Cole & Nina
Wedding Party
Jon Roach
Best Man
Jon first met Cole and Nina in 6th grade. Cole and Jon became friends soon after. They played in several bands together throughout the years. In high school, Jon, Cole and Nina became inseparable and could often be found at Jon's house or the local boba joint. The couple lovingly refers to him as "Jonny" (and no one else is allowed to call him that!)
Natalie Salazar
Maid of Honor
Nina and Natalie have known each other since Nina was born (they're sisters after all). Though they didn't always get along growing up, they have become close friends since moving out. Nina could not imagine marrying Cole without Natalie right there beside her.
Liam Coombe
Groomsman
Cole and Liam met in 4th grade Sunday school but then were in the same class from 5th grade on. They shared a love of music and became fast friends at church and at school. Liam and Cole played in a couple of bands together and have always had a great time shooting the sh!t together.
Emily Buchanan
Bridesmaid
Emily and Nina met in 4th grade. They played years of sports together, had marathon sleepovers, and even crushed on some of the same boys. In high school, Emily moved in down the street and Nina practically moved in. Nina and Emily have spent many girl's nights eating green tea mochi and dancing to Ladies Night by Kool and the Gang.
Sumner Howell
Groomsman
Cole and Sumner met in 4th grade Sunday school but then were in the same class from 5th grade on. Summer was the keyboardist in the seemingly annual talent show band with Cole and Jon and then jazz band in high school. Cole and Sumner have been good friends for a long time and will be for years to come.
Celena Aguilar
Bridesmaid
Celena and Nina first met in 7th grade. They became closer in high school when they started working out together... and by working out, I mean venting about problems while at the gym. Celena was on the ground floor of Nina and Cole's relationship and has help picked out every piece of jewelry Cole has ever given to Nina, including the engagement ring!
Nathan King
Groomsman
The bride and groom have known Nathan since elementary school. Cole and Nathan’s parents became friends leading Cole and Nathan to become good friends. Car pooling, hanging out after school, and following the mothers around grocery shopping helped create the tight bond that is resembled today. There is never a dull moment when Cole and Nathan are together.
Jillian Savage
Bridesmaid
Jillian and Nina met at Belmont University in a class about Harry Potter. The two became friends when they realized they both loved to make fun of each other and everyone else. They worked together at Publix and ate an unhealthy amount of white chocolate macadamia nut cookie dough in their dorms together.
Nicholas Rieker
Groomsman
Cole and Nicholas met while Cole was in College and became fast friends. The endless sarcasm and insults are what make this a truly special relationship. Cole and Nicholas have been through some crazy stuff, including but not limited to heisting Nicholas’ own restaurant in the middle of the night. Don’t ask. Cole is honored to have Nicholas as a Groomsman.
Audrey Barnett
Bridesmaid
Nina and Audrey met at their church college ministry. Through all the groups adjustments and changes, Nina and Audrey stuck together and had a great time! On a Sunday morning, you'll find them at the church together, still exhausted from the gig they went to the night before.
Gregory Salazar
Groomsman
Greg (Nina's brother) and Cole’s sister, Tori, started in class together the same year Cole and Nina did. Cole always has admired Greg for his quick and intelligent whit. Ever since Cole and Nina started dating, Greg has become more of Cole’s life. He is now not just a future brother in-law, but a great dependable friend. Dependable as in, you can always depend on him to make you laugh.
Tori Fay
Bridesmaid
Tori (Cole's sister) and Nina have known each other for over a decade, but became friends when Nina was in high school. Almost any time one of them was house sitting, the other would sleep over! Nina admires Tori's resilience and determination in sports and all aspects of her life. Nina is excited to call Tori her sister.
