Jacob Nichols - Best Man
Jacob is the older brother of Isaac by seven years, and the gap couldn't feel smaller. Growing up, and still very much today, Isaac looks up to him spiritually, emotionally, and physically (only by a few inches). Jacob lives in Minnesota and works as a civil engineer. He is married to Erin, who will also be in attendance.
Lexie Petersen - Maid of Honor
Lexie is the older sister of the bride by 5 years. Lexie was the sister to look up to while Sarah was the annoying little kid who wanted to copy her. Now that they're older, they have become great friends, and Sarah only annoys her sometimes. She currently lives in Jackson, Wyoming, as a middle school math teacher.
