Wedding Party

Ashley Zofkie

Maid of Honor

The Brides favorite memory with Ashley: Ashley is my one and only sibling. We are Irish Twins, only 10 months apart! I remember when we were very young, still living in our first house in Chicago. We used to collect all kinds of small things like superballs. We would put all of them into a bucket, turn her ceiling fan on high, and throw the balls all up there at the same time. We would then duck for cover and laugh like crazy as we both, inevitably got pelted by superballs!

Jimmy Garland

Best Man

When we were younger, Mike wanted the same hair cut as me. However, my hairline had a widow's peak and his was rounded. So he cried after his haircut, upset she didn't shave his hairline to look like mine. And as we see today, hairlines are so very temporary in our family . Now I’m kind of thinking of copying his haircut!

Taylor Engel

Matron of Honor

The Brides best memory with Taylor: When we were kids, our family used to do Christmas Eve at Taylor's house. The group of us girl cousins would huddle in her playroom and choose a song we were going to "perform" for the group of family that night. Taylor and I always argued over who got to be Baby Spice if we were doing a Spice Girls song. The argument? She was blonde so she should get to be the blonde Spice Girl. But I was older, so I should get to pick first. Eventually, I would convince her that Ginger Spice was a better choice for her. Haha

Mike is my best friend. We met just out of high school through some mutual friends. I was with Mike the night I saw my, now wife, for the first time. I instantly fell in love with her. I was standing next to Mike asking "Who is that girl?" "I don't know who she is, but I'm gonna marry her." So I am so happy I can now be a part of Mike and Katie's special day and get to see the way Mike looks at her like there's no one else on the planet who compares.

Kaite Engle

Bridesmaid

The Brides favorite memory with Kaite: I have way too many memories with Kaite to pick a favorite, so I’ll start with the first… When I first met Kaite she was dating one of my friends. And for a good few months we thought we hated each other. (We both have a problem with RBF.) One night at a party, we discovered that neither of us disliked the other and our friendship started immediately. A few months later, my friend broke up with her and I told him that was just too bad because there was no way I would stop being friends with her. From there, we pretty much became inseparable and I am so glad to call her my best friend now.

Julie Contesso

Bridesmaid

The Brides favorite memory with Julie: Julie is definitely the funniest person I know. I cannot pinpoint a favorite memory with her because they are all great. But she definitely has the BEST one liners ever! There are things she probably said years ago that will will still joke around about to this day, and it just brings everyone back to that funn time all over again.

Mike Kocur

Groomsman

Ashley Dawson

Bridesmaid

The Brides favorite memory with Ashley: My favorite memory with Ashley was when we went to the Cross Town Classic for her birthday! We had a whole huge group of us that all went together and it was a blast! Then afterwards, we all just hung out on the back of a truck in her driveway acting like fools but having so much fun together!

I've known Michael for nearly a decade, and in that time he has become a trusted friend. Katie, there's three things you probably already know about Michael; he's going to treat you right, you're going to have lots of laughter, and he can eat more sushi than any human I've ever met. I'm so happy to see him so happy, and I'm excited to witness your special day.

Paige Preist

Bridesmaid

The Brides favorite memory with Paige: Paige is always down to try anything. One year, she came on a family vacation with me. My sister took us cliff jumping. I am terrified of heights so Paige said we could jump together holding hands. We get up to the front of the cliff and start counting down... Then I go to jump and Paige just stops dead in her tracks and lets go of my hand and I go down alone. She did eventually jump after me, but now we always joke about how she chickened out.

Rick Mathis

Groomsman

Mike and I meet on my first day at Dupage County. We hit it off right at the beginning and have become great friends since. From taking camping trips, to holiday party’s, I can always count on Mike to be there for me and my family!!

Caroline Colantoni

Bridesmaid

The Brides best memory with Caroline: Caroline and I went to ISU together. We met by chance, but it was probably the best thing that happened to me in college. My favorite memory is probably from when we went to Mexico for my 25th birthday. We had so much fun and so many laughs. She even brought me chicken nuggets when i was a little overserved and couldn't make it to dinner!

Joe Micholson

Groomsman

Mike and I met at work. He was just promoted to an FTO. I was out being a rover and I introduced myself and had heard he was a car guy too. So I showed him the car my pops and I built and we have been good friends since.

Michaelyn Engel

Bridesmaid

The Brides favorite memory with Michaelyn: We call Michaelyn my twin, she's so much like me, and looks more like my mom and I than her own family. I grew up babysitting her and her older brother. My absolute favorite memory with her was my Prom. My group of friends did pictures at my aunts house and Michaelyn was about 5/6 at the time. She looked at me and my friends like we were princesses. We took such cute pictures together too. Very recently, Michaelyn went to Prom. She looked beautiful and we got to recreate the pictures we took at my Prom and it was so much fun!
