Shelby Reisterer

Maid of Honor

Nicole and Shelby have been stuck at the hip for the past 7 years. You never saw Nicole without Shelby, and everyone knew this. Coaches and teachers constantly asking, "where is the other one?" when seen without each other. Whether it was busting a move during Just Dance, crying after school dances, or laughing in the living room until 2am, the two have seen each other through it all.

Isaac VanVleet

Groomsman

Isaac has been there since the beginning. When Owen moved into his new house at 3 years old, Isaac came knocking on the door asking for him to play outside. From that point on, the two of them bonded over typical boy things. Isaac has been the big brother that Owen never had, being there by his side through life, but also keeping him humble. Isaac is the mutual friend between Owen and Nicole. He was the one that set them up in the first place.

Ava Piacente

Bridesmaid

Ava is Nicole's true "Day 1". They have been best friends from when they were both in grade school. Through middle school, to college, they stuck with each other through all different phases of life. They saw one another at their best and their worst. Nicole would say her most fond memories walking to the store to get snacks and when they ate the spiciest ramen ever and continued to go to DQ and pay for one blizzard with their conjoined change, literal coins.

Alfredo Zacarias-Paz

Groomsman

Being part of the neighborhood group, Owen and Alfredo have been friends for about a decade. Alfredo is the type of guy that will have you laughing after 5 seconds, and if you aren't already laughing, you will be after hearing his wheeze. They share a lot of core memories, whether it be breaking Alfredo's fence, playing slender man in his backyard or hopping on the game and having deep conversations, the bond is there. Although their age gap makes it hard to consistently hang out now days, whenever they do get together, the friendship is just as strong as it was when they were kids.

Aeva Pollard

Bridesmaid

Aeva is the older sister of Owen. Their bond has been as tight as can be ever since Owen decided to stop using his "baby of the family" privilege, and Aeva quit beating him up. Being so close in age makes it easy to relate, and work through problems that one may have together. They are the best of friends. Owen always looked up to his older sister for what to do, how to act, and how to live life. Aeva has played a vital role in shaping Owen's character.

Luca Alvarez

Groomsman

Luca has been Nicole's older brother for what seems like a lifetime, maybe because it was. Luca has always been the best older brother, from birth, to their relationship now. However the two didn't always get along, not until about 3 years ago. But since then, Nicole has cherished their relationship. They enjoy spending time together, playing video games split-screen, and talking about cars. Luca's character has always been extremely tender and patient. He is the role model for all the Alvarez kids. Nicole gives Luca credit for every step of her life, literally, he was the one that taught Nicole how to walk after she refused to walk for her parents.

Melani Alvarez

Bridesmaid

Melani came into Nicole's life when she started dating Luca. Melani has always been the sweetest, most generous, and caring older sister Nicole had. Having another girl to look up to, meant so much to Nicole. Melani is extremley down to earth and understanding. She always makes a dull time, fun, and her smile could flip your whole day around. Melani was the first one to know about Nicole's pregnancy, and was quick to help and guide Nicole through the next steps. Nicole is so proud to call Melani her sister.

Ezra Alvarez

Groomsman

Ezra is the third sibling in the Alvarez family, being Nicole's younger brother. Nicole will always see him as a curly haired 3 year old asking for "el chocolate" in Spanish, or hyper-fixating on Despicable Me. He has grown into such a handsome young man and Nicole is so proud of him. However, this admiration does not mean she doesn't tease him anymore. They continue to make stupid jokes they would only understand, and talk about niche subjects. Ezra is the brains of the family. He is too smart for his own good, which leaves Nicole dumbfounded.

Alina Alvarez

Bridesmaid

Alina is Nicole's built-in-best-friend. Alina is the youngest in the Alvarez family, making her the adorable youngest child. As Alina has grown up, they have become more and more similar. Alina will always be a chunky little baby in a pink tutu to Nicole, even though she is growing into a beautiful young woman. Nicole is actually quite jealous of how cool Alina is, when Nicole was her age, she was no where near as pretty or cool. They will spend nights having girl time, while Alina keeps Nicole in the loop about teenage shenanigans. Nicole is so grateful for a little sister to keep her young.

Stephanie Pollard

Mother of the Groom

Stephanie is Owen's spawn point. Stephanie has done a great job in being a listening ear while also giving input to Owen. She has always made things possible when they seemed impossible. You know that tri-fold cardboard piece you need by the end of the night for your school presentation tomorrow? She may not have it, but she will get it for you in time. If Stephanie is your mom, your needs will be met. Her determination in being a great mom is unmatched. She puts the kids first and makes sure that they succeed in everything they do.

Lavinia Simedru

Mother of the Bride

Lavinia is Nicole's mother, but more than that, she is Nicole's best friend, Sister in Christ, and number 1 supporter. Since Nicole was young, Lavi taught Nicole to be strong in what she believes, be kind, and be grounded. Lavinia is someone Nicole can not live without. She is always seeking her mom for advice, a listening ear, or a free lunch while running errands. În toate greutățile prin care s-a confruntat, Lavi nu a ezitat niciodată să-și pună copiii și pe Dumnezeu pe primul loc. Fără credința mamei sale, Nicole nu ar fi unde este astăzi și nici unde se află în umblarea ei cu Dumnezeu. Nicole speră să fie pe jumătate mama care a fost mama ei.

Mike Pollard

Father of the Groom

Mike is the loving father to Owen. Mike made it his duty to lead the family in Christ all through the childhood of Owen and Aeva, and so on. He has shown Owen what a great father figure looks like.
