Bride

Andrew Gagnon

Groom

Abbey Crane

Maid of Honor

It's no secret that she is my best friend.We have watched each other grow and change into the young women we are today, and I couldn't be PROUDER of the woman she is.I knew from the moment I met her that she was someone I would want to be friends with for all of my life.Her confidence and belief in herself inspires me everyday, and there have been so many times that her strength and wisdom have helped me through some of my darkest days.She has always been one of the people I believe were divinely placed in my life to teach me the importance of loving who i am, believing in myself, that women are STRONG as hell and can achieve whatever they want in life.I wont say she is my missing half because I can't steal Andrew's thunder but we compliment each other really well.She's the icing to my favorite cake

Emily Terrell

Maid of Honor

"Nicole is my oldest friend.She's always been the type of friend to push me to be my best and step out of my comfort zone. She's been there through some of the best and worst times of my life. I couldn't have asked for a better friend to be there for me. We've known each other since the 5th grade and even with being so far away from each other we manage to stay as close as we have always been!"

Hannah Jensen

Bridesmaid

Nicole has been my partner in crime(no literal crimes)for as long as i remember. She has been a shoulder to cry on, been by my side during some horrible times, and has also been there for some of my best times. I'll never forget playing outside until we were called inside for the night, the carefree highschool parties, celebrating all our birthdays together, and most importantly her being by my side for my wedding. She has been my best friend, no matter how far away we have lived from each other, and has always been such an inspriation to me. She is so mature, smart, and has the best personality. I am truly blessed to have someone like her in my life, and grateful to call her my bestfriend. im so happy that she has found the love of her life and that i get to be apart it. I love you Nicole

Derek Wunder

Best Man

The years have been kind to Andrew, he’s become a strapping young man with an unfaltering work ethic. I met Andrew before that, though. Our friendly neighborhood tree was but a little twig, a budding Boy Scout with a knack for Michael Jackson impressions when we met at the Bradley VFW. However, before the world smiled upon Andrew he was still the perfect friend for me. No one was as goofy, as fun, or as loyal as him. Andrew has been there laughing with me during my best memories and at my worst he was still there but also had Taco Bell. I can’t say I remember how to tie a square knot anymore, but I learned how to be a true friend from Andrew. It is a privilege and honor to be part of this next chapter in his and Nicole’s lives, and dammit, if he’s that good of a friend I can only imagine he’s going to be a pretty good husband too.

Aeryk Trauscht

Best Man

"Andrew is a carefree guy who loves to joke around and honestly has a bit of a hard time acting serious. He works pretty damn hard and doesn't know when to quit. To me, Andrew's been a stalwart friend since before since before we were even preteens. He's family, and i honeslty can't really remember a time before i called him my brother."

" Andrew is a brother, a friend. Someone you can always depend on, no matter the time, place or circumstances. The first person to roll up his sleeves, and the last person to wash up. Dependable, kind, compassionate, trustworthy. It'd be hard to find a better man. "

Tj Walters

Groomsman

Andrew is one of a kind. He is the type of man who would help you in a second without hesitation. He would listen to your problems in your time of need and he would hand you the shirt off his back if you needed a shirt. He has a big heart and is the kid of a guy who would make you feel welcome no matter what. I am privileged to have him as a family member as well as a great friend.

Dustin Duncan
