Nick Dehmer
Best Man
Nick Dehmer is Alex’s younger brother who has seen Alex in every phase of his life and been consistent and supportive through all of it.

He currently lives in Seattle and is working while completing his masters degree in therapy and social work.

Steve Hohman
Officiant
Tess and Alex are thrilled to have Tess’s uncle, Steve, be the officiant at their wedding. With his vibrant personality and 20+ years of professional acting experience, the couple trusts him implicitly to represent their union and declare them husband and wife. Steve’s children are also in the wedding as the ring bearer and flower girl. He is so excited for his family to show up for his “nieces to pieces”.
