Princess Hannah- Our Flower Girl

Nick's niece Hannah Robbe, Scott and Michelle's daughter is our flower girl. Nick has always had a special place in his heart for Hannah. He loves his niece with all of his heart and it is the sweetest thing to see.

When I first met Hannah, I knew immediately we would get along just fine. I discovered that she loves Princesses almost as much as I do. As soon as we made that connection, we were no longer Hannah and Kelly. We became Princess Hannah and Queen Kelly. Uncle Nick keeps trying to join our Princess club, but we just laugh and try to explain to him "Boys can't be princesses silly!".

We can't wait to see Hannah in her flower girl ballgown. We are 100% sure she will look like the Princess she already is!


Whether it's swimming in the lake....

Or hanging out in our crowns....

Or just enjoying time together, we ALWAYS have fun with Hannah. We know there could never be a more perfect flower girl!

Welcome to our Wedding Website

Welcome to our version of the "wedding website". Instead of a traditional wedding website, we decided to create this blog. The basic elements of a wedding website are all here. There's accomodations, map and directions, and registry links to the right. Within the blog, there's descriptions and pictures of the wedding party. However, this blog is so much more, it's a record of this amazing journey we started on December 16th.

But the story doesn't end on July 11th! It's really just the beginning for our newly formed family and this blog will record it all! The benefit of the blog is that we can keep it even after the wedding! Check back here often to stay informed of what those crazy Robbe's are up to!

We started this blog soon after we got engaged so there are already many posts for you to read. Start reading from the bottom and catch up with what's been going on since December 16th. Don't forget to check back often. We will be "blogging" up until the wedding and we'll start again after the honeymoon!

Thank you so much for being part of our lives and sharing in our special day. We really hope you can be there on July 11th. Just don't forget your dancing shoes! We plan on bringing down the house!

Love,

Nick and Kelly

PS. Don't forget to check back often! We have more posts planned...stay tuned for a special tribute to our flower girl Hannah Robbe, our priest Father Anthony and of course, our wonderful mothers and grandmothers!

The "Guys"

Best Man- Matt Robbe
In a hard fought duel, my youngest brother, Matthew, won the spot of Best Man. A very funny man with a heart of gold, he is just finishing up his Sophomore year at Purdue, where he is majoring in CoEd Studies. Matt has been my closest friend for years, & it's an honor to have him as my Best Man. I expect him to be the first one on the dance floor when "Strokin" gets played. As well as any song by Usher..."Peace up, A-Town."



Pictured above is of Scott, his wife, Michelle and their daughter Hannah, our flower girl!

Groomsman- Scott Robbe
The only married groomsman, I may need Scott to calm me when I try to bolt from Church 5 minutes before the Wedding. As my oldest brother, & one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet, it will be awesome to have him up on the Altar with me. He lives in SC, so I don't get to see him much, and he keeps resisting the Fam when we tell him that living in the 'Nati is better than living in the south. Worthy of being the best man, unfortunately I could only pick one for that position, & it's an honor to have two brothers who could easily fill that role.


Pictured above is Nick, Jonathan (also a groomsman) and Andy.

Groomsman- Andy Coffaro
My cousin, Andy, is without a doubt one of the coolest dudes around. I roomed with him throughout college at Clemson, and we used to tell the pretty co-eds that we were twins...some of them even bought it. Ah, how times have changed. But some things remain the same, like how close to my heart I keep my friendship with Andy...and how much he loves Will Smith. And if I know him at all, I am sure he will be the first one on the dance floor when the Electric Slide comes on.





Groomsman- Jonathan Foertsch
Jonathan is like apple pie...who doesn't love him? I've known him since High School, & he is the type of friend that would do anything for you. And has. He now resides in Atlanta, & though I don't get to see him much, tight friends we will always be. I feel blessed that he will be up there with me on my wedding day, & I cannot wait to party with him afterwards.


Groomsman- Jimmy Dunbar
Jimmy is like Jonathan part two: a funny, funny man who is always smiling and having a good time. They say that you can never have enough good friends, & I feel lucky to add him to my stable of pals. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the Dunbar family motto is: "Eh, I could eat." Well Jimmy, wait until you spend a night with the Robbe's, where eating is an Olympic event!! I am glad he will be such a big part of our big day!!
