Michelle is the bride's sister! Cole is the bride and groom's brother-in-law! Michelle and Alexandra met Cole and Nicholas during college. They hung out almost every day until Nicholas decided to graduate before the rest of the gang. We went to college and found our forevers.

Lexi and Sean are the couple's best friends. Lexi and Alexandra have been friends since 2015. They grew up together and were roommates for a bit in college! Sean and Nicholas became friends through Alexandra and Lexi. It has been adventure after adventure ever since.

Selena is the best friend of the bride. Selena and Alexandra met in 2020 at Grand Canyon University. They became best friends instantly. No matter the distance, these two were practically inseparable.

Justine is the best friend of the bride. Justine and Alexandra met during an info session for a club. After the session, they walked together to the coffee shop and from then on it became endless study sessions, laughs, and sleepovers. Justine gave Alexandra the honor of being the Godmother to her two sons.

Bobbie Rose is best friends with the bride. Her and Alexandra met back in 2017 at college orientation. They clicked instantly and became close. Bobbie Rose and Alexandra may be opposites in some interests/hobbies, but you know what they say...opposites attract!

Riza is one of the bride’s best friends. These two met back in 2019 taking biology classes together. Since then, they have been inseparable. From crying to dancing in the kitchen till 3am, they have been through so much and their friendship continues to blossom.

Milene and Alexandra met through work in January 2024. These two are more alike than you could imagine. Once they began working with one another, they became best friends instantly. Half the time they can finish each other’s sentences. From having the same interests to giving each other one look and die laughing, these two are best friends for sure.

Madelyn is Alexandra's greenie weenie. Her green bean if you will. Madelyn and Alexandra, since March 2023, have been best friends. They met through work and inseparable isn't even a word to describe their relationship. They have grown so close and have helped each other through big steps in each of their lives.

This little girl will always bring a smile to your face. Alexandra met Ava back in 2023 when Madelyn brought her to work one day. From then on, Alexandra knew Ava was special. She can make you laugh with the random things she says, make you feel so loved with wanting to hangout with you and tell you she loves you. This little girl has a piece of Nicholas and Alexandra's hearts.

Chantel is the best friend/cousin of the bride. Both Chantel and Alexandra's moms were best friends until the very end. Chantel and Alexandra grew up together since 2012. They became family friends from church and have been close ever since.

Steph is one of the bride’s best friends. We met through Nick and his cousin, whose name is also Nick. We began talking and realized we had so much in common. From aesthetics to hobbies, we began hanging out more and more. We honestly became inseparable. To say we are two peas in a pod would be an understatement.

Everett (also known as Chicken Wing and Little one) is the nephew of the bride and groom. He is Alexandra's forever chicken wing, no matter what anyone says. Nicholas and Alexandra adore and love him very much. The adventures will never stop!

Martin is Nicholas's oldest and only brother. Martin met Nicholas back in November of 98 at a hospital in Melrose Park. Martin and Nicholas bond over food, music, and sports. Both continue to make memories while remembering the past.

"Larsen" as Nicholas calls him by, met each other through a former friend at the age of 3. Larsen and Nicholas's friend group grew into 5 with the addition of Dakota, Justin, and John. You will typically hear Larsen and Nicholas either quoting Spongebob or talking about food.

Growing up, you would not see John without cousin Danny and Nicholas. All 3 boys would be either wrestling with their other cousins, cooking, or playing outside. Every Sunday, Nicholas goes over to Nana's house and makes a pot of gravy (yes it's gravy and not sauce) with his cousin Johnny and would either play cards or watch vintage movies (typically universal monster movies).

If I can describe Danny in one word, I would say memorable. To this day, Nicholas and his other groomsman cousins could tell you stories about Danny and how hilarious they were. Danny was so invested into wrestling, he bashed a clock (yes an actual glass clock) over his head and slit his finger to show his toughness. Can't wait to see what memories are made for this wedding.

You wanna know anything wrestling, Alex is your guy. Alex was the bassist to Nicholas, John, and Danny's band, Electric Faith. Alex, along with Martin and Larry were always going against Danny, John, and Nicholas in any event the 6 of them were in. If you ever see Nicholas walking into a room that Alex is in, more than likely you will hear Alex say just like aunt Stella "Nigol".

Sports and food are two big topics both Nicholas and Larry love to talk about. Larry loves to make jokes to Nicholas about being a Boston sports fan, but growing up in Chicago. It is a daily thing for Larry to send Nicholas a snapchat video of him either cooking up some dish with pork, making homemade pizza, or deep frying fish. It is food that brings us together.

Dakota and Nicholas met through Dakota's brother Cody. Dakota was the reason why Nicholas wanted to get into working out. Dakota introduced Nicholas to Rich's Gym back in 6th grade (where Nicholas still works out at). Anything Dakota and Nicholas did, majority of the time it was physical. From playing any sport in the backyard with the other friends, wrestling in junior high school, working out, or even climbing camelback mountain in college, it was always physical with Dakota.

Nicholas and John met through Dakota during John and Dakota's church group. Nicholas and John's friendship grew quick and strong to the point where Nicholas can still just walk in John's house without an invitation. Nicholas use to go hunting with John in southern Illinois. It was always a competition with John and Nicholas to see who can out do the other. John would tell you that he always was the winner, but we all know who was.
