Patrick & Jessica's Wedding
Wedding Party
Oliva Nellermoe
Bridesmaid
Hello my name is Olivia, or to Jess, Nellermoe. We met during our time together at the Air Force Academy Preparatory School. I had the privilege of being roommates with Jess for our second part of that year and I couldn't have asked for a better bestie. We have stayed close through the following years and have enjoyed many laughs and unique memories together. I am incredibly honored to be able to come stand by her side as she marries Patrick, and gains her forever partner and bug killer. I am an avid animal lover, out doors adventurer. And travel enthusiast. I currently serve as an Army Field Artillery Officer.

I met Jess in our CS-04 alcove, neighbors perhaps, and we clicked very quickly. A friendship that no one thought would have happened. But here we are, on the other side!

Marlene Lorber
Bridesmaid
I met Jess my junior year at USAFA when we became roommates by chance and it ended up being the best thing that happened to me. I told her one day that she is my inspiration because she wakes up at 5 am to go to the gym. She is one of the best people I know and I am so excited for her and Patrick

I met Jess way back before she thought to attend usafa. Back then she was working towards her first degree black belt and we spent many days sparring in the Tae Kwon Do studio. I wish the best of luck to Patrick and Jess on their marriage and the start of their Air Force careers. Cheers!
