Michael & Kaitlin
Wedding Party
Taylor Moon
Maid of Honor
Taylor and I first met when they were five years old and now, 20+ years later, we have remained the best of friends and might I add...we are the true definition of opposites attract! Taylor has always been so organized, best dressed, detail orientated, and determined making her the perfect role as one of my maids of honor.
Ashley McCluskey
Maid of Honor
Ashley and I first met at Clarion University by being on the track and field team. I still remember thinking the "new girl" was different and 5 years later that "new girl" is one of my maids of honor! Ashley's care-free personality drug me out of my shell in college and I am so blessed to have her in my life!
Megan Calderwood
Bridesmaid
Megan and I have known each other the longest out of anyone in my bridal party. Even though our family tree has made us cousins, life has made us friends! When I think of Meg, I think of our countless hours at our Grammi's house on Wednesdays, long beach trips watching love stories in the back of the car, and of course, our list of future details we looked for in our future husbands. (Bummer Mike doesn't have an accent, can sing to me while riding a skateboard, and take me to Civil War sites).
Kelley Brest
Bridesmaid
Kelley is my amazing sister-in-law who married my brother in October of 2022! They set a standard of what love should look like as they are truly best friends. She is such a light in our family and never fails to leave us all belly laughing with her witty personality. She is an amazing sister, wife, and momma of my nephew, Cooper! (Cutest ring bearer EVER)
Allison Gibbens
Bridesmaid
Allison is not only my future sister-in-law but is also one of my best friends. We both initially bonded over both of them being speech therapists! Some of the few traits I love about Allison are her ability to listen, her infectious laugh, her love for animals, and her willingness to welcome me into the family.
Blake Goda
Bridesmaid
Blake and I met through work as we were both on the same therapy team! Blake is the best mom to her three kids and a great wife. She is someone who will always remind me to stand up for myself and not settle in life. I have no doubt that Blake will be the first one on the dance floor even though rhythm is not necessarily her strong suit!
Brianna Turner
Bridesmaid
Bre and I met through working together at the same company and we quickly went from treating together, to getting many dinners together leading them to our friendship now! The best quality Bre has in my eyes, is her loyalty. This woman will never not be 100% invested into a friendship and will always make sure you know you aren't alone in life!
Steven Gibbens
Best Man
Steven is Mike's brother and his best man. Some of Mike's favorite memories of him and Steve are hunting in Edinboro, snowboarding, and golfing!
Jim Henson
Groomsman
Jim and Mike became friends after high school through Noah and both bonded over their love for Beechwood. When Katie can't find Mike, he is almost always with Jim either golfing, or enjoying a Busch Latte.
Noah Runser
Groomsman
Noah and Mike first met working on a farm when they were young, which led to countless hunting and fishing trips leading them to their friendship today. Mike's favorite memory with Noah is when they went to Kinzua for a day ice fishing trip!
Nathan Brest
Groomsman
Nate is Katie's brother and a fellow groomsmen. When Mike first met Nate, he could tell he was going to be welcomed with open arms to the family. Nate and Mike bond over golfing and going to camp together!
Garrett Hamilton
Groomsman
Garrett and Mike were college roommates for three years. Education took a back seat to their shenanigans as they became well versed in gaming, mountain hiking, and just a smidge of bar crawling during their college years. Somehow they still managed to never miss an 8 AM class!
Dillon Gruver
Groomsman
Dillon and Mike met in forestry school and was known for keeping Mike and Garett in line. Dillon is Mike's go-to for adventuring. When Katie first met Dillon, him and Mike spent more time climbing trees than being on the ground!
Chris Neufer
Groomsman
Chris and Mike met in Forestry school and have remained close friends since graduating. One of Mike's favorite memories with Chris is during one snowstorm, Chris was adamant on taking a drive and needed Mike to come to his rescue!
