The Bride and Groom have each asked four of their closest pals to stand by their side when they say "I Do." These friends and family members have taken time to share about their unique friendships...

Madison Bradner - Maid of Honor

I’ve known Enya since she was rocking in the womb, playing in the sandbox and doing all the things little sisters do! Growing up side by side, as we navigated our journey from childhood to adulthood, our relationship became a cherished constant. We’ve shared countless moments of laughter, supported each other through challenges, and celebrated victories together. So when she asked me to stand beside her on her big day… I told her I could not be more (Maid Of) Honored!

Katie Moss - Matron of Honor

Enya has been like a sister to me ever since we grew close in middle school. I think we first bonded over a shared interest in pre-teen shenanigans and boys.

That bond quickly grew into so much more! It’s been such a delight watching her find so much happiness with the love of her life, who has also become one of my closest friends. Can’t wait to watch Nick and Enya say “I do!”

Alicia Wright - Bridesmaid

When I first met Enya, she was a “friend of a friend of a friend.” I saw her as a gorgeous, bubbly, vibrant woman (and I wasn’t wrong). It didn’t take many girls nights for us to realize how well we clicked, and soon our friendship made it out of the group chat. Over the past 8 years we have made countless incredible memories and we’ve also seen each other grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. Even living 1,000 miles apart, we never miss a beat. Our friendship is strong not because it is convenient, but because we actively want to be apart of each others lives. I am happy to have upgraded Enya’s title in my stories to “my favorite lovely lady”. She has brought endless light into my life, and I am eternally grateful. Knowing I’ll be standing by her side, watching her fill with joy as her deserving and loving partner becomes her husband, is the best gift I could have asked for.

Claire Frazier - Bridesmaid

Enya is more than a cousin; she's a sister, my lifelong friend. We've shared childhood adventures, navigated teenage growing pains, and faced adult decisions, growing up side by side. Always a year ahead, I've admired the way she paves her path, looking to her for guidance, like a map for my own journey. My aunt and uncle's home was my home growing up, and no matter where she goes, that's home too. Being part of this special day as our family expands is an incredible honor. Watching childhood fantasies unfold into life's beautiful reality is an exciting journey.

Brett Nichols - Best Man

Nick and I have been friends for over 20 years. During that time we have been through a lot together. Over the years I have always been able to rely on him through the good, bad and ugly. Even moving away for school or Nick going on a trip around the world in Elementary school didn’t deteriorate our friendship, we would just pick up where we left off. I’m so proud to have a friend as great as he is and I’m not sure where I would be now without him. So when he asked me to be his best man it was impossible to say no. I believe he truly found an amazing partner in Enya and I can’t wait to stand next to him as they say their vows.

Eamonn Collins - Groomsman

Nick and Eamonn met in Miss Jackson's 3rd/4th grade split class at Arrowhead Elementary School and were quickly fastened at one another's hip. For much of elementary, middle, and high school it seemed that if Eamonn wasn't at Nick's house, then Nick was at Eamonn's. The two spent so much time with each other that Eamonn's mom confused Nick for her own son (and like, not in a figurative way, she called him Eamonn). The two spent their time making movies, producing such hits as The Potatoalizer and A Stop Motion Lego Movie, crafting point and click adventures on PowerPoint, and playing video games. For a few years around college, Eamonn and Nick saw each other rarely, but whenever they reunited it was as if no time had passed and they quickly reverted to cracking jokes and being generally ridiculous. Now, Eamonn couldn't be more happy to be a part of Nick and Enya's big day!

Aaron Moss - Groomsman

I have had the pleasure of getting to know my dearest Nicky Gumdrops since he and Enya started dating, many moons ago. Our relationship may have started off a little rough (not at all because I would grab Nicks booty all the time, even though he repeatedly asked me to stop), but throughout those years, it truly blossomed into something special. We have lived together in two homes, but our friendship was truly tested in between those living situations when Nicky moved all the way to Eugene, OR and didn’t bring me with him. But that didn’t stop us! We endured and became even closer to one another after our many trips back and forth. Having grown up just down the street from Enya, and getting to know her better through her best friend, and my wife, I always knew she would end up with a spectacular guy, but I never would’ve thought he’d be as amazing as Nick! He is truly my significant brother for life.

Darrek Monaco - Groomsman

Nick and I met in early grade school but somehow, we just barely missed each other in our earlier years. I was riding the bus home from high school when Nick asked me if I wanted to hang for a bit at his house. Little did I know that it would be the beginning of a truly special friendship. Soon we were spending many late weekend nights getting up to all sorts of soda and doughnut fueled shenanigans. I treasure all the memories made along the way and look forward to many more to come. Nick and Enya are some of the coolest folks you can meet and it is such a joy to see these two amazing people celebrate their love!
