Valerie & Nicholas
The "I Do" Crew
Valerie
Bride
For anyone who doesn't know the bride, you can rest assured everything has been thoroughly overthought and organized to a T! When she is not playing dressing up or creating obstacle courses for her clients as a Pediatric COTA, she enjoys crafting, writing music, spending time with her "zoo", or going on adventures! You can expect to hear multiple Taylor Swift songs played throughout the day, as she is a devoted Swiftie! She is eagerly looking forward to marrying her best friend and dancing the night away with everyone!
Nicholas
Groom
The groom is a respiratory therapist who will not only take your breath away but also help you breathe. When Nick is not listening to lungs, he enjoys collecting and playing cards, watching sports, golfing, sleeping, or eating. Nick is looking forward to savoring all the delicious food that will be offered throughout the day, especially the Cowboy Steak station during cocktail hour! He is excited to celebrate this special day with everyone!
Jess
Maid of Honor
Valerie has the privilege of knowing Jess her entire life, as Jess happens to be the bride's older sister. When Jess isn't spoiling her pets - Maple, Betty, and Toast - or designing graphics for work (or for the wedding), she enjoys anything related to dinosaurs, space, and traveling! She is known as the Dancing Queen, so you can expect to hear an ABBA song during the wedding festivities!
Matt S.
Best Man
Matt is Nick's younger brother, who's an engineer student by profession and a self-taught musician by passion. When he's not jamming out, he spends his time collecting/listening to vinyl records, fishing, playing video games, shooting pool, and playing golf. Matt will likely be found at the bar or near the food on the wedding day, as he is excited to enjoy some rum and cokes and eat throughout the night.
Nat
Maid of Honor
First of all, yes, there is a cow in the photo! However, it is not Nat's cow, at least not yet. Nat, Valerie's younger middle sister, is studying physical therapy and only watches sports to play "name that injury." When she isn't studying for school, you can find her hanging out with farm animals or watching Bluey with her cat, Catniss. When the middle sisters are together, it's impossible to predict what will happen next! As a passionate Swiftie, she is thrilled to dance and sing the night away with her better half #WeddingEra
Andrew
Groomsman
If you have ever witnessed Andrew and Nick's interaction, you know their bromance is genuine. It is so real that Valerie often feels like a third wheel whenever they hang out. Who would have thought that working for the town of Denville would create such a strong bond! When Andrew is not busy playing golf or Magic the Gathering, he is tracking details as a data analyst. You can catch Andrew on the dance floor performing The Carlton during the reception!
Teresa
Maid of Honor
Teresa is Valerie's youngest sister (but the tallest) and whose friends are responsible for getting Nick to ask Valerie out. She is a nurse by profession who loves traveling, reading books, and going snowboarding. When she is not working, she likes to unwind in comfortable clothing and either sleep or eat, which is quite understandable. Teresa is thrilled about her sister's big day! She is eagerly anticipating seeing her sister walk down the aisle, spending time with family, dancing, and of course, indulging in delicious food.
Mike N.
Groomsman
The groom and Mike have been friends since elementary school and share a common interest in playing card games, especially Magic The Gathering. Till this day, they continue to play cards whenever they get a chance. When Mike is not working as an engineer, he likes to spend his time camping, hiking, traveling, or relaxing. He's excited to enjoy all the delicious food and open bar throughout the day!
Gabby
Bridesmaid
The bride and Gabby go back to elementary school! This childhood best friend duo is always down to have a good time, whether it's a trip to Target, Gabby dragging the bride to Ultra or Sephora, or them grabbing lunch! She is a big fan of Joe Burrow, and when she's not working as an RN taking care of NICU babies, she enjoys crocheting animals or spending time with her dogs. The groom and Gabby bond over their love for the Jonas Brothers, and the bride has agreed they can play a Jo-bro song or two during the night.
Matt I.
Groomsman
Matt and the groom first met while studying in the RT program at the County College of Morris. They supported each other through clinicals and their board exams! Nowadays, they work together at Morristown Medical Center. When Matt isn't working, he enjoys camping, hiking, and attending Devil's hockey games and concerts. Matt is excited to be part of all the festivities and is honored to stand next to the groom on his special day!
Paola
Bridesmaid
Paola and the bride first met while studying in the OTA program at Raritan Valley Community College. Their friendship blossomed beyond the classroom, and they went on many adventures together, including a trip to Disney! When Paola is not going to school or working, she enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with her brother's dog. She is eager to witness the couple exchanging their vows and to capture cherished memories at the photo booth!
