Wedding Party

Meet our friends who will be supporting us on our big day!

Ellen Masters

Maid of Honor

A friendship over a decade long that almost didn't happen... until the last day of lacrosse camp. It may sound typical and cheesy, but they have gone through EVERYTHING together. Katie appreciates Ellie's friendship, and knows she can always turn to Ellie for advice and help. Ellie is currently studying for a PhD in psychology . She will be making sure Katie keeps it together on the big day.


Kelly Johnson

Bridesmaid

Katie and Kelly became close friends during Junior year of college when they both interned at the Olympic Training Center. Over prep work they realized they both had a lot in common including their love of target, organizing, and baking. Kelly is a Registered Dietitian and enjoys working with the senior population. She loves her Shitzu Poodle dog Mable, and will be tearing up the dance floor at the wedding.

Julie Perkins

Bridesmaid

A true "Step Brothers" moment, they became best friends instantly while go-carting with mutual friends. These two can make a fun time out of any day, and they have MANY of times. Although they live far away, they always pick up laughing where they ended. Julie is studying Hospitality Management in her home state of Florida and is a sales associate at Ocean Prime. She enjoys being a plant mother to the jungle that has taken over her porch. Julie will be making sure everyone is having a blast at the party, especially the bride.


Mike Ciepiela

Best Man

Life long friends since the 2nd grade, they have just about done everything together. Mike introduced Joe to the gym, they've gone on many Cincinatti road trips, spent endless summers on the lake, and were even roommates along with their doggo friend Ronix. Mike has never backed down from a challenge and will now be tasked the duties of best man. One of these duties that will be easy to fulfill is challenging anyone to a dance off.

Steve Jagodzinski

Groomsman

Steve and Joe go all the way back to second grade and grew up right down the road from each other. They've spent countless hours thinking they were pro hockey players, professional skateboarders, and all around MacGyver's. Always willing to help, Steve will be there to make sure the show runs just as smooth as the scotch he'll be sipping.


Eric Marciniak

Groomsman

Eric is Joe's oldest friend.....going back to the days of diapers. This duo was unstoppable (yea that's right Mike) in floor hockey and could bus the whole Roycroft Inn on the busiest of nights in seconds. Everyone better keep an eye on this one because when Eric's around something special is always bound to happen.

Rylan

Ring Security

Joe’s nephew Rylan will be tasked with helping to watch over the wedding rings. Look out for this sharp shooter who can hit targets with his Nerf gun and has been no slouch in the gym with lifting weights.


Sienna

Flower Girl

Sienna is Joe's niece and will be prepping the walk way for the Bride. She will being going into high school the following school year and follows in Joe & Kate's foot steps by playing lacrosse. You'll find her undermining her brother at the reception to let her use the nerf gun.

For all the days along the way
