Zsofi is Kaitlyn's BESTFRIEND. Zsofi and Kaitlyn met through swimming at Fairmont State University, both being distance swimmers! Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Zsofi are her abilities to read Kaitlyn's mind, her being an amazing friend at all times, and her incredible GPS skills (seriously, this lady is Maps in human form).
Best Man
Michael Miller has been a lifetime friend to both Kaitlyn & Tyler, starting back in their days at Weir High School. Fun Fact, Michael almost didn't even make the invite list (jk!). Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Michael are his humor (seriously, he is a funny guy), his incredible friendship to them for so long, and his Pokemon card collection.

Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Alexis are her adventurous nature, her loving and giving personality, and her giving them their love for Sand-Clouds (not sponsored) :).
Groomsman
Tyler is Kaitlyn's brother, and Tyler's soon-to-be brother-in-law. Tyler has had to deal with being known as "brother Tyler" for 10 years because of Tyler Virtue! Kaitlyn and Tyler's (fiance Tyler) favorite things about Tyler (brother Tyler) are his laid-back personality, his insanely cool cars (seriously, look up TxStumpy on insta to see this man's paint jobs on his Evo and Supra), and his love for their dog, Bear (also known as Petr, Blubber, Blubby, Chicken, Pig, Baby Dog, etc).
Bridesmaid
Lily is Kaitlyn's cousin, who she often refers to as a sister (just like Leah!). Lily competed at the collegiate level in soccer, but has recently joined the NARP club with Kaitlyn & Tyler. Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Lily are her bold and fun personality, her ability to yell at random people out of moving cars, and that she got hit by a quad, yet she totaled the quad (long story!).
Groomsman
Nathan is a long-time friend of both Kaitlyn and Tyler, who they met through swimming at Fairmont State. Now, they are all apart of the NARP club! Kaitlyn & Tylers favorite things about Nathan are his calm natured personality, going on random adventures to explore at anytime of day (or night!), and his willingness to always be there for shot-gun-o-clock (IYKYK).
Bridesmaid
Leah is Kaitlyn's cousin, (also known as Lee Lee) who she often refers to as a sister (just like Lil!). Kaitlyn has known Leah for her whole life, and Leah has known Tyler for 10 years (weird, right?)! Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Leah are her silly and fun nature, her ability to make anyone feel comfortable and laugh, her toe-thumb, and her mac-n-cheese!
Groomsman
Gunner is Kaitlyn & Tylers long-time friend that they met through Fairmont State Swimming! Gunner is a part of the Jake and the Boys (Tyler told me to write this?). Kaitlyn & Tylers favorite things about Gunner are his work ethic, his original idea to create a scavenger hunt for Kaitlyn and Mara during college (but also make them think they had a stalker), and that most things in his home are handmade by himself!
Bridesmaid

Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Cath are her kind heart, being an amazing friend to both of them for years, and her cute doggie Kiara. Actually, Cath and Tyler were roommates for a whole year (don't ask questions!).
Groomsman

Kaitlyn & Tylers favorite things about Pedro are his go-getter personality, cute doggie Kiara, willingness to play golf at any time of day, and whatever that voice is that him and Tyler talk to each other in, OOF (Cat will know what we are talking about).
Bridesmaid
Tess is Kaitlyn & Tyler's longtime friend since middle school. Actually, some may believe Kaitlyn & Tyler may not be together unless Tess & her sister Chloe questioned Kaitlyn about her feelings for him! Kaitlyn & Tyler's favorite things about Tess are her friendship that has lasted for over a decade, her wise and kind heart, and her willingness to always be there for them both! "Maybe a pop, too?" :)
Groomsman

Flower Girl
Issis is Kaitlyn's cousin and a true Stumpf to her core! She is funny, stubborn, and an amazing athlete. Kaitlyn & Tyler feel honored to have her as their flower girl! Fun Fact, Kaitlyn was Jeff Stumpf's (Issis' father) best man in his wedding! Don't ask any questions :)
Ring Bearer & Bear Wrangler
Did you really expect anyone else to be our Ring Bearer, other than Bear?! Nathan is the best person to be able to handle our unpredictable ring bearer. If we trust anyone to handle Bear, it is Nate! Kaitlyn & Tyler are super grateful to have Nate be apart of their big day. Nate is always a good time, amazing at any sport he does, and the best Litrun (don't tell the girls).
You get the most amazing view of the bridge from here, and it takes just 1 minute after you park to walk to it! This is a must see, only 20 minutes from our venue.
Seriously, who wouldn't want to pet that cute face? :) (if you call him fat and/or ugly you will be asked to leave)
