Nikita & Matthew
Wedding Party
Melissa Giles
Maid of Honor
Melissa is the girl version of a soul-mate I never knew I needed. We love the same music, “dark” tv shows, and get weirdly intense stomach aches. There’s no stronger bond than eating with someone, unbuttoning your pants, then rolling on the floor because your stomachs hurts so bad. From being my “big sis” in our sorority, to my best friend in life, I seriously don’t know what i’d do without her.
Dane Henshaw
Best Man
Wait who? Oh ya that guy! What can i say. Ive never had the pleasure of insulting someone so much for so long and vice versa. Theres not a single person I’ve been friends with since the 7th grade to now. We’ve slung harsh jokes from our skateboards, through middleschool and highschool at eachother, and even briefly put one another down as roomates. Im excited to see what choice words we can sneak in at each other while you stand next to me during my wedding.
Jocelyne Tran
Maid of Honor
What have Jocelyne & I not done together? We’ve gone to school together, worked together, and traveled all over together. She was even there when Matt proposed to me! There’s no one else I’d almost get stuck in Mexico for than her. She’s my shoulder to cry on, the person I vent to, and probably the only person who loves the minions and trolls movie as much as I do.
Adam Auberry
Best Man
Optimism is all you need to be Adams friend. Hes nice to everyone and if you already have a positive outlook on life, Adam will be there to show you an even brighter side of everything. (And also the most sick and twisted version that you didnt ask for). Its impossible to have a boring time with Adam because if its ever silent he will just bust out in rhymes and start laying down a freestyle that you would never expect to hear from a tall white guy wearing glasses. Im nervous to see if his best man speech is really a speech or a rap. But either way im sure it will great.
Alana Moran
Bridesmaid
Alana was my first friend when I moved to California. Somehow, we’ve managed to maintain our best-friendship through her move to Florida and back, and back to Florida again.(Thank you, facebook!) Most of my best memories from high school involve sleep overs at the Allen house, toilet papering boys and eating twinkies. I got to see her marry the man of her dreams, and am excited to have her see me marry mine!
Jon Cross
Groomsman
Don’t ever worry about planning things to do or being bored. Just invite Jon. It doesnt matter if he only knows 2 people at a party, he will somehow become the loudest and funniest (or at least he thinks) person in the room. Theres never a time that he wont mention all of the crazy things that we’ve got into, which is a great way to realize hes a friend you can always have a blast with.
Chelsea Russell
Bridesmaid
We’ve spent many years getting asked if we were twins, to which we’d respond with the most disgusted and disappointed look you could imagine. When we finally grew out of that, we got asked if she was the older sister (even tho I’ve got almost 3 years on her). But the more we grow into our own individuals (looks wise), the more we get in common (personality wise). There are some things you can’t share with anyone but your sister (like our secret code words) and I’m so glad to share the best day of my life with her next to me.
Kyle Hernandez
Groomsman
Getting to know kyle is very easy. He will tell you everything he likes (or just display them like his cat shirts) he is always down to do something, whether its just coming over to watch a movie, or going out for drinks and coming back to wreck your bathroom. If you're lucky enough to become good friends with Kyle, just make sure he doesnt stumble into your bathroom and take the doorknob with him, locking himself in (and you out of your only bathroom)
Tiara Barnhill
Bridesmaid
We’ve been through everything together for as long as I could remember. From walking to & from school everyday, first crushes (remember ‘strawberry’?), and taking literally every class together our first semester of college because we just couldn’t figure out what to do on our own. She’s been my comfort person through the scariest/hardest/most exciting moments of my life, so it’s only natural she’d be there as I embark in this next crazy adventure.
Sammuel Morton
Groomsman
Ive heard rumors that we kinda look alike.(I just dont see it) But regardless, I know I wouldn’t be the person I am today if it wasnt for my not so little brother. He may think he can beat me up now (yet to be proven) but I know I could never actually hit him. Except on accident when id beg him not to cry or tell on me! Im hoping those days never catch up to me because I'm not sure I want to find out who's the stronger brother anymore! I doubt he will ever read this so dont tell him I said any of this...
Alex Morton
Bridesmaid
Alex has been a huge supporter of not only ‘Matt and I’ but of ‘me’ since day 1. We instantly got along thanks to our love of gossiping & wine. When I complain about Matt’s weird quirks, she totally gets them. She truly is the big sister I always wanted, and am finally getting!
Braileigh & Xaylin
Flower Girl & Ring Bearer
Braileigh & Xaylin are the two cuties who made us both aunt’s and uncles for the first time, both by blood & by marriage. Xaylin completely has Nikis heart, and Braileigh and Matthew have so many similarities, it’s almost scary! These two have an incredible way of putting a smile on our faces, even from 2000 miles away. We are so ready to have them steal the show at our wedding, because trust us, these cuties totally will!
