Amber & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Carly Daugherty
Matron of Honor
Amber's best friend since high school - the forever kind of friendship. Before they were even old enough to drive a car, they had determined that they'd be each other's maid/matron of honor someday. The bond with Carly runs deeper than friendship - she is family. Through all of life's journeys, Carly has been there...and she always will be.
Nicole Willea
Bridesmaid
Amber's sister-in-law by marriage, and simply her sister by heart. Amber doesn't have any blood sisters, but Nicole makes up for that and more! She is everything a sister should be: caring, kind, thoughtful, and most of all...FUN! It's impossible to have a bad day with Nicole around.
Sarah Kroetz
Bridesmaid
Amber and Sarah met early in their careers while working nightshift together. They instantly bonded over their shared sense of humor and love of laughing. Every shift, Sarah would spend her lunch break in Amber's department to visit her, bring her snacks, and joke around. Many years and life changes later, Amber and Sarah no longer work at the same hospital...but the laughs have never stopped! The only thing they love more than being silly is their friendship.
Elizabeth Sathre-Whitman
Bridesmaid
Amber trained Liz when she was a new nurse, but Liz ended up being the one who taught Amber. Liz taught her what an honest, compassionate, and selfless friendship looks like. Working together in the emergency department brings a unique level of understanding to their friendship - the kind where they don't even have to say a word, they just get it. Liz is the kind of friend who feels like home.
Vina Ryan
Bridesmaid
Amber and Vina initially became friends over their shared passion for their dogs. Now, they remain friends because of the love that grew in their hearts. They see each other weekly, talk to each other daily, and miss each other in the rare moments that this routine is interrupted. Vina is an exceptionally adventurous, generous, and caring friend...and thanks to Beau and Reka, she is a friend for life.
Michael Zanto
Best Man
Mike is Nick's brother and built-in best friend. Their relationship is proof that a brother's love runs deep. They cheer for each other during the highs, and pick each other up during the lows. And for all the moments in between, there are no two brothers who have more fun than Nick and Mike.
Adam Willea
Groomsman
Adam is Amber's big brother. Adam was the second man to ever love Amber, next to her father. He fulfilled his duties as a protector throughout their childhood and into adulthood...from holding Amber's hand when crossing the street to granting approval of her future husband. She looks up to him, and he looks out for her. They share all of the same interests, talents, humor, and thoughts, making them both siblings and best friends.
Clayton Brackett
Groomsman
Clayton is one of Nick’s dearest friends, the fire to his gasoline! If you know one of these guys, you likely know the other. Their bond is strong and their many memories together include racing dirtbikes, countless travels, and numerous garage projects created together. Clayton has taught Nick a lot about building, motors, problem-solving, and life. Many of Nick’s favorite experiences in life have been spent with Clayton, and there are surely many yet to come!
Thomas Zemaitis
Groomsman
Tom is one of Nick’s longest friendships, withstanding the test of time! Not only is this one of his oldest friendships, but has also proven to be among the truest. Nick admires Tom’s character and integrity. Tom is the person you can call any day, any time, and he will be there to help. They share a passion for going fast, whether it be on 2 wheels or 4!
Jacob Thomas
Groomsman
Jake is one of Nick’s closest friends, and has been for many years. They love to tinker on projects together, and in doing so, Nick has learned a lot from Jake. In addition to numerous hands-on skills, Jake has shared his strong work ethic with Nick. Jake is a dedicated farmer, and his devotion to his work is something Nick admires. Amber often receives the text, “Stopping at Jake’s on the way home,” as Nick always makes time to check in with his buddy, no matter how busy life gets.
