Katelyn & Robert
Wedding Party
Kaitlyn Warders
Matron of Honor
Best Friend of the Bride. Kate and Kaitlyn met through their sophomore years at Penn State. They both stayed in State College for many, many years after graduation, and together built the best of friendships. Kate is still waiting for Kaitlyn to join her in D.C.
Andy Taggart
Best Man
Father of the Groom. Andy was Rob's Daddy from day one (literally). He became his best friend very shortly after.
Elizabeth Johnson
Matron of Honor
Sister of the Bride. Liz is Kate's oldest sister, and she was the first to know about Rob and Kate's relationship. She's been a constant support throughout the process and didn't scoff at planning a taco-themed bridal shower.
Thomas Webb
Groomsman
Friend of the Groom. Thomas and Rob were college roommates. Thomas first introduced Rob to the West Wing, and it was primarily Rob's love of the West Wing that led him to D.C. Therefore, Thomas > West Wing > D.C. > Kate. Thanks Thomas!
Nicole Barrett
Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride. Kate and Nicole met during their student government tenure at Penn State. Now, both DC residents, Nicole and Kate go adventuring together. Both are generally game for any outdoor activity or boardwalk ride.
Drew Taggart
Groomsman
Brother of the Groom. Drew's skills in debating taught Rob an early life lesson; some fights aren't worth winning. It is because of this lesson that Kate and Rob's relationship is so strong. Rob is always willing to say "you're right". Kate greatly appreciates Drew.
Becca Bess
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Bride. Becca captured the photo that first captured Rob's eyes on a dating profile. "You look like a model" he still says. Some might say Becca made this whole thing happen.
Andrew Holmes
Groomsman
Brother of the Bride. Andrew has been excited about the wedding since he first met Rob. He has always loved being an usher at church, but he was willing to take on a new role and stand with Rob.
Abigail Holmes
Bridesmaid
Sister of the Bride. Abby has always known Kate, but she got to know Rob well when the three amigos spent a week in Iceland together. She's excited to no longer be a trip chaperone.
Craig Johnson
Officiant
Brother-in-Law of the Bride. Craig has been there for Kate and Rob for the entire journey (minus the snafu when he outed their relationship to Kate's parents a bit earlier than planned).
Caleb Johnson
Junior Groomsman
Nephew of the Bride. Caleb and Rob are great buddies. Caleb also thinks Rob is great at basketball. Their only conflict is supporting conflicting baseball teams. Go N-A-T-S!
Kelsey Johnson
Junior Bridesmaid
Niece of the Bride. Kelsey (Bear) is Kate's original niece. She is also contributing the music for the ceremony.
Alex Dulin
Reception MC
Friend of the Bride. This is Alex's professional work head shot. It so accurately reflects her unending positive energy. Be excited!
Holly Roberts
Reception MC
Friend of the Bride. Holly and Kate met when they first moved to DC. In addition to being friends, they were also roommates and coworkers. Holly also choreographed the first dance!
Josiah Johnson
Ring Bearer
Nephew of the Bride. We hope to see Josiah flying down the aisle in his new wheels! Josiah is pictured here with his #1 Dad.
Hannah Rose Taggart
Flower Girl
Niece of the Groom. Hannah Rose is Rob's first niece. She stole his heart with her sweetness! She is featured here with her best friend and escort.
Lillie Johnson
Flower Girl
Niece of the Bride. Lillie is full of life. She's stolen all of our hearts, and she's sure to steal the wedding ceremony show.
Layla Bess
Flower Girl
Niece of the Bride. Layla brings the party anywhere she goes. She also loves dogs, much to Mia's delight.
Mikayla Johnson
Flower Girl

Flower Girl
Niece of the Bride. Skylar and Rob first bonded as birthday twins.
