Kallie & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Jared Belter
Best Man
Nick and I met in college as my resident advisor and quickly became friends after a random parkour accident in the dorms resulting in Nick injuring himself. I have many great memories with Nick ranging from airsoft to boardgames to fending off cougars at a hometown bar. I'll share more during my speech at the wedding… I love Nick and Kallie's sense of adventure and the outdoors, and expect that to carry into their wedding festivities.

I met Kallie in elementary school, but we really sealed the deal as besties in 6th grade. Kallie was also dubbed the "favorite daughter" by my patents. My favorite memory has to be our cross country road trip to Phoenix in 2008, where we doged tornados and I discovered that tumbleweeds were a real thing. My favorite thing about Kallie is her adventurous spirit. My least favorite thing is how she keeps moving across the country from me, but now she's back!!!

Nick and I first met when he was my counselor at Boy Scout camp. We reconnected 5 years ago when I got into Airsoft. We’ve shared a lot of experiences over the years such as playing airsoft on top of a mountain in New Mexico but some of my favorite memories are from our weekly trivia gatherings. I’m a very chill and laid back person. During the wedding I’ll just be hanging around making sure everything runs smoothly.

Kallie and I met in optometry school, our last names are close so we ended up in the same group and sat next to each other in class. We quickly formed a bond and have been close ever since. Nick came a little later and easily became apart of our little group. One of my favorite memories is the Dunkin’ Donuts cup walking down Main Street in Worcester (that’s all you get). I love that Kallie and I went to visit each other; We shared a magical day at Disneyland filled with Star Wars, beignets, and some Disney villains. When I visited Madison we went on a beautiful hike, ate lots of cheese, and played with the fur babies. Thank you for letting me be wife #2, aka the third wheel. I love how adventurous you both are as a couple and can’t wait to see where you go!

I’ve known Nick since I came into the world. 8 years apart. We we were forced to grow up together. When we were kids we played action figures together. I remember when he got older I had to start getting getting creative with my storylines to get him to play with me. But he still would. Im hoping for minimum Mumford and sons songs tonight. Jazz it up all you want.

We met in optometry school, the universe put us together at the same orientation table! Optometry school brought us together, but being snowed in studying for boards created a different kind of bond… maybe partly from shared studying trauma (haha) and oh goodness, our time in Texas was amazing! From what I remember…at least the parts where there was an always full wine glass, cheesecake and no one was trying to kill us! I love everything about Kallie! She is always there when you need someone to talk it out with, and she will always have your back and fix your computer while she’s at it! I can’t possibly list the ways Kallie has helped me, because there’s too many- she’s ride or die 😘 You can expect Kallie to be on the dance floor and being generally gorgeous! You can expect me to be on the dance floor and having the best time reuniting with my best friends!

I met Nick and Kallie in support of the veterans community. Some of my favorite times include getting beers and talking about the world. I am excited about the party and good time for all.

Nick and l met in college at UW-Platteville. We continued to connect through airsoft and as first responders. Some favorite memories include dog-sitting when Nick and Kallie first got Sabine, freezing our asses off at airsoft games when we decided to rough it, and the occasional game of who could talk w/ more women at the bar (I rarely-won).…You may see me on the dance floor showing off some random move l don't really know, or off in a corner reminiscing about the good ol' days.
