Maid of Honor
Rachel met Kaitie in a dual enrollment program when they were 16, and they've been close ever since. Rachel has recently moved to Virginia and is currently persuing a law degree, despite Kaitie's warnings. She's insanely smart and funny, and never afraid to try something new. She's the kind of person that'll encourage you to finish a story, even if other people in the group start talking over you. All of which make her a great Maid of Honor.
Best Man
Vincent is the oldest of the Pirone siblings, and probably the most financially responsible of the trio, even if he is always late. He's also a good friend and full of wisdom, which made him the perfect choice to be Austin's Best Man.
Bridesmaid
Cole is Claire's partner and one of Kaitie's close friends. They also met in dual enrollment when they were 16, but didn't become close friends until they'd moved on to the University of Georgia. Cole has a wicked green thumb and super generous spirit, and often houses Kaitie and Austin when they visit Athens and Kaitie's alma mater. They are also the pseudo proud parent of the ugliest and cutest dog in the world, Loki.
Bridesmaid
Claire is Cole's partner and one of Kaitie's close friends. Claire also met Kaitie in their dual enrollment program, though Claire was the year ahead of her. They didn't become close though until they'd both moved on to the University of Georgia. Claire is an amazing story teller, especially after a glass of wine, and often houses Kaitie and Austin when they visit Athens and Kaitie's alma mater.
Bridesmaid
Alex and Kaitie also met during their time in dual enrollment when they were 16. Alex always has a wonderful attitude and is passionate about everything she does, which makes her a perfect addition to Kaitie's bridal party.

CeCe is Austin's youngest sibling and the daughter of Christopher Pirone and Irma Rodriguez-Pirone. She loves to act in theatrical productions in school and dance Folklorico in her spare time. She joins Kaitie's two young cousins to help the day go smoothly.
Junior Bridesmaid
Lola is Kaitie's cousin, and will be helping alongside CeCe and Maggie Belle to help the day go smoothly. She loves to go on hiking and biking adventures with her dad and brother, and especially so when their rescue dog Lemonade gets to tag along.
Junior Bridesmaid
Maggie Belle is Kaitie's younger cousin, and will be helping the wedding day run smoothly alongside Lola and CeCe. She's a talented violinist, and also loves to join her family on hiking and biking adventures.
Groomsman
Taylor is Austin's younger brother and the youngest of the Pirone sons. He's witty and funny, and can probably kick your butt in video games (regardless of title).
Groomsman
Bobby and Austin met through the local cosplay community and have quickly become good friends. Bobby loves to host game nights and is just a positive and encouraging person, be it for creative or career endeavours.
Groomsman
Trevor is Kaitie's younger brother, but in many ways he's already been a younger brother to Austin too over the nearly 10 years they've known eachother. Trevor loves to crack jokes, even if they're sometimes badly timed. But he's smart, funny, and hyper creative, and you'll most often catch him planning a new campaign for his DnD gaming group.
Flower Girl
Mary Ella is Kaitie's cousin and Landon's older sister. She's honestly one of the cutest kids you'll ever see, but better than that she's smart, kind, and generous, and one a hell of a girl scout. Seriously, she's a hardcore cookie pusher.
Ring Bearer
Landon is Kaitie's cousin and Mary Ella's little brother. He's incredibly adorable, but more so he's smart and funny and ready to take on the world. This boy scout is ready to rock this!
Mother of the Bride
Rebecca is Kaitie's mom and the real mastermind behind the day's festivities. She's full of advice and wanderlust, and if you're up to travel she'll make sure it's an adventure. It's because of her encouragement through art and academia that Kaitie is the crafty lawyer she is today (pun intended). Rebecca and Mike have come to love Austin as just another member of the family and are excited to see them start their future together.
Father of the Bride
Michael is Kaitie's father and a promising entrepreneur, if he ever acts on his brilliant ideas. Alas, he's giving it all up to follow his dream of being a doctor. He's good with his hands and can always be counted on for help and advice. He often spends more time in his workshop than in the house. Rebecca and Michael have come to love Austin as just another member of the family and are excited to see them start their future together.
Mother of the Groom
Melodie is Austin's mom and is always up to join you for an event. She loves to give advice and helps those around her whenever she can. She's welcomed Kaitie into her home from the beginning and is excited to have another daughter-in-law. She doesn't mind cutting off the "in-law" part.
Father of the Groom
Christopher is Austin's dad and helped Austin with his proposal to Kaitie at Disneyland, and was elated when she said yes. He's also an amazing cook and loves to challenge new recipes and host family with his wife Irma, and is excited to see it grow.
Groom
Austin is nearly finished with his plumbing apprenticeship with Local 72. He hopes to go back to school after he and Kaitie are settled to finish his degree and certifications in cybersecurity and networking. He's excited to get his first passport stamp on the honeymoon to Ireland, and to keep experiencing new things with Kaitie for many years to come.
Bride
Kaitie is currently working in mediation and compliance while working on her L.L.M. in Health Law. She hopes to, one day, actually be done with school. She's excited to see Ireland for the first time with Austin on their honeymoon, and to keep seeing new places with him for many years to come.
