Kate & Ben
Wedding Party
Anna Giglio
Maid of Honor
Katie’s younger sister and first bff who never fails to make you laugh! Anna is the most selfless human in the world and will definitely be the first on the dance floor!
Jacob Frantz
Best Man
Ben and Jake have known each other since their days in Sunday School. Little did they know back then, they would become roommates and best friends during their college days at WKU. Ben and Jake often enjoy discussing movies, sports, and tv shows. They have been known to only speak to each other in “inside jokes and movie quotes.”
Sarah Mulcahy
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Katie instantly became best friends in freshman biology class @ McAuley (all the way back in 2007.... WHAT!). After 7 years of living in different states (2+ hours apart) we FINALLY live less than 20 minutes from each other and every moment we spend together is even sweeter.
Phil Pearson
Groomsman
Ben met Phil freshman year of college at WKU on the 7th floor of Minton Hall. Phil quickly became one of Ben’s best friends along with Jacob and Adam. The four have been inseparable since. Aside from piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, Phil enjoys watching Liverpool soccer, deliberating American history and law, and playing Xbox with his friends. He's also a St. Louis Cardinals fan, but Phil's just such a stand-up guy that we don't hold it against him.
Myesha Jewell
Bridesmaid
One of the most loving, beautiful souls you will meet and she will make you laugh until your cheeks hurt. Myesha and Katie met in high school and have been amigas ever since.
Adam Rumohr
Groomsman
Whenever you’re in the mood for chips & queso, Adam is your man. Ben and Adam have been best buds since freshman year of college along with Jake and Phil. Known for generally having the best luck in the group, Adam is a loving and loyal friend who is always good to have by your side, let alone on your wedding day!
Molly Boeckermann
Bridesmaid
Katie and Anna’s “other sister!” Molls has a heart of pure gold. Molly had initially been integrated into the Giglio family as Anna’s best friend in 2012 but somewhere along the line the tables turned a little bit when Molly & Alex (Katie & Anna’s brother) started dating, so now we are all just one big happy family!
Connor Louis
Groomsman
Connor is Ben’s oldest friend. They’ve been bros since preschool at Trent Montessori and continued all through grade/middle school at St. Thomas and high school at Villa Madonna. Connor’s favorite movie is JURASSIC PARK, and he enjoys going out to the bars, playing guitar, drinking pumpkin beer, and playing Xbox. If anybody has been like a brother to Ben his entire life, it’s Connor.
Hannah Boehnlein
Bridesmaid
Katie and Hannah first became friends on the school bus when Hannah was in first grade & Katie was in second. Hannah is the best karaoke partner in the world and her level head has always balanced Katie’s type-A personality.
Ryan Schroth
Groomsman
Since there won’t be enough good looking Italian boys at this wedding, Ben is pleased to have Ryan by his side on this special day. Ben & Ryan have been buddies since high school biology class with Sr. Nancy. Ryan has been a close, loyal friend of Ben’s into their adult years as they enjoy hanging out, playing music, going to Reds & Bengals games, and quoting Spongebob.
Nora Ludwig
Bridesmaid
Nora is Katie’s “little” cousin & was Katie’s real life babydoll. They used to spend their Friday night making jello and watching movies while Katie babysat and now Nora is the official “babysitter” of Baker, Ben & Katie’s beloved pup.
Michael Haynes
Groomsman
Mike & Ben have known each other since 1st grade at St. Thomas. Mike has been a loyal friend of Ben’s for years, having played soccer & basketball together and sharing a mutual affection for sports, video games, and the outdoors. Ben is lucky to have Mike by his side on his wedding day.
Ellie Conniff
Bridesmaid
The first time Ellie and Kate met was at a Mexican restaurant which just seems so fitting for these new soon-to-be sisters! Ellie is Ben’s younger sister who definitely got the creative genes! While we don’t get to spend as much time together as we’d like we love watching her make her dreams come true in Portland, OR!
Alex Giglio
Groomsman
It’s always tough getting past a girl’s brother, but Ben miraculously figured it out and has had nothing but love and respect for Alex since they first met. Alex and Ben have bonded over cool, crisp beers, lake time, and pepperoni pizza on the Fay Martin docks along Indian River in Michigan. Ben is thrilled to be gaining not just a wife in Kate, but a brother in Alex.
Nora Mulcahy
Flower Girl
Nora is the miniature version of Katie’s best friend and bridesmaid, Sarah. Filled with sweetness and spunk, this little girl filled every corner of Katie’s heart from the day she was born.
Marquis “MJ” Brown
Ring Bearer
MJ steals the show with his adorable grin and giggle any time he's around. He gets his big heart from his mom, Katie’s friend and bridesmaid, Myesha. While MJ loves Katie and Ben, he only agreed to be the ring bearer because he gets to walk with his bestie, Nora (hopefully in 20 years we will be attending their wedding 🤞🏼).
