Wedding Party

Ashley Grimm

Bride

Welcome to our wedding! We are so thankful for each and every one that will be celebrating with us on this big day of ours! I first met Nick while we were interns at church his freshman year and my sophomore year of college but didn’t start talking to him until camp that next summer. I thought he was one of the most respectful guys I had ever met. He has yet to prove me wrong! We love going on hikes, coffee shop adventures, and late-night taco bell runs! These people standing next to us are some of our closest friends and biggest cheerleaders! We appreciate all of our friends who have been and will continue to be so supportive of both Nick and me in whatever God leads us to next!

Nicholas Mansell

Groom

Hello all! Thank you so much for joining us for Ashley's and my wedding! Ashley and I met at camp the summer of 2018. We spent a week of partnering together to minister to high school students and we really hit it off. We started dating in the fall of 2018 and a year and a half later I asked her to marry me! I am thankful for all of our friends who were there for us along the way and am thankful that they will be standing up next to me as Ashley and I exchange vows.

Hannah Grimm

Maid of Honor

Hi! I'm Hannah Grimm, the bride's younger sister! I have some pretty great stories of her that I will be telling at the wedding so GET READY :) Anyway, I met Ashley when I was born and I met Nick at camp a few years ago. Ashley and I enjoy going on coffee runs together and random fun adventures! I can’t wait to see what God has in store for Ashley and Nick!

Daniel Dorantes

Best Man

Hello there! I met Nick and Ashley at college and got to know them both over the course of the past few years. Nick and I lived together for one school year and we constantly had fun doing random shenanigans. We played a lot a games together, he often stayed over with me and my family when traveling to Arizona from Illinois was not feasible. I am excited and honored to be Nick's best man.

Aubrey Thomson

Maid of Honor

It’s a rare treat to meet someone and just click. Ashley quickly became near and dear to me our freshman year at Olivet. From crawling over washing machines to announcing ourselves via goat noises at each other’s doorsteps, we knew how to bring out each other’s goofy sides. We also knew how to be serious and learned we could lean on each other while dealing with insecurities, disappointments, and pain. While I was apprehensive when Ash brought a new mans back with her from camp, I could see how much Nick cared for and respected her. Nick and I quickly became friends, and I have been so happy to see his and Ashley’s relationship grow. Both goofy and sincere, they make a great match, and I am so excited for the moment they become Mr. and Mrs. Mansell!

Zack Monte

Groomsman

Nick and I met early in our college careers and quickly started spending much of our free time together. Like all of Nick’s close friends, It was clear to me that Nick’s convictions for preaching Christ, serving His Church, and living by His Word are central to his daily life and his future aspirations. With Ashley coming into his life, so much of that preparation came into fruition! After a few years of studying Scripture together, reading Theology together, and preparing to be ministry leaders together, I am overjoyed that the Lord has put Nick in a position to be one of my closest friends for years to come.

Jordyn Dunbar

Bridesmaid

I knew Ashley before I met Nick. Ashley and I went to high school together, becoming quick friends through our mutual involvement in the theatre department! Not only did she become one of my close friends, she became someone who I could consider to be an older sister. As for Nick I met him my freshman year of college. Though we haven’t known each other long, I always look forward to our occasional square offs and random shenanigans! These two have my whole heart and I’m so blessed to be a part of their special day!

Jason Tolley

Groomsman

Hello! My name is Jason Tolley and I just recently graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in chemistry with a concentration in biochemistry. While at Olivet, I had the privilege of meeting many wonderful people, two of whom were Ashley and Nick. I lived with Nick for only a semester while at university and not too far into that semester I realized that I'd been missing out on a great roommate. Fortunately for Ashley, she'll now get to experience what it's like to have Nick as a roommate! I'm super excited to be a part of this wedding, and can't wait to see everything God has in store for the new Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Mansell!

Samantha Shepherd

Bridesmaid

I met Ashley during orientation for our freshman year at Olivet Nazarene University. We bonded over performance, show choir, brunch parties and even an awkward double "not date." Through out our four years at ONU, we had late night heart-to-hearts, photoshoots, and on-stage performances. Ashley and I roomed together with Caylee and Aubrey junior and senior years of college as well as participating together in Ollie's Follies, Preaching and Music Ambassadors, and Broadway Revue. I also met Nick through Preaching and Music Ambassadors and am so excited to celebrate them as a couple on their wedding day!

Kevin Godsey

Groomsman

I have known Nick since our freshman year of college. We lived together during our sophomore year and grew to be great friends. Such great friends that I was honored to have Nick as one of my own groomsmen in my wedding! Nick and I have plenty of great memories, including late night taco bell runs and a few times where I thought he died in his sleep. Thankfully, he's still alive and breathing just fine. I have watched Nick and Ashley grow from being acquaintances, to friends, to an official dating relationship. I was there when they got engaged! The two have such a beautiful and God glorifying relationship, and I am so excited to see how God will glorify himself in and through their marriage. I am so humbled and honored to be a part of such a special day with such special friends.

Macey Disney

Bridesmaid

I met Ashley and Nick in the summer of 2018 while we worked together at a summer camp. This was right before they started dating, but even then we all knew there was something between them. Ever since that amazing summer, I have maintained a strong and very valuable friendship with Ashley! My college experience has been so blessed by these two and I am so grateful to be a part of their special day.

Nathan Gonzalez

Groomsman

Hey guys! My name is Nathan Gonzalez, and I have known Nick and Ashley since my freshman year. I have loved seeing their relationship flourish and how they are an example of a relationship after God. Excited and humbled to be one of Nick’s groomsman!

Caylee Bourdoin

Bridesmaid

I’ve known Ashley for about three years now and have learned that she is so genuine with everything she says and does. For two of those three years, I’ve had the pleasure of living with her. She is always someone you can talk to, no matter the subject. She is someone you can be silly with and the first to join in when torturing your roommates (Aubrey and Sam). She will be your biggest cheerleader and greatest friend. I am so blessed to know her and have gotten to know her throughout these years. I am thankful to call her one of my dearest friends and proud of everything she has accomplished. Nick and Ashley make a beautiful couple, and I know Nick is truly her soulmate. I wish the best for these two, and I am so excited for their future together!

Luke Schmeltzer

Groomsman

I met Nick as his neighbor in our Freshman dorm. He was a cool guy and fun to hang around; we ended up as pretty good friends by the end of the year. We decided to get an apartment together with his friend Kevin and my friend Daniel, and I grew to really appreciate Nick as a friend. His quirks, hobbies, and humor make living with him a blast, and I have loved becoming good friends with him and Ashley. I look back fondly on all the times I pressured him into getting late night Taco Bell or beat him at Smash Bros or told him his theology was trash. Good times.
