Mathieu is a blessing in the form of a brother. I can’t count all of the different ways I look up to him, but if I tried, it would far outnumber the amount of times I’ve beat him in anything athletic. He gets my humor better than anyone else and is the first one to help me when I need it. It’s wild how the title of “Best Man” fits him, as Mathieu is simply the best…man. I can’t overstate how good of a brother he is to me and will be to Emily - N

College friend turned sister - 5+ years living together and I'm still not tired of her! She is a light in my life and one of my greatest blessings. One of my favorite things about her is how excited she gets about life with me. She is hilarious/so weird (ask her about her "_____ Jackson" move, Shrek, or her chihuahua Carlos), full-of-life, adventure-seeking and other-focused. I love you forever. -E

Levi has been through it all with me. Since middle school, he has always been like an older brother giving me advice as well as being my biggest hype man. He was my go-to guy when I needed someone to talk to about meeting the girl of my dreams. His personality makes him a top-notch friend and roommate. He is someone I’m never tired of being around. Currently, though, I’m annoyed he's already better at golf than me after only 3 years of playing. - N

My sweet Gracie- Silly and loyal are the two words I think of first when I think of her. Grace wins the cake for living with me the longest (lucky girl!), for over 6 years! All the tears and laughs through college and beyond have created a friendship that I can't imagine my life without. She is real and great at baking and has been known to embarrass me (especially when she met Nick for the first time) and even terrorize me at times. No food fights at the wedding, please!!! ;) - E

Cobi is the most solid dude you will ever meet. Cobi and Kalle have been a blessing to Emily and me in countless ways. It only took him a year and change to become like a brother to me. His ability to care for everyone around him (especially his dog Carlos) always amazes me, almost as much his skill as a doubles partner in pickleball. - N

Chloe is a college friendship that I thank God for every day- Chlo has taught me how to take chances and say "yes" to things more often. I love your joy and how you always remind me to enjoy life (even though sometimes that thing could be mildly illegal or even a little destructive (hehe)! I love your strength and how you support others around you. I love you - E

Josh never ceases to surprise me with his wild trains of thought and ability to make me laugh. He doubles as arguably the most intentional but also the most unserious guy I know. I think I’ve cried laughing every time I’ve hung out with him. Josh and Emma were there the moment Emily took my heart by storm. P.S. If you need a Travis Barker lookalike, please refer to his Instagram post from last Halloween. - N

My sweet Emma B (sorry Josh)- Bethel really delivered for me in the friend department because Emma was one of my first friends in college and is now someone I get to call a best friend. She is honest, reliable & like a sister to me. She is the best audience, always laughs at my jokes, and is one of the only people who likes my "baby voice." Emma has always been mine and Nick's biggest cheerleader - If it was up to her we would have been married years ago! - E

I’m starting to wonder if there is a limit to what my future brother-in-law can do or what he knows. He is easily one of the smartest and most humble guys I know. From the way he is there for his people to the way he approaches any one of his countless hobbies, Jake is all in. He can fix any car problem I have and can relate to me on any grievances with existing as an oldest brother (JK Mathieu, Joe, Caleb, and Steven - you guys are perfect). The only things I think I’ve seen Jake struggle with are getting a trout to bite and fantasy football ;) - N

Jenna is my actual first friend at Bethel and someone who has grown with me through many ups and downs. I could not have survived those years without you! I love how you love to laugh and make others laugh. You have filled my life with joy in so many ways. She is weirdly good at everything (Mario Cart, wake surfing, parallel parking for Emma, etc...) Voted most likely (by me!!!) to be the last on the dance floor. I love you! -E

His title says Usher, but really it should be the most interesting man in the world. Every time Joe is home from Colorado I hear another story about how he climbed a mountain and slept in the snow in a makeshift sleeping bag made of Aldi bags or something… (or something crazier). His many adventures are only the small way his spirit shines: He is wise beyond his years and follows his faith as earnestly as I’ve seen it done, and not much else can make a future brother-in-law feel as proud as that does. P.S. The many adventures you go on (and you living in CO) are the reason we don’t have any pictures together, Joe. Let's change that - N

The reason we are all here today!!! Nick and I met at the Oslin's wedding and we have been inseparable ever since. I love how she makes others feel seen and loved in a way only Jenna could do. She is the life of the party and has the best handwriting of anyone I know! She is a giver, funny, loyal, and the best cat mom to Winston. She is the best proposal secret keeper/coach and engagement photographer too! I love you, Jenna -E

I don’t think Jeremiah has known me as long as Mathieu has, but it’s pretty dang close. We have been there to watch each other grow up and I feel blessed to have a friend in my life who knows me like Jeremiah does. He is my sports talk/knowledge go-to and has been a loyal friend and teammate through every season (sports or life) that has come and gone. Our friendship has contributed to countless memories and is irreplaceable. Also, if you need photos, athletic training, or Loons tickets - look no further than Jeremiah. - N

Another Bethel bestie- Abby is intentional and loves a girl's night. She is also the best host around (see you at girls' night!!!). Abby is a fellow Aperol spritz lover and makes slick-back ponytails look easy (they're not). I love your joy and how it radiates to others. There is a reason she was also trusted as our engagement co-manager with Jenna. Another front-runner to last the longest on the dance floor! I am so lucky to have you in my life <3- E

I dare you to try and find someone as kind as Paul. You can try, but it’s not gonna happen. Paul is also a guy who has known me since middle school, lived with me, been a teammate and friend, and yet STILL wants to hang out with me (at least sometimes). I am so thankful I have a friend like Paul who is always down to talk about all of life and drive to Tbell for a Baja Blast without an ounce of judgment. I’m honestly still trying to figure out what’s bigger: his impressive cologne and sneaker collections, his heart, or his muscles… - N
