Maid of Honor
Nicole's BFF, Wifey, partner in crime, and LoveMuffin. Together, they enjoy drinking wine/martinis/margaritas, shopping at consignment stores, watching British TV shows, knitting, and staying home to be the designated grandmas of the friend group. She is the best MOH/pseudo wedding planner Nicole could have asked for. Love you, wifey!
Best Man
One of Steve's friends from college. The host of many parties (not what you're thinking), Anil used his DJ skills to host large events throughout campus and our dorm events. Steven lived on the same floor as Anil for about two years, breaking Steven out of his quiet shell. Many stories, exams, and late nights studying were shared in our engineering education career, making many memories never to be forgotten.
Bridesmaid
Nicole's sister. She grew up with Nicole (obviously) and as kids they loved having bad fashion shows, watching Disney, playing school, and playing any type of game imaginable. As they got older, the fashion, Disney and game obsessions and jokes just kept getting better. Nicole is honored to have her favorite sister at her side on this special day, mostly because it means they will actually be in the same country for once. "Whether near or far apart, we will always be sisters, joined at the heart."
Groomsman, Man of Honor
Nicole's male BFF, AKA boyfriend. For real, most of Nicole's family and co-workers always assumed they were dating. Theirs is a relationship strengthened by years of happy hour martinis, Vintage sea-CQ, and cynical conversations. He always keeps Nicole in check, and is not afraid to tell her when she is wrong or being silly. He is the honorary Man of Honor, and will always be the #1 boyfriend in her life (since Steve has been promoted to fiance/future-husband).
Bridesmaid
One of Nicole's best friends. They originally met through a friend-of-a-friend at UWGB, then rekindled that friendship the following summer, bonding over shared interests in half off drinks and the cute bartender at Ned Kelly's. Calyssa and Nicole have shared many laughs and adventures throughout the years, none of which will be posted on this wedding website. Calyssa will be bringing the party at the wedding - can't wait for some adventures on the dance floor!
Groomsman
Steven's college roommate sophomore year in the dorms. Steven and Preston shared many late nights being night owls and spending many sleepless nights studying. Preston was always around, being a great person to talk to, he had much advice to give.
Bridesmaid
One of Nicole's best friends and ex-roommates. They met at a bar on St. Patrick's Day. Nicole literally walked in the bar with a friend, was introduced to Kaeley, and was doing an Irish car bomb with her within 30 seconds. If that doesn't build a strong friendship, I don't know what does. Kaeley is caring and funny, and Nicole is so glad to have her by her side on this special day! P.S . No, Nicole and Kaeley are NOT sisters or twins.
Groomsman
Steve's high school friend. Scott and Steve go way back to Steven's eighth grade year. Let's face it, Steve is a nerd, taking high school math a year early. Scott and Steve found themselves on the math academic team together. In more recent years, Scott and Steve are active in ultimate frisbee and bowling, and throwing around sum math puns.
Bridesmaid
Steven's sister. Steven growing up as the younger brother, he endured the times under Lynn's supervision. From the times with her friends dressing him up in a dress and lipstick to walk on the sidewalk, to testing the various uncooked pancake batters (likely to see if it was safe). In the later years, Lynn has found a great partner in life, raised two wonderful girls, in a house with a white picket fence (literally). Steve has looked up to Lynn as a role model over the years, and hopes to share the great experiences in years to come.
Groomsman
Steven's brother-in-law. Ben and Steve met back in middle school taking tennis lessons. Ben is very smart and funny, and caught the eye of Steven's sister a few years later. Throughout their time together, they let Steve hang around for cookouts, ugly sweater parties, and got to witness Ben put extra thought into how he popped the question (and ...taking some notes). Steve didn't have a brother, but couldn't ask for a better brother-in-law.
Usher
A good friend of Steven. Joe and Steve met through mutual friends while living with roommates. Joe invited Steve out to his bachelor party to playing lawn games and have some fun. Since then, Joe and his wife have met Steven and Nicole out for tailgating, game nights, and just to catch up over a beer.
Usher
A great friend of Steve, Ben and Steve were roommates for three years. From kayaking and frolfing, to shooting pool or bowling, Ben has been around to listen, grab a drink with, or lighten the mood with some jokes. Although Ben can pull some interesting practical jokes, Steve greatly appreciated those years as roommates and the years since then of friendship.
Usher
Nicole's brother. Highlights of their history together include playing Spy Kids, taking endless home videos of all the hilarious thing she did as a child, and that time when Nicole accidentally broke his thumb (sorry!). He may be 20 years old now, but he will always be Little Dude to Nicole. Happy to have him read and help usher in guests at the wedding.
Ring Bear(er)
Nicole's nephew. The cutest little boy that ever existed. He can laugh, cry, scream, talk - it doesn't matter, he is still completely adorable. We can't to see him in a cute little bowtie and suspenders.
Flower Girl
Steve's oldest niece. An adorable 5-year-old who knows how to take charge and demand attention. We are just hoping this darling diva doesn't try to upstage the beautiful bride(zilla).
Flower Girl
Steve's youngest niece. A sweet little 2-year-old who loves food and is full of smiles (unless there is a camera around). She will definitely keep us on our toes at the wedding - there is no telling what this tiny toddler will do!
