Wedding Party
Katie Nelson
Bride
Center of Attention
Colin Dodd
Groom
Also invited.
David Satre
Officiant
Colin's best and tallest friend. Met in 2012 living on the same dorm floor at UND. If David is on time to the wedding, that is thanks Colin's (and his wife's too I guess) many hours of work on David.
Susanne Bushman
Maid of Honor
Katie's best friend! These two met through mutual friends in the summer of 2016 and have been close ever since. They lived together for five years, including the Covid quarantine, which really is a testament to their ability to put up with each other's shit. She is also the Fairy Godmother who brought the wonderful kitty Whitty into Katie and Colin’s lives!
Amber Kleiner
Bridesmaid
The bride's sister! Amber has seen Katie through some of her best days and some of her worst. She's contractually obligated to get KWD (Katie's Wedding Drunk) as it is her turn to be the family embarrassment for once.
Andrea Rouchka-Nelson
Bridesmaid
Katie's sister-in-law! Katie's cousin Jon once said - in a room also containing Katie's brother Craig, Andrea's husband - "you two were meant for each other." He was talking about Katie and Andrea.
Nolan Dodd
Co-Best Man
Colin's younger bro. Met when Colin was 2. I reserve the right to hold my opinion of him as private until I hear his wedding toast.
Glenn Dodd
Co-Best Man
Colin's older bro. He likes airplanes...like a lot. If you catch yourself having to talk with him, just bring up airplanes.
Craig Nelson
Groomsman
Craig 🍕 Nelson (IYKYK). Katie's brother (she wasn't asked on the matter). Craig has been a supportive force in a lot of Katie's life, letting her mooch off his kindness, spare bedrooms, and streaming accounts. He's my Brub.
