Aimee met Maddie in 2022 when she transferred to Iowa State, and the two quickly became inseparable. What started as a random roommate assignment turned into a lifelong friendship filled with endless laughs, deep talks, and unforgettable memories. Maddie has been one of Aimee’s biggest supporters through every chapter, and there’s no way she’d walk down the aisle without her by her side.

Aimee couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her biggest role model and best friend by her side — her mom. She’s been there through every step of life, offering unwavering love, support, and wisdom. Whether it was cheering her on in the hard times or celebrating all the wins, her mom has always been Aimee’s rock. Being her Mom of Honor is just one more special moment they’ll share, and one that means the world to Aimee.

Aimee’s 14-year-old niece, Sophia, is like a little sister to her. They share a close bond full of laughter, fun, and unforgettable memories. Always bright and full of energy, Sophia brings so much joy wherever she goes. Aimee is so happy to have Sophia standing beside her as a bridesmaid on this special day!

Alison is Aimee’s sister and one of her go-to people for support and fun. She’s caring, easygoing, and knows how to keep things light and positive. Aimee can’t wait to have Alison standing with her, sharing in all the excitement and love.

Abby is Aimee’s sister and longtime best buddy. They’ve been through it all together—laughs, crazy moments, and everything in between. Abby’s always there with a smile and good vibes, and Aimee’s so happy she’ll be right by her side on the big day.

Stella and Aimee have been best friends since 5th grade and have basically grown up together. From middle school memories to becoming teachers, they’ve shared every major milestone side by side. Stella just graduated from the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and is starting her teaching journey—just like Aimee. She’s the kind of friend who feels like family, and Aimee couldn’t imagine her wedding day without Stella by her side.

Brooklyn has been Aimee’s best friend since 4th grade, and they’ve been inseparable ever since. From childhood sleepovers to cheering each other on through big life moments, Brooklyn has always been a constant in Aimee’s life. She just graduated from UIC’s School of Architecture and is now crushing it in her master’s program. Aimee is beyond excited to have her by her side on such a special day.

Mitch and Nick met as freshmen at Iowa State after Nick joined Delta Upsilon, and they quickly hit it off over engineering classes and nights out at Outlaws. Originally from Council Bluffs and now living in Davenport, Mitch is the kind of guy who always has a dad joke ready and somehow makes it work. As Nick’s college roommate and one of his closest friends, he’s earned his spot as best man—dad jokes and all.

Jake is Nick’s older brother and lifelong opponent in just about every video game—though Nick will be the first to admit he’s been losing to him since day one (especially in Guitar Hero). They grew up playing games and sports together, and nowadays they’ve leveled up to bonding over craft beer and brewery hangouts. Whether it’s gaming, grilling, or grabbing a drink, Jake’s always been one step ahead—but Nick’s still glad to have him on his team.

Matt is Nick’s younger brother and lifelong competitor—whether it was card games, video games, or backyard sports, everything was a contest growing up. More recently, Matt followed in Nick’s footsteps by joining Delta Upsilon at Iowa State, giving them even more to bond over. He’s always been a great brother, a worthy opponent, and now, a fellow DU.

Colin has been a childhood friend and longtime teammate for countless baseball games growing up. When they weren’t on the field, they were shooting hoops at the park or just hanging out. After all those years of teamwork, Colin is a friend Nick is proud to have standing by his side on the big day—though he’s still waiting for Colin to throw a pitch that’s actually hittable.

Cameron and Nick bonded early as fellow Delta Upsilon brothers—and even more over their shared experience as loyal White Sox and Bears fans. Between the ups and downs of fandom, Cameron’s good humor and passion always keep things interesting. Nick’s lucky to have this dedicated friend standing by his side on the big day.

Kaleb was Nick’s college roommate and is easily one of the wildest—and most unpredictable—people he knows. But behind all the antics, Kaleb’s loyalty runs deep, and he’s always a hilarious presence to have around. Nick couldn’t imagine celebrating without him by his side.

Patrick and Nick bonded as fellow Delta Upsilon brothers—and quickly became the ultimate golf cart duo. Known for delivering the crispest high-fives around, Patrick’s the kind of guy who makes every moment better. Nick’s glad to have him along for the ride on the big day.

Casey and Nick connected through their fraternity and engineering classes, where plenty of laughs (and study sessions) were shared. Known for his goofy sense of humor and always being down to share a beer, Casey’s the kind of friend who keeps things fun. Nick’s happy to have him standing by his side on the big day.

Aimee’s adorable nephew, Elijah, will be stealing hearts as he carries the rings down the aisle. He’s full of personality, charm, and smiles — and we can’t wait for everyone to see him in his big moment!
