Wedding Party
Stephanie Masters
Co-Maid of Honor
Stephanie is Kate's middle sister and her oldest friend — they were only born 18 months apart!
Amanda Masters
Co-Maid of Honor
Kate's youngest sister and Kojo's favorite auntie. The Masters girls wouldn't be complete without Amanda <3
Elle Hoffman
Bridesmaid
One of Kate's best college friends from all the way back in their KCOU days! Elle moved to NYC shortly after she graduated and Kate was so excited to be able to join her with Nathan.
Samantha Hogan
Bridesmaid
Kate met Samantha at the Frederick News-Post and they spent two years as roommates with their cats, Frank and Ida.
Caitlynn Peetz
Bridesmaid
Kate and Caitlynn became fast friends at the Bethesda Beat and still talk all the time. Caitlynn is also a dog mom to a super-cute pup named CC.
Travis Morgan
Best Man
Nathan's best friend from way back at Lutheran High School in Missouri! Sporting an eidetic memory, impeccable sartorial sense, and an encyclopedic knowledge of 80s music and culture, this wedding party is in good hands with Travis as best man.
Wolfgang Black
Groomsman
Wolfgang and Nathan met in Japanese class freshman year at Mizzou and have been "nakama" (sorry) ever since. Dr. Black lives in the San Francisco Bay area with his fiancée, Leana, and their dog, Charlie.
Shawn Maguire
Groomsman
Shawn is the glue that held Nathan's cohort together during grad school at UPenn. Dr. Maguire lives in New Jersey with his partner Sam and they do not have a dog (yet).
Chris Price
Groomsman
Chris and Nathan worked in the same research group at UPenn, and because that wasn't difficult enough, they also co-founded a startup company during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Price lives in Boston with his fiancée, Dr. Caitlin Azzo, and their dog, Sophie.
Harsh Jog
Groomsman
Harsh started his PhD one year after Nathan and was quickly recognized to be too cool for his own cohort, so was soon adopted by the cohort above. Harsh (Dr. Jog, depending on when you're reading this) lives in Philadelphia and does not yet have a dog.
