Rank: Bridesmaid (in distress) Strength: 10/10 (I am smawll but don’t mess with me) Stamina: 10/10 (I run marathons) Loaf Level: Pain au chocolat from Fresh Baguette Georgetown (IYKYK) Personality: an angel whose halo is held up by her horns. Kathy and I first met during preference round at sorority recruitment at Miami University, and from the very first conversation, I knew it was something special—a connection that would last a lifetime. It all started with a hilarious commercial featuring a miniature giraffe. I can’t even remember exactly what we said, but we were laughing so hard and vibing so instantly that it felt like magic. That moment set the tone for a friendship that has carried us through the wildest ups and downs of life—the sheer joy, the ridiculous realities, and the toughest low points. I’ll always be grateful for this amazing woman and the unshakable bond we share.

They bonded yet again with Anne over potlucks of delicious food and laughter. Courtney was fortunate enough to watch Kathy and Hunter’s relationship blossom and grow. She is thrilled to be apart of their wedding and celebrate their love.
