From an early age, Rhonda pursued big dreams, taking to the skies as an airline pilot before finding her greatest passion in family life and raising two sons. Later, she and her husband discovered a shared love of wine and together built their own winery, which Harrison now enjoys running.

Michael Wood

Michael grew up in Michigan but always felt California calling. He made the solo drive west with a trailer in tow, landed a dream job selling stereo equipment in the ’70s, and eventually graduated from UC Berkeley—the school he had always hoped to attend. His travels took him through Europe, Squaw Valley, and even Chicago before he returned to the place that truly felt like home. In California, he built a life with Rhonda, raised two sons, and helped start the family winery. Grateful for the journey, Michael is proud of the life they’ve created and excited for what’s ahead.

Sandee Olsen
Maid of Honor
"Hi everyone! I'm Sandee, Nicolle’s Right Hand Gal. Our connection started years ago as we enjoyed the night life our town had to offer. Since then, we've perfected our dance moves (or at least, we think we have) shared countless laughs, and created memories that will last a lifetime. We were our safe place during the crazy lock downs and our friendship grew into an unbreakable bond. Her friendship, loyalty and beautiful heart has inspired me. Now, I'm beyond honored to stand beside her as her Maid of Honor, trading in the dance floor for the aisle. I’m beyond excited to see her start this next chapter in her life with her true soulmate, Harrison Wood. Get ready for a heartfelt toast, maybe a few dance floor flashbacks, and a whole lot of love for this incredible couple.”
Tiffany Walker
Honorary Bridesmaid
Meet Tiffany, the self-proclaimed CEO of hyping Nicolle up, unofficial DIY extraordinaire, and the one most likely to cry during her vows. We bonded instantly over our shared love of fashion and mastered coordinating events, and from that moment on, it was clear—we were either long-lost twins or just two people destined to cause harmless chaos together.
Kristen Brunner
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone! Nicolle is my best friend. I have known her for a very long time. I am very happy to see her and Harrison getting married and glad to be a part of it. I am a very loyal and a good friend. I could be a little silly and crazy at times, but always very sweet. Just don’t mess with me when I’m hangry. I’m known for being very talkative. I’m a very hard worker. I also have a little Pomeranian that I love hanging out with. That about sums it up about me! Looking forward to meeting everyone!
Alisa Scribner
Bridesmaid
Nicolle and I met during the isolation of the pandemic. When the world was on pause. Together along with Sandee and (Matt), we discovered secret hideaways where we could listen to music and dance the night away. Those late-night escapades turned into something magical, and what began as mere acquaintances blossomed into a deep sisterhood that I will cherish forever. Now, I'm overjoyed to stand by Nicolle's side as she marries the love of her life, Harrison. As her bridesmaid, I've had a front-row seat to the blossoming of their relationship and the realization of Nicolle's dream. Her unwavering spirit and zest for life have been an inspiration, and I can't wait to celebrate this exciting new chapter with her.

Hello everyone! The Real Brandon Crawford here… your local professional in bartending and mixology, not baseball. I’ve known Nicolle for over 20 incredible years. She is practically a sister of mine. She and my wife (Lauren Crawford) are forever best friends. She promised her to look after me for her and now I’m stuck with her. We wish Lauren was here today to celebrate this amazing day. I am beyond excited for her and Harrison to take this next step in their lives! I have 3 kids under 5 so I spend most of my time doing that incredible duty and service they call parenting whilst providing the community only the finest in spirits and service. I am riddled with excitement and grandeur for a November to remember! To Nicolle and Harrison!! Cheers !!! 🥂

Leanne Cory
Bridesmaid
My name is Leanne Marie Cory. I grew up as a wild flower in Livermore California. I am a mother and lover of all animals, big and small. The moment Nicolle was brought into my life was nothing short of Destiny. Our over 15 years of friendship was ignited by our shared friendship with our closest friend and sister Kristen. I am honored and blessed to celebrate and be a part of the matrimony of Nicolle and Harrison. They are a true match made in heaven. Their love, devotion, respect, and loyalty for each other is truly inspiring. I couldn’t be happier!
Taline Bicakci
Bridesmaid
I'm a passionate and outgoing student based in San Diego who loves traveling, beach days, and spending time with friends and family. I am currently studying to get my Doctorate in Psychology and moving back up to the bay area for high education. I’m so excited to be part of this special day! Nicolle is my older cousin and I’ve looked up to her my whole life.
Charlotte Bicakci
Bridesmaid
You can call me a devoted cat enthusiast that loves caring for animals. Thinking about becoming a veterinarian tech, I get a lot of practice while working at Cat Town as a lead supervisor. I love long car rides, watching movies, and door dashing meals with my boyfriend. I look forward to my cousin’s big day and welcome Harrison to our family. I feel like they are already married because I always see them together at our family gathering.
Alexandra Felker
Bridesmaid
Allie met Nicolle as her hairstylist, and their shared love for all things beauty quickly turned into a lasting friendship. Allie has thoroughly enjoyed their long conversations and is thrilled to celebrate Nicolle and Harrison's love story!
Parker Wood
Best Man
Younger brother and best man to the best brother in the world and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Even though there’s a two year age gap between us, I occasionally joke about how similar we look, especially since some people accidentally call me by his name. As far as my wine career goes though, it took me longer than it did Harrison to realize that the family business is my true calling and started helping out more in early 2024. Ever since I’ve been helping out family more, I’ve seen how happy Harrison and Nicolle are together and I look forward to calling Nicolle my sister.
Charles Yoon
Groomsman
Harry and I met in college back in 2009, and let’s just say it took some effort on my part to teach him how to be a great friend (inside joke, lol). Over the years, though, he’s become one of the best. From surviving in college at North Hall, to living off campus, to hanging out in Rhonda and Michael’s tower, we’ve built a lifetime of memories—some great, some questionable, but all unforgettable.
Scott Henderson
Groomsman
Harrison and I go way back to our younger years... and although I’ve moved to the far northern reaches of the state, we’ve kept our long-distance relationship alive. Whether I’m showing up in Livermore with only a couple hours notice, or Harrison and company are coming north for a Humboldt camping trip. I’m honored to be a part of his small army of groomsmen and to celebrate their marriage.
Alec Fraser
Groomsman
Harrison and I met playing little league baseball over 20 years ago. We became fast friends through our shared adventurous spirits - not his baseball skills.. we’ve shared countless cherished memories from long bike rides between our childhood homes, “hunting” coyotes at night in the vineyards, rope swings at Del Valle, backpacking Europe and working together at Wood Family for a few years. I wish him and Nicolle the best on their newest adventure!
Brandon Perry
Groomsman
Funny how in high school I never would've expected Harrison and I to be friends — But wouldn't you have it, time proved me wrong, because now he’s my best friend. Can’t believe our bond survived all those 7-Eleven pizza runs. Know what’s impressive though? His dedication to that gas-station cuisine. Honestly, every time I see him, I wonder if the glow on his face is friendship… or the fluorescent light reflecting off a slice. After all these years, I’ve realized some things never change—his questionable food choices just have better packaging now. Really though, I wouldn’t trade him for anything. Remember, buddy—high school was just the beginning. Love you bro—but your taste in food, fashion, and life decisions could all use a receipt. Except Nicolle; she's the best decision you've ever made, and I wish you both the best always and forever. Never change, Harrison.
Jordan Beall
Groomsman
Harrison and I have known each other for over 20 years now. While most people would get sick of him long before that, he is still one of the best people that I know. But in all seriousness, Harrison’s one of the most optimistic and outgoing people I’ve ever known, he could make friends in an empty room. He has always been a force of good in my life, through the highs and the lows. Always extremely supportive and selfless, for example, he never turned down an opportunity to eat any of my food for free. What a guy. Over the years our paths took us different directions, and even though I eventually moved back to San Diego, our friendship hasn’t missed a beat. No matter the distance or time between visits, we always pick up right where we left off — just like the old days.
Dillon Harper
Groomsman
Over the years, we’ve been together through so many adventures. Camping in the forest, a couple of years of 2-day town, hiding in the car from coyotes in the Joshua Tree desert… well, Brandon and I were… Harrison was the bait. (He survived, clearly.) The days spent at the house, the downtime, and hard conversations no one else sees are what has always meant the most to me. Harrison has shown me what a friend and brother really look like. He called me one night to tell me he’d been hanging out with a girl. To my surprise, she was real. He said he’d fallen for her already and doesn’t know what to do. I gave him the same advice he once told me. “Don’t worry about anyone else. If you feel it in your heart, go for it.” I’m happy he followed his heart. I’m honored to stand by Harrison for his biggest adventure yet. I wish you both a lifetime of love and happiness.
Jerrod Martinez
Groomsman
Harrison and I met in a college cooking class, where we bonded over our shared love of culinary disasters. We've since shared countless laughs and memories, from accidentally setting off the fire alarm during a particularly ambitious bouillabaisse experiment to road-tripping across the country in search of the perfect BBQ joint. I'm thrilled to see him tie the knot with Nicolle and can't wait to see what the future holds for them. Wishing them a recipe for happiness that's full of love, laughter, and adventure!
Benjamin Jacobson
Groomsman
Hey everyone! I’ve been an honorary adopted child of the Wood family since I met Harrison in 4th grade. From middle school dances to adulting (barely), Harrison has been consulted for every good, bad, and stupid decision I have made for the better part of 25 years. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Nicolle during some recent trips and I am so excited for her to be adopted as well. Can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
Craig Cofer
Groomsman
Harrison and I have been friends since we were kids — playing sports together and doing a lot of growing up out in the vineyards. No matter where life took me, whether just a few miles away or across the world, Harrison has always remained one of my closest friends. I’m truly excited to celebrate the beginning of this new chapter for Harrison and Nicolle.
Marshall Biggs
Groomsman
Hey everyone, I’m Marshall aka Biggs. Harrison and I met back in the day playing football. We knew we were destined to either be arched nemeses or best friends, and thankfully for both us it was the latter. I’ve had the enlightening experience of being roommates with Harrison at a couple different locations and always made sure he had a home to come back to after all of his adventures around the world. If I had a dollar for every movie we’ve watched and dissected and bottle of wine we’ve finished together, I’d be a very rich man. Stoked to meet everyone and celebrate Harry and Nicolle’s special day together.
Frank Press
Groomsman
From just about day one of college, Harrison and I have been best friends, from late night political conversations, to debauchery and extravaganzas across SF, to World Series games (go Giants) and being excluded from every international trip Harrison’s ever been on (still waiting for my invite…) Harrison and I have lived a life together (and without each other) that many dream about. So it’s with the utmost pride that I watch him embark on his next adventure with Nicolle across the world - without me of course.
