Katie & Ben
Wedding Party
Cassidy Nemec
Maid of Honor
Where to begin?! From first sitting next to you in Mrs. Willis’ ACC 2303 class freshman year, it was basically “best friendship at first sight.” You’ve laughed, grown, and adventured with me for the best two years of my life (and I wouldn’t have it any other way:). You’ll always be the Cece to my Jess, the macaroni to my cheese, and the part to my whole. I am a ‘doer of all the things,’ love macaroni & cheese, trivia, and football, and cannot wait to stand next to you on your very special day! P.S. I was there when y’all first held hands. ;)

Best Man
I met Ben at orientation before our first year at Baylor. As our freshman year began, we realized that we would be living on the same hall in the same dorm. That was the beginning of 4 years of friendship, many bad jokes, and a few pranks too. Throughout my time at Baylor Ben has been someone I can count on at anytime, and an incredibly loyal and encouraging friend.

I met Katie during our sophomore year of high school through a mutual friend. We have stuck together ever since - all the way up until college. From close friends to roommates, we have known each other for about 6 years. I am a business student and love Disney, country dancing, and traveling. One of my favorite memories with Katie was creating Pinterest boards for our dorm freshman year.
Trevor Butler
Groomsman
I'm Trevor, and I'm from San Diego, California. I've known Ben for a few years now. We met at Baylor when I started my freshman year (his junior year). He was my RA that year and became my roommate the following year. We became good friends during those two years through sweet tea, cookies, and politics. We have maintained our friendship since his graduation last May. I'm glad I can call him a friend, and I was honored when he asked me to be one of his groomsmen.

I met Katie through Instagram and we were both trying to find a roommate. It was freshman year and we quickly became not only roommates but best friends. From game nights to late night emotional talks, she had always been there and God blesses me with such a beautiful friend. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and the memories that will be made. Congratulations Katie and Ben!

Groomsman
I’m the younger brother of the bride and a student at Timber Creek High. I met Ben when my parents and I helped Katie move into her new apartment sophomore year of college, before the two of them were dating. Ben showed up mid-move and volunteered to help her unpack her things. I think Katie made a great choice in Ben and am excited for the two of them. Congratulations, Katie and Ben, and I look forward to being a part of your wedding!
Sanika Gotmare
Bridesmaid
Hi I’m Sanika! Im from California but I’m a Texas girl for now. Fun fact about me: I played the iceberg in Titanic for a school play in the 5th grade. Katie and I have been best friends since freshman year at Baylor when we met at our res hall. We’ve known each other for three years, but it feels like we’ve been friends forever. Katie is my home girl and we have so many memories together, everything from: blasting bad pop music from boy bands and jamming to it, road tripping to San Antonio for spring break, drinking way too much tea, dressing up for formals, helping each other parallel park, and there are so many more. I am most excited for all the new memories we are going to make on the big day in 2020, and I can’t wait to be by your side as a bridesmaid! Congrats Ben and Katie!

Groomsman
Hi, my name is Marcus. I am a senior (hopefully) at Baylor double majoring in Finance and Real Estate. I am a huge sports guy. I like to watch football and basketball as much as possible. I also like to travel to places I've never been before and experience new adventures. I know Ben because he was my CL my freshman year at Baylor and ended up becoming one of my roommates his senior year. I wish Ben and Katie nothing but the best moving forward and again congratulations to you both!
