Wedding Party
Sandy Milkent
Mother of the Bride
Nicole's Mom and Biggest supporter. The woman she still calls for advice, and takes every opportunity to see and spend time with. Nicole and her Mom always find time for each other every week. Nicole's mom even let Nicole move back in for over a year when she moved back to Oconomowoc from New Richmond. She enjoyed having Nicole (and her dog) around so much, and was disappointed when she moved back out. But Nicole tries to make it to see her Mom as much as possible!
Kelly Strain
Matron of Honor
Nicole's older sister and best friend. Nicole and Kelly have historically had that typical sibling relationship, but as they grow older, they grow closer together. Nicole frequently visits Kelly and Steven out in Colorado and had the privilege of being Kelly's Maid of Honor when she got to Marry Steven in June 2021. Nicole can't picture her wedding, without her sister by her side.
Amy Wolf
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Amy met all the way back during Nicole's freshman year of High School. They were in FFA together, and Nicole always tagged along on Amy's family trips to the off-road races. Nicole got to be there when Scott proposed to Amy, when they got married, and continues to see Amy, Scott, and their beautiful daughter, Avery regularly.
Dee Moore
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Dee met when Nicole joined the Army back in 2014. At first, Dee intimidated Nicole, a lot. But they worked together great. When Dee and Nicole had the opportunity to go to Romania in 2018 with the Army, they spent every second of the 2 weeks together and got inseparable. Though Dee lives about 2 hours away, they still find time to talk everyday. Nicole and Jordan traveled down to watch Dee marry her husband, Jessy, and the two of them drove up to surprise Nicole at her going away party prior to her deployment.
Sara Tape
Bridesmaid
I can't imagine anyone else to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible except for Sara. Nicole and Sara met when she began working for American Family Insurance in River Falls, as Nicole's assistant, who then took over as the office manager when Nicole moved back home. Nicole and Sara have remained quite good friends and talk almost daily!
Nicole Smebak
Personal Attendant
Nicole and Nicole met through Amy and became quite good friends, although nicknames were most definitely needed. To their group of friends, they are known as Mili or Mookins (Nicole Milkent), and Sme (Nicole Smebak). Mili helps out Sme with their beautiful draft horses on occasion, and Sme is always willing to lend a helping hand when she can. Mili saw how amazing Sme did with keeping things together for Amy's wedding as Amy's Maid of Honor, that she knew, Sme would do the same for hers!
Debbie Snell
Mother of the Groom
Jordan and his parents have always been extremely close. He calls his Mom daily and always asks her opinion and her advice. Jordan's Mom has been such a big asset to everything Jordan has done and even helps out a ton with Jordan and Nicole's dogs when they need it.
Greg Snell
Father of the Groom
Jordan is definitely his Dad's son. It is crazy how much alike the two of them are. Jordan and his Dad are always working on projects together and his Dad has helped so much with Jordan and Nicole's home with fixing things and ordering things and being there when they can't.
Jon Snell
Best Man
Jordan's younger brother who works at the same job, and drives almost the same truck as Jordan. Some people can't tell them apart and think they are twins, even though they are about 18 months apart. Jon and Jordan basically do everything together and if it weren't for that. Nicole and Jordan may not even know each other!
Jeff Jones
Groomsman
Jordan's oldest brother. Jordan and Jeff have always been close and still sit on the phone with each other for hours on end while they play the same computer game together.
Jake Snell
Groomsman
The brother between Jeff and Jordan. Jordan thought his truck was going to get stolen by Jake once when he let him borrow it to take it up to the UP on a snowmobiling trip. But Jordan got his truck back, and fully cleaned too!
Evan Gagliano
Groomsman
Jordan's very close cousin. I mean, how could they not be close? They were neighbors growing up!
Avery Milkent
Flower Girl
Nicole's big brother's oldest daughter. Nicole is so happy they can be a part of her big day!
Lily Milkent
Flower Girl
Nicole's big brother's youngest daughter. These girls, and their brother, Nathan, mean the absolute world to Nicole, and she is so thrilled to have them, and their family in her life!
Trigger
Best Dog
Nicole got Trigger back in 2017 when he was just 8 weeks old. He was a big deal for Nicole as he was her first dog of her own. Trigger is a 'momma's boy' through and through and also Nicole's shadow around the house. He can never be close enough to her and will do anything she asks of him. He is the goodest boy!
Winnie
Dog of Honor
Jordan and Nicole rescued Winnie when she was 14 weeks old right after Jordan bought his first house. Trigger was unsure of her for the longest time and still gets quite annoyed with his little sister. But Winnie sure has brought Nicole and Jordan a lot of laughs and smiles with her big personality.
