Nicole & Zachary
Wedding Party
Naomi Thompson
Maid of Honor
As the oldest sister of the bride, Naomi never fails to give the best big sis advice and a couch to crash on. Naomi and Nikki love to bond (...or maybe fight?) over their love of collegiate football and watching other people renovate their homes while saying out loud, "We could totally do that!"
Natalie Thompson
Maid of Honor
The designated lead singer of the Thompson Sister Trio, Natalie shows her love by flawlessly harmonizing along to all of the songs Nikki pretends to know the words to. Having shared a bedroom for most of their childhood, these sisters were silent partners in crime that have since graduated to less chaotic adventures (mostly sending funny cat videos back and forth).
Miranda Warchol
Bridesmaid
As the groom's sister, Miranda is the reason Zach's style and gift selections have continued to impress Nikki over the years. Miranda possesses all of the creativity between the two Warchol kids, proven by her artwork and thoughtful gifts. Nikki and Miranda love to spend time wandering stores and dreaming about how they would design their homes, all while explaining to Zach the importance of an intentional yet effortless aesthetic.
Rachel Roher
Bridesmaid
Having met through their sorority, Rachel and Nikki really bonded when they complained about their executive board roles together (which seemed so important at the time). After graduating and continuing to live together, they have learned each other's deepest, darkest secrets - including just how late they can stay up binging reality TV, or how many trips to different discount clothing stores they can make in one week.
Grace Rex
Bridesmaid
When Grace's little and Nikki's big left their sorority at the same time, it only made sense for the pair to team up as they had already bonded over musicals and late night trips to secure Wendy's infamous chicken nuggets. When Nikki suggested a spur of the moment trip to New York City in college, Grace asked zero questions and jumped right in. Rachel, Grace and Nikki love retelling the same stories about their trips to this day, and plan future adventures in between sips of wine and discussing current Taylor Swift news.
Megan Bara
Bridesmaid
Best friends since eighth grade, Nikki and Megan have supported each other through bad style phases, boy drama, and AP classes. Inseparable to the point of Megan's father gifting Nikki with their family name and crest on a sweatshirt, the pair were obviously roommates freshman year when they both decided to attend Ohio State. Despite living in different states now, Megan remains one of Nikki's best friends, always providing the best book recommendations and craft ideas.
Mackenzie Bell
Bridesmaid
Mackenzie and Nikki found themselves becoming fast friends after each landing as role dancing in their high school's spring musical. Mackenzie will take a trip anywhere, whether it is to Columbus for less than 24 hours to celebrate the bride's 21st birthday, or to all the way to Spain to teach kiddos English. No matter how long it has been since they have seen each other, the pair can fall back in step as if they are still chorus girls or humble chimney sweeps on stage.
Anthony Pacella
Best Man
A fellow Industrial and Systems Engineering graduate, Zach and Anthony spent countless hours together in and out of the classroom. Ironically, neither currently works in this field but continue to dream big about starting their future business together. Anthony's status of Best Man is not just because of the great job he did as Cam's, but because he understands the importance of Jersey Shore and all that it stands for.
Anthony Colella
Groomsman
Zach and Tony never had one class together at Boardman High School; their friendship began after Tony transferred to OSU sophomore year. Even though he is the best musician Zach will ever meet, Tony will never let his professional status get in the way of this friendship (built on greasy pizza).
Alex Passas
Groomsman
Zach and Alex have been friends & teammates since backyard football in 1st grade recess. Not as athletic as back in the day, they have resorted to being darts champions instead.
Cameron Aguilar
Groomsman
Zach and Cam met through Faith, the requisite party planner of the group. Zach initially thought Cam was older than the rest of the group due to his "dad tendencies," but he still somehow manages to be the most energetic among the friends.
Cory Thomas
Groomsman
After Cory moved to Boardman during middle school, Zach and Cory immediately bonded on the school bus over football, golf and Call of Duty: World at War.
Derek Pasquale
Groomsman
The other half of Team Sip, Derek shares Zach's love of mixed drinks and cheap fast food along with being the Guardian's #1 Fan.
Donald Kratofil
Groomsman
The third member of the gaming trio, Donny is known for his cool and calm demeanor on and off the League of Legends rift ... that is until the St. Louis Cardinals begin losing.
