Phillip & Nicole
Wedding Party
Marilynn Minich
Maid of Honor
Marilynn is my older sister and naturally one of my best friends. While she is currently getting everything prepared for the arrival of her daughter Ellie (due in late July eeek!!), you can normally catch Marilynn lounging by the river or crafting a new project in her free time. She has helped in the planning of our couple's shower where she created the most beautiful balloon arch. Her attention to detail and love of crafts have been an asset in the planning of our special events. Marilynn is always there to answer my almost daily calls (sorry not sorry) about the highs and lows of wedding planning. Phil and I are so blessed to have you there to celebrate with us on the big day.
Chandler Airaghi
Bridesmaid
Chan and I met when she visited Jenna in college our freshman year, and through the years we have become closer and closer. She has become one of my very best friends and has always been there to celebrate me in my accomplishments and support me in my struggles. She has been a huge blessing in the process of planning our wedding. Her endless knowledge on anything and everything wedding has made her my go to gal during the last year and a half (I seriously don't know what I would do without her). Through the last few months she has helped to plan our big events like the couples shower and bachelorette trip, and we are very blessed to have her there on our big day.
Olivia Malzner
Bridesmaid
Liv is one of my oldest and most loyal friends. We met wayyyyy back when we both worked at the Jefferson City Applebees. I always smile when I think back to the fact that a last minute decision to grab drinks together in my little college town has led to a life long friendship. While we don't get to see each other as nearly as much as we would both like, we always pick up right where we left off. She has been a huge support to my mother in law as they both planned our couple's shower in Chicago.
Jenna Jovanovic
Bridesmaid
Jen and I have been friends since our freshman year of college, where we met while living on the same floor in the dorm rooms. Who would have known the decision to take a funny photo while I was dressed as a cat and she was a mouse on Halloween weekend would have sparked a lifelong friendship. Jen is one of the most caring and loyal people that I know, and she has been a huge support in the planning of our big day. She has helped Chan to plan an amazing bachelorette trip (only a month away eek). We are so blessed to have you there to support us on our big day!
Kayla Lenox
Bridesmaid
Kayla and I became best friends when I had the honor of becoming her big sister in our sorority in college. From early on we have always been close and bonded over both being in the ASL interpreting program at William Woods University. While she unfortunately had to transfer to another college in California, we always remained close. She is definitely one of my best friends and while we don't talk everyday I know she is always there to support me. It has been a blessing to have such a close friend that is also and ASL interpreter, because she can understand all of the highs and lows that come with the field! I am so excited to have you there to support me on the big day.
Drew Kulpinski
Best Man
Drew is my older brother and my best man. He has always been there for me ever since we were little. Growing up Drew and I would always be getting into trouble, playing video games, and sports with each other. Drew has always been a great brother and someone that makes Nicole feel a part of the family.
Matt Kulpinski
Groomsman
Matt is my younger Brother and a Groomsman. Matt and I were very close growing up and were always getting into trouble and playing soccer together. Matt has always been a great brother and has been someone that made Nicole feel apart of the family ever since we started dating.
Isaac Dodson
Groomsman
Isaac and I met in college at William Woods University. Both of us were involved in collegiate athletics and become friends while creating a new fraternity. Isaac and I also had passion for helping people and worked together in nursing homes and hospitals. Isaac has always been a dependable friend and I'm extremely happy to have him apart of our day.
Bishoi Khalil
Groomsman
Bishoi and I met in high school and played soccer together. While we weren't extremely close back then Bishoi and I have gotten very close in the past few years while in Podiatry school. He has been a great friend during these difficult years of school and I couldn't imagine not having him there on Nicole and my big day.
Jordan Ish
Groomsman
Jordan and I were introduced to each other by his wife Tessa in our my first year of Podiatry school. Jordan is an excellent fisherman and we both enjoy fly fishing together at local lakes and rivers. Jordan and his wife Tessa have been great friends with Nicole and I and it has always been fun getting competitive at game nights and enjoying new restaurants together.
