Katrina & Bryan
Wedding Party
Katie Peck
Maid of Honor
Katrina’s first roommate in Baltimore. Home chef extraordinaire and modern day Martha Stewart, minus the criminal record. Acerbically witty. The most thoughtful and creative person. Has resurrected enough of Katrina’s plants to start a nursery. Saving the planet one Stasher bag at a time.
Phil Wasicek
Best Man
Bryan’s co-resident from University of Maryland. Poorly kept secret is that he gives the world’s best hugs. Knows more about ramen noodle injury than anyone. Amazing husband, father, human. Future plastic surgeon. Unknowingly helped facilitate Bryan and Katrina’s first experience keeping a living being alive.
Angela Benson
Bridesmaid
Katrina’s cousin and professional planner of all things. She maintains a successful full time job, is a mom to two amazing kids and keeps the cleanest house in the state of Georgia, maybe in the country. Currently planning dinner meals and vacations for 2045.
John McGowan
Groomsman and Koumbaro
The man, the myth, the legend - Katrina’s younger brother, adventure partner in crime, world traveler, and modern day renaissance man. We’re not saying he’s a superhero, but you never see him and Clark Kent in the same place at the same time. Most importantly, he’s the Katrina Whisperer.
Lauren Benson
Flower Girl
Katrina’s cousin. From swim team to the piano to the golf course…you name it, Lauren does it all effortlessly with style and grace, just like her mom.
Connor Benson
Ring Bearer
Katrina's cousin (are you sensing a theme yet?) and forever workout partner. The most enthusiastic and energetic kid you’ll ever meet. Aspiring to be number one in all things related to triathlons, golfing, swimming, running, jet skiing, water skiing, and any other endeavor he decides to tackle.
Norah Buckingham
Presenter of the Stefana
Bryan’s daughter. Nickname Doodles. Part of the towhead wedding trifecta. Will stop anything she is doing to pet a dog. Pending copyright on the phrase “I don’t know”. Unfortunately, she has Bryan’s looks AND sense of humor.
Brett Harris
Usher
Katrina’s cousin (yes another one, this time from the Greek side). Meat apologist. Wordle partner. Washington Capitals #1 fan. Tanktops and Air Jordans are an all-occasion outfit.
Kyle McGowan
Usher/Wedding Security
Yet another of Katrina’s cousins. The unofficial Mayor of Baltimore. Former B league beach volleyball teammate of Bryan and Katrina. Only person physically capable of beating Katrina in loudness.
John "Sparky" McGowan
Usher/Wedding Security
Another cousin. Co-Ironman. Loves a routine–don’t ask him to break it. Coffee in bed aficionado. Former B league beach volleyball teammate of Bryan and Katrina. If you’re looking for him he’s probably on the golf course.
David McGowan
Usher/Wedding Security
Cousin. Again. Real-life Goose. There’s nothing this guy does casually….or poorly. Ultra distance events, naval air navigation, yard work, officiating weddings….Work hard, play harder is the name of the game.
