Wedding Party
Tori Allen
Maid of Honor
“Tuti” has been one of Katelin’s best friends since college, acting as a constant source of unwavering friendship and support. Fueled by pizza, she’s graciously taken on the role of unofficial wedding planner (unpaid, but deeply committed). If you need her, she’s probably helping the bride…or petting the nearest dog.
Mason Blaschke
Best Man
Mason is Joseph’s cousin and lifelong partner in crime. They grew up hunting, fishing, and wrestling. As they've grown older, they continue to do all three - only now they’ve added alcohol to the mix. Their most iconic matchup? A Christmas wrestling showdown featuring the pink bunny suit from A Christmas Story vs. Buddy the Elf. Ask for pictures! You won't regret it.
Tracy Gray
Matron of Honor
Tracy wasn’t always Katelin's Matron of Honor—in fact, they started out as enemies in elementary school (they shared a mutual friend and each was POSITIVE that she was THEIR best friend). Somewhere between that, French horn sectionals, and a trip to Iceland, they realized they were actually meant to be best pals all along. Now, Tracy is the kind of friend Katelin couldn’t imagine doing life (or this wedding) without.
Tom Johns
Groomsman
Tom and Joseph couldn’t tell you when they became friends, only that sometime in high school it just… happened. And once you know Tom, there's no going back. He’s the kind of friend you can always count on to show up when you need him. Just watch the horizon for a well-seasoned Chevy Sonic stirring up a cloud of dust on a dirt road and hope it's before he falls asleep at 8pm!
Caitlyn Burgener
Bridesmaid
Cate and the bride spent so much time together in high school that it’s a wonder Cate’s family never started charging rent—between sports, countless trips to Ortega’s, and expertly executed pranks. She’s been a constant through every season of Katelin's life and the kind of friend who never wavers. Also, she’s the one to thank (or blame) for the bride’s nickname, “Sid.”
Jarrod Brown
Groomsman
Jarrod and Joseph go way back. They were childhood friends who have logged countless hours together, mostly behind Xbox controllers. He’s also the reason Joseph knows about the rolling wheat fields of Garfield, WA. They can spend 2–3 hours on the phone at a time and somehow hang up having learned absolutely nothing—and that’s exactly how they like it.
Rachel Modersitzki
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Katelin survived medical school (and Fort Smith) together, so you might say they're trauma-bonded for life. For years, they were inseparable - if you saw one, you saw the other. They even got to live out the girlhood dream of being neighbors with your best friend. To this day, they are still each other's emergency contact for a reason: if Katelin is in crisis, Rach is who she calls!
Howie Stettmeier
Groomsman
One thing's for sure... Jojo and Howie are the definition of a "bromance." They share a mutual love for the outdoors, the Hogs, and the Bachelor. When these two are together, you never know whether they'll be hooking Joseph up to a labor contraction simulator or suturing raw chicken breasts. And while they may seem unqualified, don't worry: Howie has performed a C-section on a goat, so he's got this.
Gracie Blaschke
Bridesmaid
Katelin always jokes that Grace, lovingly referred to (by herself) as Big Mama, is her favorite Blaschke... It's unknown whether she's kidding or not. She is termed "Katelin's close personal friend who just so happens to be her fiance's sister." In fact, Joseph will openly tell you that he's jealous of the amount of time they spend on the phone and that he is always second to hear the latest gossip. The whole family knows that when the dynamic duo gets together, trouble is never far.
Clay Hamilton
Groomsman
Clay was Joseph's roommate when he lived in Fayetteville. Before moving to Tulsa, Joseph would often decline Katelin's calls while he and Clay took nightly moonlit strolls on the golf course. (Ask what happened on hole 3 at your own risk!) The host with the most, Clay would always have a meal prepared, cookies baked, or a candle lit when he knew Katelin was coming over. He also bought them their favorite housewarming gift for their new home!
Loren Alvey
Bridesmaid
Katelin and Loren go back to the good ole days at Arkansas Tech, meaning they've shared countless memories (and late night Taco Bell runs). Many years have since passed and miles may have separated them, but you can always find them reuniting for dinner at Cici's and solving the world's problems. Loren is the kind of friend that always shows up, no questions asked, and Katelin can't imagine life without her "bustie."
Matt Johnston
Groomsman
Joseph and Matt were destined to be friends... they practically had no choice since their moms are halfway joined at the hip! It's a good thing they have something in common: they both love duck hunting more than the rest of Logan County combined. They've spent countless hours camping out in freezing temps to get the best spots on the river. Sometimes they come home with more memories than ducks, but you'll never convince them that next year isn't "their year."
Katherine Cox
Bridesmaid
Kat is one of Katelin's close friends and the life of every party! They've traveled the world together, including snorkeling the world's clearest (and what felt like coldest) water in Iceland - but nothing beats the memories they made during their time as roommates in Nashville. They have experienced some of the highs and lows of life together, and they've gained a friendship that turned into family.
Logan Weisenfel
Groomsman
Logan is a man of many talents. Joseph and Logan attended both high school and college together. Many proud moments have been shared between these two. Joseph's current favorite is Logan moving to South Korea to teach English. Fun fact: Logan does not speak Korean and also has the thickest country accent one can imagine. Needless to say, if you visit Seoul and hear "y'all," Logan might've had a hand in their teaching.
Blair Atkinson
Bridesmaid
Blair and Katelin are both only children and the only cousins in the family, meaning they're really more like sisters. Throughout their childhoods they lived in different states, which resulted in many phone calls and roadtrips. They got to make up for lost time as roommates when Blair moved to Nashville. Blair has been there for every important moment Katelin can think of, and she can't imagine the big day without her by her side!
Travis Gray
Groomsman
Travis has been one of Katelin's best friends for many years, and now he's become a good friend of Joseph as well. They bonded quickly from the start over their mutual love of comedy, guns, and the great outdoors. When Tracy and Katelin are together, you can be sure to find Joseph and Trav sharing a box of Bluewing and trying their best to keep them out of trouble. The groom is glad to have Travis by his side to keep an eye on them during the reception, too!
Marisa Kin
Bridesmaid
Marisa is Joseph's older sister and has become very close with Katelin over the years. They bonded quickly over their shared millennial music and tv preferences. She is also the loving mother of Carter, the flower girl. She has the world's biggest heart, and there's nothing she wouldn't do for Carter or the people she loves. If you need her, look for the girl enjoying mom's night out on the dance floor!
Alex Kin
Groomsman
Alex, Joseph's brother-in-law, is one-of-a-kind within the Blaschke family. His drive for adventure and love of campfires is what truly sets him apart. If you want to watch his eyes light up, all you have to do is ask him about Costco. He will talk to you for hours. Joseph is 99% sure he would live within the walls of Costco is there was ever a possibility of that happening. Maybe that's the next tier of his membership?
Drew Riley
Ring Bearer
Son of Kelsi and Jordan, Drew is one of the most competitive young men there is. He has a dream of becoming a collegiate football field goal kicker and then going on to work as an NFL referee. For Christmas, he received a referee jersey and a flag from Katelin and Joseph. He then spent the rest of Christmas throwing flags and sounding the whistle at everyone for anything he considered a "holding" call.
Court Burgener
Ring Bearer
Court is the five year-old son of bridesmaid Caitlyn and Brandon Burgener and big brother to Bishop. He is the definition of a wild child! When he's not busy crushing kindergarten, he can be found hunting, fishing, or playing with his new puppy Remi. One day he decided that Katelin was his "Sissy" and now he won't call her anything else. If you're looking for Court, don't check the same place twice - he's always on the move!
Carter Kin
Flower Girl
The first grandchild of Tim and Lesley and pride & joy of Marisa and Alex, Carter loves to spend time with her "KK" and "JoJo". She may seem bashful at first, but once she warms up to you she will always want to spend time with you (and FaceTime when you're apart!). When she is upset she loves to ride the side by side with her grandpa. In fact, that may be what it takes to get her down the aisle!
