Wedding Party
Charlotte Newman
Maid of Honor
Best friend and basically sister of the bride since childhood and long time partner in crime. From the countless days of obsessing over the Jonas Brothers and One Direction to the many Disney and ski trips to trying to figure out how to "adult", these two have been through it all. The bride would truly be "up a bridge without a stick" without her.
Jack Marshall
Best Man
Brother and best friend of the groom since day 1. From their early days in youth sailing to traveling around Africa together, these two are always down for a good adventure. Jack is famous for being in one place one day and picking up and moving to a new country the next with limited notice and no clear plan. Ask him about the latest podcast he's listened to and his experimenting with cooking Indian food.
Gina Roesch
Bridesmaid
Friends with the bride since birth and forever karaoke partner from the many High School Musical and Camp Rock sing-alongs. She is quite possibly the sweetest person you'll ever meet, but she and her twin sister Abby have all of the embarrassing stories of the bride from all of the family get togethers and ski vacations.
Henry Marshall
Best Man
Brother and best friend of the groom since day 1. Whether sailing with each other growing up or duking it out in pickup sports, these two never step down from a competition. They literally gave Kate a heart attack when they called her saying they were in the emergency room after mountain biking, but, alas, they live to tell tale. Ask him about his new consulting job and why the Caribbean is the best place on earth.
Abby Roesch
Bridesmaid
Friends with the bride since birth and forever the bride's roller coaster buddy. Her and her twin sister Gina are responsible for Kate's love of roller coasters mainly because they forced her (mainly Abby) to ride them with them at King's Island against her will until she liked them. She also has lots of embarrassing stories about the bride.
Thomas Clavelli
Groomsman
College friend of the groom since their first class at Stanford. Thomas lived with William for several years and was one of the few people who could consistently beat him at ping pong.
Sami Koire
Bridesmaid
Bestie of the bride since college and forever activity/going out buddy. Kate and Sami met in MS&E 111 office hours and the rest is history. From the many Alpha Phi events to the countless hours of studying to barn dancing for our senior project to bachelor nights and friend trips, it is always an adventure. She also works on super cool stuff for Apple!
Jiya Janowitz
Groomsman
College friend of the groom since freshman year. From all the hangout times to Fornite tournaments, you can always count on Jiya to bring energy and humor to any situation. Arkansas born and bred, he by far has the best hair of the group. Ask Jiya about anything to do with space and about the time he got chased by a pack of Newfoundland puppies
Tess Branstetter
Bridesmaid
High school friend of the bride and long time partner in crime. They met in Mrs. Reiboldt's English class in 9th grade and the rest is history. From the many "eventful" nights to where they both said "this is how we die" multiple times to their famous road trip to see Imagine Dragons, they certainly have given each other lots of great stories to tell. Also, she's the best advice giver and cook/baker!
Ben Croy
Bridesman
High school friend of the bride and longtime partner in crime. Typically, the "initiator" of all the Ben, Kate, Suma, and Tess shenanigans. It typically begins with Ben or a subset of the group showing up to each other houses and saying "get in the car, we're going somewhere" and we just see where the night takes us. He's always down for an adventure and has a really cool dog named Satcha.
Suma Ancha
Bridesmaid
Highschool/childhood friend of the bride and skilled sunflower cupcake maker. Luckily, she forgave Kate for accidentally giving her a non-working bike the first time she went over to her house and ended up crashing at the end of the coulda sac or we wouldn't be here today. She's always there to listen and talk some sense into the bride when she needs it, and is typically the one to bail Kate, Tess, and Ben out of trouble.
Matt Salmon
Bridesman
Brother of the bride, but honestly more like twin. There was a week where Kate could open up Matt's phone using Face ID. Forever bonded by their joint love for Disney, Spongebob, and their miniature dachshund Dobby, there is never a moment lacking jokes or banter. While he's a great baseball player and golfer, his biggest accomplishment to date is beating William in the 40 yard dash.
Sydney Rieckhoff
Bridesmaid
Bestie of the bride from college and fellow avid dog-lover and goat-finantic. From the number of Alpha Phi events to the Nashville and Chicago trips, there has never been a dull moment. Syd is also a famous "popcorneur" and runs her own popcorn company #AlmostFamousPopcorn, which is the most delicious thing you'll ever taste!
Augie Fabela
Scripture Reader
College friend of the bride and groom who is known for his prime acting and presentation skills. From performing live Spanish music videos to giving impromptu presentations of German poems, we knew he was the right guy for the job. Prepare for the best reenactment of scripture you've seen yet! Also, ask him how fast he's seen Kate finish a burger.
Kaitlyn Albertoli
Bridesmaid
Day 1 of the bride in college in Alpha Phi and always the life of the of the party. She can out dance anyone and has a deep love for rotisserie chicken. From our Alpha Phi events to our friend trips to our sporadic camping trips, every time is always a blast. Also, she's a super cool Boss Lady who is the CEO of her utility company Buzz.
Danny Drummond
Musician
Cousin of the bride, and if you're wondering if any musical talent exists within the Salmon family, it does, but it just went to Danny and all of the bride's other cousins and skipped the bride's family altogether. Danny will be playing the piano for the music before and after the ceremony.
Rachel Drummond
Musician
Danny's beautiful wife and bonus cousin of bride. She too is very musically talented and will be playing the violin before and after the wedding.
Dobby
Best Dog
He loved her first. The bride's best fury friend. His favorite activity is sharing peanut butter sandwiches with Kate and snuggling with anyone who will have him, especially if cozy blankets are involved. He'll be looking for the best lap to sit at the wedding and whoever will feed him the most snacks! #It'sNotAPartyUntilTheWeinerComesOut
Ricky Bobby
Best Dog
Only the best race car driver that ever lived. Ricky Bobby is second to no one with his agility and super fast speed #IfYouAin'tFirstYou'reLast. His favorite memory is when he got to travel with William from Rhode Island to stay with William and Kate in Houston, but William and him got stuck in DC and got to have a sleepover together at airport hotel. Like William, he also loves to dance, so be sure to catch him on the dance floor!
