Katie Amthor-Logan
Matron of Honor
Katie is Madeline’s older sister, built-in best friend, and lifelong partner-in-chaos. Growing up in a close, military family, the two have shared everything from matching outfits to endless inside jokes and a deep love of animals. Katie always joked that she’d end up the crazy dog lady while Maddie would be the crazy cat lady—and with Aidan already owning two cats and Maddie proudly doting on one of her own, that prediction is well on its way to coming true. Katie’s love for her family runs deep, and her loyalty and heart are unmatched. She’s already walked the aisle herself, but getting to stand beside her little sister on this special day means the world to her. There’s no one better suited to be Matron of Honor—she’s been training for it since day one.
Oliver Bopp
Best Man
Oliver has been Aidan’s closest friend since high school. Though their careers have taken them down different paths, their friendship has remained a constant—built on shared experiences ranging from early mornings in the woods to late nights at the bar, and more than a few marathon gaming sessions in between. Oliver has been a loyal and steadfast friend, and it’s only fitting that he stands beside Aidan as his best man on this important day.
Kaitlin Marron
Bridesmaid
Kaitlin is one of Madeline’s many cousins, but their bond has always felt more like sisters. From spontaneous hangouts to post-gym sushi runs, the two have become even closer in recent years—especially as workout buddies leading up to the wedding. Whether it’s ramen, boba, or their go-to Starbucks order, they never need an excuse to treat themselves and catch up. Kaitlin has always been a steady source of laughter, encouragement, and real talk. She’s not just family—she’s one of Maddie’s closest friends, and Madeline couldn’t imagine saying “I do” without her by her side.
Quinn Shourds
Groomsman
Quinn is Aidan’s twin brother—and while growing up they didn’t always see eye to eye (okay, almost never), there’s no denying the bond they share. Through all the disagreements and brotherly rivalry, they’ve built a friendship rooted in respect, laughter, and loyalty. Quinn is proud to stand beside his brother and couldn’t be more excited to support him as he begins this next chapter in life.
Katrina Terada
Bridesmaid
Katrina is Madeline’s cousin and one of her closest family friends. Being the same age, they grew up side by side—spending weekends together, having frequent sleepovers, and bonding over their shared love of gaming. They’ve always had a blast hanging out, especially on family vacations, like their most recent cruise where they spent most of the time laughing, exploring, and goofing off together. Now both in college, they still share a love for games and a dream of traveling to Japan one day. Having Katrina as a bridesmaid is a no-brainer—she’s been part of Madeline’s favorite memories for as long as she can remember.
Bryce Ipoc
Groomsman
Bryce has been one of Aidan’s closest and most trusted friends since their high school years. Their bond has been strengthened over time through shared passions such as fitness and gaming, and a steadfast commitment to supporting one another through life’s challenges.

A loyal friend and an admirable individual, Bryce is honored to stand by Aidan’s side on this special day.
Gabriella Amthor
Flower Girl
Gabriella is Madeline’s younger sister and the baby of the family, a title she wears proudly. Ever since Maddie caught the bouquet at Katie’s wedding, Gabi has been counting down the days until this one—hoping it's finally her turn to catch it. At just 9 years old, she brings a spark of humor and light to every moment, always ready with the funniest comment and the brightest smile. Her joy for life is truly unmatched, and we’re so excited to have her lead the way down the aisle.
Granger Amthor
Father of the Bride
Granger is Madeline’s dad, partner-in-crime, and fellow family jokester. The two share a similar sense of humor that keeps everyone laughing—and a shared love of good food (especially sushi) that has bonded them over countless father-daughter dinners. While he’s had many titles in life—Colonel, pilot, State Aviation Officer—the one he’s most proud of is “Dad.” From cheering her on through every phase of life to walking her down the aisle, Granger has always been Madeline’s steady support and biggest fan. His pride in his daughter is endless, and there’s no one more honored—or more emotional—about seeing her start this next chapter.
Kathleen Marron-Amthor
Mother of the Bride
Kathleen is Madeline’s mom, confidante, and lifelong shopping partner. Whether they’re combing through thrift stores, hunting for treasures at the dollar store, or scoring finds at Ross, the two have always shared a special bond built on laughter, style, and an appreciation for a good deal. Kathleen has instilled in Madeline a strong sense of family, grace, and determination. Her example of love, loyalty, and partnership—alongside Granger—has shaped the kind of woman Madeline is today. Seeing her daughter walk down the aisle is a moment she’s always dreamed of, and she couldn’t be more proud to be by her side for it.

Her presence today is a testament to the nurturing foundation on which her son has built his life.
