Wedding Party
Rachel Oxley
Maid of Honor
As sisters, Rachel and Kellan have shared nearly every chapter of life together. There is no bond quite like the one between sisters, and theirs has been a constant source of strength, laughter, and love. Though Rachel is the younger of the two, she has always looked up to her in countless ways. Rachel has been her rock, her confidante, and her lifelong friend. From growing up to growing old, Kellan considers herself incredibly lucky to call Rachel her sister. Kellan and Nick are deeply grateful to have her standing beside them on such a meaningful day.
Luke Lonnemann
Best Man
Luke is Nick’s younger brother, and together they’ve experienced every chapter of life - side by side. From childhood memories to their time living in different cities while Luke was away at college, their relationship has always remained close. Eventually settling back in the same area, they’ve continued to share life’s milestones together. Nick is so grateful to have Luke standing beside him on one of the most meaningful days of his life.
Danielle Steward
Bridesmaid
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Danielle is the true embodiment of what it means to be a 'Cincinnati-an.' She and Kellan met during their college years at Wright State University, where - long before they actually connected - mutual friends often said they were “the same person.” After college, they found themselves living in the same city once again and quickly formed a bond that has remained inseparable. They not only share many interests but also a deep passion for real estate. Kellan and Nick admire so many things about her and are honored to have such a cherished friend standing by their side on their special day.
Jake Oxley
Groomsman
Kellan considers herself incredibly lucky to have a younger brother like Jake. He is intelligent, witty, charismatic, and compassionate - possessing a list of admirable qualities too long to name. Jake has always marched to the beat of his own drum, and those who know him admire him deeply for it. He is fiercely loyal and unwavering in his support for the people he loves. Kellan and Nick are beyond grateful for the light he brings into their lives and couldn’t imagine this day without him by their side.
Srija Thandavam
Bridesmaid
Srija first entered Kellan and Nick’s lives through a mutual friend years ago, and she quickly became someone they couldn’t imagine life without. She is one of the most genuine and down-to-earth people Kellan has ever met—patient, kind, caring, and truly without a mean bone in her body. Recently, Srija and her husband welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Luther Laird, and Kellan and Nick are overjoyed to take on the honorary titles of “aunt and uncle.” They are so excited to celebrate this special day with her and to watch her continue to grow into the incredible mother she is becoming.
Jonathan Nelson
Groomsman
Jonathan and Nick have grown incredibly close over the years. Introduced through mutual friends, they quickly bonded over shared values, humor, and interests—and have felt like brothers ever since. Over time, that friendship became something even deeper when Jonathan began dating Kellan’s sister, Rachel. Now, he truly feels like family. From holidays to everyday moments, he’s become a constant presence in both Nick and Kellan’s lives. On Wednesdays, you can almost always find Jonathan and Nick dominating at trivia night—a weekly tradition that showcases their shared competitive spirit (and impressive memory). Kellan and Nick are so grateful to have him standing by their side on their wedding day.
Anna Jenks
Bridesmaid
Anna and Kellan have known each other their entire lives. In earlier years, Kellan often babysat Anna, spending time together watching movies, going on boat rides, and—more often than not—laughing (or groaning) at Uncle David and Aunt Lora’s famously corny jokes. If they could survive those, they knew they could handle anything - even wedding planning. In more recent years, their bond has grown even closer, and what was once a cousin relationship now feels more like sisterhood. Kellan and Nick are so happy to have Anna standing beside them on this special day.
Don Laird
Groomsman
Don and Nick’s friendship spans many years and countless memories. Over time, Nick has had the privilege of witnessing Don grow through some of life’s most meaningful milestones - from getting engaged, to getting married, and most recently, becoming a father. Watching Don step into each new chapter with grace, humor, and heart has been nothing short of an honor. Nick and Kellan are so happy to have him standing by their side as they celebrate this next step in their own journey.
Macaira Mullen
Bridesmaid
Kellan and Macaira first met years ago on a bachelorette trip and instantly clicked. Since then, their friendship has been full of spontaneity, laughter, and unforgettable moments. Despite the distance between them, they’ve maintained a close and meaningful connection, always finding time to reunite whenever possible. Some of Kellan’s favorite memories - and best inside jokes - are shared with Macaira, especially during their unplanned and effortlessly fun hangouts. Kellan and Nick are so grateful to have her as part of their celebration.
Jacob Blank
Groomsman
Jacob and Nick first met nearly 25 years ago in Kindergarten. Over the years, they’ve shared countless memories, inside jokes, trips, and life experiences. Jacob is Nick’s longest friend—someone who has been alongside him from childhood. As they step into this new chapter, Nick is honored to have Jacob by his side to celebrate a lifetime of friendship and the beginning of this next journey.
