Nikki & Russ
Wedding Party
Andy Clinch
Man of Honor
Andy is Nikki's big brother and best friend. Infamous for talking late into the night, Nikki and Andy share everything with one another - experiences, music, movies, secret handshakes, and countless inside jokes (You got da soup?). We've never met a soul who didn't love Andy. He's kind, insightful, and sees people's best qualities in an instant (just like Jafar, but like a good version of Jafar that's nice #diamondintherough). He's the life of every party everywhere (just like Frank the Tank, but more reigned in #wildcard #we'regoingstreaking). Andy is an expert relationship-builder, a loyal confidant, and the true definition of "Brother" for all within his circle. We are thrilled to let you watch him shine his light on our special day.
Ranelle Berens
Best Woman
Ranelle is Russ' older, wiser, prettier sister (sorry, Ray). Ranelle is both thoughtful and kind, and her capacity to give love has no bounds. Don't let her gentle nature fool you, though, she is a stone-cold killer when it comes to leaping over kayaks to break up dog fights. She is also infamous for training her daughter, Madison, to beat up her uncles with precision and fearlessness (mostly using frisbees and fingernails). Despite these intimidating qualities, we mostly appreciate Ranelle for her intellect, easy laughter, and ability to remain present. We are excited for everyone to witness that she represents the best of the Berens clan (sorry, Chelsea).
Ray Berens
Officiant
Ray is Russ' younger brother and his favorite partner in crime. Such crimes include, amongst others: - condescending bar patrons with phrases like "Easy, Tiger...", - knocking each other's teeth out with jet skis, - and various jalapeño/eye-related incidents. Ray is also a loyal friend, an empathetic listener, and a genuinely kind soul. We consistently count on Ray for a witty comment or joke to bring a smile to everyone's faces. Ray is always eager for a new experience and makes for a great companion on your greatest adventures. To know him is to love him, so we're excited for everyone to join the ranks of Ray's fan club.
