For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Kellen, and I have the absolute privilege of being Nolan’s younger brother. I’ve known him my entire life, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better big brother. One of my favorite memories with Nolan goes back to our Little League days when we played on the same baseball team. That season was extra special because not only were we teammates, but our dad and grandpa were our coaches. It was an awesome time that I got to spend with my brother and our family. When Nolan asked me to be his best man it was an easy “yes”. I feel honored that he would even consider me for that. I’m excited to celebrate Maxine and Nolan in their big day!

Hi my name is Maddie and I first met Maxine 10 years ago in middle school when I stole the book she was reading all alone at the lunch table. She quickly became my best friend and we’ve been inseparable ever since. I wouldn’t be the same person I am today without her and I’m so excited to stand by her side on her special day.

Hey I’m Ryder, I met Nolan way back in kindergarten about 20 years ago. I have lots of good memories with Nolan, whether it was late night games with Friends or making Lego stop motion videos in elementary school. I’ve always considered Nolan to be my best friend so when he asked me to be his groomsman I had to say yes. Im glad him and Maxine found each other and I can’t wait to celebrate with them.

I'm Payton, I've know Maxine since she was the weird new girl in middle school, and being weird we hit it off, my favorite memories with max were our late nights getting dilly bars, going to the lake and dropping pizza on the bleachers and still eating it

I’ve known Nolan pretty much my entire life. Our moms are lifelong friends so he and I have been friends since we were babies. I have a million memories with Nolan but some of my favorites are all the hundreds of nights with our families watching videos and singing, playing “Rock band” with our brothers, air soft wars, bon fires, Crew, and most recently all of the get together with our “friend group”. I’m honored to be one of his groomsmen and am thankful for our friendship. I’m so glad he found Maxine… truly two amazing people!

I’m Taylor, I’m 24 and I am a 4th grade teacher. I met Maxine when she came to the cabin for the first time in 2022. I said yes to being a bridesmaid because I love Maxine and her and I have bonded over school and becoming teachers.

My name is Casey Waara, I’ve known Nolan for around 11 or 12 years now. My favorite memories of Nolan are late summer nights spent by the fire exchanging stories and enjoying life in the moment with one of my brothers. Honestly saying yes to being a groomsmen was an easy decision because he's a brother to me and being able to be there for the biggest day of his life was a no-brainer for me.

How I Met Nolan: Met him in the first week of high school rowing practice in summer of 2016 How long I’ve known Nolan: About 8.5 years Fav Memories with Nolan: 1. Our first time rowing a pair together at practice in the puget sound when we were the first to launch, made it less than 5 strokes out before suddenly we somehow ended up in the water within seconds. Come to find out someone (cough cough Nolan) forget to lock his oar in. To this date has to be the world record for fastest time to flip a boat 2. Traveling to San Fran together and going to the Stanford rowing camp our sophomore year summer (the site of Nolan’s lost retainers, fountain jumping through Stanford campus, and bonding through SF traffic) 3. The god tier set up of 4 Xboxes and 4 TVs with hella snacks and soda playing Halo Reach mini games and GTA V online horse race betting all night before needing to lead a rowing team run the following morning Why I said yes to being a groomsmen: “Been one of my closest friends since day one of highschool and have a years of memories doing lots of shenanigans. Would want nothing more than to be by his side on Maxine and his big day.”

hi im mercedes, cousin of Nolan. i am so honored to know maxine and that she is marrying my cousin!! my favorite memory of us has to be when i was helping her try on dresses i will forever cherish the moment!!!

My name Blake Haegele and I've known Nolan for almost 20 years now. Nolan and I have grown up together, so being able to stand up there by his side while he marries the love of his life is something that I answered yes to without hesitation. Even though I don't live in Washington anymore, Nolan is still one of the most important people in my life and I am grateful to be by his side, like how he's been by mine my entire life.

Hi my name is Sofia McGee. I’m cousins with Nolan. I met her through Nolan and loved her from the first day I met her. One thing I love doing with her is playing games and getting the opportunity to go dress shopping with her.

My name is Collin. I am Nolan's cousin and have known him basically his whole life. Looking forward to standing with him as he steps into the next chapter of his life.

Hi, I’m Marly and I know Maxine from my cousin Nolan. When Maxine asked me to be a bridesmaid, I felt truly honored. Even though Maxine and I have only recently started hanging out, it feels like we have known each other much longer. I appreciate how easy it is to talk to Max and how supportive of a friend she is. A favorite memory I have of her is one of the first times we hung out. We went out for pizza and drinks and she asked if we could continue the night at her place. I was honestly quite tired but wanted to hangout and get to know Maxine better. After going home to grab a few things I head over - I find Max out cold on the couch. I thought it was hilarious, especially as it’s something I would do too. It’s been great getting to know Maxine and having her as a friend! I look forward to watching her walk down the aisle and for her future with Nolan ❤️
