Trey & Noelle
Wedding Party
Nicolle Richards
Maid of Honor
A friend of the bride since birth, Nicolle has always been the younger sister who somehow manages to have the wisdom of an older sister. Whether it's helping the bride learn how to cook, help plan a wedding, or give wonderful advice with a listening ear, she is always a helping hand and a loving sister who keeps the bride laughing. Nicolle graduates from Stephen F. Austin State University in May, with a major in speech pathology.
Nathalie Richards
Bridesmaid
Nathalie is the youngest sister and friend of the bride. She is an inspiration with her kindness and devotion to God. Nathalie is in her first year at San Jacinto college and is considering a career as a sonographer. In her free time she enjoys sketch drawing, painting, and ceramics.
Katie Frock
Bridesmaid
Noelle met Katie while the two were students at A&M (Whoop!). After one night of country dancing, they became tied at the hip and a life long friendship had developed. The dancing became a part of their college life (almost religiously) every weekend. It wasn't long before they became roommates, took multiple road trips, and worked two jobs together throughout their college years. Katie and Noelle are both "Aggie" teachers and will always have a special bond.
Madeline Schaefer
Bridesmaid
Maddie and Noelle thought that they had been best friends since 5th grade, until they recently discovered a photograph showing them together at the age of two, smiling brightly and hugging each other. Their Mother's Day Out teacher wrote in their school memory books that they were inseparable. It was a friendship destined to be. They share memories of going to their first concert together in 5th grade (Hannah Montana), summers on the beach in Florida, dancing at Garner State Park, and graduating A&M together (Whoop!). Their friendship is still as strong as ever and needless to say Maddie is, and always will be, a very important person in Noelle's life.
Micaela Kinsey
Bridesmaid
Micaela has been a childhood friend of Noelle's since the 5th grade. She has always had a warm heart and the patience of a saint as she became one of Noelle's first passengers when she was learning how to drive. Together Micaela, Noelle, and Madeline have been the Three Musketeers growing up. Micaela and her other half recently joined the bride and groom on a trip to Universal Studios in Florida. She will always be family, and a forever friend.
Andrew Wlazlo
Best Man
Sharing a Petroleum Engineering undergrad at Texas A&M, Trey and Andrew quickly became friends after meeting during the Freshman Honors seminar. The friendship grew as they became roommates for the remainder of their stay in College Station, with Andrew bringing the majority of the brains and Trey helping to liven up their college experience. Despite their paths diverging after college, the friendship persisted as their professional careers flourished. Today Andrew lives in Lubbock with his wife, Taylor. Recently, Noelle and Trey took a trip to Maui with Andrew and Taylor, where they learned how to boogie board - on a beach they later learned is known for its many Tiger sharks...whoops!
Waheed Sheikh
Groomsman
After moving to Houston from the New York office, Waheed was confronted by a colleague who took a different approach to traditional Corporate & Investment Banking than his prior colleagues. Despite Waheed's initial professional demeanor in the workplace, he and Trey quickly kicked it off as their combination of seriousness and lightheartedness fit together like peanut butter and jelly. They quickly became friends and often meet up for dinner at a local Mediterranean spot in Houston. Recently, Noelle and Trey were able to take a trip with Waheed and his wife Lana to visit the nation's biggest pumpkin patch in Chicago!
Sam Millslagle
Groomsman
During the first weeks of his Master's program at A&M, Trey met Sam. Their friendship initially clicked as they shared many hobbies, including hunting, fishing, shooting, and other outdoor activities. Then, at a fighting Texas Aggie football game, Noelle had the pleasure of meeting both Sam and his wife, Kellie, for the first time. Since then, they have had cooking nights and Game of Thrones watch parties. But, the most exciting recent event was the birth of Sam and Kellie's beautiful baby boy! Both Trey and Noelle can't wait to continue the friendship for the years to come and look forward to seeing Cub grow up with such a loving family.
Noah Richards
Groomsman
Noah is the brother of the bride and soon to be brother-in-law of the groom. Noah has always been a wonderful brother to the bride growing up, and with three sisters, he is very excited to have another male in the family! Noah is an alumni of Stephen F. Austin University and is currently employed with CCISD.
Lorenzo Oros
Ring Bearer
Lorenzo is the nephew of Trey. His favorite hobbies include Football and Track. He loves to travel (anywhere) and likes to go to restaurants. He is a smart and kind young man who is an honor roll student and faithfully serves at his church. He is similar to his Tio Trey in many ways! They both enjoys cars, video games, and percussion. He hopes to follow in Trey's footsteps by joining the band in high school and eventually going to Texas A&M to be an engineer (Whoop)! He loves and admires his Tio. We are so blessed to have him be a part of our day.
Benjamin Lopez
Ring Bearer
Benjamin, who is 3 years old, is the nephew of Trey and is a part of our ring "security" team. Benjamin loves to read! He is curious and loves to explore. He is brave and fearless, but also is a real sweetie pie. Like his Tio Trey, he loves dinosaurs and adopted all his Dino collection last year. He loves all things with wheels and everything Halloween. Benjamin loves his Tio Trey and Tia Noelle. He always remembers to add them to his nightly prayer list. We are so happy to have him in our day.
Catherine Swanner
Flower Girl
Catherine is the daughter of Noelle's cousin Courtney Carmicheal-Swanner. She is sweet and fun loving. She loves to play games, play with animals, and pretend she's a dragon or a T-Rex! She has been practicing her petal tossing in order to prepare. Noelle and Trey are so excited to have her be a part of their big day.
