Katie & Seth
Wedding Party
Sarah Snay
Maid of Honor
The one who makes me feel less weird when I speak in sing-song (even though her version is MUCH more in tune) and the one whose dance moves rival mine (meaning we are both awful). I've known her her whole life and I am so excited that she grew out of her hat phase and that she is willing to be my maid of honor. Some of my favorite memories together (since we've been adults at least) were made when I met Sarah in Peru after her study abroad trip in Argentina. We hiked Machu Picchu (including Montaña Machu Picchu - yikes!), slept with giant spiders in the Amazon, and discovered a love for pisco sours.
Stephanie Wong
Bridesmaid
We met in college and although I didn’t share Steph's love for Rick’s, we bonded over many other things. Steph is one of the most interesting and well-traveled people that I know. She’ll happily partake in a magic show, shooting targets at the range, and then teach you how to make the perfect cup of tea... all in one day.
Megan Anderson
Bridesmaid
We’ve been friends for too many years to count, but especially bonded over Harry Potter books and thought we were pretty cool being able to drive our younger siblings to the movie theater to enjoy the HP movies when they came out. Megan is a favorite travel companion because she believes in road snacks and the importance of avoiding a “hangry” situation.
Maggie Fink
Bridesmaid
It was not love at first sight for Maggie and I. My resting b*tch face prevented her from seeking me out in a women’s study class after our mutual friend, Laura, tried to get us to be friends. Thankfully, we got over ourselves and began a weekly routine of watching Grey’s Anatomy while chowing down on a giant Original Cottage Inn salad and loaf of bread. I owe my racing fascination to Maggie, as she ran my first half marathon with me in Montreal (and helped translate all of the French so that we were able to make it to the start line).
Jocelyn Mottes
Bridesmaid
You’ve never met a more loyal or devoted friend than Joce. Just watch out if you get on her bad side. I think we first bonded in middle school over an obsession with Gavin Rossdale of Bush. She’s always up for a game of cards (except for Phase 10) and has gone to more concerts with me than I can count. Some of my favorite memories happened with Joce in high school between our competing jobs at Best Buy and Media Play and our marching band clarinet performances.
Laura George
Bridesmaid
Laura and I have known each other since fifth grade. I was a bit of a bully and she was the new girl. It wasn’t a great start. Thankfully, Laura gave me a second chance and we bonded over the bumps in our noses and being exceptionally clever and witty. I also owe Laura because she introduced me to Steph and Maggie when I transferred to U of M junior year.
Trevor Dominique
Best Man
We met rather early in life, and while we have had our differences, he has always been there for me. Don't tell him, but I even looked up to him for a while. Then I got taller.
Megan Dominique
Groomswoman
I met Megan shortly after Trevor. She has always been there for me as well - mostly to tell mom or Trevor what I was doing wrong. Once I moved away, we really became close! <3
Ryan Gipperich
Groomsman
Ryan has been beating me to my birthday my whole life (he's three weeks older). Now that neither of us want to age, I am the one winning! Take that, Brother!
Lucas Place
Groomsman
What to say about this guy??? Through thick and thin I have always been able to get a beer with this guy. Now that he owns a bar, you would think they should be free. ;)
Troy Skampo
Groomsman
When he moved to Morenci in 6th grade, I finally found someone who rebelled against authority as much as I did. Now he's old and doesn't have the energy, but we still get along.
Stella Mottes
Flower Girl
I don't play favorites, but Stella is a girl after my own heart. She loves all things girly and will happily borrow my jewelry or get her nails painted with me while also thoroughly enjoying kicking my butt on the trampoline and hiking miles to see a waterfall without complaint. She loved "Steth" upon their first meeting and I can't wait to see the dance moves she comes up with for her walk down the aisle.
Case Simpkins
Ring Bearer
Holy spitfire! Don't tell my sister, but I firmly believe he was made to give her a dose of her own medicine. :) Really though, he has a heart of gold and I am proud to call him my nephew!
Lauryn Dominique
Usher
She will show you to your seat and critique your life decisions at the same time! The brain on this one makes me think she will be my boss some day. Watch out folks! :)
Lindsey Gipperich
Usher
12 going on 34. Lindsey is the sweetest kid you will ever meet. She’ll show you the latest dance craze and tell you about the best Snapchat filter.
Andrea Bell
Officiant
Calling Andrea a "co-worker" would be an understatement -- she is a true friend to both Seth and me. She has known us both since the very beginning of our relationship. She is kind, genuine, and hilarious! We are so excited that she agreed to officiate our wedding!
