Wedding Party
Nina Tungseth
Maid of Honor
Nina is Adriana’s little sister and bestie! She is a constant encouragement in my faith, a wonderful listener, and keeps me grounded in truth. Her friendship has been one of the greatest blessings in my life! Nina is studying Civil Engineering at North Dakota State University and just got married in November of 2025 to Matthew, the love of her life. She pursues Jesus daily and builds community like no other. As the pastor said at her wedding, she could easily run a small nation with nothing but an iPad.
Matt Murphy-Sweet
Best Man
When Nico and Matt were 14 and 13 respectively, Matt made a Knex phone holder for his bike. I was impressed and decided that we would be friends. Ever since, we have been each other's constant friend and brother. From high school robotics, to going to college together, Matt helping me meet God, and then church planting togther, we have laughed, cried, and walked together through many seasons. Regardless of stage of life, Matt has been a steadfast friend to me.
Sierra Smith
Maid of Honor
Sierra and I made a commitment to be each other’s “lifelong accountability partners” when we were 9 years old. We have kept that commitment throughout the years, visiting each other several times a year when we’ve been long-distance until she moved to Idaho in July of 2025 to be with me full time! Sierra the most joyful person I have ever met and she has never stopped making me laugh. She is studying to be a marriage and family therapist and currently works as an art teacher and an airport bag handler.
Eric Garber
Groomsman
Eric entered the scene shortly after I started following Jesus. Eric was a pivotal friend and Godly influence in the most transformative year of my life. As like-minded friends, we built shelves together, played video games, and even stayed up until 3 am talking, laughing, and praying. Regardless of distance or happenings in each other's life, we have made time to see each other and make phone calls.
Alyssa Brinkman
Bridesmaid
Alyssa is my *older* cousin; she doesn’t let me forget that she’s got me by two months hehehehe. Alyssa is caring, generous, and a community-builder. Alyssa is a connector—her strengths include reaching out, thoughtfully remembering the little details about people, and problem-solving in creative ways. These are all things that make her amazing as a family member and also as a financial planner, which is what she does in Madison, Wisconsin! I am beyond thankful for her constant friendship, her willingness to share life deeply, and her love for the Lord!
Justin Estes
Groomsman
As a hard chapter of Nico's life was closing, a new friendship with Justin likewise symbolized a new chapter for me. As we relished in having many hobbies and interests together, Justin became a staple of my everyday. From playing disc golf, board games, to enjoying Formula 1 together, we sought to share in many things in common. Among these, most importantly, was our shared faith, where they continue to sharpen each other.
Priya Thomas
Bridesmaid
I saw Priya the first day of kindergarten and invited her to sit with me on the bus the second day of kindergarten. We’ve been best friends ever since! Priya is deeply compassionate, kind, caring, and honest. She has taught me how to listen well, how to be more transparent, and to laugh when things don’t go my way. Her faith in God is inspiring. She works at “the Fran” Children’s hospital in Boston and is applying to PA school!
Ben Courter
Groomsman
Ever the goofball, Ben has been a constant source of child-like joy and fun for in my life. Spending time with Ben has often signified unplugging after the workday into an evening in community. As the evenings with Ben were riddled with sarcasm, Lego-building, and laughter, so were there deep and vulnerable conversations about faith and the hardships of life. When I experienced the blessing of meeting Adriana, it was through Ben.
Kelly Camp
Bridesmaid
Kelly and I have been friends since 4th grade and just like her red hair, her personality brings so much vibrancy to my life! Kelly is always down for a heartfelt chat about theology, a good discussion about the American secondary education system, and an occasionally poorly-planned adventure. Her laugh is my favorite laugh in the world. Kelly is a teacher at heart—she shares everything she learns, yearns to invest deeply in people, and forms tightly-knit communities. I am so thankful for her commitment to our friendship and her spirited nature. She lives in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her husband Isaiah and works as a high school English teacher. She also coaches lacrosse!
Chris Amezcua
Groomsman
A steady and faithful friend to me since day 1, Chris embodies what it means to be there for people. When Chris moved to Boise from Texas, he did not know all the lives that he would deeply touch. In particular, in one short year, he made an impact on my life. Even though Chris is back in Texas now, there are fond memories of choco-flan, hiking adventures, and an making enchiladas for a group dinner over an hour late, to name a few.
Dana Defawe
Bridesmaid
I met Dana at Montana State University when I was lost in an elevator looking for my lab. Just like that day, she continues to point me in the right direction and holds fast to her values. Dana is deeply loyal, crazy, adventurous, and reminds me to slow down and be present. Her friendship has brought me so much life—she got me into triathlons, killing fish on backpacking trips, and cooking with cast iron. Dana lives in Seattle with her husband Thomas and will be starting PA school there this fall!
Ethan Kunze
Groomsman
Ethan and Nico were quickly able to connect over shared interests. When I went to meet Adriana's family in Minnesota, I did not expect to find both a fellow disc golfer and Lego fan. This only added to feeling at home with Adriana's family, and we are both looking forward to being brothers-in-law. More fascinating conversations about topics ranging from conspiracies to God are on the horizon!
