Kaitlyn & Alexandria
Wedding Party
Leah Paynter
Maid of Honor
Leah is Alex's much taller, younger sister. She enjoys playing the Sims, is detail-oriented, loves a good party, and has a weird obsession with the Titanic. (Seriously, don't bring it up if you don't want to spend the next two hours talking about boats). Looking back, Alex and Leah always bonded over music and song trivia. Alex is very excited to have her big little sister to help her enjoy the day.
Megan Comai
Maid of Honor
Megan is Kaitlyn's older sister. She loves books, puzzles, and all things solitude. Megan was Kaitlyn's first friend even though you couldn't tell with how hard Megan sometimes tried to evade her "annoying little sister". Growing up Kaitlyn and Megan had to share everything, so it makes sense that she is by her side to share the big day.
Jared Pendowski
Bridesman
Jared is Alex's Bridesman. Jared loves spending time with family, watching soccer, and nerding out over Star Wars. The Brides became friends when his wife Josie pulled him into the friend group. Jared is known to be "go with the flow" but knows when to be the life of the party (As long it is before his 10pm bedtime). Although he is too manly to admit it, Jared enjoys being a part of the group and being "one of the girls".
Storm Trooper Jared
Swift responder to civil unrest and insurrection
He is like normal Jared, but in a mask and has bad aim
Kaitlyn Oehring
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is Alex's Bridesmaid. She loves spending time with her cats, watching nostalgic childhood movies, and making the best bread on this side of the river. The Brides met Kaitlyn while working at a domestic violence shelter in their undergrad. Kaitlyn quickly became one of their best friends due to a shared sense of humor and similar career passions. Kaitlyn is sure to be seen hyping people up on the dancefloor and ensuring the brides party hard. She is here for a good time not a long time.
Josie Pendowski
Bridesmaid
Josie is Kaitlyn's Bridesmaid. She loves watching trashy reality tv shows (the more drama the better), getting cozy with her Kindle, and being an absolute peach. The brides met Josie while working at a domestic violence shelter in their undergrad. It quickly became clear that Josie is the ultimate "girls girl" and is incredibly supportive. Josie is the sweetheart of the group which means we follow one simple rule. No one is mean to Josie! (Although this means her husband gets double the teasing).
Regina Paynter
Mother of the Bride
Regina is Alex's Mom. She loves reading 8,000 books a day, being the "treat dealer" for her dogs and grand-kitties, and making the best charcuterie boards. Alex says she inherited her Mom's attitude, sense of humor, and strong will. One of Alex's favorite memories is dancing in the living room to ABBA with her Mom. Alex's Mom held her hands when teaching her to walk and will now hold her hands while walking her down the aisle.
Kevin Comai
Bridesman
Kevin is Kaitlyn's Brother and oldest sibling. He loves playing games and watching Youtube. Growing up Kaitlyn and Kevin always got on each other's nerves but through maturing they have learned to appreciate their differences and have found they have more in common than they thought. Kaitlyn is excited to have her older brother there to crack jokes and keep everyone on their toes.
Scott Paynter
Father of the Bride
Scott is Alex's Dad. He loves anime, playing video games, and finding the most obscure (and mostly dumb) horror movies ever created. Looking back Alex states her fondest memories of her Dad include him breaking the light with his foot trying to do a cartwheel in the living room She also really enjoyed him helping her and Leah make a slingshot to surprise attack Mom when she got home. Alex feels lucky to have her Dad's support and love on her big day.
Samantha Zeluff
Flower Girl
Sam is the flower girl and Kaitlyn's younger sister. She is the definition of carefree and is sure to bring a smile to your face. Sam is a vibrant bundle of energy, packed with a fun, outgoing, and bubbly personality that's simply infectious. With a carefree spirit and a playful sense of humor, she's the ultimate party animal. And if you're wondering how she manages to have so much energy all the time, the answer is simple: she's secretly powered by sugar, spice, and sunshine.
Kimberly Comai
Mother of the Bride
Kimberly is Kailtyn's Mom. Kimberly enjoys spending time with her kids, traveling, and buying more candles than any girl could ever need. While her Dad gave her tough love, Kaitlyn says her Mom provided her with the softer side. Kaitlyn is grateful that her Mom was always there to help her navigate the difficult landscape of life and reminding her to focus on the brighter side and that the sun always comes out after it rains. Kaitlyn couldn't enjoy her wedding day without her Mom and is happy to make more memories.
Fred Comai
Father of the Bride
Fred is Kaitlyn's dad. He loves movies, playing board games with family, and sitting by the fire. He is hard-working and has the humor you would expect from a man with gray hair and three kids (Full of dad jokes). Growing up he always gave Kaitlyn the tough love she needed. He is now there to be supportive, give age-old wise advice, and listen to Kaitlyn's hour-long gossip sessions. Kaitlyn wouldn't be where she is today with out his love and support and is happy to have it on her big day.
Elizabeth Comai
Step Mother of the Bride
Liz is Kaitlyn's Stepmom. She enjoys nerding out over TV shows, camping, and adventuring with her two cats and dog. Kaitlyn was young when her Dad and Liz got married and she is grateful to have her in the family. Kaitlyn remembers Liz always braiding her hair when she was younger. Kaitlyn remembers often thinking "when I get older I want to be cool like Liz". One of Kaitlyn's favorite memories was being a bridesmaid in her Dad and Liz's wedding and now she is excited to have Liz be a part of her wedding day.
