Matron of Honor
Hello! I’m Shayna! I’ve had the joy of knowing Katie since elementary school, and over the years she has become one of my dearest and lifelong friends. We’ve shared countless memories together — especially out on the water, where we spent many summers skiing and laughing and crying together. Through those adventures, I had the pleasure of meeting Mitchell when he joined our water ski crew. Watching their relationship grow from friends to lovers has been such a privilege. I’m truly honored to celebrate this special day with them and cannot wait to see what the future holds.
Best Man
Hi everyone my name is Tyler Glende. I am Mitchell’s older brother. I reside in Chicago Illinois with my beautiful wife Briana and daughter Sage. Professionally I work for the Chicago Bears as the assistant director of equipment. It is an honor to be his best man. Growing up with a younger brother was the best, truly built in best friend for life. We never miss a beat nor is there ever a dull moment when we see each other. It makes me so happy to see him marrying his best friend, Katie. I feel like Katie has been apart of our family forever, the perfect person for my brother! Can’t wait to celebrate!
Bridesmaid
Hey everyone! Im Brittney, Mitchell’s sister. I’m so excited to be part of this special day and to stand by Katie’s side! She’s been such a perfect addition to our family — kind, fun, and always up for a good laugh (which fits right in with the Glende crew) Watching her and Mitchell together just makes sense, and I couldn’t be happier for them. I can’t wait to celebrate, dance, and probably shed a few happy tears for these two!

I’m a teacher, a mom and Mitchell and Katie’s favorite ;) I’m proud to say I’ve been around Mitchell since he was 14 years old.. that’s almost half his life!! From giving him rides home from school to Mitchell finding his perfect person, and now standing by Katie’s side as they become one is something special! It has been more than fun making memories with Katie by his side, our family can’t wait to make more! Let’s tie the knot & celebrate!!
Groomsman
I’m Brittney’s husband and Mitchell’s favorite brother-in-law—though to be fair, I might also be his only one. Mitchell and I have had a lot of good times over the years, so when he asked me to be a groomsman, I couldn’t say no. I’m here to celebrate, keep the groom in line, and make sure no one loses the rings (or the groom) before showtime.

Hey I’m Aby! I met Katie and Mitchell through a mutual friend — though “met” might be a generous word. The first time I showed up, I didn’t knock, I just walked straight into their house. Luckily, instead of calling the cops, she laughed — and that’s pretty much how our friendship started.

Hello everyone! My name is Emma Steil and I am one of Katie’s bridesmaids. I teach fourth grade in Dubuque, Iowa where I reside. Katie and I met in Mexico in January of 2022 (I bet no one can top that 😉). Katie and Pam were staying at the same resort as my mom and I. When I saw Katie at the swim up bar, I knew we would immediately be friends. I swam over, introduced myself, found out we live only 2 hours apart from eachother and the rest is history! Katie and I have maintained our friendship by visiting each other’s hometowns multiple times, taking day trips together and even going back to where we met in January of 2025! Mitchell truly brings out the best and goofiest side to Katie. I can’t wait to celebrate the love of Katie and Mitchell with you all!

I am currently a student at the University of Wisconsin La crosse studying exercise sport science. I plan to attend a physical therapy program in the upcoming year. My relationship with Katie is one that has been intertwined into every stage of my life. We’ve grown up side by side, sharing countless memories, milestones, and quiet moments that have shaped who we are. From the moment I met Mitchell, I saw someone who flawlessly complimented Katie’s wild personality. Where she was outgoing and energetic, he was calm and composed. It became clear to me early on that the two of them were perfect—her spark bringing out his warmth, and his steadiness grounding her light.

Hey everyone I’m Zach, one of Mitchell’s college roommates. I met Mitchell our first night at UW-Whitewater and we’ve been friends ever since. Back then we spent plenty of time bellied up at the Brass Rail, but these days you’re more likely to find us hitting the slopes snowboarding. I currently live in Milwaukee WI where I spend my summers on the golf course and my winters at the bowling alley.

Hi loves!! Kenna here :) Katie and I actually met way back when we were little on our waterski team together. Though, calling us “friends” back then might be a stretch (two shy girls who apparently needed twelve years to warm up). After bouncing around for school and work, I moved back home in 2023 and rejoined the team, and that’s when our friendship finally took off and I got a crash course in all things McCue. Getting to know Katie and Mitchell has been one of the best parts of moving home. Katie is fiercely loyal and loves with her whole heart. Mitchell is one of the most passionate people I know, and together, their loyalty and passion create a relationship full of love, connection, and, of course, a little healthy debate. I couldn’t be happier to stand by their sides and celebrate two of my favorite humans.

Hi, I’m Josh. Mitchell and I decided to be roommates our freshman year of college after barely getting to know each other through about 3 Facebook messages. Luckily, we actually liked each other and remained great friends throughout college and after. I currently live in Burlington, WI. I’m excited to meet everyone and to celebrate Katie and Mitchell!

Hi Everyone, my name is Nick Dries and I met both Katie and Mitchell skiing for the Rock Aqua Jays. Over the years we have shared a lot of fun times on the Rock River and winter ski trips to Aspen. I work for a Finnish mining company and get to travel the world doing something that’s way too boring to explain. So let me just congratulate Katie and Mitchell. I can’t wait to celebrate their day!
