Wedding Party

Taylor Carlson

Maid of Honor

“ I met Magdalene in my freshman year of high school at my small group we both started attending. I sat on her foot on accident, which lead to a bonding conversation over both of our passions for dance. We have been best pals ever since. ❤️”

Justin Wheeler

Best Man/Father of the Groom

“We go back...like way back...to the beginning of his time.”

Praise Jorgenson

Bridesmaid

“How I met my sweet, little Mags: I was introduced to her by our youth leader, during Tuesday night Bible study, when we were 16 years old. From then on, my life has been filed with more chili than a human could possibly consume!”

Jared Ekstrom

Groomsman

“Hayden and I met when he joined our college house senior year. We bonded over many hours of Fortnite and hanging out in the living room.”

Elsa Meyer

Bridesmaid

“In Australia I gave Magdalene a note I thought was funny turns out she didn’t think so. Three weeks later we laughed about it and became inseparable for the months we were together. Love her dearly and can’t imagine not knowing her.”

Logan Wheeler

Groomsman

“How did I get to know Hayden? When you live with someone you get to know them VERY well. Brothers by birth, friends by choice.”

Katie Brown

Bridesmaid

“ I had known the Nichols family for many years, but it wasn’t until 2016, when Mags came home from YWAM, that we became fast friends. It was sort of automatic, no questions asked and no turning back, we both just knew. Although I will be honest, it probably had something to do with her cooking. 😉 Mags has been a steady and constant friend, the perfect gift I’ve needed these last few years.”

Zachary Monroe

Groomsman

“I met Hayden in the winter of 2018. My first memory of Hayden was him telling me (someone he barely knew), that he just got engaged! This mysterious 6th housemate quickly became part of our group, as well as the leading Fortnite player in the house.”

Salomé Nichols

Bridesmaid

“Made. Adopted. Boom. Sister.”

Malachi Nichols

Groomsman

“I walked downstairs and there was Hayden holding hands with my sister —EW COOTIES!”

Elise Nichols

Bridesmaid

“I met Mags through Elias, her brother and my (now) husband. We bonded over baking and cheesy movies. I couldn’t have asked for a better sister ❤️.”

Elias Nichols

Groomsman

“I met Hayden when...”

Line Nichols

Bridesmaid

“I met Magdalene when I started dating her eldest brother, and my now husband, Gabriel. After she ended up an accidental chaperone on one of our first dates, Mags and I became fast friends and bonded over our mutual love for curry, crusty bread and Jesus. I love that out of all my sisters I know I can always count on Mags to whip up something delicious and soul comforting when I didn’t even know I needed it!”

Gabriel Nichols

Groomsman

“...my sister brought him home.”

Ezra Nichols

Flower Girl

“Magdalene came to get me with my dad and Gabriel when I was adopted from Africa. I don’t remember a day without her—actually maybe I do!”

Karsten Nichols

Ring Bearer
