Wedding Party
Joe
Best Man
Nick and I met about 20 years ago and bonded quickly over our shared interests in history and videogames. This bond continued to increase over the years through playing videogames for hours on end during snow days, making high-budget documentaries about the Mexican-American War, and throwing drunken parades for ourselves (only because our greatness is not yet recognized by others). The best part is how he's always down to clown, and that we never argue about what to do since there is only one thing to do. I expect Nick to give a master class on how to party at the wedding.
Sydney
Maid of Honor
Kristin and I met through our Specialist in Blood Bank program. We deemed ourselves study partners and after discovering many mutual interests and goals, it was apparent our short term study buddy had turned into a life long friend. Since we met in 2021, we have traveled to 13 states together, shared many blood bank case studies, witnessed heartache, situationships and true love, grown in faith, and survived hurricanes, blizzards, floods and even several “near-death” experiences! Kristin has been a loyal friend through it all, and I am so excited to stand beside her as she marries Nick!
Jon
Groomsman
I met Nick at NJ American Legion Boys State in 2014. We bonded over our shared love of politics and our ties to Burlington County. Some of my favorite memories are: nights around the bonfire discussing light topics such as philosophy, religion and politics. Outdoor rock climbing and open carrying adventures in Texas. We used to be co-workers (technically). I admire Nick’s sense of duty, his patriotism, his appreciation of faith, and the genuine care he has for his friends. On his wedding day, I expect a reverent ceremony and a wild reception.
Amanda
Bridesmaid
Kristin & I met on a solo trip we both took to Iceland in 2018. We realized we both lived in the tristate area & started hanging out after we got home. My favorite memory together is from 2024 when we ignored all the warning signs and hiked…or should I say rock climbed up Cathedral Rock in Arizona just to sit on top & meditate in the vortex air. Fun fact we both meditated/manifested to find our soul mates… now here we are celebrating Kristin finding her person in Nick! Kristin & Nick are always adventurous, fun, & sociable. I expect Kristin to be hitting the dance floor most of the night & dragging Nick with her.
Brett
Groomsman
Kristin and I met at the Jersey through a mutual friend. After we both suffered through separate, disastrous New Year’s Eves going into 2020, we spent the drive home venting on the phone and haven’t stopped talking almost every day since. Whether we're navigating Greece or Vegas, where she spontaneously decided to go skydiving at 7:00 AM after a night out, she is the best travel buddy and I consider her my sister. While I haven't known Nick for long, we clicked immediately over geopolitics and a shared love for a good time. I’m ready for the best wedding! Dancing, plenty of bourbon, and celebrating my bestie and her husband-to-be!
Alexa
Bridesmaid
I first met Nick pretty quickly after I was born, though I don’t have much recollection of the event. Since then, we’ve seen each other through so many phases and times in life. Weird hairstyles, educational steps, fashion choices (like Nick’s teen-era Hawaiian shirt phase that Kristin recently informed me he hasn’t totally put behind him…) It’s been so exciting watching him and Kristin grow as a couple, and I can’t wait to soon call her a sister!
Chris
Groomsman
I met nick in a late at night in a dark alley in one of the most dangerous cities in the country. My favorite memories include going to Puerto Rico with him where he encouraged me to pursue the woman who’d later become my wife. Throughout the years, my favorite personality trait of Nicks is his loyalty. No matter how far or difficult it becomes to maintain a relationship, he always has my back and is there for me.
Sam
Bridesmaid
Kristin and I have known each other since elementary school. Our friendship truly blossomed in high school though with hangouts during drill team and group sleepovers. Staying up gossiping until the wee hours of the night and scream singing while playing rock band will always be my favorite memories! Throughout our time growing up together, Kristin has been a constant in my life, and I’m so grateful to call her my friend. She is always there with a listening ear, and I will always return the favor in a heartbeat. Another quality that I love about Kristin is that she’s always up for an adventure, if it be a local trip to the beach, a concert (of basically any genre), or trip out of NJ. She takes the world on by storm unapologetically, and it’s inspiring to watch. I am so happy for Kristin and Nick, and I can’t wait to watch them take on this next adventure together!
