From the moment we met, our journey together has been full of laughter, growth, and love. Nic’s kindness, strength, and sense of humor make every day brighter, and I feel incredibly lucky to be walking this path with him. Together, we’re excited to build a life filled with love, adventure, and shared dreams—and we’re so grateful to celebrate this special day surrounded by family and friends.
Sarah Mahon
Maid of Honor
Best friend (soul sister) of 10+ years, who has been by my side in so many of life's adventures, every laugh, and every heart to heart. She's the person who knows so much about me, and holds space free of judgement. Someone I can truly be myself around and I couldn't be more grateful she is in my life. There's no one else I'd trust more to keep me sane on my wedding day!
Eric Tucker
Best Man
Eric has been by Nic’s side since middle school, and their friendship has stood the test of time. Through all of life’s ups and downs, Eric has been a constant source of loyalty, support, and good humor. It means so much to have him as Nic’s best man.
Courtney Portz
Groomswoman
Nic's oldest sister, Courtney has always had a quiet strength and wisdom that grounds everyone around her. She's insightful, kind to everyone she meets, and has been a steady source of support for us throughout our relationship. The way she leads with both heart and thoughtfulness is something we truly love about her—she’s someone who really makes people feel cared for.
Kelsi Portz

Kelsi brings the energy wherever she goes. She's fun, fearless, and always down for a good time—whether it’s dancing at concerts or making everyone laugh until they cry. She has a way of lighting up any room, and her ability to make everyone feel included is something we both admire deeply. We’re so lucky to have her joy and spirit with us on this day and every day ahead.
Sophia Decker

Daughter of the Bride, always by mom's side, whether we're baking together or sharing everyday moments. Sophia always cares for those around her and brings magic to every room she enters. Her big heart and creativity reminds us to find joy in the simple things. Her gentle spirit, honest heart, and nonstop stories fill our days with so much love. Sharing this special day with her by our side makes it all the more meaningful.
Zachariah Decker

Son of the Bride, always ready with a clever joke or thoughtful question. He's passionate about soccer, endlessly curious about life, and deeply attuned to the needs of those around him. With a kind heart and helping hand, he brings balance, warmth, and laughter to our lives. Having him by our side on this special day makes it even more complete.
Robert Portz
Father of the Groom
Nic’s dad has been a foundational pillar in both our lives and the family as a whole. His unwavering dedication, strength, and love have shaped the family in countless meaningful ways. We deeply respect and appreciate all that he has built and continues to build for those he loves. Having him here to support us on this special day is an honor we hold close to our hearts.
Donna Portz <3
Mother of the Groom
Forever in our hearts & always with us in spirit. Donna always supported us in every way. Her love and kindness are always present - shining through her son and her two beautiful daughters. We know we will feel her presence in the love that surrounds us on this beautiful day, and we carry her in our hearts as this new chapter begins.
Chrisandra Decker
Mother of the Bride
Mom has always shown up for her kids and is there when we need her most. We have grown so close over the last years, and I am grateful to have her as my mom. She's faced more than her share of challenges in recent years, and her strength, resilience, and faith continue to shine through. It means a lot to have her with us as we celebrate this day.
Thomas Decker

Rayah's dad is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet - a true friend to everyone who crosses his path. He has a gentle heart and a sensitive soul, and his warmth has always made people feel seen and welcome. We are grateful for his presence in our lives and it means so much to have him by our side.
Punk
Ring Bearer
Punk is our beloved pup and forever companion. Equal parts mischief and heart, he's been with us through so much and always knows how to make us laugh. He is the cuddliest boy and loves everyone. Punk's stomach is just as big as his heart. He loves water and the outdoors, but most importantly, he loves time with his humans.
