Nicole & Nick
The People Who Will Protect Our Sanity
Steph Jones
Maid of Honor
Nicole's Best Friend since 6th grade. We have spent many Friday nights watching Disney Movies together, plenty of Halloweens handing out candy, carving pumpkins and quoting Young Frankenstein together, and overall surviving high school together. Although we aren't constantly texting or talking on the phone, and we live 274 miles away from each other, she will always hold a special place in my heart as someone who has always been there for me
Dan McNeish
Best Man
Nick's older brother. It might be because of an apparent visual resemblance, but I've always looked up to my older brother. Years of being called twins, and even "Little Dan" probably instills that in someone. If you are looking for us, we are probably somewhere rambling on for hours hyping upcoming video games, recapping recent TV shows, or gushing over and analyzing a Hip-Hop album. As we have been doing for the past 20+ years
Danielle Prusik
Bridesmaid
Nicole's Best Friend since freshman year of college. Having her as a neighbor was fate. We both had roommates who were not the best or inclusive, and we found similarities in each other and found a friend for life. Remixing songs and belting out the lyrics in the car are some of our best memories, just ask Mr. Gallup. Danielle's constant out goingness can seem far from my personality, but she is one that has help me through some very tough times in college and has been my confidant.
Christian Morneau
Groomsman
Nick's Best Friend since First Grade, over 18 Years! The 'Lloyd Chistmas' to my 'Harry Dune'. You know we are an interesting pair when my phone number has been saved under "Yes Man" in Christian's phone for a long time. After knowing each other for almost two decades, a lot of adventures have been had, drinks drank, and enraging Mario Party games played (usually at Nathan's expense). We always bring out the best in each other... or the worst. Depends on how you look at it.
Ali Poutre
Bridesmaid
Also Nicole's Best Friend since freshman year of college. She just wandered into my room when the door was open (my attempt to be social with neighbors but not too social), and just started talking to me. Her infectious loud laugh can light up a room or wake the neighbors, but it is all good in the hood with her. She is always down to just relax and chill, or go on adventures into the great outdoors with me, she's a great buddy to enjoy nature with or just talk about life
Erik Gallup
Groomsman
Nicole's older brother. Once Nicole and I started dating, Nicole informed that she and Erik are a package deal. Thankfully, a friendship with Erik is a sarcasm-filled, sass-slinging delight. After our first meeting, when Nicole quite literally locked us in a room together until we were friends, I am proud to say I am now affectionately referred to as his little souffle (a title I wear with pride), and he my sass-master. After all, "when you date a Gallup, you date both of us".
Mark & Lisa Gallup
Parents of the Bride
Here comes the sappy, without these two I probably wouldn't be where I am today. They have provided me with a whole lot of love and support ( from phones calls about trying to discover what sickness I had, to moving me up to Maine and back, to giving me a bunch of free tools to help create projects and DIY stuff at the apartment). They have really been there for me and have welcomed Nick to the family with their loving (yet sassy) personalities. Thanks Mom and Dad.
Dan & Dottie McNeish
Parents of the Groom
I will also do the sappy too; Without you two I quite simply probably wouldn't be where I am now. From providing constant support and love through school, growing up, moving, and becoming an adult, I could never thank you enough for all you have done and continue to do for me, and with me. This day wouldn't be possible without you, and for that, and everything else, I am eternally grateful. I love you.
Nathan Kozach
Officiant
Nick's Best Friend since First Grade, over 18 Years! The first person Nick met when transferring schools as a young lad, and one of Nicole's closest friends at University Hall. With his rambling stories, sarcastic remarks, and dead-on impressions (ranging from Harvey Fierstein to an old man yelling about wooden nickels), it's hard not to be friends with Nathan. Which is how our two worlds collided, and we quite literally would not be here without him. So who better to bring us both full circle?
