WEDDING PARTAAAY
Laney Overholt
Maid of Honor
From sophomores in high school, to Greece, to New York, to Bald Head Island (yep, that's a real place)- Laney's been through it all with Katelyn. If you don't want to come to the wedding for Kendal or Katelyn, you'll definitely want to come for her dance moves.
Kolton Rogers
Best Man
Kendal's twin (in case you couldn't tell) and good friend to both of Kendal and Katelyn. You may know him as the drummer at Gateway. Or as the guy with the camera. Or, maybe by his name!
Kelsie Rogers
Bridesmaid
Kelsie is Kendal's older sister and also went through the Leadership Development Program with Katelyn, which lead to a pretty great friendship (soon to be, sisters!). If you see her at the wedding, be careful! She's a self proclaimed drink spiller. But when she's not spilling drinks, she's writing amazing music:)
Kyler Schwarz
Groomsman
Katelyn's younger brother, Kyler is heading off to OU (Boomer Sooner, baby!) and doesn't know what he thinks about Kendal's enrollment at UT. But putting that aside, Kyler has agreed to be one of the Groomsmen, is excited for Kendal and Katelyn's future, and ladies, he's single!;)
Sulinda Mcmanus
Bridesmaid
Sulinda was on staff and in charge of Katelyn at a camp when Katelyn was younger, and, well, they did not like each other. To be fair, Katelyn was a brat (back then). Who would've guessed that years later they'd grow to be besties. From Waco to New York to late night Elizabeth St Cafe runs, they love to adventure and ride scooters around town! Sulinda also has some pretty great moves and will most likely be found on the dance floor all night.
Karson Schwarz
Groomsman
The tallest of the Schwarz siblings, Karson is a basketball pro and a man of few words. He loves video games, and is often referred to as the "gentle giant". And ladies, he is also single;)
Emily Wind
Bridesmaid
Emily and Katelyn met in Nicaragua, while living there for a summer. They got lost on the way to the beach and ended up becoming lifelong friends. They've written each other lots of love letters and bonded over their loves for Mother Teresa. Katelyn cannot wait to see Em again, and for all her friends and family to meet her soul sister! Who also happens to be the goat whisperer.
Enos Hershberger
Groomsman
Enos is a rock star (listen to his album, Mile Marker 295) and one of Kendal and Katelyn's best friends. He was the middle man for them during the early stages of their relationship, and one of the reasons they ended up together. He also makes some AMAZING apple cider and is possibly the nicest person on planet Earth.
Kamryn Monroe
Bridesmaid
Kamryn is an incredible artist, writer, and a beautiful soul (with some sass). Katelyn will probably never live down trying to beat her up with a pair of roller skates, but somehow their love and friendship has survived past that, haha. From sharing a room to late night watching scary Disney movies- Katelyn and Kendal are honored to have Kamryn (Kam Bam) as a part of this special day:-)
Michael Sherrell
Groomsman
One of Kendal's oldest friends (in length of friendship, not age of the friend), Michael is a lover of coffee, political science, and acting. From Royse City High School, to New York City, to St Croix, Michael and Kendal have done it all together- and now we are so excited to have him as a part of our big day!
Jocelyn Peirsol
Bridesmaid
Jocelyn loves animals more than anything in the world- so if you want to keep your pet, don't bring them to the wedding (or you may never see them again!). Jocelyn and Katelyn share so many good memories. Jocelyn helped fuel Katelyn's love for One Direction by buying tickets to their concert and a life size Harry Styles cardboard cutout, and also loved Katelyn even after she would "Dutch Oven" her at sleepovers. She's a great cousin and a great friend.
Garret Harder
Groomsman
Past roomies and current coworkers and friends- Garret is the go to guy for all of our tech questions and offers some great newly-wed advice. He is the happy father of two beautiful "Roomba children". He also has extensive knowledge on all things Doctor Who (if you don't know what that is, don't come to the wedding. Kidding! But go watch it now, you're missing out).
Madison Bailey
Bridesmaid
Maddie is about to embark on the World Race, and is basically Katelyn's little sister. She is such a light, and is about to go share that light with the world! She will be coming back one weekend out of her nine month mission trip to be in the wedding- and we are so honored! She is such a good time, will sing songs loudly with you in the car, is a great person to borrow clothes from, and also makes amazing playlists if ever you need one.
Ty Watson
Groomsman
Often referred to as "big pappa" and "red redness", Ty is, in Kendal's words, "a big ole' teddy bear". Some of his favorite past times include curling, hugging his male coworkers for extended periods of time (and sometimes tickles), and singing songs in his signature Chris Daughtry style voice. He is also a part of a beautiful family with his wife, Hailey, and daughter, Ellis.
Jilliyn Falkenberg
Bridesmaid
Jilly Billy is Katelyn's youngest bridesmaid and a real good time. She is funny, smart, sassy, and kind. She has a new hair color every time Katelyn has seen her- so who knows what it will be in the wedding (a fun surprise!). Can't wait to dance the night away with her!
Stephanie Rogers
Bridesmaid
Stephanie and Katelyn have spent many summer days together in Nicaragua, a place near and dear to both of their hearts. From rashes named Kevis, to tears on the beach, to holding hands running down a volcano, to tummy rubs, to singing the acapella version of "since you've been gone" in a cab- Steph holds a special place in Katelyn's heart and Katelyn and Kendal are so glad she's making the trip from ATL to ATX to be a part of this day.
