Chelsea & David
Wedding Party
Bianca Nagel
Maid of Honor
She’s my little sister, she’s a best friend, she’s a thief (she’s always stealing my clothes!), and she’s my maid of honor. Bianca has been there for everything! From playing with dolls when we were in diapers to getting in trouble at bars as adults. She visited while I was in Mankato at college, she visited when I was living in Minneapolis, she even made it out to Washington. We can sit around and watch tv for hours or go out and spend all day together. She drives me crazy, but I know she'll always be there for me! She's the best mom to my most favorite little human ever:)
Allison Waterbury
Bridesmaid
I met Allison in the 3rd grade, maybe? We spent many summers rollerblading to one another’s houses to help each other out with chores so we could go hang out at the pool all day. I even stole gold necklaces from my mom & gave them to her (sorry mom)! She visited me 3 or 4 times when I was living in Washington. She’s my longest friend, we’ve been through it all. Every time I'm home visiting, we at least have one slumber party and catch back up on all the nights we've missed living so far from each other.
Samantha Knothe
Bridesmaid
I met Samantha in 6th grade. We spent almost every day together our junior and senior year. And then made many many trips to see each other when we were attending different colleges. I took my first vacation without my parents with her too. We went to California and met all of her family. We got our first tattoos together on the beach too. She’s that friend that no matter where we are in life, if we haven’t spoke in 3 weeks, we pick up right where we left off! We used to make music videos when we were kids at her house all the time, we went to Valley Fair often, and we shared an obsession of Motion City Soundtrack.
Emily Van Den Hul
Bridesmaid
Emily & I met 4 years ago when we both started working at Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm not going to lie, I didn't like Emily at first. But that changed rather quickly! We both found out we were from the Midwest, she's from South Dakota. We have been through so much in the last 4 years! I feel like I've known Emily my entire life. We traveled the world, moved to San Diego (a very short move), got a dog (monster) together, just to name a few.
Nina Grebin
Bridesmaid
Nina & I met in Minnesota working at JJ’s Coffee Shop 6 years ago. We have done SO much together. From nightly shenanigans in Minnesota, to deciding we were going to make the move out to Washington, some more nightly shenanigans in Seattle, to travelling parts of Europe together, and making one incredible weekend trip for Nina’s birthday to Banff. Just to name a few. Nina has always been a true, dependable friend. I am so lucky to have met this weirdly, wonderful soul 6 years ago. I can't imagine this day without her up there with me.
Smellsey Tiland
Bridesmaid
I met Smellsey 4 years ago at Buffalo Wild Wings and it has honestly been the most terrifying and wonderful friendship I've ever had. The very first time her & I hung out outside of work was one for the books. I had too much to drink so she told me she would drive G & myself home. BUT! We woke up in Seattle! We both passed out in the back of her car and she drove us 2 hours south to Seattle. She realllllly wanted us to try her favorite breakfast spot. That is just one of the many crazy, fun things we've done. Our 4 legged friends are best friends & when I lived in Washington, we hiked & drank more often than not.
Brandt Hall
Best Man
Brandt and I have known each other for over 12 years. We have lots of memories together and have gone through a lot. He has always been supportive and always given me great advice. When we were teenagers we got into a lot of mischief together. It seems like we both turned out alright though as the years passed. He is part of my family and even calls my mom his mom. When we were younger we would be at the racetrack on Friday's and the street races on Saturday. We have always enjoyed the passion of loving cars and any type of modification you could do to it.
Jason Chen
Groomsman
Jason and I have known each other as long as I can remember. We went to the same schools growing up and lived right down the street from each other. We spent lots of time with each other and he also flew up to Washington state and drove back with me last October. It was an adventure with the car pretty much breaking down in every state that we went through, but we made it back to Florida in one piece. He has always been a part of my life and we have always had good times together.
Andrew Chen
Groomsman
I've known Andrew just as long as his brother Jason and have spent the same amount of time with him. When I first moved to Washington state Andrew came to visit me. He bought a one way ticket and never wanted to leave. He had so much fun up there and said he always wanted to go back. We have had lots of memories over the years and lots of adventures. We almost always spend our birthdays together because his birthday is the day after mine.
Cody Moran
Groomsman
I met Cody while working at The Loft in Bellingham Washington. Everyday I worked with Cody I would say "Hey how's it going?" and it stuck with me to this day. Every time we talk to each other it always starts with "Hey hows it going?" and this has gone on for years now. He is a stand up guy and he's always been a wonderful friend. He was there the night I proposed to Chelsea and I am very excited that he will be there the day we say I do.
Irah Eisenbacher
Junior Groomsman
Irah is my favorite tiny human and always brings a smile to my face. He calls me Stinky every time we Facetime with him or we see him. Actually on his birthday invite to us this year he put Mr. & Mrs. Stinky and laughed about it for hours. The first time I spent time with Irah was when I met Chelsea's family and we all went camping together. He was so cute and so much fun playing games together and going swimming. I can never get enough time with him and enjoy every second I get in his life. He is very smart and has a wonderful personality. Bianca and Irah came out to Washington to visit with us one time and we had so much fun. I turned our whole living room into a fort and he loved it.
Damon Nagel
Groomsman
Damon and I haven't known each other nearly as long as the other guys, but after the big day he'll be family. He and I met on that same camping trip that I met Irah. We spent the day at the state fair in Minnesota. Now, Chelsea has always told me how Damon was a race car driver when he was younger, so we decided to race go-karts at the fair. I kicked his butt, no big deal (thanks to Chelsea). I'm honored to have Damon standing up here with us and I'm excited to have him as a brother in law.
Reece Jewett
Usher
Reese and I also met working at The Loft in Bellingham. He was Cody's roommate and good friend so of course we got along immediately. He was there the day I proposed to Chelsea and hope that he is there for a lot more lifetime memories.
Zach Brooks
Usher
I met Zach on another trip back to Minnesota with Chelsea. We went to go check out all the breweries in Minneapolis. Him and Allison came and visited us in Bellingham last winter and we made it up to Mt. Baker to go snow boarding. Zach lived in Colorado for awhile and he clearly loved being up on the mountain. Every time we've visited Minnesota since, Zach and I have been able to spend some time together while the girls go out and do other things. We've played lots of video games and drank lots of beer.
Owen Brooks
Ring Bearer
Owen will only be 5 months on the big day, but we already love him so much! We can't wait to watch him grow up and spoil him as our own little nephew :)
Leslie Schultze
Attendant
Growing up my dad always told me to be more like my older cousin, Leslie. Little did he know we were more alike than anyone realized. Leslie just didn’t get caught as often 😬. I moved to San Diego for a short period of time and while I was living there, Leslie & I spent Thanksgiving together. We were all supposed to bring a dish, I immediately offered to bring my favorite, cornbread casserole. Leslie asked to make it since it’s all she knew how to make. This dish is my FAVORITE holiday dish. So I let her and I brought a pumpkin roll. Well, before dinner was ready my friend & I went to the store for a game (and more alcohol) & when we got back everyone had already started eating. I went to grab a heaping plate of cornbread casserole and IT WAS ALL GONE. Thanks Leslie 😒
Michelle Schultze
Attendant
Michelle and I are also cousins. Being only a grade apart, we played a lot of sports together! We went to state in basketball her senior year, my junior year and we shared a room together. We spent a lot of nights in high school climbing on the snow mounds they built in the mall parking lot and playing a very fun (and dangerous) game we called bumper ball! Every Nagel holiday we spend together, Michelle and I get picked up by the big uncles, usually Michelle's fault :)
Mya Schultze
Attendant
Mya is one of the younger cousins on the Nagel side. She's funny, she's smart, she's always helping with all the other younger cousins. We needed to find someone to keep the other attendants (especially her aunts) in line and on the right track and who better than Mya??
Hayden Craycraft
Attendant
We've only known Hayden for a short period of time but he's easily become one of our closest friends here in Florida.
