Nicole Marte
Groomswoman
Nicole Marte first met Blake and Daniel through Alan and has known us for as long as Alan has. Nicole went to school for architecture at Pratt Institute in New York and made frequent visits to Kalamazoo over the holidays. Those holidays quickly became some of our favorite memories as we quickly discovered that we are the same couple.

She currently lives with Alan in Indianapolis working as an architect in Carmel, Indiana.

Sam has spent all of his life being Daniel's only brother and closest look alike. In recent years the two have grown close and Sam has definitely worked to fill the void that Alan left when HE ABANDONED US.

Ladies, watch out.
