Wedding Party
Krissy Jacob
Matron of Honor
Katie and Krissy have been best friends for 18 years! After meeting in 7th grade science class, the rest became history. We conquered different friend groups throughout high school, and long distance through college. No matter what, we always made time for dinner dates with one another. Some of our favorite memories together include surfing the internet, hot tub and pool parties, Valley Rallies (going out to the bars), many game nights, and even traveling to Gatlinburg together. Krissy is the sister Katie never had!
Doug Mahnke
Best Man
Doug is Mitchell's cousin. From the beginning, they were built in best friends, and each other's brothers they never had. Doug has shown Mitch "the ropes" over the years including skate boarding in their younger years, and a better taste in music. Some of their favorite memories they share together include attending as many concerts as possible, completing the Winking Lizard Tour of Beers, Boyz Nights, trips to Gatlinburg, and game nights. Together you will always find these two giggling.
Anne Gorman
Bridesmaid
Katie and Annie met in college, an 11 year friendship. Shortly after establishing our friendship, we moved in with one another and shared many crazy nights together. Some of our favorite memories together include fraternity (taking the alligator together) and bar hopping, Annie drinking beer at senior wills, Mario Beerio Nights on the Switch, country concerts and Cleveland sporting events, many game nights, boating, and exploring new breweries and restaurants. After Annie met Mitch, she quickly became our favorite third wheel! If Mitch and Katie are going somewhere, Annie is probably too!
Brent Fickel
Groomsman
Brent is Mitchell's high school best friend, a 13 year bromance. Brent is known to many as just Fickel, and in some cases Mark Wahlberg. Over the years, Mitch and Fickel have enjoyed endless nights at Winking Lizard, sporting events and concerts. Some of their favorite memories include Red Roof Inn, hiking in Gatlinburg, exploring new breweries, and playing video games. Fickel is the quiet and reserved to Mitch's spunky personality.
Emily Mahnke
Bridesmaid
Emily has become a positive and influential friend to Katie over the last 5 years. Emily is the wife of Doug, Mitch's cousin. As quickly as the friend group formed, Katie and Emily's friendship formed faster. Together we just understand one another, and the crazy antics our men put us through. Some of favorite memories together include traveling to Nashville, wine drunk Emily, game nights, and brewery hopping. This is a friendship Katie is thankful to have formed later in life!
Vince Fornes
Groomsman
Vince is Mitchell's childhood best friend. A 23 year friendship beginning on the mean street of Tabor Avenue. Growing up, Mitch and Vince enjoyed skate boarding, playing baseball, and CYO sports. Some say they truly enjoyed walking to school, in the snow, up the hill, both ways. There's no denying these two getting in trouble together at a young age. And there's no chance of forgetting the time they tied Maddie to a chair. Some of their favorite memories together include getting Mikey Spiceys from Gabors, Vince's Bachelor party, sharing the love of hockey, and growing older together. Vince has always been one of Mitchell's best friends, no matter the distance.
Maddie Adams
Bridesmaid
Maddie is the little sister of Mitchell. Katie first met Maddie on a cousin trip out to Top Golf with dinner at the Winking Lizard. With Maddie's sassy attitude, she was surprised to meet someone for her brother who could dish it back out. Some of our favorite memories together include the Outlet's shopping, Maddie finding out why Katie doesn't go to Cedar Point often, crafting together, and family nights together. It is an exciting time to be adding another Sister-in- Law.
Mike Bellian
Groomsman
Mike is Katie's oldest brother. Mike knew of Mitch well before Mitch knew of Mike. Katie and Mike frequented dinner together once a week, where Mike was tired of hearing all about Mitch. It was after Mitch made things official, Mike realized he would have a fun future brother-in-law! Mike and Mitch work together at Davey Tree. They also share a love for video games, GFuel Energy drinks and sharing dumb jokes. These two together can be bad news!
Stephanie Bellian
Bridesmaid
Stephanie is Katie's sister-in - law, married to Joe Bellian. Together we have shared many memories over the years. Some of our favorite memories together include game nights, baseball games and concerts together, random shopping days, Stephanie's bachelorette party, boating, and family nights together. Stephanie has always been a strong positive influence on Katie.
Joe Bellian
Groomsman
Joe is Katie's older brother. Just 18 months apart in age, these two can get on each other's nerve easily. Although, Katie values Joe's opinion so Joe was the first family member to meet Mitch over a couple of beers and Winking Lizard for dinner. Joe has been supportive of Katie and Mitch's relationship from the start. Some favorite memories Mitch has with Joe is all the game nights, his rager of a diaper party, and enjoying the lake together.
