Thayer & Scott
Wedding Party
Travis Wiersma
Best Man
It is my great honor to have Trav as my best man. We first met in college, bonding over our shared love of sports. Life took us in different directions after graduation, but our friendship only grew stronger as we stayed in touch and kept tabs on each other. Trav and I have always enjoyed golfing together and taking trips to enjoy our favorite sports, he’s one of my favorite people to spend time with. He is truly one of the best people you could ever meet and a close, dear friend who has always been there for me.
Scott Armock
Groomsman
It is a privilege to also have my buddy, Scott Armock, as my best man. Even though we're both from Michigan, ironically we met through a game of hoops when we both lived in Denver nearly 20 years ago. It was then that I discovered he was dating (and later married) Jessica, whom I knew from college in Michigan. For two decades, Armock and I have shared countless games of basketball and rounds of golf. We never miss a college football or basketball season together, and through it all, he has become a very close friend and confidant. I love him like a brother and am grateful to have him by my side on our wedding day.
Morgan Nielsen Dennis
Matron of Honor
It is my absolute joy to have Morgan as my matron of honor, who is none other than my wonderful little sister. She is truly the queen of fun, always bringing laughter and light into my life. Her infectious joy and boundless energy is the glue that bonded our family together, and she has a special gift for making everyone around her smile. Not only is she an incredible sister, but she is also the best auntie to our kids, showering them with love and creating cherished memories. I am so honored to have her by my side on this special day.
Molly, Nora, & Presley Martin
Matron of Honor & Flower Girls
It is my greatest pleasure to have my best friend, Molly, as my matron of honor. She is the kind of friend that most people are fortunate to find once in a lifetime, if ever. She radiates the warmest, sweetest energy and to be in her presence is such a gift. We share a bond that goes beyond friendship, she’s my soul sister. Molly has been my best friend since fourth grade, standing by my side through all the seasons of life. Her unwavering support and love have made her my rock, always keeping me grounded while still keeping it fun. She’s also Scott’s number one fan, so we know he’s a keeper. I am deeply honored to have her and her two amazing daughters as our flower girls by our side on our wedding day. Fun fact: Addison was the flower girl in Molly's wedding eleven years ago . We saved her flower girl dress, always joking that maybe if they ever had a daughter, she could wear it at my wedding. This dress has survived countless moves and as luck would have it, eleven years later, Molly's youngest daughter, Presley Joy, will be four years old and wearing the same flower girl dress in our wedding that Addison wore for Molly's.
Charlee Nielsen
Flower Girl
The daughter of Thayer’s brother, Garrett, has brought endless love and joy into our lives. With her determined spirit and heart-melting charm, she lights up every room she enters. We are so excited to have her be a part of our wedding.
Addison Nielsen
Daughter of the Bride
It is with immense pride and joy that we have someone incredibly special standing by our side—Thayer's daughter, Addison. From Thayer- she has been with me through every step of my journey in adulthood, watching me grow and shaping so much of who I am today. Her love, support, and wisdom have been instrumental in making me the person that Scott fell in love with. Without her, I might not be here, ready to embark on this new chapter. She is my greatest joy and I am so proud to be her mom. Fun Fact: This picture is what prompted Scott to reach out to Thayer
Ryder Secory
Ring Bearer
It is our delight to have our son, Ryder, as our ring bearer. With his dad’s sense of humor and his mom’s kind soul, he brings so much joy and laughter into everyone's lives. He truly is our greatest joy and has shown us that we are a great team.
Kelly Secory VanderHoek
Officiant
We are honored to have someone very special officiating our ceremony. Some people have an aura about them where you can’t help but love them instantly, and Kelly is that person. She is the beloved sister of the groom, and she brings a unique warmth and joy to every moment. Kelly’s kindness shines through in everything she does, and she has a wonderful talent for finding joy in the small things in life. With a beautiful voice that captures hearts and a background as an English teacher, we are confident that she will lead us through this ceremony with grace and eloquence.
