Bride
Nicolette is a pastry chef currently working as a specialty cake decorator at Trefzger's Bakery in Peoria. Aside from baking she enjoys crafting, going to concerts, and trying new restaurants.

Groom
Dustin is a doctor who is currently in his first year of psychiatry residency at the University of Illinois Chicago at Peoria. In his very limited free time (thank you residency during a pandemic) he enjoys playing video games, trying new board games, cooking, and trying out new restaurants. He is eagerly awaiting both the wedding!
Maid of Honor
The bride’s younger sister & lifelong friend. We shared everything growing up from clothes to a bedroom! We’ve been through all of it together, the straight cut bangs, colored skinny jeans, and of course endless Jonas Brothers concerts! You can typically find us at Walmart getting the most random of things and laughing uncontrollably.
Best Man
Dustin's brother from another mother and lifelong best friend. Andrew works as a Senior Consultant for Deloitte and is a father of a loving pitbull named Libee. He is slowly accepting the fact that he's now #2 in Dustin's life…
Bridesmaid
Stephane became best friends with Nicolette in high school when they started taking on theater together sophomore year. She was witness to the very start of Dustin and Nicolette's relationship and continues to be their #1 fan. She currently resides in Glenview, IL pursuing a career in Human Resources.
Groomsman
Will is Nicolette's younger brother. Will quickly bonded with Dustin over their shared love for Marvel movies, Nintendo Switch, and board games. During his free time, he enjoys playing hockey and spending time with his dog, Eve. Will is currently studying Criminal Justice in pursuit of a career in Law Enforcement.
Bridesmaid
Keisha met the couple in a tiny Missouri town where Dustin and her husband Klay attended medical school! Who knew volunteering to fishy-sit for a stranger could end up being the best decision ever!

Groomsman
The Groom's Brother. Being the typical Big Brother, he's always trying to impart his life's wisdom on Dustin whenever possible! (Thank goodness Dustin doesn't listen to him half the time!) He's a full time Electrician with a flair for cooking. The Grill IS his domain!
