Maid of Honor
Not only Katie's sister, but her Irish twin and partner in crime since day one. She may be the smallest person in the room, but don't let her size fool you, she's an absolute force of nature. They grew up spending countless hours on soccer fields, from tiny cleats as kids to high school games, creating memories (and probably a few sibling arguments) that Katie will cherish forever. If you've ever met Hannah, you know she's the life of the party. She has a way of making every room brighter, every gathering louder and every memory more fun. But beyond that, she loves fiercely and would do anything to protect the people she cares about. Once you're in her circle, you've got a defender for life. And if there's one opinion that really mattered, it was hers. So when Hannah gave Austin her official stamp of approval as a future brother-in-law, you knew he was truly family.
Bridesmaid
What started as a coworker at Physical Therapy Central quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. Lauren unknowingly paved the way for Katie by heading off to physical therapy school first and when it was Katie's turn, she was there every step of the way. Lauren offered encouragement, answered questions, and reminded Katie she could do it. Lauren is the definition of loyal and caring. She's the kind of friend that checks in just because she's thinking about you, celebrates your wins, and is always there when you need her most. On top of that, she is an incredible physical therapist with a heart for helping others. Katie is so grateful their paths crossed, and even more grateful she's standing by her side on her special day.
Bridesmaid
Brittany and Katie became friends through PT school. Brittany has such an outgoing personality that made becoming friends with her very easy. They quickly became close as they trauma bonded over the many hours of studying for exams, stressing about practicals, and getting through lab immersion. Brittany is the biggest reason that Katie made it through PT school. From orientation to graduation and all the memories in between, Brittany has been such a joyful and dependable friend to have by Katie's side. And somehow, even all the way from Chicago (cue Britt's accent) she made it to the wedding because of course Brittany would show up and make the trip look easy. She has always been someone you can count on, and Katie is so incredibly thankful for her friendship.
Bridesmaid
Happi was another coworker turned friend from PTC. Happi and Katie became so close that they even ended up as roommates and, of course, adopted a dog together along the way. Happi truly lives up to her name, bringing infectious joy and warmth to everyone around her. She has such a bright spirit, and being around her always makes life feel a little lighter and lot more fun. Now a new wife and mom, Happi continues to shine in every season of life. Some friendships are built through life's biggest milestones, and theirs was built through all of them. The highs, the lows, and everything in between. They've celebrated the best days, leaned on each other through the hardest ones, and together have grown into the people they are today. Having her stand beside Katie on one of the most important days of her life is something she will always treasure.
Bridesmaid
Turns out Katie's family tree had a surprise branch all the way in England! She only found out they were cousins a few years ago, but you'd never know it now. Chloe is hilarious, always up for a laugh and a good time. She has fully embraced her role as long- lost cousin. Katie is beyond excited Chloe is crossing an ocean to celebrate with them and it wouldn't be the same without her!
Bridesmaid
Again another England cousin! Amy is the younger sister of Chloe and the ying to her yang. Amy has that quietly brilliant, artsy, razor-witted energy that makes her so special. She's a little more serious, deeply thoughtful and loves her family with her whole heart. Having her here will make the day even more meaningful!
Best Man
A man of few words... until he isn't. Defending fantasy football Last Place Finisher. Complains about his knees but can still probably squat your car. A master of talking smack. Mediocre at best when it comes to backing it back. In all seriousness, he has been there through it all. As loyal as they come, Burke is the guy you want in your corner through good times and bad. He's got an infectious laugh, and if you have a problem with him, the real problem is probably you.
Groomsman
Austin and Garrett have been playing sports together for the better part of 20 years. From basketball on the blacktop of Prairie Vale Elementary to men’s league basketball teams. When the train that is Garrett barrels down the court, my advice is to get off the tracks. Whether it be a poker night at home or hitting the town, Garrett is always down for a good time.
Groomsman
The authority on all things paint. From a part-time job in high school, Joe has ascended through the ranks of Sherwin Williams over the years. Another lifelong friend and part of the Prairie Vale blacktop crew. Joe has always been an avid Pokes fan, much to the chagrin of his Sooner-Born parents.
Groomsman
This guy knows ball. Mark is always down to catch a game or chat about sports. (He may only make it to halftime though). Probably the biggest thunder fan you’ll ever meet. Yet another member of the Prairie Vale blacktop crew, and lifelong friend. Paid his dues and also worked at Paycom for years with Austin. Dog dad to a couple of crazy labs.
Groomsman
Austin’s friend from OSU that you just might recognize if Channel 4 is your choice for local news. When he’s not reporting on Thunder games, Tanner enjoys being almost as good as Austin at cornhole and other various games. This delusion can be traced to his roots as a Dallas Cowboys fan.
Groomsman
Austin’s brother and built in friend for life. Sam enjoyed beating up on Austin and his friends in video games as they grew up – likely in retribution for the punishment absorbed during pool basketball games. May have missed his calling as a lawyer, as he loves to play devil’s advocate against you all night long.
