Robert & Whitney
Wedding Party
Hillary Knapp
Matron of Honor
Hillary is Whitney's older sister. Whitney has always looked up to Hillary's accomplishments, so it was very special when Hillary was able to hood Whitney at her Doctor of Physical Therapy graduation ceremony, and when Whitney was given the honor to stand by Hillary's side at her wedding. Hillary made Whitney and Auntie with her son Keaton (in photo) and soon to be baby Knapp. The two love spending time outdoors together hiking, camping, and beaching.
Christian Bonser
Best Man
Christian is Robert's younger brother, so Rob has known Chris is whole life. Rob is excited for Christian to return the favor of best man duties at his wedding. The two have always been close as they've played on the same hockey team in high school and were members of the same fraternity at Florida State University.
Ali Leonard
Maid of Honor
Ali is Whitney's younger sister. Whitney has always admired Ali's fun-loving, free-spirited personality. These two have shared many laughs over the years, including many pranks that are fun until they go just a little too far. They've also created a bit called "Frank & June." If you know, you know. Whitney is so excited for Ali to be standing with her at her wedding day.
Kyle Massie
Groomsman
Rob and Kyle have been friends since middle school. Kyle joined Rob at FSU, where he was his "little" in the fraternity. They were roommates for 2 years in the fraternity house and hosted many events, Valhalla and tail gates being the favorite. They both love attending hockey games (Go Bolts!) and drinking craft beers.
Abby Albers
Bridesmaid
Abby and Whitney have always just seemed to know each other, but officially became close friends in high school. These two were roommates for 6 consecutive years through undergrad and grad school. This lead to a scary level of closeness that included unintentionally dressing alike, being undefeated in many games of catch phrase, and loving the same tv shows. If they happen to be in Spearfish at the same time, find them at Common Grounds drinking an Irish cream latte!!
Adam Anderson
Groomsman
Adam and Rob met when Adam became a "dental wife" at Midwestern University. Though they don't live in the same city anymore, Adam and Rob enjoy visits as often as possible to Possum Kingdom and St. Pete. They spend time riding and occasionally crashing their one wheels. Whatever you do, don't let him have the microphone.
Karleen Cooper
Bridesmaid
Karleen and Whitney grew up 30 minutes from one another, but didn't meet until their dorm rooms were across the hall freshman year. These two laugh until they cry... whether it's a not-so-graceful moment involving heels and icy sidewalks, intramural sports mishaps, or silly Halloween costumes in DeadWeird. Whitney is so thankful for Karleen's friendship over the last 9 years and many moves.
Jefferson Orr
Officiant/Groomsman
Jeff was one of Rob's first friends in Arizona. When Rob found out Jeff attended Auburn, he made sure to tell him that his FSU Seminoles beat the Tigers in the college football national championship... back when both schools had football teams. Whitney and Rob really respect Jeff and his wife, Caroline's faith. Jeff was always the go-to person to lead prayers at Easter dinners. They couldn't think of a better person to be their officiant.
Audrey Altoonian
Bridesmaid
Whitney and Audrey met orientation week of physical therapy school and became close many months later. These two developed a routine together that included studying at the pool, jogs up Thunderbird Mountain, and "family dinner" complete with vino. Whitney got the opportunity to play tourist with Aud in the black hills, and vice versa on their trip to Dallas. Audrey is a strong-willed Texas girl with the biggest heart and best dance moves.
Michael Santasiere
Groomsman
Mike and Rob met orientation week of dental school when they were randomly put the same beer olympics team. They both love playing golf as well as spectating at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. They've had many good times at the 16th hole. Other adventures include Mexican cruises, San Diego and a trip where Mike followed Rob into the jungle.
Jessie Bonser
Bridesmaid
Jessie is the youngest of the Bonser siblings. She and Whitney met when Rob brought Whitney home for the first time after 1 year of dating. They make sure to spend time together when Jessie comes home from Nursing school at FAU. They love hopping on the boat with the dogs; even during an unexpected rainstorm, celebrating their July birthdays, and game nights at the Bonser's over holidays. Jessie is very caring and thoughtful person. Whitney is excited to be gaining another sister!
Seth Smith
Groomsman
Rob and Seth were in the same dental suite with conjoining operatories. They practiced injections on one another in "stab lab," followed with a BBQ hosted by the faculty. There was a lot of drool and bitten tongues. They've had many fun trips including ski trips to Flagstaff and LA for Seth's wedding where Rob was happy to be his groomsman.
Abbie Orloski
Bridesmaid
Whitney and Abbie met through a "blind friend date" as they were both new to the St. Petersburg area. Since they are both physical therapists they had plenty to discuss over Sangrias at Bella Brava. When both ladies turned 26, they joked about running a marathon... 26.2 miles. Whitney got a text from Abbie saying she had registered them for the race and there was no backing out. The two trained for months, running without headphones and chatting through many miles and sore legs.
Mark Orloski
Groomsman
Through their significant others, Rob and Mark were introduced. Over drinks at 3 Daughter's Brewery, this group of 4 quickly became great friends. The two still laugh about a particularly entertaining Uber ride with Mr. Wong at Disney World. Even though Mark is an Eagles fan, they still love spending Sunday watching football at the bird's nest.
Ashely Arnold
Bridal Attendant
Ashley and Whitney met at a pool party shortly after her move to Florida. One of their favorite activities is cruising in the boat to the Weedon Island Sand Bar, hanging at The Galley where Ashley most likely has control over the juke box, and brunching in DTSP. As it sounds, this is a very Florida friendship. Whitney is so excited to have Ash-Fizz there to help celebrate the big day. (Jordan + Ashley's son, Woods, pictured too!)
Jordan Arnold
Groomsman
Rob and Jordan's friendship began with a cold call followed by a lunch meeting, which lead to an invite to play on the city league softball team Bad News Beers. Jordan introduced Rob to his local hangout, The Galley, where you may find them with their Yeti Cups watching sports. (Woods made the website x2)
