Melissa & Nicholas
wedding party
Elmo Madden
Best Man
Elmo and Nick lived together through their twenties, at what seems like a quick decade ago, Nick and Elmo have traveled together enjoying concerts, tourist attractions and your typical rundown at the local bars. Never a dull moment between the two together. You will typically see these bearded buddies floating down a river, mixing it up with crowds at concerts, or simply hanging out with other close friends. Although always having a good time, Elmo and Nick stay close in contact and respect one another like true blood brothers would. Distance is something that comes frequent with Elmo's career and whenever he is home, the two find a way to pick back up where they left off and continue on the wild journey of Nick and Elmo. No newspaper stands were hurt at any point of this friendship.
Evan Semlow
Groomsman
Evan Semlow, otherwise known with Nick as the "Bearded Brother", "Bearded Wonder" and on the slight occasions "Kevin". Evan and Nick immediately became close friends a handful of years ago and with having similar hobbies such as anything with a motor, fire, things that go over 5mph and of course cold refreshing pops, these two are merely inseparable. Typically running around together wearing similar outfits such as crocs, big lion like beards, old trucker caps and shirts with either the word horsepower or whiskey in them, they always have each others backs in any situation. Whenever together, you know the love and bond is strong between them, no emotion is with restriction. Evan stands beside Elmo, bearded and brave and in support of Melissa and Nick and their future endeavors.
Hilary Ross
Matron of Honor
You know the feeling when two souls just get each other? Enter Hilary & Melissa. They trail back to the days of early middle school. It was instant friendship, like a having a sister that you always wanted. From their awkward teen days to bachelors degrees and multiple bar tabs at Michigan State University, the two have been through it all. It's the kind of friendship where one doesn't have to say a word but the other knows exactly what the other is thinking. The kind of friendship that offers love on the hardest of days and a deep rooted understanding + support. The kind that makes you laugh so hard you cry. The kind you know will always, always be there for you no matter what. This is Hilary & Melissa. Side perks of the friendship? Their parents became best friends too.
