Wedding Party
Kayla Kinateder
Matron of Honor
Kayla is Nola's best friend. She has known us the longest (13 years). We’ve grown up side by side through every season of life. From high school photoshoots and McDonald’s coffee runs to endless yapping sessions, dance parties, and car karaoke, she’s been part of my everyday world for as long as I can remember. There’s truly no one else I would’ve wanted to grow up with. She’s been there for the happy tears, the hard days, the late nights, and all the milestones—and we honestly couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without her.
Grant Gazar
Best Man
Grant is Adrian’s best man and one of those friendships that just clicked from the start. We met in 2021 and somehow survived living together for three years in the infamous Helen house with five other roommates (almost all the groomsmen). Whether we're posted up watching UFC or just hanging out, Grant’s always been a steady, fun presence in our lives. I also take my self-appointed role as Grant’s wingman very seriously. We couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him.
Brianna Cline
Bridesmaid
Brianna is Nola’s sister and built-in best friend—we were attached at the hip growing up and literally wouldn’t do anything without each other. She’s the BEST barista and stylist and is always showing up for everyone in the little ways that matter most. She and her boyfriend Jae are our go-to double-date partners for Lego party game nights and cooking meals together. If we’re all together, expect wholesome chaos and a little friendly competition. This day wouldn’t be complete without her by our side.
Nick Tucci
Groomsman
Nick and Adrian met in 2021 at the Helen house, living together on the second floor. Tucci is a huge Browns fan, and if you catch him during football season, he’s probably multi-streaming every game at once. Some of my favorite memories with Tucci are late nights at Martino’s, and taking over Ian’s room for late-night hangouts and video games with the boys. He’s always down for anything and is truly one of the kindest people you’ll meet. This day would not be complete without him by our side.
Lexie Cline
Bridesmaid
Lexie is Nola’s sister and our longtime honorary third wheel. What started as tagging along quickly turned into a real friendship with Adrian and so many everyday moments that turned into core memories. She’s our built-in entertainment, always matching our sarcasm and somehow ending up in the middle of whatever chaos we’ve created (usually instigated by Adrian and Lexie). Whether it’s late-night talks, random errands that turn into adventures, or just being there when we need a laugh, Lexie shows up for us in ways that don’t go unnoticed. This day would not be complete without her by our side.
Nik Younker
Groomsman
Nik and Adrian met in 2023 at the Helen house. Younker always brings a great vibe and makes everything more fun just by being there. Some of my favorite memories with him are late-night Fortnite zone wars with Ian, sneaking into his room to mess with his stuff just to see if he’d notice, and watching him play two video games at once while still keeping up with YouTube. Add in his elite karaoke picks: “Unwritten” or anything by Ice Spice, and you’ve got a pretty good idea of Younkers vibe. We couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him.
Kaylen Rolsen
Bridesmaid
Kaylen and Nola originally met in 2020 as freshman at UC, but didnt truly get to know one another until they were sophmore-year roomates. We survived business school, countless Starbucks “studying” sessions that were really just long yapping sessions, and all the highs and lows that come with growing up. She’s THE best hype woman. From nights out dancing with the girls to deep talks about life, or hosting the best wine nights, she’s been a huge part of my journey from college into adulthood. Kaylen is truly one of the most supportive people I know. This day would not be complete without her.
Ian Socolik
Groomsman
Adrian met Ian in 2021 at the Helen house, and from the start, he was the kind of friend who was always down for anything. Ian’s door was always open. Whether it was to hang out, talk about life, or steal from his pile of Costco snacks. Some of my favorite memories with Ian are late nights gaming, going out together, watching UFC, and his weekly attempts to rally the entire house to go to the casino at 1 am. He’s always fun to be around and is always there for all of us guys. This day would not be complete without him by our side.
Riley Haag
Bridesmaid
Nola met Riley in 2021 through Adrian’s roommate. If Riley hadn’t transferred to UC when she did, our worlds might’ve never collided, and I can’t imagine life without her. What started as just the Helen house girlfriends quickly turned into endless laughter, girls’ nights out, espresso martinis, and ranting about the world. She’s the friend who will always say yes to dancing, another green tea shot, and picking the perfect spot to eat (she & Jerrell never steer us wrong on our double dates). Riley has been such a steady, joyful part of our lives. This day wouldn’t be complete without her by our side.
Jerrell Francisco
Groomsman
Adrian met Jerrell in 2021 at the Helen house, and they clicked right away. Together, we built the legendary Helen Hut (the backyard pallet bar) that quickly became a house staple. Some of my favorite moments with Jerrell are our late-night deep talks and bonding over our shared streak of terrible car luck (seven between the two of us). Jerrell is always cooking up something good in the kitchen. He’s one of the most laid-back, thoughtful people we know. Nola and I love our double dates with him and Riley. Whether it be a night out or in, there’s never a dull moment with them. We couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without him.
Reese Matheson
Bridesmaid
Reese has known us the second longest (10 years of friendship)! Adrian and I used to call her our “child” back in high school, and she’s been there for all the goofy moments, late-night laughs, and random adventures. From helping me sneak McDonald’s into high school, to impromptu nights out, to conversations that turned into non-stop laughing until our cheeks hurt. She always brings her energy, humor, and sense of fun to every moment. She’s grown up alongside both of us through all the highs and the messy in-betweens, and has been such a constant in our lives. We honestly couldn’t imagine celebrating this day without her.
Hayden Valencour
Groomsman
Adrian met Hayden in 2016 through mutual online friends, and they connected right away over their shared humor and love of gaming. For six years, our friendship lived online, spending hours playing Rust, Counter-Strike, and Minecraft before we ever met face-to-face. When we finally met in person in 2022, it felt like picking up right where we left off. Some of my favorite memories with him are camping, hiking, watching UFC, and still spending way too many hours gaming together. We’re so grateful to have Hayden with us as we celebrate.
Lydia Castro
Junior Bridesmaid
Lydia is Adrian’s little sister. She is full of energy, humor, and charm. She’s an incredible artist and musician—she even cat-sat for us and painted the BEST portrait of Jupiter (seriously, if you need art, she’s your person!). We have both loved watching her grow into the amazing woman she is today. We’re so thrilled to have her by our side to celebrate this day with us.
Caiden Nord
Junior Groomsman
Caiden is Nola’s little brother. Adrian met him when he was only nine years old & they clicked right away. He grew up with us. Spending hours watching anime, making snack runs, getting into water gun fights, playing video games, and just goofing off together. Somewhere along the way, the nicknames “C-dawg” and “A-dawg” stuck, and we've been inseparable ever since. Caiden is one of the funniest, most caring, and loyal people we know, and his laugh and smile light up any room he walks into. This day wouldn’t be complete without him.
Natalie Castro
Junior Bridesmaid
Natalie is Adrian’s little sister and our attention-to-detail queen—she somehow knows everything about everyone. She’s artistic, full of energy, and always brings her creativity and spark to everything she does. We have loved watching her grow into the amazing person she is today, and we’re so thrilled to have her by our side to celebrate this day with us.
