Wedding Party
Darby Goodyear
Bride
Nick Bier
Groom
Jordan Stahl
Maid of Honor
I had the pleasure of meeting Darby on bid day at the University of Alabama in the fall of 2017. There was a click and we became instant friends. Our first trip together was to Atlanta for the opening game of the 2017 Alabama football season where I met Mr. and Mrs. Goodyear. The Goodyear family was my home away from home while attending undergrad. Darby and I lived together for 3 years while in school, and continue our friendship while being states away now that I am in law school at the University of Oklahoma. I met Nick when he and Darby began dating. He always went out of his way to be the "boyfriend" of our apartment. He and Darby's love is an inspiration for me and I love them both dearly!
Wesley Hemer
Best Man
I was born in Phoenix, Arizona, and grew up in North Georgia. I moved to Cumming and met Nick at Chattahoochee Elementary School in the second half of third grade where we soon became the best of friends. We have maintained our friendship for 20 years now! After graduating from Forsyth Central High School Nick and I would choose different paths. Nick went off to Brevard College and I chose to serve our nation in the United States Air Force where. I married my beautiful high school sweetheart and love of my life Laura on June 24th, 2017 and we welcomed our beautiful boy Jude to the world on April 13th, 2022. I have now served honorably for over 9 years collecting an associate's degree in Human Resource Management and am currently on pace to graduate with my Bachelor's degree in Business Management in Fall of 2024. I am currently stationed at Robins Air Force base in Warner Robins, Georgia, and hope to separate from active duty in December of next year to provide a more stable life for my family.

I started at Alabama in the fall of 2018 and met Darby after I rushed Delta Gamma in August. When we met I knew I wanted her to be my big, and I was so lucky that she was! (Even though she made me wear a Nemo costume for big/little reveal) we’ve had so many good memories together like the SEC championship game, tailgating, her graduation & more. I just finished my master’s in sport management at Alabama and have a full time job with the athletic department as an academic advisor.

I’m from Atalanta Georgia , and I’ve known Nick and Wes since middle school. We went through high school together and still managed to see each other when me and Nick were in college and Wes was in the military. I currently work as a marketing consultant remotely for the Atlanta Area Council. I currently live in Knoxville, while I finish my graduate school program at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville… Hey Darby, GO VOLS!
Emily Waldron
Bridesmaid
I met Darby when she ran home to me on Bid Day at Delta Gamma in 2017. After becoming fast friends, she became my little later that year. Darby’s sense of humor, outgoing personality and kind heart made it easy to love her like a real sister. Watching Darby grow from a fun-loving freshman to a beautiful bride-to-be has been an honor. Darby, I can’t wait to stand by your side and celebrate both you and Nick. After graduating, I moved to Nashville to begin my career as a registered nurse. Currently I live in Washington, D.C. with my boyfriend, Jack. I love spending time with my family and friends, exploring the city, and of course, the Crimson Tide.

Groomsman
Growing up in a small town outside Buffalo, New York, I was a fairly wild child. I enjoyed scouring the woods and streams for various wildlife. This is where my love for wildlife and the outdoors would arise. This set a foundation that would lead me into a career as an environmental scientist. In my free time, you can find me at those same streams fly fishing for steelhead. My friends would describe me as easy going, personable, and a “good time Charlie” after a few beers. #GoBills
Jenna Broadus
Bridesmaid
I met Darby through a mutual friend at the University of Alabama in 2018. From the time I first met Darby, I knew she would be a lifelong friend. Her bubbly personality, “say it like it is” attitude, and supportive character are a few (of many) things that make Darby such a great friend. I met Nick at our annual 4th of July celebration in Orange Beach, and I couldn’t imagine a better match for Darby. Darby and Nick have become like family, and I cannot wait to watch them tie the knot. After graduating with a degree in metallurgical engineering and minor in mechanical engineering, I moved to south Alabama to work at my family’s naval engineering and manufacturing company. I’ve just purchased my first home and live with my boyfriend Evan and two cats, Nala and Oscar.

I’m from Ontario Canada, eh. I’m a dog dad to a Bouvier-Poodle named George. I love football Sunday’s. If I’m not working, I’m golfing. I met Nick 10 years ago at Brevard College where we played on the lacrosse team together; we’ve been friends ever since. Can’t wait to be back in ATL to celebrate!
Lauren Dingmann
Bridesmaid
I met Darby in the eighth grade when she moved to Milton, and she has been my best friend ever since. Even going to different colleges, we always made time for each other to stay connected and support each other over the years. I met Nick when he and Darby first started dating, and you could just tell that they were meant for each other. I am so honored to celebrate them starting their future together. I can’t imagine two people more suited for each other!

Hi I’m Mathew from Ontario, Canada. I met Nick freshman year at Brevard College playing for the men’s lacrosse team. I’m a proud cat uncle and amateur food critic. Looking forward to celebrating with the bride and groom.
McKenzie Findley
Bridesmaid
I met Darby on our first day at Element Fitness (the crossfit gym that became our home away from home in college) and after that we were inseparable. From workouts, to nights out, and weekend trips, we were together 24/7. Flash forward three years and I now live in Houston, TX and help lead a marketing team for a tax consulting firm. It’s not quite the same as our college days but when we do see each other it’s like we are back in our 13th street apartment. When I met Nick, he was not only Darby’s boyfriend, but quickly became a close friend. I couldn’t pick anyone better to be marrying our girl!

Bridesmaid
I grew up in Memphis and met Darby in Delta Gamma while attending the University of Alabama, where we were roommates for 3.5 years! After graduating in December 2021 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, I moved to Atlanta to work on the engineering team at the headquarters of WestRock, a paper and packaging company. I currently live in Brookhaven, GA with my 4.5 year old rescue dog, Winnie, and am working on my Masters online part time.
Ryan Taylor
Groomsman
Hey, I’m Ryan Taylor. I grew up in a small town north of Victoria British Columbia, Canada on Vancouver island. I met Nick during my freshman year of college and were close throughout the four years. I met Nick’s closest friends, Wes and Daniel, a few times during those years and we kicked it off great. Legolas took a wild card Canadian and helped him navigate his way through the south during his 4 year American bender. I currently work as a sales rep for Backcountry brewing, in Squamish BC, where I also currently live. I’ll get the pleasure of meeting Darby in the next coming months and she’ll get to experience the liability that is me.
