Katherine & Chase
Wedding Party
Barb Ford
Maid of Honor
Barb is Katie's aunt and best friend. Her and Katie have been partners in crime since they were little kids exploring and causing mischief. They've had their ups and downs and periods where they didn't speak to one another, but in the end they'll always be best friends for life.
Tony Ratajczak
Groomsman
Tony and Chase have been best friends ever since they met. They share a strong love of guns, among many other things, and even are getting wed into the same family! Soon, Tony will be Chase's uncle!
Alisha Underhill
Bridesmaid
Katie's younger sister may be hard to get a hold of sometimes, but when she comes around she gives 110%. She is the best listener and will offer a valuable perspective if you ask for it. She is a hard worker, a great mother, and gives the best hugs, too!
Joe Cherewan
Groomsman
Chase's best friend of 13+ years. He has a big heart and loves helping people. He has literally dropped everything on the drop of a dime in the middle of the night to help Chase and Katie when a critical situation arose.
Leah Wipf
Bridesmaid
Katie's best friend of 20+ years. Katie met Leah in grade school and grew to love her and her family. The Wipf family was Katie's "second family" as she was growing up and will always hold a special place in her heart. Leah and Katie share a special interest in their educations and worked hard to both become registered nurses.
Mike Trombley
Groomsman
Mike is more than one of Chase's work friends. He is a hard working, funny, heartfelt individual. Mike and Chase may butt heads at work sometimes, but they get along great outside of work. Mike helped Katie plan Chase's surprise 30th birthday party, and he also started a fundraiser for Chase when he got into his accident and was out of work for 3 months.
Tanya Thoreen
Bridesmaid
Tanya is another one of Katie and Chase's neighbors who became a surprise friend in their lives. Tanya and Glen live just a few houses down the block. Tanya is a very sweet, heartfelt person and has a fun sense of humor. She is always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need, and absolutely loves children. I think she's getting impatient to have grandchildren of her own!
Mason Kangas
Jr Groomsman
Katie's very special nephew. This young man has been through some very difficult times, yet still has a great personality and a smile on his face. He was the ring bearer at Shelly and Mitch's wedding.
Ava Underhill
Flower Girl
Alisha's daughter and Katie's only niece. She got so nervous being the flower girl at Shelly and Mitch's wedding she vomited in the middle of the ceremony! Hopefully, she got the first time jitters out of the way so she doesn't get sick this time around!
Shelly Playle
Mother of the Bride
Katie's mom is a hard working woman with a heart the size of Texas. She has been Katie's main inspiration to work hard, study hard, and do good things in life. She taught Katie to act like a lady and always be truthful. She also passed on her love of animals and good looks too!
Dale Underhill
Father of the Bride
Dale may technically not be Katie's father, but to Katie he is the best dad in the world! He was there for her pretty much her whole life and helped make her the woman she has become today. He taught her to stand up straight, hold her head high, work hard, and to be loyal. He passed on a love of the outdoors in a variety of ways including camping, boating, and fishing.
Vicki Johnson
Mother of the Groom
Vicki holds a special place in Chase's heart and Chase would do anything for her. Her and Chase might be short in statue but they are big on personality! Vicki runs an in home daycare and loves her 2 dogs, Daisy and Duke.
Jim Salverda
Father of the Groom
Jim and Chase haven't always seen eye to eye, but he's been there for Chase when Chase needed him and vice versa. Jim's favorite holiday is Christmas and he enjoys the special moments of family time.
Glen Thoreen
Officiant
Glen is another one of our awesome neighbors. I'd call him a social butterfly. When he heard that we were getting married he was persistent that he was going to be the one to marry us. We are very lucky to have him as a neighbor and a friend.
