We’re so lucky to have some of our favorite people standing beside us on this day. Meet the friends and family who have supported us, laughed with us, and helped shape our story.

Our Wedding Party

Hannah Lafferty

Maid of Honor

Hannah is Katie’s sister and built-in best friend. They’ve been laughing, joking, and making memories together since they were little, and Katie couldn’t imagine anyone else standing by her side on her big day.

Megan Farrell

Maid of Honor

Megan and Katie met their sophomore year of high school and have been inseparable ever since. Through distance, big life changes, and every high and low in between, their friendship has only grown stronger.

Josephine Calderon

Bridesmaid

Josephine is Katie’s sister-in-law and was her roommate for six months while she completed a rotation in Charlotte. Between nightly chats and many Bruster’s ice cream dates, the two quickly became the best of friends.

Caroline Wille

Bridesmaid

Caroline is Katie’s future sister-in-law and the little sister she always hoped for. She and Katie hit it off from the moment they met, and at this point, it’s questionable whether Katie is marrying into the family for Ryan or for Caroline.

Emily Bugg

Bridesmaid

Emily and Katie met in college and instantly bonded over their shared interests. Ever since, they’ve been attached at the hip, spending countless hours playing board games, crafting, and laughing together.

Amanda King

Bridesmaid

Amanda and Katie met later in college, and she has been a steady, grounding presence in Katie’s life ever since. Always ready with the best advice and the warmest hugs, Mandy is someone Katie truly couldn’t imagine life without.

Alexa Villasmil

Bridesmaid

Alexa and Katie met in college through their boyfriends (yes… Ryan). Since Ryan and Gavin were roommates, Alexa and Katie spent countless nights talking and laughing about everything. They clicked instantly and have been inseparable ever since.

Bianca Fruscello

Bridesmaid

Bianca and Katie met at UNC Charlotte, where Katie was immediately drawn to her bright personality and ability to never fail to make her laugh. Bianca has been a favorite person in every room ever since.

Paige Horvath

Bridesmaid

Paige and Katie knew each other in college but truly connected sophomore year. From thrift-store adventures to long catch-ups, their friendship has grown through every season. Paige has always been a source of calm and someone to turn to.

Katie Kessler

Bridesmaid

Katie and Katie were college roommates who did just about everything together. They spent nearly every day side by side, with Ryan happily third-wheeling most of the time.
