Wedding Party
Bridgette Berry
Maid of Honor
Sister to the bride, Bridgette has been following Katie around since she was BORN. Katie is beyond happy that she has a little sister with excellent fashion taste so that she can steal all of her clothes. Bridgette is Katie's #1 cheerleader, as is Katie for Bridgette (even if they could barely get along when they were little). Fun fact: Katie once convinced Bridgette that Land Sharks were a real animal that Bridgette had to be concerned about.
John Kyle
Best Man
John is Michael's best friend. They met in college in the theatre department, and then worked on the grounds crew together through summers. You can often find the duo sitting on the porch, smoking pipes and having conversations about life, love, and Star Wars. Fun Fact: John and his wife Annie are largely responsible for this wedding, as they are the duo that pushed Michael into asking Katie out!
Cece Richardson
Bridesmaid
It was truly an act of God that Cece transferred to Benedictine College her sophomore year, otherwise Katie and Michael never would have met her! Not to mention she was instrumental in securing a second date for the couple. Its pretty amazing how one person stopping by to return some nail polish would be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Matthew Hart
Groomsman
College friend of the happy couple, and current roommate of the groom! Matt is known for his ability to make all of his friends laugh- no matter the day they've had. He is also infamous for his never wavering commitment to the Broncos (no matter how bad they are).
Annie Kyle
Bridesmaid
Very much the Big Sister the groom never had, Annie encouraged and pushed Michael towards going on a first date with Katie. As for Annie and Katie, you can frequently find them in tears, in prayer, or in deep conversation about Vampire Diaries. Truly a Lucy and Ethel duo, its only right to have Annie at the couples side on their big day.
Peter Volmert
Groomsman
Peter and Fitz met at Benedictine college in the Theatre Department (are you noticing a trend dear reader?). The two were roommates both during and after college! Peter shares Fitz's love of Irish music, and being able to walk with a longer stride than Katie. He is single, and he is a phenomenal dancer.
Emily Lickenbrock
Bridesmaid
Katie and Michael met Emily in college! Little did they know it, but Katie and Emily had actually lived in the same town all their lives- only to meet in Atchison. And Katie is so overjoyed that they did. Em has a beautiful singing voice and is an animal on the dance floor!
Matthew Fitzsimmons
Groomsman
The second-oldest of the Fitzsimmons brothers. Much like the rest of the Fitzsimmons clan, he has an appreciation for the finer things in life; such as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. He has excellent taste in whiskey, and can make a very solid Hot Toddy.
Audrey Hartweck
Bridesmaid
Audrey and Katie were college roommates all the way from Freshmen to Junior year! In fact, Audrey was Katie's first friend on the Benedictine campus. You can most frequently find them at a Mexican restaurant, catching up for about 4-6 hours.
John Fitzsimmons
Groomsman
Fitzsimmons brother #3, John is studying marketing at Benedictine College! He has the mind of a well-educated man, and the soul of a hobbit. At this particular wedding, you'll most likely see him on the dance floor teaching people how to swing dance! If seen on the Benedictine Campus, please return to O'Malleys Irish Pub where he belongs.
Caroline Christie
Bridesmaid
Caroline and Katie lived together their junior year. They of course met at Benedictine College in the theatre department, but were not initially friends. In fact, the two didn't quite like each other at first! But the Lord has a way of making things work, and the two quickly became the closest of friends! Now, they can make each other cry with laughter. Many days were spent in college marathoning criminal minds, or staying up till one in the morning drinking stale coffee.
Andrew Fitzsimmons
Groomsman
Like the other Fitzsimmons brother, Andrew is an old soul. An OLD, old soul. Michael and Andrew share a love of Lord of the Rings, Legos, and playing a lot of Battlefield One. Although Andrew has surpassed Michael in playing the trumpet, he has not quite surpassed him in height.
Erin Berry
Flower Woman & Honorary Bridesmaid
Erin is Bridgette's twin and therefore Katie's other little sister. Erin is beyond excited to be the flower woman & honorary bridesmaid for this wedding. Erin and Katie enjoy spending time together taking long walks at the park, or looking at different animals at the zoo. Erin especially likes asking Katie to draw her favorite cartoon character; Abu.
Tyler Wheeler
Official Attendant to Ms. Erin Berry
Yet another future brother-in-law. Tyler is Bridgette's fiancé, and has basically been a part of the Berry family for the past 5 or so years. When Bridgette and Katie get together and begin talking at one million miles an hour, Michael and Tyler can find solace in one another. They're both happy to know that they have a buddy at future family events.
