Our Wedding Party

Dominique Dudine DeWinter

Matron of Honor

I met Nikki and her puppy Diva when I first moved to San Diego.  She needed a third roommate at her Pacific Beach house and I needed to move out of a BAD roommate situation.  We became roommates in 1999 and lived together for many years after.  We had several third roommates, including Nikki's brother Mike, but the most memorable (for me at least!) was when Rich moved in with us in 2001.  We had so much fun together and we have always felt like family. 

Over the years, we have maintained that family even though we no longer live under the same roof.   I was able to read for her at her wedding, visit her homes in Hawaii, Tennessee, and Monterrey.  Rich and I were honored to become Godparents to her daughter, Lucia last year.  Thank you for all the love and laughter over the years!

I love you dearly Nikki and I am blessed to have you in my life and as my matron of honor.

Best Man

from Rich

Art and I met in 1993 at DeVry University in Phoenix.  It is pretty cool that we have maintained our friendship for this long and through the many different states we have both lived.  We both ended up living in Phoenix, San Jose, and San Diego together.  Now he is in Singapore, but we are still keeping tabs on each other.  We both enjoy competing on the golf course as well.    He's like a brother and has been my family when I have been so far away from my own.  I value our friendship thank you for being at my side when I wed my bride.

Officiant

Mr. and Mrs. D. are Nikki's parents, which is how we met, but now they are dear friends of ours! I was fortunate to stay with them when I was traveling through Singapore and needed a place that felt like home.  We have shared many holidays together over the years including Christmas in Hawaii and Thanksgiving.  Eating Italian food together is always a great joy.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends... we look forward to MANY more years of laughter, love & good wine together!

Mike is an amazing man with charisma, charm and a great sense of humor.  We couldn't think of anyone more perfect to be our MC...and we were so happy when he offered!   Thank you so much!

From Rich and Kerri

We understand that not all of our friends & family will be able to attend our wedding. Our choice to have a destination wedding was what we felt deep in our hearts was the perfect celebration for us.

There will be many ways to celebrate, with those who are unable to attend. We look forward to sharing photos, stories & videos with those who couldn't be there.

Please remember that we have no expectations and your attendance is 100% optional! We do not want anyone to feel any pressure or obligation to come to Maui; we understand that time and money are often a hurdle in one's opportunity to take a vacation. If you can swing it, that's great! If you can't, no worries!
