Wedding Party
Shelby Nikolaides
Matron of Honor
Shelby has been a role model for Kira since Shelby and Kira’s brother, Eric, started dating. Kira looked up to Shelby during her teenage and young adult years, and continues to do so now that they are sisters-in-law! Kira was lucky to live in the same area as Shelby during law school and is grateful for all the time they spent together playing board games, hanging out with Zoe, and going out to bars and restaurants in the Bay Area.
Richard McClintock
Best Man
Matt and Richard have known each other since tee-ball in Shelburne and became friends in high school on the cross-country team. They later graduated UVM together with the same major. Richard is a fierce competitor on the basketball court and is a thoughtful and caring friend who will always ask the important questions in life.
Sasha Strzeskowski
Bridesmaid
Sasha has been an amazing friend and sister-in-law for Kira as she transitioned to her life in Colorado. Kira and Sasha share a lot of hobbies like skiing, climbing, and baking, and they both are also very crafty people (Sasha even helped with altering Kira's wedding dress!). Kira is grateful to have a funny, kind, and adventurous sister-in-law so close to her and is excited to have Sasha by her side at her wedding!
Elizabeth O’Donnell
Bridesmaid
Matt has always followed in his older sister's footsteps, like playing in the orchestra in high school and spending two years together at UVM. Matt always enjoys his time with Elizabeth spent together skiing, going to basketball games, and playing board games with family. Elizabeth has a unique sense of humor but always knows how to have the important conversations. Matt is grateful to have an older sister who is driven, supportive, and a wonderful role model.
Erin O'Donnell
Bridesmaid
Matt and his younger sister, Erin, have been thick as thieves since they were little, even competing together in multiple intramural sports at UVM. Erin brings an adventurous spirit wherever she goes and inspires Matt to seek fun and try new things. Erin always puts her siblings first and Matt is grateful for a sister who is not only close in age but his closest confidante.
Eric Nikolaides
Groomsman
Growing up, Kira always wanted to be like Eric - and now they are both lawyers! Eric and Kira didn't get to spend a lot of time together as kids because of their age difference, but as they both got older, they started to have more in common. When Eric and Kira were in law school together, it was the first time Kira got to be in school with one of her brothers, and it was so much fun. Even though they're not in the same city anymore, Eric is always a text away to talk about music, public transit memes, and lawyer gossip.
Andrew Remsik
Groomsman
Andrew became a wonderful addition to the family when he married Matt's older sister, Elizabeth in the fall of 2025. He is an avid golfer and Packers fan and will beat you in euchre, canasta, or any other game you might challenge him at. Andrew is a thoughtful, kind, and caring brother-in-law who understands the importance of family, and Matt is grateful to have his support as a groomsman!
Kevin Nikolaides
Groomsman
Kevin has always pushed Kira to have "type two fun" and now they get to do it together in Colorado! Kevin helped Kira get better and skiing when they both lived in Vermont, and now Kevin has been helping Kira get better at climbing in Colorado. Kevin and Kira have come a long way from the Pokemon battles and Food Network sleepovers they had when they were kids.
Colman Hogan
Officiant
Kira and Matt met Colman during their last year of college when they joined the school's gaming club. Colman is such a bright and kind person who always brings warm energy to the room. He is someone who can always cheer you up or make your laugh, and Kira and Matt are so happy to have him be a part of their wedding.
