Chloe Eiden - Maid of Honor
Olivia has known Chloe since her birth in 2002. Olivia cried tears of joy when she found out her new sibling (expected brother) was actually a girl (sorry Carter)! Chloe is the sweetest, most thoughtful, and best sister Olivia could ever ask for. Chloe is known for avoiding the sun on vacations and for having a deep love for the Vampire Diaries (@brothersbondbourbon). Watch for her on the dancefloor as soon as you hear "Mr. Worldwide"!
Reece Hughes - Best Man
Nate met Reece circa spring of 1999. Reece is known for being the athletic one in the family (Nate likes to think he gives him a run for his money). Reece may be the most competitive one in the family (and that is saying a lot), but it is only because Nate and his cousins ensured Reece lost every game they ever played (youngest player tax). Despite their competitive nature, Nate always knew he could count on Reece for anything and everything. Reece will make sure there is enough room on the dancefloor for everyone to busta move!
Shannon Castillo - Bridesmaid
Nate has actually known Shannon longer (technically), but she and Olivia were introduced on a double date to the zoo (against Olivia's better judgment). Shannon invented the "ten second tidy" because she hates a messy party. If there is a game being played at this wedding- Shannon's there (and winning).
Noah Castillo - Groomsman
Nate and Noah met in middle school. The two are known for having such a deep bromance that they go on dates together (i.e. Easy A movie date and romantic dinners on Rob and Sherri). Noah is the best dancer out there...... but only knows about 3 moves. Find him on the dancefloor, unless someone brings Big Buck Hunter.
Madison Gordon - Bridesmaid
Madison is Olivia's cousin and friend since birth! Madison is known for being "most reserved" (thank you HHS class of 2014), but also will spontaneously decide to jump out of a plane. If you are looking for Madison, wait for a song from the early 2000's to play, and you'll know.
Trey Peters - Groomsman
Trey, AKA Ronald Keith Peters III, and Nate met in Ms. Iadorsa's geometry class freshman year of high school. Trey and Nate can quote nearly every Will Ferrell movie verbatim, and do so on a regular basis (they're "kind of a big deal"). You will probably find Trey with other members of the bridal party, also quoting Will Ferrell movies.
Kim Wood - Bridesmaid
Kim and Olivia became "two peas in a pod" on the all-girl cheer team at MSU (thank you Josh for accepting the award on Olivia's behalf), until Kim quit... so Olivia did too. Kim is one of the few people who might love wine more than Olivia. If we run out of wine, you can safely blame Kim (only the red though).
Josh Wood - Groomsman
Josh and Nate knew each other in high school because of wrestling, and instantly became friends on their first (double) date to Red Robin (with Liv and Kim). Josh loves a good glass of bourbon, or a espresso martini depending on the mood. If there is a softball field anywhere near the venue, you won't see Josh the rest of the night.
Yasmine Hassan - Bridesmaid
Yasmine, AKA Mina, and Olivia met in ballet class when they were like 9ish (I don't know, it was a long time ago). Yasmine and Olivia have been known to belt out Hamilton, and spend 6 hours at dinner (or drinks). She will most definitely be on the dance floor, tequila in hand.
Maverick Tressler - Groomsman
Maverick and Nate met in high school, but became very close in college as roommates (even after Mav locked Nate out a couple times..). Mav introduced Nate to one of his favorite video games (but has also ruined many due to being too good). Mav will undoubtedly be the last one awake the night of the wedding.
Eva Eiden - Bridesmaid
Olivia and Eva met many years ago when she started dating Olivia's brother, but they became sisters last year! Eva decided Carter was the one as soon as her dog, Annie, let him pet her (if you knew Annie, you would know this is a big deal). Eva is the best wife out there- find her driving Carter home after this wedding (and every wedding).
Carter Eiden - Groomsman
Nate got to know Carter once he started dating Liv, 7+ years ago. Nate used to judge Carter for his love of Busch Light, then Carter introduced Nate to the wonderfulness that is Busch Light Apple, and Nate's beer pallet grew 3 sizes that day. Carter was so glad when we informed him the wedding was in spring, because it is not hunting season (you're welcome, Carter).
Raylin Pellatt - Bridesmaid
Olivia and Raylin became fast friends in middle school cheer (shared trauma). They bonded over being college roommates, pen pals, fans of Christina Yang (the fav from Grey's Anatomy), and being the only girls in the friend group. Raylin will be the one to ask the morning after for amazing photos and hilarious quotes!
Jonah Kowalczyk - Groomsman
Nate and Jonah met in high school, despite him going to CC (gross), they became good friends in college (are you sensing a pattern?). Jonah is always feeling 100% and is the better half of he and Nate's duo for their golf league. If you see someone critiquing the DJ and asking for louder music, its Jonah. DISCLAIMER: Don't be afraid to tell him we don't need more bass.
Miranda Dziobak - Bridesmaid
Miranda and Olivia became friends in high school because of a mutual ex (yikes). However, Miranda actually introduced Olivia and Nate way back in sophomore year of high school! Miranda is here to save the dolphins despite her tattoo being a turtle. At the wedding, Miranda will be having heart to hearts with everyone- strangers beware!
Anthony Colaianne - Groomsman
Anthony (Tony) and Nate have been friends for years, dating back to their middle school wrestling days. Anthony is the furthest groomsman coming all the way from Colorado! Anthony is known for being the life of the party! He will walk around telling, not asking, everyone to do shots. If you are curious about which groomsman is Anthony, he is the Italian Stallion with the hair.
Dan Shorr - Groomsman
Nate met Dan in high school and (you guessed it) they became friends in college (GO BRONCOS)! Dan is one of those guys who is just good at everything. Volleyball? He's on your team. Video games? He has the best KD. Golf? He and Nate go back and fourth (Nate likes to think), but he's always down. You can find Dan at the Culvers next to the hotel (with Garrett).
Garrett Bratten - Groomsman
Nate and Garrett became friends not actually in high school, but on the last day, at an after party (thanks Mitchell). If Nate needs help with anything, Garrett is one of his go-to guys. Garrett introduced Nate to his happy place- on the lake, wake surfing; even if it was a few hours after the agreed upon time. If you need to find Garrett, he is with Dan (and MJ).
Kendall Hughes - Officiant
Kendall Hughes (no relation) and Olivia met in college after Kendall got Olivia a "Happy 90th birthday" card (don't ask- we don't know why). Their friendship blossomed from there with living together, studying abroad, and their many outings at Rama. Kendall and Nate grew close while Olivia was at cheer practice, bonding over Game of Thrones, 90's grunge (specifically Mr. Brightside), and of course Olivia. Nate asked Olivia to marry him with the understanding that she and Kendall come together as a package deal. You probably already know Kendall because she already introduced herself (twice).
