Maid of Honor
Nicole isn’t just Courtney’s sister; she’s her built-in best friend for life.

But in Nicole’s defense, everyone annoys her a little! She is a kind-hearted, deeply family-oriented person who loves her family with everything she has. Her no-nonsense attitude is matched only by her unwavering love and care for those she holds dear. Courtney feels incredibly lucky and beyond grateful to have Nicole by her side on this special day. She is so thankful for the bond they share and proud of the amazing woman Nicole is. Courtney can’t wait to create even more beautiful memories together. And yes, Nicole absolutely loves a good "Businesswomen’s" Lunch special.

Addie Prado
Bridesmaid
Addie is one of Courtney’s dearest and best friends—the voice of reason who often talks her off the ledge. Their almost-daily chats are filled with laughter, deep conversations, and solving the world's problems (or at least that week’s). Brilliant, charming, and endlessly supportive, there’s no one Courtney would rather have standing by her side as she enters this next chapter. She is beyond lucky to have such a special connection and a friend like Addie. When you see her, be sure to say "Hey Hottie"
Rusty Adkins
Groomsman
Rusty is not just a groomsman, but one of Steve’s closest friends. Their bond has been built on years of laughter, crazy banter, and unforgettable memories. Rusty has always been someone Steve can count on, and he’s incredibly honored to have him stand by his side as he takes this next step in life. And, of course, we can’t forget—Rusty is an absolute ASSHOLE!
Lori Statome
Bridesmaid
Lori is one of Courtney’s closest and dearest friends. Over the years, their friendship has been filled with fun memories, laughter, and unwavering support.

From Metallica concerts to countless libation-filled nights, Justin has always been there to share laughs, offer support, and celebrate life’s big moments.

Laramie Ringolsby
Bridesmaid
Laramie is Courtney’s longest and dearest friend—her partner-in-crime and the one who brings out her inner 13-year-old. No one makes her laugh harder, and no one feeds off her antics quite like Laramie does. But beyond the laughter and mischief, she has always been there, showing up through every high and low, proving that true friendship isn’t just about the fun—it’s about always being there when it matters most. And, as if that wasn’t enough, she’s also the reason Courtney met Steve… because, in classic Laramie fashion, she set up a dating profile as a prank. So really, on their wedding day, you might have her to thank—or blame! She’s also famous for her legendary fast-food order—one time she confidently ordered a Big Mac, hold the meat, add extra cheese—back in their vegetarian days, when she and Courtney were on a mission to save the cows, pigs, and chickens
Jameson Morgan (Jmo)
Groomsman
Jameson is the greatest joy in Courtney’s life and her biggest blessing. With his kind heart, infectious smile, and witty sense of humor, he lights up every room he enters. Wise beyond his years, he continues to amaze her every day. Watching him grow has been the greatest gift, and Courtney couldn’t be prouder to have him walk her down the aisle and stand with Steve on this special day. He’s not just her son—he’s her world, and she can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter with him.
Maddie Prado (Mad-Dawg)
Bridesmaid
Maddie, aka Mad Dawg, is not only Courtney’s junior bridesmaid but also the daughter of one of her best friends. Her infectious energy, bright smile, and kind heart light up every room she’s in. Maddie has been such a special part of Courtney’s life, and having her stand by her side on this important day is an absolute joy. Courtney is so proud to see Maddie growing into such an amazing young woman and couldn’t be happier to share this moment with her. And let’s not forget—she also has one hell of a skincare routine!
Remy Leiker-Lofstrom
Best Dog
Remy is the true boss of the house, and Courtney and Steve wouldn’t have it any other way! When Steve and Remy first met, Steve wasn’t exactly a fan of little dogs and even thought Remy was a guinea pig. But now, Remy has completely stolen his heart and is officially Steve’s best buddy and companion. This little guy is a cherished member of their family, and they’re thrilled to have him as their best dog on this special day. Like Rusty, Remy is an ASSHOLE!
Jeff McCann (Jay)
Officiant
Jay is Courtney’s brother-in-law and will have the important role of officiating their wedding. He is incredibly supportive, caring, and loves his family deeply.
