Meet our Wedding Party!

Niko’s younger brother and forever-"wingman" in the duck blind. (Haha - see what I did there?)

Niko is endlessly grateful to have grown up with Coop by his side. They’re the definition of "ride or die"—a pair who has always had each other's backs and knows they can count on one another for absolutely anything.

These two have been inseparable from day one. Whether it was childhood days filled with pick-up basketball, swimming holes, snack runs to B&S, and cruising on bikes, or adulthood spent chasing ducks, captaining boats, and swapping stories over a cold beer, their bond is unbreakable.

In the photo above, Niko and Cooper are riding high after one of the most legendary hunts of their lives—they managed to limit out on Mallards in a wild two minutes!

​Niko’s youngest brother and our favorite sweet-natured menace.

While Niko and Cooper definitely put him through the ringer growing up, we couldn’t be prouder of the man Gavin is turning into.

"Gav-Man" is the official guardian of Niko’s street cred—keeping him looped in on all the newest music, games, and movies so he doesn't fully reach "unc" status.

Gavin has officially joined the ranks in the duck blind, and he’s turned into a total dead-eye (a massive upgrade from his days of struggling to hit the broadside of a barn). How incredible is it that these three brothers get to spend so much time together bonding over the same passion?

One of Niko’s oldest friends from their high school days at CFC.

"Klein" is hands-down one of the funniest guys we know—expect your cheeks to hurt from non-stop laughter whenever he’s around.

Niko and Austin bonded back in the day over a shared love of basketball, and they still make sure to hit the court whenever life lets them.

One of Niko’s all-time favorite stories involves witnessing Klein eat an entire raw potato. (A questionable life choice, to say the least!)

Zane and Niko have been friends since day one—literally, back when they were just tiny little babies.

Zane has always been like the older brother Niko never had, playing a huge part in shaping him into the man he is today.

Are you a fan of Niko’s mustache? You have Zane to thank for that—he’s the one who convinced him to grow it out! (Madalyn thanks you, Zane).

Even now, Niko continues to learn from Zane’s lead, working together and picking up foreman skills from him at Ahern.

Wyatt and Niko have been partners in crime since they were kids.

Wyatt hasn’t always been the best influence on Niko, and the feeling is mutual—from ding-dong ditching in their younger days to the classic "just one more" at the bar, they’ve always been experts at egging each other on.

They’re both Ahern men now, pushing each other on the job to stay sharp and be the best in their field.

Keep an eye out after a few wedding drinks—you might just catch one of their legendary karaoke duets. Stay tuned!

Niko and Eli actually met at Niko's 2018 graduation party without realizing it, only to properly connect while working together at "The Mill" a year later.

Since then, E has been one of the most rock-solid people in Niko's life, with a friendship that stays strong no matter where life leads them.

Niko insists (and I quote) that "Eli gives the best hugs!" Plus, they have a habit of calling each other "baby"... should Madalyn be worried?

No matter how much time passes between visits, the second they get together it’s like they were never apart—non-stop laughing, joking around, and making memories.
