Wedding Party
Briana
"The Man of Honor"
As the baby sister, Briana is Nicole’s OG BFF and if there is one person on this planet who knows the true Nicole it’s Briana. After living together for nearly 20 years creating memories and getting into trouble, it’s safe to say that Briana knows Nicole better than anyone. We love Briana for her huge heart, cheeky sense of humor and ability to find the funny side of every situation. And let’s not forget she makes the best sidekick - whatever the event (be it target runs or game nights) she’s always down for a good time. She also has our vote for all-around best dancer - and with moves like hers, we have no doubt she’ll be the first one up on the dance floor at our wedding!
Diana
"The Ride or Die"
Diana is Nicole’s oldest and dearest friend. They met at 10 years old and it’s been so long that honestly Nicole doesn't remember life without Diana in it. They have shared many of life’s biggest moments - from middle school, to high school and navigating adulthood, they have been each other's biggest cheerleaders. Diana was there when Nicole needed dating advice, a shopping buddy, a secret keeper or a shoulder to cry on. Diana has been a part of so many of Nicole’s favorite memories that it only makes sense for her to play this special role on our big day. Diana is one of the most loyal, generous, and authentic people we know and we couldn’t be happier to have her standing by our side!
Viri
"The Partner In Crime"
Viri is Nicole’s honorary confidante - hands down the girl she’s calling if a witness is needed to testify that “yes, your honor, Nicole was with me the whole day” when in fact the opposite was true. Doesn’t mean Viri isn’t honest to a fault - always telling the truth even when you don’t want to hear it - but that goes out the window when it comes to standing up for a friend. Yes, Viri may seem small but there’s no one better to have by your side as she’s always ready to run into danger without a second thought - laughing maniacally all the way there. Who knew this ball of fire would turn out to be one of Nicole’s best friends getting ready to stand by her side on our wedding day? Viri did!
Amber
"The Big Sister"
Sure, she’s younger than Nicole, but there is no denying that Amber has her vote for big sister of the group forever. From the moment they met Amber has made Nicole feel like family, constantly giving the best advice in the universe and always there offering words of encouragement that feed the soul. On paper they are coworkers but in the heart where it matters they are (as Amber would put it) “sisters from another mister”. Amber has an infectious laugh and can always crack us up with her silly, quirky personality. Hands down she is more fun than anything we know - including bubble wrap! On top of that she cries at the drop of a hat so who better to join us while we cry our eyes in front of everyone?!
Kyle
"The Best Man"
Kyle has been Ryan’s best friend since birth - maybe due to the fact that they’re brothers! Since the beginning they have done everything together - playing little league sports, camping on family trips, staying up late playing video games - the list goes on! Through it all Kyle has been by Ryan’s side for every accomplishment - both big and small - sharing the best of memories. These brothers couldn’t be more different but the one thing they’ve always shared in common is their love for family. And where Ryan may need some convincing, Kyle is always down for a good time! No doubt Kyle has been the best part of Ryan’s childhood and so of course it only makes sense that he be a big part of our wedding as the best man. All in all, we are honored to call Kyle our brother!
Erik
"The Wingman"
Ryan and Erik first met in college attending Cal State Fullerton. During their freshman orientation they quickly bonded over their shared passion for soccer and business. Erik has been able to bring Ryan out of his shell like no other friend has and is who Ryan has to thank for being his “wing-man” when trying to win Nicole over at the start of their relationship. They had almost every class together in college and shared weekly “date-nights” and dinners with Ryan’s grandparents together - more often than not Nicole felt like the third-wheel! All in all, Erik is very loyal, honest, and driven - all qualities of which Ryan looks for in a lifelong friend. Whether he’s talking your ear off or cracking jokes, one thing is for sure, Erik will be bringing a lot of energy to the party!
Kevin
"The Best Friend"
Kevin is not only Ryan’s oldest friend - he’s the first! They met while attending elementary school together and like most little kids found out they shared several of the same hobbies and that was enough for them to band together as best friends for life. As they have grown up together, so too has their friendship but one thing has stayed the same and that’s their love for video games. According to Ryan, Kevin makes the best duo partner in the gaming world as well as the real one, and according to Nicole “thank god or else they’d never venture outside.” All jokes aside, their pastimes always include discussing favorite topics such as finances or real estate and Ryan has Kevin to thank for some pretty great life advice. Kevin is a great addition to our wedding party and we can’t wait to celebrate our big day with him by our side!
