Abbi & Nick
Wedding Party
Daniel Iten
Officiant
Danny has been a friend of Abbi’s since college and was her first official friend in Charlotte. Upon discovering that Abbi was moving, he jumped into action to connect her with recruiters for jobs, followed by introducing her to his group of friends (guess what guy was friends with Danny’s girlfriend?). Because of Danny and his, now, wife (Susie Iten), Nick and Abbi were brought together so often they realized that they might be able to tolerate each other for eternity. It only makes sense that the lucky person to officiate our wedding is Danny. As if it couldn’t get better, he also loves giving speeches and is already registered as an officiant. Keep an eye out in the future as he has plans to run for office... he’s got my vote.
Mandi Miller
Maid of Honor
Sister of the groom and one of Abbi’s favorite people. Mandi lives near Charlotte, and could always be relied upon to agree to a boat day or a chance to go to a brewery. She also has the most insane dog named Tucker who has an affinity for annoying people and has the best eyebrows.
Zach Miller
Best Man
Older brother to groom and a Pittsburgh native. Zach is definitely the best person to have on your drinking team, especially if the contest includes Crown Royal. Zach is currently planning his own wedding with his future bride, Colleen.
Paige Bosin
Bridesmaid
Paige is Abbi's confidant, always willing to go on a walk and tell Abbi that she is a "good trainer." Brunching, vacation and wine nights can lead to Party Paige making an epic appearance that lives up to all the expectations.
Steve Histand
Groomsman
Steve is one of the few who appreciates a good brewery crawl just as much as Nick and Abbi. He prefers his meals to be 90% meat (preferably in steak form) and 10% carbs. His hobbies include collecting objects that are related to pizza or outer space cats.
Alyssa Reinfeldt
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is a world traveler extraordinaire. Although she will tell you she is from New Jersey, she definitely more closely resembles a Cali girl. Always down for activities, even if it was the third wheel with the bride and groom (really Nick was the third wheel). This ray of sunshine brings positivity wherever she goes, followed by sarcastic comments said with the biggest smile. That’s why Abbi loves her.
Zach Venturella
Groomsman
Zach was the first friend Nick made after moving to Charlotte. The two met through work, Keyence, where it took no time for them to realize they were both born and raised in Pittsburgh. Zach currently lives in Texas. Well known fact, Zach will accept nearly any dare/bet.
Jessica Rodriguez
Bridesmaid
One of Abbi’s longest friendships is with her Mess, Jess. Their moms were coworkers, their high school boyfriends were best friends, so why wouldn’t they try out being college roommates? Long nights, ridiculous arguments, questionable amounts of vodka... they have been through it all. Now in Chicago, Jessica has been a huge help on teaching Abbi how to drink through being cold.... like all the time. Fun fact, Jessica’s life goal is to become a cat lady. Who knew?
Kevin Springer
Groomsman
One of Nick's oldest friends, this quick witted man teaches his ways to the younger generations in the great state of PA. He is always down for a road trip, watching Pittsburgh sports and going hunting. He once referred to himself as the "most single man in the world," and prefers to keep it that way.
Becky Somerville
Bridesmaid
One of the first girls Abbi met when setting roots in Charlotte, Becky did not hesitate to invite Abbi into the group, making her feel right at home. Wine and Sunday fundays are definitely her most favorite activities, followed by rallying on a Saturday for boat adventures and meeting everyone at 12am at Conns/the Local.
Steven Dehlin
Groomsman
Steven met Nick through work, then became Nick's customer after leaving the company. He recently bought a boat (Nick's haha), loves games and constant entertainment, and is the one friend Nick can count on to always go out to a bar with him.
Caroline Neble
Bridesmaid
Abbi and Caroline found each other late in their college careers, but were able to build their friendship over the years while living in Columbus, Boston and Charlotte. They both agree that OSU is the best university, that their dogs are the sweetest and most adorable in the world, and that all problems can disappear with a vodka gimlet.
Steve Removcik
Groomsman
Steve is 1/3 of the 416 Oakland Ave Apt. 6 crew. A roommate of Nick's for most of his time at Pitt. Currently, Steve is living out his dream to be a rodeo clown in Houston, Texas.
Morgan Chalcraft
Bridesmaid
This sweet, angelic beast of a mama moved into a disgusting apartment with Abbi and Jessica their Junior year. East 14th was a questionable house, but that house of 6 girls led to some of the best stories and even better friendships. Abbi and Morgan were bartenders at the same bar in Columbus and whenever they would get off work early, they would sprint to bars around Columbus so “we could have fun too.”
Luke Doney
Groomsman
Luke is 1/3 of the 416 Oakland Ave, Apt. 6 crew. Somehow Luke managed to become a Dr., despite his living arrangements. Luke still resides in Pittsburgh and maintains his "crazy Steeler fan" title according to Nick. Should probably refer to this guy only as "Rambo."
Spencer Richardson
Bridesmaid
Abbi’s “baby” twin cousin, Spencer explores the world out of a backpack and is currently living in Australia. Once back stateside from her adventures, Abbi will force Spencer to pick Charlotte or Asheville as her next home due to the multitude of beer options and because she enjoys nature for some reason.
Matt Shannon
Groomsman
Matt basically moved in with Nick, Steve and Luke during their time at Pitt. He currently lives in Columbus and is teaching at Ohio State (Go Bucks!). Loves playing volleyball. Fun fact: Matt's nickname to this day is "Old Man Jenkins."
