Best Man
One of my oldest friends, he is like a brother to me. We met when I was eleven years old, and almost two decades later he still my best friend. Over the course of the years we have been through times where we didn't speak much. BC before cellphones. However, I always knew that if it came down to it he would be in my corner.
Maid of Honor
My one and only sissy! She has been there through every part of my life and I could never imagine not having her there on my big day. She makes every party extravagant and I can't wait to see what her party planning mind will do!
Groomsman
One of my best friends in high school. Ran track together all four years, and had a ton of great times. Motor Kombat parties in the basement were awesome. I love his family they are the greatest. High school was fun, and he is one of the main reasons why it was that way.
Bridesmaid
Merefuls is my friend that has turned into my sister; after many years of sleepovers & fun nights of testing mere's limits. She has been there to stay with me on nights I was lonely & on other days she tells me to put my big girl pants on. I am so excited to have her come on this adventure with me:)
Groomsman
A really good friend of mine from Bellarmine University, who is also from Michigan around where I am from. Tom reminded me of home a lot so it was easy to become friends. He is one of the few friends who weren't too deplorable to meet my family. He is a solid feature in many of the snippets of memories I have at K-New. Go Wings!
Bridesmaid
Rachel has been there since day one of high school. We shared a homeroom for four years and eventually realized we should become best friends. During our rowing years, Rachel actually stayed consistent on the team as I moved to the role of motivational support. With two drastically different personalities our friendship continues to grow.
Groomsman
Besides being an original member of the Usual Suspects, Allen has been my forever brother since grade school. Katie and Allen have been through every awkward stage of life together & still support one another through it all. We have been on many adventures together & we couldn't imagine our wedding without him.
Bridesmaid
This girl has been there through every *laughing till you pee* moment I had as a child. Aside from our blood ties our hearts grew connected as some point in our early lives. Shannon was always there to join in on my weird ideas or create music videos, THANK GOD social media was not a huge thing during our childhood. I can't wait for the memories this trip will bring us!
Bridesmaid
Down for every adventure, Tory ensured Katie's college years were filled with life. Torts, Rubes, and I ended up being one heck of a crew that I couldn't have imagined going through college without. I am so excited to have her along on this next adventure of life!
Groomsman
A1 since Day One. I was actually his mentor for Pioneer Scholars at Bellarmine University. I saw someone very much so like myself, and we instantly were friends. Even when he went to work at Ohio State, when we saw each other it was live. My guy is always down to turn up no matter where we are. If there is fun to be had, he is there. If you are trying to get blackout, give him a shout.
Bridesmaid
My main sidekick. Ruby has been through every crazy experience college sent my way. She was always by my side through some of the best moments and there during many of the worst. I can't wait to stand by her side on her big day and I couldn't imagine her not there for mine.
Bridesmaid
I could never forget how special Arolynn is to Deidric. I know she holds a special place in his heart and I am so excited to gain a new sister like her. I can't wait to continue the celebrations with Arolynn by my side:)
Groomsman
Our houses had the same floor plan, so even before his family basically adopted me I felt at home. Between being fed by his parents and hanging out at all hours, I was constantly there. The stupid dangerous stuff that went down are still cherished memories. It is amazing how often fire was involved
Groomsman
Lived with Ben for a while at Bellarmine University. Got a front row seat to the insanity that went down in the penthouse suite. Even after everyone else got kicked out of our suite we had a blast. Couldn't have asked for a more stand up roommate, and even better friend.
