Katie & Tyler
Wedding Party
Sarah Andrus
Matron of Honor
Though Sarah is Katie's younger sister, she is the guiding light for Katie on planning her big day, and has already spent countless hours helping. Without Sarah, Katie would feel absolutely lost. It's not just because of Sarah's passion, eye for beauty, and her generosity of time that Katie is so grateful; it's because there is not a soul on earth that understands Katie like Sarah can. There have been times in life when Katie has looked to Sarah to remind her of who she is and give her the courage to do things she shies away from. This wedding has been no different. Not only is Katie blessed with a sister that loves her so much (and loves her back just as much), but is blessed with a Matron of Honor who will (and already has made sure to) make this day as special as humanly possible.
Nathaniel Janes
Best Man
As Tyler's older (but not taller) brother, Nathaniel has been there to protect and guide Tyler throughout his life. Though the early years were a bit of a struggle to get along (sorry, mom), Nathaniel & Tyler have grown closer as they have matured. They now bond over the simpler things of life, like golf and beer. Tyler is a proud little brother watching Nathaniel grow into being the amazing husband and father he has become. Tyler cannot wait to have Nathaniel's calming presence and wisdom along his side as his best man.
Jill Weddle
Bridesmaid
Jill & Katie met by joining a sign-up recreational volleyball team in the fall of 2017. Though the team didn't work out, Katie & Jill have been close friends ever since. They enjoy happy hours, people, new adventures, and are in a book club together. Katie has grown to see Jill like family, and cannot imagine the day without her there.
Brady Fitzgerald
Groomsman
Brady & Tyler's relationship started way back in the early days of elementary school. Though they were not close in the beginning, they grew closer in high school and have maintained their friendship through college and beyond (despite being roommates for several years.). The two enjoy a good catch up over golf, cigars, or video games. Brady's creativity, sarcasm and fun-loving nature made him an easy pick to be a groomsman.
Jen Menary
Bridesmaid
Jen & Katie became friends after Jill invited them both to a game night a couple years back. Their friendship continues to grow, learning more about each other as they enjoy Bachelor/Bachelorette viewing nights and book club together. Admiring Jen's big heart and sense of adventure, Katie is honored to have Jen part of the wedding day, and cannot wait to see what the future holds for their friendship!
Jon Farchmin
Groomsman
Jon & Tyler met through some mutual friends in college (one of them happens to now be his wife). Their friendship's growth can be attributed to their mutual love of all things golf (playing, watching, podcasting, bachelor partying etc; are you seeing a theme, here?). Tyler appreciates Jon's friendship and practical take on life, and thus is excited to have him as part of the wedding. It was an honor to be part of Jon & Megan's wedding in 2018, and now the two get to celebrate again (likely with golf)!
Kailie Lockhart
Bridesmaid
Kailie & Katie go way back. You could even say Katie has known Kailie her whole life. On top of being close cousins growing up, Katie and Kailie worked together between 2015 and 2018 at Systems Group. The two enjoy quoting way too many movies (Mean Girls & Multiplicity to name a few), and share a similar love of photography and the occasional dark humor. Kailie is one of the most giving and kind people Katie knows, and Katie is so lucky to have Kailie there on her big day.
Jason Potter
Groomsman
Some things did not last in college, but Jason & Tyler's friendship certainly did. They spent their Thursday's home from class, creating the dumbest of games imaginable, but also memories for years to come. To stick to the theme, the one time Tyler and Jason tried to played golf, Jason "pulled a Tyler" and dislocated his shoulder (Tyler also happened to dislocate his shoulder at Jason's playing volleyball). Now the two spend their time bonding over sports betting, gin (they are on a kick lately), and the latest movies and shows. Tyler's pumped to have Jason by his side as a groomsman for the wedding.
Brooklynn Gregory
Flower Girl
This will be Brooklynn's second time around as a flower girl, so you know she has the pretty princess look down. Brooklynn is Kailie's niece, and a spunky, loving daughter to Kailie's older sister, Amanda Gregory. Her favorite color is pink (duh) and she loves hearts and stars. Katie & Tyler cannot wait to have her walk down the aisle as part of the bridal party!
Kooper Janes
Flower Girl
Kooper Quinn is the tiniest human of the bridal party. She is Tyler's youngest niece, and will be about 1 year old when duty calls. She is already a snuggle bug, and Katie & Tyler cannot wait to see what personality she will bring when the wedding day arrives!
Knox Janes
Ring Bearer
Feisty since the day he was born, Knox is Tyler's one and only nephew. He has a strong-willed mind of his own and such a joy to watch as he gets older. Katie & Tyler are thrilled (and a little curious) to see how Knox will do as their ring bearer. They are hoping he makes it down the aisle - there are rumors he's undergoing training with Oreos as his incentive.
Troy Evans
Officiant
With his calming voice and poised demeanor, Katie & Tyler could not think of a better person to marry them! He is family (Tyler's cousin), and has gotten to know both Katie & Tyler well over the last 6 years. He has a lifetime of knowledge, and the two are so excited to have him as their officiant.
John & Deborah Ballman
Parents of the Bride
Katie & Tyler cannot thank Katie's parents enough for hosting the wedding & reception. Because of them, Katie & Tyler are able to be surrounded by all their close friends and family, while enjoying wonderful food and music in a place very close to their hearts (Boulder, CO). Katie & Tyler love them so much and cannot wait to celebrate together!
Todd & Robin Janes
Parents of the Groom
Katie & Tyler are so grateful for Tyler's parents hosting the rehearsal dinner and Tyler's mom making the cake they will cut on our wedding day (mayonnaise cake, Tyler's favorite)! Their contribution helps make the day all the more special, and they are so happy to share it with them. The two love them to the moon and back a gazillion times. They would also like to thank Tyler's Uncle John & Aunt Nancy for providing (delicious) wine from their own vineyard, Whitewater Hill. Last (but not least) Katie & Tyler want to thank Tyler's cousin, Shawn, for providing a getaway car through his connections with Porsche. They promise to give it back.
