Nicole & Blane
Wedding Party
Katherine Schmitt
Matron of Honor
Katherine is my older sister! She has always been my protector and biggest advocate. We facetime almost daily to keep updated on each other's lives. From laughing about the silly things our dogs do to creating memories with my adorable niece Kennedy and nephew Kayden. I also blame her for my addiction to Taco Bell. I can't imagine getting married without Katherine by my side!
Tyler Garfield
Best Man
Tyler and I have been friends for over 2 decades and I would describe us as two pea's in a pod. On any given weekend you can find us drinking our favorite tequila/beer at any dive bar in the South Bay, teasing each other over my love of video games/his surfing or reminiscing about our glory days. Tyler is incredibly passionate about all aspects in life, caring and overall one of the best humans on the planet and I am very lucky to call him my best man!
Rachel Garfield
Matron of Honor
Rachel and I met when she began dating her now-husband Tyler! Rachel is my female soul mate. She will get up in the middle of a crowded bar and belt out every lyric (with accompanying dance moves) to our favorite Taylor Swift song with me! We have a shared love of shopping and an unhealthy obsession with our dogs Louie and Henry. On any given day you can find us sipping our favorite rosé, uncontrollably laughing and obnoxiously finishing each other's sentences. I had the honor of standing next to Rach on her wedding day and I could not imagine going through this amazing time without her by my side!
Tony Powell
Groomsman
Tony and I first met around 10 years ago in Vegas at a pool party with Tyler, Tyler's family and Jenna to celebrate Tyler's 21st birthday. He and I stayed in contact throughout the years and our friendship really started to flourish when he and I bonded over our mutual love of video games, bourbon and our love/hate relationship between my Dodgers and his Giants. Tony is one of the most loving, sincere & trustworthy people I know and am so happy he will be my side on Nicole and I's big day.
Jenna Powell
Bridesmaid
I met Jenna through my matron of honor, Rachel, and her husband (aka Blane's best man) Tyler. It took approximately 30 seconds for Jenna and me to become close friends! We instantly bonded over our love of shopping, dogs, and tequila. I will never forget the day we helplessly floated down the river together in Bend, Oregon, laughing so hard we were crying, waiting to be saved by Blane and Jenna's husband, Tony. Jenna and I have a recurring texting date every weeknight while our men play Call Of Duty together. I can't wait to have Jenna standing next to me on my special day!
Sean Fanning
Groomsman
Sean and I met freshman year at the University of Arizona (check the photo to see us in our glory days) and became inseparable when we lived together in our fraternity house. Sean and I have a unique, silly, and probably borderline insane habit of calling each other during the wee hours of the morning/night to see if each other will answer no matter what time it is - the best part is, someone always answers! Sean is a very important person in my life and always lets me know he loves me which to me is very special. Sean is my brother from another mother, a lifelong friend, and someone I know I can depend on no matter what. I can't wait for Sean to be by my side during the wedding vs a 4 a.m. phone call!
Billy Nelson
Bridesman
Billy and I met freshman year at The University of Arizona and quickly realized we're both from the same hometown! Billy and Blane have also become great friends. He even kept Blane occupied while I shopped for my wedding dress! We love going out to eat and ordering more sushi and sake than our server thinks we can consume (we always prove the server wrong). I am so excited to have Billy by my side for this day!
Eric Chapman
Groomsman
Eric and I have been friends since our freshman year of college and immediately bonded over teasing his roommate, love for sports, and the horrible process that is fraternity rushing. Although we might not have taken a recent photo (one here is from freshman year of college) Eric and I are very close and is one of the special people in my life where we don't have to talk every day but when we do talk it as if we had just finished a conversation 15 mins before the current one. Eric is one of my dearest friends in the world with a heart of gold, personality that can light up a room and a tremendous taste in BBQ. I am very lucky to have him by my side on the big day!
David Right
Bridesman
David is one of my oldest friends. We met about 15 years ago during our glory days of high school. Throughout all of the craziness and changes in our lives, we have remained extremely close. David is my go-to friend for all things food and drink-related. He is a fantastic chef (and ice cream shop owner) and gives the best recommendations in Denver for any occasion! David is also the *only* friend that is allowed to call me by my non-existent nickname, Nikki. I can't wait to have him by my side for my special day!
Andrew Mitro & Shane Reilly
Ushers
Andrew and Shane are two of our closest friends. Shane and Nicole have been close friends since high school and Blane and Shane became friends immediately once he and Nicole began dating. Andrew, Nicole, and Blane all went to college together at the University of Arizona and became close friends when Andrew moved to Denver after college. Andrew and Shane are both known for their "life of the party" personalities so it was a no-brainer when deciding who we want to welcome our guests and get the party started on our special day!
