Wedding Party
Megan Richardson
Maid of Honor
Megan is the maid of honor as well as Chelsea‘s only sister. Megan and Chelsea weren’t always best friends but today they are inseparable despite living 1500 miles away from one another.
Michael Richardson
Bridesman
Michael is the bridesman as well as Chelsea‘s only brother. Despite a 10 year age difference Michael and Chelsea are peas in a pod. We look forward to having Michael stand with us on our special day.
Billy Mejia
Best Man
Billy and Kyle were randomly assigned to be roommates at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. After realizing a shared admiration for velociraptors, Good Housekeeping, and John Stamos the two realized they had much in common. For years, the two were exclusively seen playing FIFA, watching Will Ferrel movies, and solving humanity's greatest problems through debate. Today Billy lives in Kansas City with Alex, his wife, and Lincoln, his newborn.
Daniel Homan
Groomsman
Though Dan and Kyle became friends in fifth grade, it wasn't until high school that they truly became great friends. The two were selected to help manage the school district’s computer infrastructure. At the same time, they found themselves at the top of the marching band’s trumpet hierarchy. They were definitely very popular and not nerdy at all. Dan and Kyle lived together for much of college. Today, Dan lives in Detroit with his wife Isabel.
Jesse Aprile
Officiant
Jesse and Chelsea met in 2010 when they both attended Marist College. Through the years Jesse has been a constant adventure companion, east coast party host, and dear friend to both Chelsea and Kyle. We are thrilled that he agreed to be our officiant.
Katie Nieland
Flower Child
Katie, Kyle, and Chelsea all met when they were placed on the same frisbee team in 2013. Katie is one of our best friends in the world and graciously agreed to be one of three full grown women that serves in the role of flower child in our wedding ceremony.
Tiara Shelley
Flower Child
Tiara is our longtime close friend and dance instructor. She is an adored source of constant support, love, and laughter in our lives. We are so thankful she is serving as another of our flower children.
Sheila Schrader
Flower Child
Sheila is another close friend of ours. She was the captain of the original frisbee team where Kyle and Chelsea first met. She is always there to guide us and teach us how to adult. Our group of adult flower children could never be complete without her.
