Soren & Nick
Wedding Party
Rhianna Terrien
Officiant
We are so excited to have Rhianna guide us into this next phase of our journey, and love. It all started with a childhood pact. Nick met Rhianna when they were both in 6th grade waiting for the school bus. Nick didn't have her ears pierced so obviously Rhianna couldn't believe she was actually a girl, and Rhianna didn't eat meat which obviously meant Nick couldn't be friends with her... despite their beliefs, these two would grow to become the best of friends, each others "Mama Oprah" if you will. Soren Nick and Rhianna shared freshman homeroom together. That is how the three of them became friends. Over the years Rhianna would find her way to Kentucky living in the bustling city of Louisville, but that never stopped the friendship from growing. The day Nick told Rhi that she was going to propose to Soren, Rhi a little while later replied with a photo of an officiant certificate. What you don't know, is somewhere in their long history of friendship, Nick and Rhianna agreed to marry the other when the day came. Little did they know, for Nick it would be the woman of her dreams and lifelong crush that Rhi spent MANY years having to listen to Nick go on and on about. We are so excited and blessed that she still wants to marry us, and both Soren and Nick feel that there is really no better person for the role. We love you Rhianna!
Christina Shulters
Best Woman
This Beautiful idiot is my big sister Chris. She is two years older than me, and has always been there for me when I needed her, especially in our adult life. She is strong, stubborn, kind and pain in my ass half the time but I don't know what I would do without her. She has overcome much in her life, and I hope she knows how proud her little sister is.. She is beyond important to me, so it only made sense to have her as my best woman.
Ryan O'Connell Harriss
Best Man
This is one of my best friends Ryan! We met in Kindergarten at Helman Elementary in Ashland Oregon. He and I were always really close, and that has not changed in the 22 years that Ive known him. Ryan went with me to not only pick the ring, he was there when I picked it up and even travelled to the coast to help me propose. He's been the best friend I could possibly ask for. He has a beautiful wife, Danielle who is going to be standing along side Soren for our big day. These two mean the world to us, and we are so grateful that they can join us in our journey
Allison Pasiuk
Brosmaid
Al and I met in college at Southern Oregon University. This Minnesotan has a voice that will blow your mind. And a heart that could encompass the world. She only spent a year at SOU, but I grew very found of her during that time, and cannot wait for her to celebrate with us on our day. If you get the chance to interact with her I know you will walk away feeling beyond lucky to have met her. She's the kind of person you instantly want to be friends with, while also feeling like you're already best friends. She is someone I aspire to be like, even after all of these years.
Joshua Dennis
Brosmaid
This towering giant with a heart of gold is Josh! I met him when he started dating my good friend Raina. The second you interact with him you realize he is literally just a big kid at heart. The closer he and I got I discovered that he is a great listener and will do anything to help the people he cares about. He's genuinely one of the kindest people I know. It doesn't hurt that we think each other are hilarious either.. So much so, we thought it was a good idea to start a Podcast together. Thus Bone Chilling Brews was created. Im honored to have him up there with us on this special day.
Raina Ahern
Brosmaid
Raina is one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet! We have been friends for a long time. She has always been there for me when I needed someone, and she has one of the best laughs in the world. She is one of those genuinely kind people that you don't actually believe exists until you've met them, but I promise you, she's very real! Possibly the most down to earth person I know and overall an amazing friend to have. She is going to be in my party, but standing on Sorens side so she can walk with her boo thang Josh. We are so excited to share this day with you both.. I couldn't just pick one of you <3
Josh Bramblett
Brosmaid
This giant teddy bear is a saint among men. You know those people you meet and instantly you feel like you've known them your entire life? This is what Josh and I have together. Its a beautifully unexpected friendship that I feel entirely blessed to have been introduced to, and I would not give up our memories for anything. Akon ain't got nothing on this guy!
Caitlin Macy
Maid of Honor
Our wedding planner powerhouse, MOH, and best friend! What would we do without you! Caitlin and Soren met through work during the dark Covid times and then started travel nursing together and have been attached at the hip ever since. Caitlin is one of the strongest, most bad ass women we know. She's also stubborn as all heck, but we love her. She reminds us how important our time is together, and that tomorrow is never promised. We couldn't imagine our day without her by our side. She was hoping for the flower girl gig, but she got stuck with MOH instead. We love you!
Mimi Tran
Soren's Person
Oh, where to begin. The love I have for this woman runs deep. Starting with the trenches of nursing school and continuing on till death do us part (I found my soulmate, but Mimi is my Soul Sister). Mimi has always been my light through the dark days and even though life has placed space between us, our friendship has never wavered. This day wouldn't be complete without her and I'm so excited to have her by my side! You will always be my person, I love you.
Danielle O'Connel Harriss
Bridesmaid
Danielle, the sweetest soul you'll ever meet. Wife to Ryan and momma to the cutest baby boy. Danielle is one of those people who just radiates light. She has this ability to connect with anyone on such a deep level so that they feel heard and seen. Her positivity and kindness lights up any room she's in. She attracts good vibes and her energy is so contagious. I feel so lucky to know her and I am so excited for her to be part of our day!
Jen Zwick
Bridesmaid
Caitlin introduced us to Jen and we've been hooked ever since. Jen has this sour patch kid vibe to her, she can be sour then sweet in the sense that she's a badass nurse who can take charge of any room, but she also can see into your soul and know exactly what you need at any given moment. Her kindness and love for those she cares about is unreal and palpable. She can be the life of the party or there to hold space when you need it. We love her and can't wait to get into the wedding shenanigans!
