Best Man
Nick and Joe have been friends since the ripe old age of ... 6. Since then the friendship has encompassed many forms, including but not limited to: Little league teammates, classmates, videogame allies, students of guitar, competitive bowlers (the two are undefeated in Scotch Doubles), Videogame rivals, travel buddies and more. He is the Gamgee to Nick's Baggins and as such is the perfect person to help carry the ring on this special day.
Groomsman
John and Nick's friendship actually began as a rivalry as the two competed to see who could create the funnier film in their high school film club. Eventually the two became roommates (multiple times if you count their stint in Los Angeles) and it didn’t take long for them to realize they shared so much in common—including a love of movies, Zelda, and Street Fighter—that they were better off becoming lifelong friends.

Dylan is a titan, one could say a heavyweight, of cinematography. The two met in college where Dylan taught Nick the cinematography and the editing techniques needed to make it in the real world. He and his wife Mariah are incredible friends and mentors to Nick- the kind of people who not only fill up your creative cup but send it overflowing.

Picture Krista sitting at a bar when a bold stranger approached with deeply personal questions. That stranger was Ericka, already on a mission to see if Krista might be right for her friend. Honest, sincere, and fiercely loyal, Ericka has always had Nick’s best interests at heart. Nick doesn’t always follow her advice—and they rarely agree on much—but on one thing they’re completely united: Krista is the best thing that’s ever happened to him.

When so many people in Nick's life told him to turn his guitar down, Bryn not only encouraged him to play louder, but purchased a drum set. Such began the powerful rock duo group 'Bryn and the Big Irons'. Their forthcoming album is already getting rave reviews on the internet and includes songs such as "film isn't dead", "A dog named Murph" and "Our taste in music & food is pretty sophisticated."
Bridesmaid
Krista first met Tiffany when they were both starting their "big kid jobs" at Chase Bank nearly 10 years ago. What began as venting sessions over work quickly turned into early-morning adventures and countless memories together. From coworkers to friends to roommates, and now to being lifelong best friends full of inside jokes - Tiffany has been there through it all! From coworkers to friends to roommates—and now to a lifelong sisterhood full of inside jokes—Tiffany has been there through every chapter. Her kindness, her independence, and her fearless spirit (especially when it comes to hopping on a plane for her next adventure) continue to inspire Krista every single day. And of course… any story with Tiffany & Krista isn’t really complete without Sadie. Krista couldn’t imagine this special time without either of her beautiful, blond, besties by her side.
Bridesmaid
Sadie has been part of so many of the moments that shaped Krista’s favorite memories. What started as a friendship formed through working together (and plenty of shared laughter with Tiffany) became something deeper and has grown through the years. Sadie’s warmth, humor, and endless positivity have a way of making every space brighter. From big travel adventures to quiet nights in, she’s been there through every chapter, sharing in all the big life milestones right alongside Krista. Now, as Sadie and her incredible partner Chance celebrate their own engagement and will be celebrating their first week of marriage at Krista’s wedding, Krista can’t help but feel grateful for how beautifully their lives continue to overlap. They’ve been through so many major moments together, and sharing this one is the sweetest full-circle moment of all.
Bridesmaid
Moving to Tucson was a huge transition for Krista, but Jessica made her feel right at home from their first class together. Jessica is the kind of friend you feel so lucky to meet later in life. She's reliable, kind, grounded, and always ready with the perfect dose of perspective. Their friendship grew during walks home from class, countless study sessions, and more than a few venting breaks that got them through their Government Finance class. When Nick came into Krista’s life, Jessica was the very first person she told! Krista felt like it was a special kind of secret... since she and Nick were still coworkers at the time. Now, years later, their bond has grown to include fun family playdates, shared celebrations, and the kind of support that only lifelong friends give. Krista couldn’t imagine this day without Jessica by her side, just like she’s been since those early grad-school days.
Bridesmaid
Krista first met Alison while working as an intern at the same organization where she met Nick—some may say the best things to come out of that internship were these two… and they’d be right. Alison's kind heart and welcoming soul gave Krista the confidence to be open to new friendships and to invest in ones that helped her grow. Alison is the type of friend who, if you’re lucky enough to find her, you feel grateful for every day. She is kind, thoughtful, and always there to lift you up when you need it most. From wandering bookstores together to introducing Krista to the fiber arts, their time together always ends in laughter and memorable moments. Although Krista and Alison didn’t get to be part of many milestones together earlier in life (though they certainly would have if they had known each other then), they now get to share in each other’s weddings. Krista was there when Alison found her dress, and Alison was there when Krista finally agonized long enough to pick hers too. It’s another beautiful reminder of how lucky Krista is to have Alison in her life.
Bridesmaid
Krista met Odile through Nick, though she couldn’t say exactly when...because it felt like they had already been friends for a lifetime. From bike rides that turned into deep conversations, to coffee dates and video game trivia, to laughing endlessly about their “origin story,” this is one of those friendships that just makes sense. When they found themselves engaged at the same time, they got to walk through the wild and wonderful wedding-planning journey side by side—sharing ideas, color swatches, stress, excitement, and all the milestones along the way. This is a friendship for the ages, and one Krista is especially grateful to celebrate on her wedding day.
