Melissa & Nick
Wedding Party
Mindee Polson
Matron of Honor
This girl is my ride or die. She knows me in and out and we actually met through other friends and starting hanging out post college. We found our way to each other through the love of planning and going out. She knows me better than anyone else, and has enough blackmail on me to last a lifetime! She is one of the sweetest people I know and always there for me as a friend!
Marissa Vogelsang
Bridesmaid
We were friends before we were even a thought in our parents' minds. Our dads have been best friends since the 80's so naturally we found our way to each other one sarcastic comment after another. From MO State to Nashville concerts to endless Cards games, couldn't imagine my wedding without this one!
Allison Wrozier
Bridesmaid
Allison and I have known each other since we were 15! We worked together at Rich and Charlie's and quickly hit it off with our no nonsense attitude. You hurt my friend, I hurt you, and vice versa! She is always there and will tell it how it is and will drop anything for a friend!
Kristie Manning
Bridesmaid
We found each other through the worst job on the planet- AT&T retention call center. We were complete polar opposites yet so much the same. Our managers thought we were twins and would constantly go to the wrong desk when one of us needed help. She is one of the most selfless people I know and is always thinking of others. Not to mention, she is hilarious! This picture of us perfectly describes our relationship.
Jen Supranowich
Bridesmaid
We met at what we thought was one of the best places to work for, while having the best boss ever. However bosses come and go and sometime you get stuck with the WORST boss EVER! Luckily we had each other’s backs. You ever hate going to work? Well, she made it worth it. We have can vent to each other about anything without judgment.
Heidi Jones
Bridesmaid
The second I met Nick’s sister Heidi, I knew I inherited a sister. Especially since I finally found someone else to help gang up on him! She gave me my first Godson, Dominic. I couldn't have this day without her!
Art Koch
Best Man
Anyone that can survive living with Nick goes to the top of my list, add in that they are an amazing person, you get the Best Man! You can always count on Art, he is always there for us whether it is something around the house, helping us move when it is 115 degrees, or when we set him up on the worst blind date ever and he still wants to be friends with us!
Michael Prehm
Groomsman
Where do I begin with these two? They are brothers and they call each other multiple times a day and talk about the most random things whether it is something that needs to be fixed around the house, to the latest BBQ pit that they are obsessed with. I love watching their relationship and what the day of “fix-it” topic is.
Kevin Kaczerowski
Groomsman
These two have been friends for over 15 years, they call each other almost every day on a different issue around the house or on someone's car that they are working on. I've never seen a better definition of a "bromance". No matter what the other one is needing, they will drop everything for the other. Couldn't imagine Kaz not in the wedding party!
Kevin Keim
Groomsman
Keim has always had Nick’s back, and continues to be a great friend! He is the person that will just drop by to catch up and not need anything in return.
Joey Dormuth
Groomsman
Joey and Nick have known each other for 17 years! Tenure of friendship is definitely something that is a trend with Nick and his friends. He is always down for anything when it comes to helping and loves Gus as much as we do! Couldn’t imagine this day without him.
Leo Polson
Groomsman
Usually when you acquire friends through your other half, especially when your soon to be wife references that person as her “Pseudo Hubs”, things can be weird. I can see why Leo is so important to Melissa and we hit it off the moment we hung out. I’m so glad he and Mindee are apart of our day!
Matt MacDonald
Groomsman
Matt is pretty much Melissa’s twin from both a looks and personality perspective. I couldn’t ask for a better brother in law!
John Wienke
Officiant
Weinke and my brother have been friends since Freshman year of High School. He was apart of my family the minute my brother started bringing him around. The minute I found out he was ordained, and a direct quote from Weinke himself, "If I want my ceremony to be good, then I need him." was all I needed to confirm he was the person for the job.
Patrick MacDonald
Usher
Where do I even begin with Patrick? I used to babysit him when he was an infant and I have seen him grow - literally and figuratively in which I used to be the "tall" one in the family, until Patrick hit middle school and decided to one-up me by growing to 6'7. I literally have to look up to him to even speak to him! From endless Cards games together to all of our El Nopal Dates, it wouldn't seem right without having him apart of our day!
Jack MacDonald
Usher
Same situation as Patrick with the entire height and babysitting situation. I'm not quite sure what sure their parents fed them growing up but they are both the tallest people in the family. Jack is one of those really smart kids that doesn't have to study, it's really quite unfair. He has explored more countries than anyone in the family, and when we have our El Nopal dates, claims he has drank about 20 more margaritas than anyone else at the table, even if we only had 2. Him and Patrick will be making the perfect duo for Ushers and I can't wait!
Sienna Vogelsang
Flower Girl
This little girl entered the world 9 months ago and will be 1 1/2 when it is time to go down the aisle. The is one of the happiest babies I know. Marissa swore she was going to put her in Flower Girl boot camp to ensure, she was aisle ready! I love this little nugget!
Dominic Jones
Ring Bearer
How could I get married without including Nick and I's Godson? It just wouldn't be possible. Especially because most of the time he loves me more than Nick and it drives Nick insane. I can't wait to see him walk down the aisle!
