Wedding Party
Rachel Inskeep
Maid of Honor
Katherine's younger, cooler sister.
Christina Simmons
Bridesperson
Christina, a fellow rock-climbing enthusiast whose favorite holds are jugs, and I met through Katherine and became quick friends. Though Christina now calls Portland home, the distance and differences in time zones haven’t put a damper on this rock-solid friendship.
Lauren Griffin
Bridesperson
Katherine's friend from undergrad and a founding member of our Jane Austen book club.
Sammy Hirshland
Bridesperson
Sammy, a fellow victim of philosophy, and I met in graduate school at Virginia Tech. We quickly bonded over our passion for philosophical debate and similar tastes in podcasts. Years later we’ve grown into our role as jaded academics and close friends. f = f ⟶ S ∈ f ⟶ ∃x (x = f ∧ x ∈ S)
Aislinn Betts
Bridesperson
Undergrad friend for life (Go Irish!) and fellow brain science lover.
Katie Abelt
Bridesperson
Katie and I have known each other for over a decade—which officially makes her the person at this wedding who’s known me the longest. She’s seen me through more highs and lows than a Kings Island roller coaster, and through it all we’ve managed to stay in touch even while living states apart.
Kristina Hollkamp
Bridesperson
Fellow Biochem major and friend from undergrad: we suffered together and now we're getting married three weeks apart!
Ellie Bartlett
Officiant
Ellie got Andrea into rock climbing, the thing that first drew Katherine to her! Over time we’ve become one climbing family. It only makes sense that Ellie is the officiant of our wedding day.
