Wedding Party

Ashley Wolff

Maid of Honor

I met Emily at ECU when we were on Black Pearl together. I knew I needed to become friends with her since she was so friendly and welcoming to me! Since then, we have made countless memories through frisbee and fun times! I appreciate her kindness, loyalty, and warmheartedness that she has shown in our friendship throughout the years. I am so excited to finally see Nick and Emily get married!

Best Man

Nick and met through mutual friends & Scouts nearly a decade and a half ago. Nick is one of my oldest and dearest friends, and is fondly referred to as "brudder Nick", which has transcended being simply just a nickname to true brotherhood. Over the years we got to know one another well through experiences both in-person during college during summers/holidays and online (living states apart). One of the biggest reasons I moved to Raleigh, NC a few years ago was having the opportunity to spend time with Nick, whether it be going on an adventure or simply chilling at one of our houses. Nick is an infinite wellspring of tales, being an excellent storyteller, and of advice & wisdom despite his young age. Myself, and Rebecca, are honored to be a part of Nick & Emily's special day and I look forward to seeing him blossom in this new chapter of his life.

I’ve known Emily since she joined ECU's club women's ultimate team in 2018! Over the years, we’ve grown close on and off of the field and I’ve been lucky enough to have watched Nick come into Emily’s life from the very beginning. I am so happy she has found her soulmate and lifelong other half to go through all of life’s adventures with. It's been an honor to witness their journey together and I’m so excited to be a part of their special day!

Best Man

Nick and I met at ECU playing ultimate frisbee together. After this, we both developed a love for disc golf and Letterkenny and as a result became very close. We lived together in Greenville for about 3 years where I got the pleasure of getting to see Nick and Emily’s relationship develop firsthand. It has been an honor and a treat getting to know Nick and Emily, whether it be playing ultimate frisbee, disc golf, or watching Carolina Hurricanes hockey. I’m excited to be a part of Nick and Emily’s big day!

I’ve known Emily since we did dance together when we were 3. Since then, we’ve been together through tee-ball, band, break ups, graduation, and going off to college. No matter how far apart we are, I will always call her my best friend. Emily has the biggest heart of anyone I know, and anyone who gets to call her a friend is lucky. I am so proud of the amazing, caring, beautiful woman you have grown up to be. I am also glad that you have found someone to do life with who sees you as all of those things.

When I met a Nick as a random new kid in the first week of 7th grade I had no idea that I would be meeting one my bestest friends, who I would still be hanging out and spending time with over a decade later. From having the same classes in middle school to running track to boy scouts. Making memories all throughout high-school, playing games, running around in the woods playing manhunt. Having Nick race his old truck down Mt Jefferson and about set his brakes ablaze. And that's all from the first 5 years of knowing him. To many more years and memories, more golf courses, and slinging more discs. Congratulations Nick, looking forward to being a part of this exciting new section of your life.

I met Emily shortly after she started teaching at Morrisville! We bonded over her ECU mask and we've been friends ever since! Not too long after, my now husband and I got to meet Nick and we loved him too! Emily and Nick are the kindest, most caring, and adventurous couple around. So excited for them both!

Before I met Nick in college, I heard stories of Nick. Stories of how much fun he is to be around and of all the great adventures you found yourself in when he was involved. Once I met him in person and we became roommates, I learned the truth of those stories first hand. But I also learned there was a lot more to him than those stories. I learned that he is a very smart and passionate individual, who cares a lot about those around him. I also learned that we share similar passions in our love for the Carolina Hurricanes and recreational activities such as disc golf and beer ball. Through Nick, I have met other amazing people like him, people who I call friends today. He has been a positive influence on my life and I consider it a privilege to be his friend.

Emily and I first met at work! I loved her laid back style and how she was with her students. We started hanging out outside of school and the rest is history! Love having Emily as not only an amazing coworker, but also an amazing friend!

Growing up, Ashe county felt like a pretty quiet small town. That is, until my 7th grade year when Lanfranchi came on scene. Nick showed us to live life to the fullest, to not be afraid of an adventure, and to always tell the truth when police get involved. The memories have been great with Nick and I look forward to the ones we make in his next chapter.

Rebecca Apolinario

Bridesmaid

Emily and I met through our partners. When my husband and I moved to Wake County at the beginning of 2022, Emily and Nick welcomed us to the area with open arms. Emily and I became close friends as we began to hang out more often from exploring the area, going out for drinks and trying new places for dinner. We even took a trip to Charlotte to enjoy an outdoor concert from one of her favorite groups which truly brought us closer as friends. Emily always brings the best vibes to any situation! She’s always the smile that lights up the room, the girl you can talk to about anything and not feel judged, and the friend who will always answer your call when you need someone. A true kind soul! Truly honored to be able to support her on her day and celebrate her union with Nick ☺️

I met Emily around 2 years ago at our apartment complex’s pool. We had a discussion about how I wanted to go into teaching elementary school and how she taught at Morrisville Elementary. We lost contact for around a year until I decided to begin my journey at MES (not remembering that Emily said she worked there). Within my first 2 months of working I knew that I knew Emily from somewhere but couldn’t quite figure out how. After talking with co-workers, I remembered that I had met her a year prior and somehow our paths had brought us together! Emily and Nick have become our closest friends ever since!

I was fortunate enough to ride the same bus as Nick in middle school where I -very quickly- learned how hilarious and genuine he was. Over the years I learned just how hard of a worker he was, and always admired his determination. Through thick and thin you could always count on Nick being there with a smile and joke. I’m lucky to know Nick, and even luckier to be his friend.
