Jack & Kate
Wedding Party
Tess
Maid of Honor
Kate has known that Tess would be her Maid of Honor for many years. It was far from difficult for these two to quickly bond over their love of pizza, their guilty pleasure...reality TV, and their obsession for shopping for home good items during their junior year of high school. Tess has always been a friend that was guaranteed to stand by Kate's side during life's many events. Currently, Kate proudly has a best friend whom is a student at the University of Missouri studying a Master of Business Administration.
Clint
Best Man
Between chasing each other around in diapers and pull-ups to gaming for hours online, Jack and his younger brother, Clint, have only gotten closer as the years have gone by. With their brotherly intuition and years of memories, they have an unbreakable bond. Jack is proud to say that Clint is currently working towards a Construction Management Associate Degree at Johnson County Community College and is employed full-time by Bottorff Construction.
Shawnee
Bridesmaid
While many people find their best friends in their first year or two of college, Kate and Shawnee decided to wait until their Junior year at the University of Kansas. Their friendship quickly became a strong one through the long hours of studying for microbiology, dealing with the ever-changing aspects of being roommates, and being compatible co-workers at Pier 1 Imports. There was never a dull moment with these two attached at the hip. Although Shawnee is now preparing to save many lives as a medical student at the University of North Texas Medical School, Kate and Shawnee's friendship has proven to be unbreakable.
Ben
Best Man
It was not a difficult decision to make when picking Ben as a Best Man. Being Jack's older brother, Ben set many examples for Jack and aided him in growing up to be the man he is today. Now, they spend the majority of their time together talking all things gaming and technology, which is not hard to do with Ben being employed by Garmin International.
Kristin
Bridesmaid
It was an easy assumption to make that Kristin would be standing beside Kate on her special day. Kristin, being Kate's first sister, has always kept Kate on her toes with her witty jokes. As if having red hair is not enough to prove they're sisters, their love for coffee, hours spent at each other's drill team competitions, and enthusiasm for the Jayhawks takes their sisterhood further. Kristin is studying to get a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Kansas, with hopes of continuing on to graduate school.
Rob
Groomsman
It's hard to call work "work" with Rob as one of Jack's coworkers. Not only do they spend time making memories together at work, but they enjoy discovering all of the different sauces to coat their chicken wings with during their lunch breaks. They're no strangers to Buffalo Wild Wings and The Peanut. Jack is lucky to have Rob as an Information Technology System Administrator with him at Shamrock Trading Corporation.
Emily
Bridesmaid
As though life was not good enough with one sister, Kate had the joy of growing up with her youngest sister, Emily, by her side as well. They spent hours upon hours supporting each other at drill team competitions and continue to support each other throughout the transition to adulthood. Emily and Kate are self-defined shopaholics. If there's a new ice cream shoppe to be tested, they'll be there together. While Kate prefers to support the Jayhawks, she can't help but to support Emily in her work toward a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and future in physical therapy as a Kansas State University Wildcat.
Austin
Groomsman
While most college students were out partying, Jack was occupied with his late nights of gaming with Austin. Their relationship started when Jack would game with Austin, Charlie, Jordan, and Ben. Years later, Jack attends a yearly gaming convention with Austin. Austin is currently employed by Swagelok.
Kaitlyn
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn and Kate knew of each other since their middle school days at Chisholm Trail and throughout their high school years at Olathe South, but did not form their solid relationship until Kaitlyn had been dating Jack's younger brother, Clint, for a couple of years. Now, they spend many hours talking over margaritas, relaxing while getting their nails done, and supporting one another throughout all of life's ups and downs. Kate has another future life saver by her side as Kaitlyn is studying a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at MidAmerica Nazarene University with the hopes of becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner.
Jordan
Groomsman
Bonding over many hours playing Rocket League seemed to be the perfect way to form the friendship that Jack has with Jordan. While Jack was in college, he and Jordan would game late into the night together. Now, they go to an annual gaming convention together and participate in 24-hour gaming sessions in order to raise money for charity. Jordan works alongside his brother, Austin, at Swagelok.
Britt
Bridesmaid
Kate has known Britt since Britt began dating Ben, Jack's older brother, five years ago. They met for the very first time while playing cards at the Blankenship household. They have spent many hours eating Mexican food on Friday nights at José Pepper's with the Blankenship family and gossiping about the Bachelor and Bachelorette. Currently, Britt is employed by RTS financial and is working towards a Bachelor of Science in Sociology at Fort Hays State University.
Charlie
Groomsman
Jack and Charlie have been friends since their days at Blackbob Elementary School. From family vacations to gaming, they've spent many hours together. Jack and Charlie attend an annual gaming convention. Their friendship has lasted the test of time. Charlie is a United States Navy veteran and is currently employed at Ice-Masters as a Service Technician.
