Wedding Party
Caitlin Castillejos
Maid of Honor
Caitlin and Kaia have been best friends since age 5. Despite distance and time, their friendship has remained unbreakable. Kaia has always wished that Caitlin would be her maid of honor; she cannot believe it's finally coming true!
Eric Shivey
Best Man
A friend is a gift you give yourself… Former bandmate and skateboard legend, Eric Shivey will be fulfilling the role of “Best Man”… and man o man… we’re all better for it. Eric and Kevin met in a flurry of High-School-English-Class hijinks. Hilarity ensued, and they became instant friends. Many years and places and adventures since, Kevin is honored to have such a well-spoken friend indeed. Salud!
Nola McDonald
Bridesmaid
Nola is Kaia's brother Andrew's fiance! Nola is always the life of the party and Kaia has had a blast getting to know her over the years. Kaia cannot believe how lucky she is to be adding an amazing sister to the family in 2025.
Matt Cox
Groomsman
Although having met briefly in High School, Matt and Kevin’s friendship truly blossomed in the years just following college. A wild time to be alive, and wilder with him in it, Kevin is grateful for the years of laughs and good-naturedness Matt brings to the table. If you don’t know Matt just yet, don’t worry… it will become obvious which one he is out on the dance floor. Thanks for joining us Matt!
Katie Lehman

Mike Hlebovy
Groomsman
Arguably the best looking of the lot, Mike Hlebovy or “Bovy” as he’s affectionately known has been a mainstay in Kevin’s life for a couple decades now… crazy to think. From their earliest days as classmates, hockey teammates, and beyond, Bovy has been a solid and dependable friend. He and Kevin have endeavored on a multitude of adventures together including cross-country camping trips, and snow-shoeing in the Great Divide. Lucky to have ya Bov!

Andrew Ladd

Andrew is Kaia's younger brother… the tall one… ok the tall one with dark hair… ok the tall one with dark hair and loves sports… nevermind. Kevin met Andrew very shortly after he and Kaia started dating during Andrew's Halloween weekend visit to Cleveland with his fiance Nola. Kevin won over Andrew pretty quickly (and visa-versa) that weekend and cannot wait to have more adventures with Andrew and Nola! Thanks Bruv!
Julia Chalif
Bridesmaid
Julia is Kaia's ride-or-die best friend from her time in residency at Cleveland Clinic.
