Nicole & Paul
Wedding Party
Stephanie Johnson
Best Lady
Stephanie is not just a great lady, a great mom, and a great friend, but she's also Nicole's sister! What a gift to share growing up with a best friend. She stands out with her kindness, patience, and grace...just don't sneak around her room and read her diary (SORRY, SISTER!)
Benjy Ferree
Man of Honor
Benjy is a tremendous musician and a talented artist, but is perhaps best known for his (most likely) spot on impression of a young Pauly Vivari. The only thing you can think, when you think of Benjy, is precious :)
Jessica Laz
Best Lady
Jess and Nicole met in 2005 and quickly bonded over the trials and tribulations of the ladies from 'America's Next Top Model', cycle 3. She is a doer, a maker, a connector of friends and living proof that you meet the best people in bars.
Tariq Abdal-Haqq
Man of Honor
Tariq has a rich knowledge of velvet paintings and fine taste in vintage station wagons. He's a longtime friend of Paul's and an overall gem of a person.
Jane David
Best Lady
Jane and Nicole met as coworkers but morphed into soul sisters. Jane has an infectious curiosity for the world, a palpable bravery and an unmistakable individuality that are to be envied. The pair has been across the country and around the world and are actively trying to figure out how to become permanent residents of Bali.
Jason Saadian
Man of Honor
Jason has a free spirit that is a true inspiration. He also knows a lot about TSA regulations regarding carrying-on any freshly butchered meat you may want to travel with. Priceless!
Holly Tolino
Best Lady
How often do lifelong friendships arise from sorting through duffel bags of perm rods? That was the foundation of the friendship between Holly and Nicole, meeting the first day of hair school and being basically inseparable ever since. Holly's got humor, hot takes, creativity and countless stories--she's a queen!
Andy Trueheart
Man of Honor
Paul and Andy have been friends since high school and, while Andy now has a career and a family, (we're certain that) his greatest accomplishment was their band's star-turn performance at Twinbrook Community Center.
Olive Hernandez
Flower Girl
Olive is Nicole's amazing niece! She's a lover of animals and a builder of robots. We're honored that she can help us make this day more beautiful :)
Steamboat Willy
Ring Bearer
Willy is Nicole's new nephew! We're certain he will steal the show :)
Susan and Ted Wingo
Nicole's Lovely Parents
Susan and Ted are a couple of wild cards, who connected over a shared a love of the sea back in the swinging 70's. They've moved around the world, raised three children, and will out-dance the average wedding guest, so consider yourself warned. I couldn't be luckier to be loved by them :)
Debby and Bruce Vivari
Paul's Incredible Parents
Debby and Bruce are quite the smart and incredibly sweet duo and are always a joy to be around. They met at the office in the 70's, when Bruce set his new coworker Debby up on a date with his best friend; that didn't work out, so they decided to just get married themselves. They bonded over a mutual love of family, travel, theater, cooking, hiking, and forcing Paul to floss, and stayed at the same company for over forty years together before retiring to a busier life than when they were actually working. They continue to be an inspiration for us both and we always look forward to being in their company.
Florence Wingo
Honorary Best Lady Who Shan't be in Attendance
Florence may have considered coming, but she prefers the company of ladies and noped out of the whole affair when she heard that men were invited.
Jonas Vivari
Honorary Man of Honor Who Shan't be in Attendance
Jonas wishes Paul the best (OR DOES HE?!), but he truly hates to party.
