Katherine & Mark
Wedding Party
Meg Roberts Arsenovic
Matron of Honor
My amazing sister!!! Meg and I have shared a lot of things! A bedroom growing up, being on the same basketball and volleyball team, car rides to school (sorry for making you get up early to sit in the parking lot) the most imaginative babysitters, love for all things sparkling and bright, being dog parents, our love for Game of Thrones, the need to salty air and salt water and now being each others Maid/Matron of Honor. Who knew we would go from you threatening to spit on me from the top bunk to living in the same city and being able to share this amazing experience together. But truly she is one of my favorite humans. She is fiercely talented and extremely passionate about people and issues closest to her heart! Cant imagine getting married without her by my side.
Jackie Bonsper
Maid of Honor
Jackie and I met at High Point University where I was an RA and busted her and her roommate for a case of Busch Light in her dorm room.... We later became sorority sisters in Phi Mu and then twins (we shared the same big sister) Jackie has always been a bright light in my life! When I was seriously considering leaving my athletic training internship at Villanova University she reached out to me and gave me a quick geography lesson on how close Point Pleasant NJ (her hometown) is to Philly and the rest is history! Her capacity for love and friendship is something that is so beautiful and rare. Over the last 15 years of our friendship we have too many memories to name and I cant wait to see what comes next for us! Im so honored to have her as my maid of honor.
Laura Curzi
Bridesmaid
Laura and I met a few years ago through a mutual friend. She's a witty, sassy and confident lady and we quickly became fast friends. We've had so many adventures together. From living in Scott's Addition together, to moving to the Near West End, to planning weddings together and literally everything in between. Laura is such a special person to me, her enthusiasm is contagious, her friendship is fierce and so loving. My favorite part of our friendship is how it is unwavering. She has such a bright light and a truly awesome heart! I love that our Mark's are friends and that we get to live near each other and be apart of each others lives! I'm so honored to have her by my side on our special day!
Shane Wilhelm
Best Man
Shane and I met as Rats at the Virginia Military Institute in 1998. Maybe it was the fact that we both had a lot of similarities, or maybe because Shane was older and had the connections to get us alcohol in Barracks, but whatever the case may be, we've been friends for over twenty years now. Shane has been a confidant, both personally and professionally, and his wit and 'good 'ol boy' humor combined with mine, so now we have conversations without even speaking sometimes, kinda like in Ocean's Eleven with Rusty and Danny. I am proud to have Shane stand next to me on my and Katie's special day.
Stuart Swope
Groomsman
Stuart, aka 'Stuboo', my big little brother. There's a lot to say about a man who you would trust with everything you own and love, not to mention your life, and it is my privilege to say that about Stuart. He'll always be my little brother forever, although he got a lot taller than me years ago, but that's okay. We've grown up together, traveled together, went to some of the same schools, became Eagle Scouts together, and had a blast along the way. He's a crack shot, a witty prankster, and the best brother a guy could hope to have. It is a special privilege to have my Stuart stand with me and Katie on our special day.
Mark Prokopchak
Groomsman
Mark and I met through our ladies and I'll have to say, I was impressed with Mark's appreciation for good scotch, bourgeois style, and as a timepiece aficionado. So in other words, two guys named Mark with the same interests. Mark and I have become fast friends and with our ladies, we've enjoyed parties, wine tastings, hidden gem restaurants, river retreats, and we may have influenced each others' watch buys. Mark is both a trusted friend and guide and I am especially proud to have Mark stand with me as Katie and I share our most special day.
