Caitlin & Ian
Wedding Party
Meghan Leach
Matron of Honor
Caitlin has looked up to Meghan since the day she was born (even though Meghan looks up to Caitlin now because she is taller). Meghan has been not only an amazing sister, but a true best friend to Caitlin. Through many ups and downs, fights, tears, heartaches, and laughs -- Meghan has been a constant rock for Caitlin year after year. Sisters by blood, and best friends by choice, there isn't anyone else in the world that Caitlin would want by her side as she says I do.
Kristin Runkel
Bridesmaid
Family doesn't always have to be blood, and Kristin is a true example of that. Caitlin met Kristin in 2001 as her sister and Kristin were (and still are) best friends. Over the years, Caitlin grew to love Kristin as a big sister and someone she looks up to. Caitlin is excited to have Kristin by her side, along with her daughter as one of the flower girls.
Amanda Meher
Bridesmaid
Who would have thought that softball camp in the summer of 1999 would have created lifelong friends. Amanda and Caitlin met at Colgate softball camp when they were 12. Even though the two have spent their entire friendship long distance, the two have created an ultimate bond. Sisters at heart, Caitlin couldn't imagine her wedding without Amanda by her side.
Greg Lisman

Jillian Olson

Rachel Gilbert
Bridesmaid
Another friend made while working at a restaurant, Caitlin met Rachel in 2013 at Bonefish. Suprised to meet someone who was louder than her, Rachel and Caitlin became instant friends.
