Nicholas & Rose

Wedding Party

Gabbie Cronkhite

Maid of Honor

Gabbie is a new friend that feels like an old friend. Rose moved into a house with total strangers 3 years ago and considers herself so lucky to come out with an incredibly meaningful friendship and now a Maid of Honor! Gabbie is a multiplier. A boring night at the house will turn into a wine and craft night, a weekend without plans will turn into a day trip to West Palm Beach, cleaning up around the house will turn into a complete overhaul of the living room and a trip to pick up a new couch. Rose cherishes how Gabbie pushes her to excellence, challenges her to grow in accomplishments and faith, and still makes her feel completely loved in the process. Gabbie always shows up for her people and Rose is lucky to have her as a friend.

Radyn Hall

Bridesmaid

Though they were buddies in kindergarten, Radyn and Rose became real friends as roommates throughout their time at UF. Rose feels privileged to have Radyn by her side during the most formative years of her life, trying out everything from surf club (we weren’t any good), to frat parties (fun but Natural Light kegs weren’t great), to country line dancing (we actually did love this a little too much). From roughing it in a field for a weekend at a country music festival, to piling 12 people in a boat for a day at the island, to staying up till 4AM watching Game of Thrones, Radyn has always brought so much fun into Rose’s life. Through every phase, Radyn has been steady, genuine, and a great friend.

Sydney Sinclair

Bridesmaid

Rose and Sydney knew each other in high school, but their real friendship began on the very first day of college. They bonded quickly over freshman dorm mold poisoning, the questionable dining hall food, and late night trips down to the POD. Sydney brought her adventurous spirit to the friendship, taking Rose on deep sea fishing adventures, Canadian ski trips, and near-death experiences in the Kia Soul. Sydney is one of the funniest people Rose has ever met, and is responsible for at least half the phrases in Rose’s comedic vocabulary. Beyond her humor, Sydney is incredibly driven, knowing exactly what she wants and going after it boldly. That confidence and clarity inspires Rose to pursue her own goals with the same motivation.

Alyssa Schmidt

Bridesmaid

As her cousin, Alyssa was Rose’s very first friend. From dressing up as princesses and throwing tea parties as kids, to tearing up a cotton field in the mini van as teens, Alyssa has that perfect mix of sweetie pie and adventurous spirit that has been so fun to grow up alongside. Alyssa is kind, compassionate, and caring (except for during our family’s Festivus “feats of strength” where she gets a little aggressive). Alyssa is deeply invested in the people she loves, always ready to listen and support. Rose considers herself lucky to have a lifelong friend like Alyssa.

Allie Crane

Bridesmaid

Allie is Nick’s sister, and from the very beginning she has welcomed Rose with warmth and ease. Rose looks forward to officially becoming her sister-in-law, but already feels included in Allie’s world. Allie is generous by nature, and has extended it to Rose in meaningful ways, from making sure she’s included in family events to inviting her along to exclusive previews of Epic Universe. Rose admires how Allie is adventurous and confident, frequently stepping out of her comfort zone to try new things and to find herself. She will make friends out of strangers and end up in a different city for a concert, decide to learn Korean and travel across the world, or somehow get the gig of captaining massive floats in the Universal parade. Watching Allie take bold steps so naturally inspires Rose to do the same.

Carter Lankes

Best Man

Although Carter and Nick attended the same high school, Carter was a few grades ahead, and they didn’t officially meet until college. They officially met when Nick jokingly posted his address online saying he was hanging out in his driveway, and Carter, without really knowing him, showed up simply for the fun and adventure of it. From the start, their friendship was built on creativity, ambition, and a shared drive to grow. Carter has been a huge influence on Nick’s creative side, constantly pushing him to think differently, explore new ideas, and keep learning. He has also played a major role in strengthening Nick’s faith, inviting him to Club Zion and ultimately leading him back to church, where Nick was baptized at the same church Carter first introduced him to. Carter is an incredible influence in Nick’s life and is always ready for a new adventure.

Jonny Carver

Groomsman

Jonny Carver is one of Nick’s oldest friends. They first became friends in middle school, bonding over paintball and the fact that they were two of the only kids under five feet tall. While Nick eventually gained some height and Jonny proudly stayed short, their friendship never wavered. In college, they lived together and became known for buying above-ground pools for their backyard, hosting big get togethers, and spending Saturdays watching college football with friends. Whether it was a casual backyard game, a last-minute idea, or turning an ordinary weekend into something memorable, Jonny was always right in the middle of it. Over the years, Jonny has become more than just a friend, he’s truly like a brother to Nick. At his core, Jonny is fiercely loyal, dependable, and a master of dealing with Nick's antics.

Ben Caimi

Groomsman

Nick was introduced to Ben Caimi in college by Carter, and from the start, Ben quickly became one of Nick’s closest friends. When Nick jokingly posted his address online saying he was hanging out in his driveway, Carter showed up, and brought Ben along, even though Ben had no idea who Nick was at the time. That moment perfectly captures who Ben is... always down for anything and ready to show up. Whether it was coming over to help level the ground for the many above ground pools Jonny and Nick decided to buy or jumping into whatever new idea was on the table, Ben never hesitated. He is someone Nick cares about deeply because he is consistently dependable and genuinely up for just about anything. Ben is incredibly selfless and has a way of finding the positives in any situation. He’s a steady voice of reason in Nick’s life, always ready with honest advice. No matter what, Nick knows he can count on him.

Chris Steinmetz

Groomsman

Nick met Chris Steinmetz in middle school Latin class, and they have been best friends ever since. Growing up, Jonny, Chris, and Nick were like the three musketeers, always sticking together no matter what stage of life they were in or what they had going on. From middle school memories to everything that followed, their bond has stayed strong. Chris is the kind of friend Nick knows he can go to with any problem, big or small, and he will be there without hesitation. He’s always down for anything, which makes life a lot more fun. Nick especially loves rallying him up, as he is the perfect complement to Nick’s sarcastic sense of humor.

Georgie Gonzalez

Groomsman

Georgie Gonzalez and Nick spent almost every day after school together in high school, either riding scooters at the skatepark or coming up with their next big business idea. What started as riding scooters together after school quickly turned into a friendship built on ambition, loyalty, and a lot of laughs. Georgie has always been a solid friend and a true rock in Nick’s life. He’s one of the most personable people you’ll ever meet and someone Nick consistently turns to for both business and personal advice. No matter the situation, he challenges Nick to think bigger, work harder, and become the best version of himself.
