Laurel & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Kristyne Wiegand
Matron of Honor
Laurel’s best friend and sister. Kristy lives in California with her husband, Micah. Laurel and Kristy have always been close growing up (minus those few years in HS, when it’s not cool to have your sibling as your BFF) sharing unforgettable memories like trying not to laugh at church... trying not to laugh at weddings... and getting the death stare from Dad. Or Kristy watching Laurel’s arm get rolled up in a car window and not helping. Or Laurel running into the side of a moving vehicle and Kristy never letting it go. Laurel looks up to Kristy more than anything and cannot wait to have her by her side (trying not to laugh) when she gets married.
Matt Mikich
Best Man
Nicks 2nd favorite brother behind Shabba (the family dog) But it was an easy decision for Matt to be the best man.
Halee Dressler
Bridesmaid
Halee and Laurel met in 2016 when Halee started dating her husband and Nicks groomsman, Heath! Naturally with Nick being best friends with Heath, they spent a lot of time together! They always have so much fun together, making every moment so memorable and meaningful. Halee and Heath were there when Laurel and Nick got engaged and she helped Nick plan out how he was going to do it. Halee has always been there to give Laurel advice when she needs it! Laurel looks up to Halee as she has watched her become an amazing wife to Heath and a wonderful mother to their son, Opie (pictured) so cute, right? 😍 Halee is going to make an amazing bridesmaid as she is the type of person to get stuff done and get it done the right way! She will help Laurel with whatever she needs with zero hesitation. 🤍
Heath Dressler
Groomsman
Nicks oldest friend and was always second to nick on the tetherball court in elementary school.
Christy Castro
Bridesmaid
Laurel and Christy met in 2017 through Nicks best friend and groomsman, Josue. Laurel very quickly grew to be a big fan of Christy with her adorable sense of humor, contagious laugh and her amazingly perfect long and beautiful hair. They started spending time without the guys and Laurel became a professional hair braider as she braided Christy’s hair every chance she got. Christy is a big support system to Laurel, always giving her the best advice. Even if it means telling Laurel she is in the wrong. That’s a friend worth keeping forever.
Josue Castro
Groomsman
The friend that’s always down for an adventure. If Nick is doing something illegal, Josh is probably there.
Heather Russo
Bridesmaid
Laurel and Heather met in 2017 when she started dating Nicks best friend and groomsman, Brandon. They instantly clicked and laugh so much when they are together! Most of the time they laugh at nothing which makes everything that much funnier. They laugh about laughing about laughing if that even makes sense (who cares, they will still laugh) Laurel had the honor of standing by Heather’s side in 10/2020 while she married the love of her life and couldn’t picture getting married without Heather *laughing* by her side.
Brandon Russo
Groomsman
Nicks second wife. Brandon and Nick have more phone time together than all high school girls in the United States combined.
Jessica Barr
Bridesmaid
Laurel and Jessica met in 2017 at work! They were trouble makers. Always laughing, goofing off and taking way too long on breaks as they would go to the grocery store and walk the aisles looking for snacks. They became very close, spending time with each other not only at work but outside of work as well. Jessica married her husband, Chris, in 2019 and Laurel had the honor of being a bridesmaid.
Tim Knox
Groomsman
Nicks newest friend thats always in for a good time. Tim is the ultimate “Yes” man and will make you laugh without even trying.
Charlotte Castro
Flower Girl
Daughter of Josue and Christy Castro. 💕 The cutest little girl with so much personality. She is always up to ONLY good because she can never do anything wrong.
Christopher al-Amawi
Ring Bearer
Christopher is the son of Rukhiya, Nick’s brother, Matt’s beautiful girlfriend. Christopher is a funny, smart and sweet kid that everyone in the family instantly loved the moment they met him. He is the ultimate secret keeper and is always down for some guy time, holding secret meetings that the girls aren’t invited to. One day, Laurel will be invited... one day.
