Kate & Grant
Wedding Party
Emma Roth
Maid of Honor
Emma is Kate's younger sister/built-in Maid of Honor. She is known for her happy-go-lucky attitude and people skills, just kidding do not mess with her. Emma and Kate have shared all of their big moments with each other and this sharing spirit also extends to their closets (sometimes without permission). In all seriousness, Kate feels very lucky her parents gave her a best friend for life and Kate is very excited to have Emma by her side. Emma is currently a Junior in high school at Notre Dame Prep.
Cole Chappell
Best Man
Cole is Grant's younger brother/built-in Best Man. He is known for his singing and height (he is 6'5). Cole and Grant shared a room together for 16 years, and whenever they are together it is like no time has passed. He will be graduating from the United States Military Academy in May 2022 and will proceed to shoot big guns for the next five years.
Caitlin Fitzgerald
Bridesmaid
Caitlin is Kate's best friend from high school. You won't hear Kate call her Caitlin though, she will forever be "Fitz". Fitz and Kate have had many adventures together and these did not stop after high school. They are yin to each others yang and have a very cool Euchre handshake to prove it. Their friends and family members are sometimes overwhelmed by the energy in the room when they are together. Fitz is currently getting her doctorate in physical therapy at Mount Union. Kate and Fitz's dream scenario is to be referring patients to each other someday.
Toby Roth
Groomsman
Toby is Kate's younger brother, and a genuine friend of Grant's. Ever since Kate and Grant started dating Toby has treated Grant like a brother. Toby will be graduating from the University of Michigan in 2023 and will proceed to make money moves.
Erica Chappell
Bridesmaid
Erica is Grant's older sister and Kate's favorite person to talk wedding stuff with. Erica and Kate have been scheming about their future weddings for years so it is only right that she is part of team-bride for this day. Erica is also known to be the toughest Chappell to win approval from, so one of Kate's greatest accomplishments to date is getting Erica's blessing on day 1. Erica currently works for the hospital administration at St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor. Stay tuned for when she runs a hospital system someday.
Nick Russell
Groomsman
Nick and Grant became friends through Grant's sister Erica. Nick and Erica started dating around the same time as Kate and Grant. Nick is the biggest Lebron James fan, to a fault. He is a blast to be around on family vacations and his sense of humor will make him the life of the party. Nick is the only person with two roles in the wedding because of how cool he is.
Emma Chappell
Bridesmaid
Emma is Grant's younger sister, not to be confused with Kate's younger sister (their similarities extend beyond their names so it can be confusing at times). Kate and Emma frequently team up in the mission to keep Grant humble. Kate will forever root for Emma during ping-pong match-ups against Grant. Emma is currently a student at University of North Carolina Wilmington being a volleyball superstar. Her moves on the court are even better than her serves on the ping-pong table.
Jacob Traver
Groomsman
Jacob is Grant's friend from high school, only because Grant gave him some Powerade after a football game where Grant played a total of 0 minutes. Jacob is a loyal and true compadre. Jacob is currently working and making a fortune. If you have any money issues, go to him.
Alli Seeley
Bridesmaid
Alli is Kate's childhood best friend and longtime neighbor. She is also said to be the "funniest person" Kate knows. Alli and Kate met at a dance class when they were four. Even though Kate didn't continue with dance (if you've met Kate you know how uncoordinated she is) their friendship remains strong to this day. Fun Fact: Alli "designed" Kate's first wedding dress in elementary school. Alli is currently getting her Master's in Public Health at the University of Michigan. She is seriously brilliant and UofM is beyond lucky to have her.
Dan Carty
Groomsman
Dan is Grant's friend from college, and is as reliable and dependable as a Chevy Silverado (Nathan Davison from Allen Chevrolet has deals if you are looking to buy). In all seriousness, he is a GREAT guy, an even better friend, and the best roommate. Dan is currently working on putting rocket boosters in rockets and will work alongside Grant in the first Mars colony.
Clara Farrehi
Bridesmaid
Clara is Kate's childhood best friend from Kindergarten (red table crew). Their friendship extended beyond the school year into summer swim team. Kate and Clara frequently begged their parents for sleep overs after swim meets. One of Kate's earliest tragedies was Clara moving away, but their friendship didn't end there. Clara gave Kate her first (and best) tour of Ann Arbor and whenever they are reunited it as if they spent no time apart. Clara is currently in med school at Sidney Kimmel Medical School. Kate frequently bothers her with questions about med school and Clara always gives great advice.
Patrick Reed
Groomsman
Patrick is Grant's friend from high school. He is an honest, hard-working man that anyone is lucky to have in their corner. He will be graduating from medical school in 2025 and will proceed to save lives. Go to Patrick with any medical issues, his number is 911 and he is an expert.
Taryn Hayes
Bridesmaid
Taryn is Kate's best friend from Grad school. Kate says she would not have survived the program without Taryn. Kate and Taryn had frequent vent sessions and library study dates where they would occasionally talk about things that went beyond the scope of lecture material. They are able to finish each other's sentences and are definitely friendship soulmates. Taryn is currently working on her application to medical school and spending her gap year in the beautiful Norfolk, Virginia.
Colin Devenish
Groomsman
Colin is another one of the originals from high school, despite the fact Grant stole a seat from him on the first day of high school. Colin is currently putting rocket boosters in cars. He is best known for his jokes and can cheer up Grant regardless of the situation. If you are in need of any jokes during the wedding, go to Colin. He has you covered, just ask Jacob.
