Wedding Party
Luke Roberts
Man of Honor
Katie's younger brother. We have a super close relationship and Katie thinks of herself as THE best big sister. She always likes to remind him that he wouldn't have passed English in college without her writing all of his papers. She can't wait to have him stand with her on the big day.
Andrea Arnett
Matron of Honor
Katie's longest friend and more like a sister. We first met in 7th grade on Katie's first day of school in North Carolina. We were inseparable growing up and even went to college together and joined the same sorority. We might live hundreds of miles apart now, but our friendship is one where we can both be our most authentic selves.
Madeline Todd
Bridesmaid
Katie and Maddy met in college and were in the same sorority. When Maddy moved to Charlotte, we were pretty inseparable and we spent a good portion of our 20's, running around Charlotte and discovering ourselves. We call each other "couch friends" because we can just sit together on a couch all day and have the best time.
Shelby Manning
Bridesmaid
Shelby and Katie met at work years ago and they quickly became close friends. Katie even made sure that Shelby followed her to their current jobs. We both share a passion for vacuum cleaners and dogs. She's the ultimate emotional support co-worker and best friend. Katie's day wouldn't be complete without their daily chats in her office, where we pretend we're working.
Jimmy Jancsura
Best Man
Rob's older brother and BEST man. Jim and I grew up together and share a lot of the same lifestyle interests surrounding sport and fitness (though Jim is much smaller in total muscle mass ;). Jim and I are in constant contact whether that be through text or Snapchat (current snap streak is near 500 straight days) and am ecstatic he'll be standing next to me on our big day.
Austin Beggin
Groomsman
Rob met Beggin while looking for a spot to sit in their Communications 101 course freshman year at Ohio State. Beggin's friendly attitude and witty persona drove them to join the same fraternity and live together as roommates throughout junior and senior years of college. Though Beggin lives back in Ohio and Rob in Charlotte, we speak weekly surrounding life and Ohio State football.
David Purcel
Groomsman
Rob and Dave are lifelong childhood friends. David grew up ~3 blocks from Rob's home in Amherst, Ohio in a development called the Orchard. We grew up playing backyard baseball, football & basketball together as youngins. Going into high school, our experiences in childhood built a strong chemistry as each of us were starting cornerbacks & outfielders for our high school teams.
Ken Carlson
Groomsman
Rob met Ken in 2019 after he graduated from Oregon and moved to Charlotte. They built a strong friendship through work and playing sports together like softball, basketball & flag football. We ended up becoming roommates during COVID and had ample time to build a like brotherly bond. That on top of the fact the Bucks took down his Ducks for a National Title in '15 seemed to really help our friendship bloom.
Yeti & Nike
Best Dogs
Of course the husky duo will be making an appearance down the aisle. We couldn't imagine starting our family together without them!
