Wedding Party
Kate Thomas
Matron of Honor
Dr. Kate the Great—my big sister! From teaching me how to take a shower, to sharing a love of softball, to sharing the same giggle as we walk through life together, Kate has been my teacher, teammate, and lifelong confidant. Ask KT about our sister pairings and similarities to Venus/Serena, Amy Poehler and Kate McKinnon
Claire Womack
Matron of Honor
Baby Claire, my cousin aka baby sister. Even though we are separated by a few years and a few hundred miles, we are consistently on the same wave length. My forever favorite deviled egg dealer and trusted twin. I’m so thankful for all of life’s events that we get to share together! Ask BC about how we used to trick our parents into having a sleepover…every time!
Katherine Blount
Bridesmaid
And the award for best hair goes to…Fuss! Katherine and I met at Berry our Freshman year and I had the honor of living in Louise Cottage with her the last two years of college. Katherine is an instantly calming presence while simultaneously having the driest sense of humor. Ask Fuss about the time she was race support for my mom during the Berry Half Marathon.
Emily C. Davis
Bridesmaid
Em and I met in Sunday School class when we were 8 years old, she was sporting a classic *mushroom* haircut and we were bound to be best friends for life. I’m so thankful to have Em on my team in life’s simulation, a true ride or die. Ask Em about her fave household delicacy at the Thomas house growing up
Kate Guest
Bridesmaid
The Lady. Kate and I met at the end of Freshman year at Berry. Our friendship skyrocketed when she brought me some D-hall pancakes when I was sick at the beginning of Sophomore year. From Club Lib and many PCB trips, to Pres Adams, Union Pub and beyond we’ve been through it all together. Ask Kate about our 4pm Wendy’s tradition in college.
Maddie Hagerman
Bridesmaid
Maddie and I met working at Special Olympics HQ in 2016. I was so excited to be her friend and coworker that I had no chill. Our standing desks faced each other with that unmatched Home Improvement eye level visibility. Ask Maddie about when I showed her the bike rack.
Sydney Hulebak
Bridesmaid
Syd and I met our Freshman year at Berry and had a blast pranking each other as we lived in Louise Cottage together our last two years. We both shared unique diets then, and share equally unique and much healthier diets now. Syd is incredibly thoughtful and so intentional. Ask Syd literally any fact about Gilmore Girls, she’s a real Gilly Gal.
Libby Kane
Bridesmaid
I feel like I hit the jackpot with Libby as my future sister in law. Whether we are walking our pups together, gabbing and giggling at family dinner or hanging at the beach. I can always count on Libby for a niche Nickelodeon reference or a helping hand. Ask Libby about our epic Tuesday tradition.
Katie Pettet
Bridesmaid
KP, Lil Pet, Petite, the Ron Swanson to my Lil Sebastian. Katie and I met sophomore year at Berry and have been making each other laugh since then. Fiercely loyal, a Sancerre connoisseur and The Giver of all photos, so thankful that KP is the Hermoine to my Hagrid! Ask her about our mission trip to Cozumel or the sharing in the excitement of the 2021 World Series.
Mackenzie Reeves
Bridesmaid
A real one since 4th grade, Shack has always had my back. Basically a real life Nashville celeb to me. A loyal friend I can call who will always instantly laugh, cry, vent or meet me where I am. If you need me, she always knows where to find me! Ask Mackenzie about the time she visited me in DC in 2017 and put her suitcase behind the bar.
Hailey Sadler
Bridesmaid
Hailey and I met in 2015 in DC and were instantly kindred spirits. We lived a couple blocks away at the time and a few years later became roomies. Co-founders of the UP Maf and Bagels & Ballgowns, we’ve been to the Jungle together and back. Ask Hailey about her favorite Abby pour cocktail or how to perfectly caramelize an onion.
Sarah Steffan
Bridesmaid
Our meet cute happened in the Berry College Athletic Training department thanks to a vintage University of Tennessee coffee tumbler. Since then, we’ve bonded over so many things including sunflowers, Gilmore Girls, Brene Brown, music and beyond. My phone date, walk and talk girly! Ask as Sarah about her famous pizza shop!
Meghan Young
Bridesmaid
Meggo! My first friend in DC, we met at work at Special Olympics in 2015. She invited me to a Nationals baseball game a couple weeks after I started and we truly never looked back! Ask Meg about her first trip to Nashville! *I’m so thankful that you moved to that “town by the beach in North Carolina” and introduced me to your friend Andrew Kane!*
Ethan Hitchcock
Best Man
Ethan has been my best friend since our moms arranged a carpool when I was 8. He has always been the first person I invite to a Kane family dinner! After seeing this man protect ice cream at our first job, there is no one I would rather have as my best man. Ask Ethan about our synchronized swimming performances!
Brian Kane
Groomsman
Brian is my oldest brother and always gave the most thoughtful gifts! He never hesitated to give me and my friends rides or let us in free when we showed up at the ice skating rink. Ask Brian about the time I got covered in mud and yelled at a local Sheriff!
Tim Kane
Groomsman
Tim is my older brother and is the glue that makes our family fun. I always looked forward to when Tim came home from college because on his first night back he would always ask me if I wanted to do something one on one. Ask Tim about the time he was late picking me up from Providence pool.
Ben Thomas
Groomsman
One of the infinitely great things about meeting Abby has been getting to know her brother Ben. Our meet cute was different than most, but filled with a lot of love! Since then, Ben has been a close friend and confidant to me. Ask Ben if you want some tips on how to get me to pick up your FaceTime calls.
Michael Kolakowski Jr.
Groomsman
When I told my mom I was going to be living with a guy named Koke (his nickname) in college, she replied with “the hell you are”. Hands down one of the best decisions I made in during my time at East Carolina! Ask Michael about how he learned my real name!
Michael Hartman
Groomsman
Hartman was my roommate in college. From football games, to concerts, and even surf trips to other countries, there is not one adventure with Hartman I didn’t have a good time! If he wears his yellow sweater, expect a great time! Ask Hartman about the cowboys v redskins game we went to.
Alex Leach
Groomsman
Alex and I became close friends in middle school. We went to different high schools. Alex went to college in California and I went to North Carolina. We still live on opposite sides of the US. Despite that, we always stayed connected. Ask Alex what his mom thought about the big orange cups I would walk to his house with!
Mackenzie Nelson
Groomsman
Mackenzie and I became close friends during high school. He has always been the guy I could count on to stand by my side, no matter what! If I was standing on the wrong side, he was the first friend to tell me. Ask Mack about our time together in Sunday School!
Todd Williams Jr.
Groomsman
Todd was my first friend when I moved to Wilmington. Luckily for me, Todd had the same interests. He’s always a friend I can count on to go to the beach or see some stand-up comedy with any day! My favorite morning surf sessions are ones when I see Todd randomly walking the beach at sunrise. Ask Todd about the time he asked me to pick him up from Blacks Tires!
Lee Thomas
Groomsman
I have known Lee since we were kids. He was a legend at our local community pool, and he wasn’t even on the swim team! We became close after college and have stayed close to even as we moved further from each other across the continent. Ask Lee about our Friday drives on the mall after work!
Jon Hennessy
Groomsman
Jon and I became instant friends at ECU from the first day, literally. Even recently we pieced together that we were even on the same tour before we even applied. It makes sense to me. There isn’t a single thing about college that, thankfully, also reminds me of JonBart! It was destiny! Fate? Magic? YES! Ask Jon about our first surf trip together.
Brian Yost
Groomsman
When we were kids, Brian and I disliked each other tremendously. Freshman year of High School Brian and I were the only two males in our lunch period. Luckily for us, all the cute popular girls were also in our lunch. We sat with them until Brian made me laugh so hard I spit my water all over several of them. We have been little giggle monsters ever since! Ask Brian about our 12th Grade English class with Ms. Greenblatt!
