Wedding Party
Sophie Hrinowich
Maid of Honor
From rival colleges, Kendall Elementary in Marion, Indiana brought me my best friend! Me and Sophie both started our first year teaching in 2018. Through all the laughs and tears Kendall brought us, at least it brought me friends for a lifetime! Sophie has been there for it all, from charcuterie boards and Bachelor Nights, to crying over all the losers before Will.
Christian Cromer
Best Man
I've always known since the 5th grade that the day I get married Cromer would be my best man. We met through AAU basketball, back when we both had a full head of hair, and have been best friends ever since. Mom and dad call him their "other son" because the two of us were inseparable growing up. Even though we live 15 hours away nowadays, I know I can always call Cromer if need be and he'll be there no matter what.
Neal Stepp
Bridesman
Like a brother from another mother Neal and I met in college! After getting assigned to do a Sam's Club run for the admissions office together we decided to grab dinner after. He "forgot" his wallet and the rest is history. I've been putting up with him ever since! Neal is the reason I moved to Texas which led me to meeting Will so thanks IWU admissions and Neal!
Jacob Gladden
Groomsman
From rivals in high school to best friends in college. I met Jacob at Guilford my freshman year and we bonded over our love of basketball. We roomed together for six years and battled some tough times together during covid in Indiana. I may not have saw it through if I didn't have Jacob with me. Roll Quakes!
Casie Billmire
Bridesmaid
I moved to Texas looking for a new adventure knowing only Neal. I found a school I loved and it also brought me Casie. Casie taught with me at Burton Hill Elementary and our mutual love of country music and concerts is where it all began.
Mitch Cook
Groomsman
The best brother a guy could ever ask for! Lord knows we didn't always get along growing up but we're always there for each other now. If it wasn't for Mitch, this wedding might not have happened. After asking if I should "go out with this chick" his response was "yeah she's cute man, go for it!" Then he let me borrow his car for the first date, thanks brother!
Emily Otterman
Bridesmaid
Emily!!! I met Emily through Neal, and we hit it off right away; we shared a mutual bond of calling Neal out. Emily is the best friend a girl could ask for. She has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met and is always there to cheer you on or be a shoulder to cry on.
Rollin Lester
Groomsman
Wait, who invited this guy? All jokes aside, Rollin is one of the most genuine guys you'll ever meet. We met slinging kayaks and driving the boat trailer at On the Water. Some of the best memories of my life were on that river with Rollin.
Lauren Leutz
Bridesmaid
I met Lauren through a local bible study group I joined when I first moved to Texas. Lauren brings so much joy and enthusiasm to every situation she is in. She is an amazing friend that I know I can always turn to no matter what. She as beautiful on the inside as the outside and I can't wait to have her by my side on my special day!
Cole Harris
Groomsman
From 3rd grade AAU basketball to present day, Cole has been one of my best friends. We share a love for the outdoors and a passion for golf...even though he never lets me win. Thanks for always being the positive role model in my life and showing me what it looks like to marry your best friend.
Tom Schroyer
Officiant
The BEST papa a girl can ask for! Tom is Kati's grandpa and she couldn't think of anyone better than one of her favorite people and role models of what it means to be a great husband, father, and grandfather to announce their marriage.
