lube in Buffalo for their first date. Eleven years later the two still talk constantly about fantasy football, that Josh Allen is going to bring a championship to Buffalo and how the Sabres are "so back".
Lauren Burgasser
Bridesmaid
Lauren is the sister Nikki never knew she needed (and still questions sometimes haha). They bond over trashy reality TV, share funny TikToks, and tease each other relentlessly. Like true sisters, they clash, mock Sam, and find their own jokes way too hilarious. You know it’s going to be a good time when these two are together.
Corey Knuth
Groomsman
He goes by many names; Corey, C-Money or CJ Gnome. Corey is like a little brother to Sam whether it was helping him learn to drive or giving him his first bottle of "pink lemonade", Corey and Sam have continued to grow closer throughout the years and look forward to more memories in the future.
Zachary and Sadie Kleeberg
Ring Security and Bubble Girl
These adorable cousins will assist Nikki and Sam by supervising the rings and providing bubbles before the bride walks down the aisle. We can't wait to have them be a part of our special day!
