Wedding Party
Jacquie Seda
Matron of Honor
Jacquie is Katie's favorite sister—and, of course, her Matron of Honor. She represents Katie's longest and most treasured friendship.

Growing up, Jacquie was the ultimate role model for Katie, setting the standard with her success in academics, sports, career, and building a loving family. Jacquie is a natural teacher, she's responsible for Katie knowing how to tie her shoes and tell time. Which makes sense why Katie is usually late.. (joking). Katie is perfect with timing. Jacquie is a proud mom of three children with her husband, Ivan. They live on Queen Anne hill, just a mile from Katie & Kyle, and see each other regularly for weekend get-togethers and family celebrations. Jacquie is best known for her warm, easygoing nature—she gets along with everyone and brings a joyful energy to every room. It’s no surprise she was crowned Homecoming Queen and voted Miss Congeniality in her sorority.

Good news—they both passed! They stayed close throughout their time at WSU, holding leadership positions in AOII and eventually becoming senior-year roommates (along with Shawny). After college, Kaitlin studied graphic design abroad in Australia, which inspired Katie's very first international trip to visit Kait.

She’s since worked for several major hotel brands and has lived in cities across the U.S., building a wide range of experience in the field.

Mandy Legg
Bridesmaid
Katie met Mandy at her first job after college at PitchBook Data. On her very first day, Katie shadowed Mandy, watching her confidently make cold calls and book meetings with prospective customers. During one of those early shadowing sessions, Katie witnessed a customer serenade Mandy over the phone. Mandy quickly assured her this was not a typical occurrence. The two burst into laughter in front of the entire office—and their friendship was instant from that moment on. To this day, more than ten years later, Katie will still call Mandy and sing that same exact song to relive the memory. Mandy now works at Salesforce as an executive sales engineer. She married her husband, Christian, in 2023, and the two are close friends with Katie & Kyle. Mandy and Christian live in their spacious home in Kirkland and are dedicated marathon runners.

Groomsman
Elliott is one of Kyle’s closest friends, bonded by a shared sense of silliness and the ability to turn any moment into a good time.

Kyle and Elliott's friendship began at the SAE chapter and grew stronger during their time working together at The Coug. For the sake of business continuity, their shifts were wisely kept to a minimum—too much fun behind the bar might’ve shut the place down.

And if you hear someone shout “LISTEN!” at the wedding, don’t worry—it’s just Jessica doing what she does best.
Bryant Smick
Groomsman
Bryant and Kyle met during their time at WSU, living just across the hall from each other in the fraternity. They quickly bonded over video games, watersports, terrible movies, and an ever-evolving repertoire of creative pranks.

Bryant studied rhetoric at WSU and now serves as deputy general counsel for a tech company. He lives in Snohomish with his wife, Katie, and their son, Skyler. Together, they enjoy traveling the world as much as they enjoy their weekend getaways to Coeur d’Alene. Bryant is also known for his restaurant expertise.
