Wedding Party
Nicole Grueser
Bride
I’m beyond excited to soon be surrounded by so many of the people I love. It’s hard to put into words how lucky I feel, but I’ll try. First and foremost, I get to marry the most incredible person I know. Falling in love with Ian has been the greatest gift of my life. Every day, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to have found someone who is so kind, so loving, and truly an amazing human. Starting this next chapter of our lives together, with all of you by our side (hopefully), is beyond anything I could have dreamed. I am so grateful to have each and every one of you attend our wedding, and I can’t wait to celebrate with all the people who’ve shaped our lives and helped bring us to this moment. Thank you for being part of our journey—it means the world to me.
Ian Fennimore
Groom
I feel so lucky to have found the love of my life, Nikki so early in life. She’s not only gorgeous on the outside, but she’s one of the most amazing and hard-working people I’ve ever known. Every day, she inspires me with her determination, her kindness, and the way she lights up any room she walks into. I’ve had the privilege of watching her grow, and I honestly can’t believe I get to call her my wife. I feel like the luckiest person in the world. Having our families with us to witness our marriages moment means everything to us. This is the beginning of a beautiful chapter, and I’m so grateful to have all of you to celebrate it with us.
Michelle Urbina
Maid of Honor
From the very beginning, shes been my partner in crime. I remember when we were little, spending hours playing with polly pockets and dress-up, letting our imaginations run wild. Those moments were simple, but they were everything, because she were always there by my side, making even the smallest things feel special. As we grew, those childhood games evolved into real-life adventures. I’ll never forget the day I taught her how to drive, or all the laughter we shared during our late-night talks, just enjoying each other’s company as we figured out what it meant to grow up. You’ve been my best friend, my confidant, and the person who knows me better than anyone. Now, as I stand here, about to begin this new chapter, I’m so grateful to have her by my side as my Maid of Honor. She's been with me through it all. She has always supported me, and makes me laugh when I need it most. Thank you Michi, and for being the sister I got to choose.
Luisana Urbina
Bridesmaid
From the time we were little, we’ve always been partners in crime. Growing up together was filled with laughter, wild adventures, and moments that we’ll always remember—usually because of your endless energy that kept everything exciting. You’ve always had this infectious, crazy spirit that made every day feel like an adventure, and I wouldn’t trade those memories for anything. I can’t even count how many times we’ve laughed until our sides hurt, and every single time, I’m reminded of just how lucky I am to have you in my life. You bring a spark to every room you walk into, and that joy has been such a big part of my journey. Having you by my side on the most important day of my life means everything to me. You’ve been my best friend, my co-conspirator, and my personal source of endless laughter. I’m so grateful that we get to share this moment together and that I get to call you family.
Elijah Padgett
Best Man
From high school football games to all the wild moments that followed, he's been a constant in my life. We may not talk every day, but I know without a doubt that whenever we do pick up the phone or hang out, it’s like no time has passed at all. He's always been the guy I could count on – whether we were on the field pushing each other to be better or off the field, just being there when life threw us a curveball. It’s rare to find a friendship that can pick up right where it left off, no matter how much time goes by, and I’m lucky enough to have that with him. Through thick and thin, he's always had my back, and I know that no matter where life takes us, that’s never going to change. Even from across the country. Having you standing by my side today as my best man means everything to me. Thanks for being not just a great friend, but a brother.
Clay Fennimore
Groomsman
From the football field to late-night pizza, chocolate milk, and ice cream runs, he's been there for me through it all. He's always shown me what it means to be strong, loyal, and kind. I’ve learned so much from you—about life, about hard work, and about being there for the people you love. He's never been just my dad; he's been my teammate, my role model, and my biggest supporter. Now, as I step into this next chapter of my life, I’m so proud to have him by my side. He's been the best father I could ever ask for, and I know he's going to be the best groomsman. Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and for always showing up—whether it’s for the big moments or the small ones.
