Matron of Honor
Katie first met Abby in elementary school. They grew apart when Abby moved and changed schools, but later reconnected in their freshman year of college. They've been close friends ever since.
Matron of Honor from Afar
Katie first met Lena in sophomore Algebra class—though let’s be honest, the real lesson that day was friendship. Lena still remembers exactly what Katie was wearing (which is both impressive and mildly concerning). Their bond really cemented during their freshman year of college, and they've been close ever since. Lena is expecting baby #3 just a few weeks before the wedding, so while she might not be there in person, she’ll definitely be there in spirit—or possibly as a hologram. We’re still exploring our tech options.
