Katie & Tyler
Wedding Party
Madison Smith
Maid of Honor
It was happenstance that Katie met Maddie at their brothers' hockey fundraiser over a decade ago! From that very first meeting they have been inseparable, and even with more than 1,000 miles between the two, Maddie continues to be such an important part of Katie's life. She is the calm and steady to Katie's wild side, and we cannot wait to have her stand with us on our big day!
Blake Wolfe
Best Man
Blake entered Tyler’s life when he was about 3 1/2yrs old. As brothers, they grew up competing in almost every way possible and pushed each other every step of the way. As they got older, their relationship changed from not only brothers, but best friends. After referring to Katie as his "sister" for many years before it was even official, it only makes sense to have Blake stand right next to us on our special day!
Morgan Copperstone
Matron of Honor
Morgan and Katie met in kindergarten and have been bestfriends since day one! From 7/11 slurpees, scary movies, and sleepovers after school, to wine, rom-coms, and adult sleepovers now, Morgan has been there through it all. She is the life of any party, and we can't wait for her to be a part of our day! (Also, Morgan is the mastermind behind most of the delicious desserts for the big day - please check out Morgan's Sweet Treats on all social media platforms!)
Brandon Rademacher
Groomsman
Tyler met Brandon almost a decade ago when his dad married Tyler's mom. Tyler knew immediately that Brandon and him would get along great when he gave a speech at their wedding that was his own version of the speech that Zach Galifianakis as Alan gave from the movie "The Hangover." Throughout the years, Tyler and Brandon have become more of brothers than stepbrothers, and we couldn't imagine our day without him.
Allison Malick
Bridesmaid
Katie met Allie in second grade at their after school program - she found Allie hiding behind a fridge, and the rest is history! Throughout the years, and even after going to different high schools and colleges they've remained inseparable. Allie is sure to make anyone she meets smile, and we couldn't imagine this day without her!
Ryan Hurley
Groomsman
Ryan and Tyler have been friends since high school and roomed together in college at Michigan State. He is one of Tyler’s oldest friends and will never say no to a good time! He can put a smile on anyone's face, and we can't wait for him to be part of our day!
Elise Pearl
Bridesmaid
Elise and Katie met in college - most of their early memories consists of nights they may or may not remember! Elise is the sweetest soul and a great listener. If you need a shoulder to laugh or cry on, she is always there! We are so excited for her to be a part of our day!
Erik Mitra
Groomsman
As Katie’s brother, Tyler and Erik have become close throughout the years. Whether Tyler was coming over on the weekend, or tagging along on family vacations, the two have bonded over many memories and are good friends on their own. Tyler is stoked to be getting another brother, and we couldn't imagine the day without E!
Kyla Laird
Bridesmaid
Katie met Kyla through Tyler's stepbrother Brandon about 8 years ago. Although she is practically family at this point, Kyla is also a great friend. Not only is she insanely talented with an eye for photography (check out Akachi Media on all social media platforms!), she has the best sense of humor and is always down for a good time. We can't wait for her to be with us for the big day!
Nick Spunar
Groomsman
Tyler met Nick through Maddie, Katie's childhood bestfriend. Over time the two became friends in their own right and the rest is history. Be it a day out on the lake or some cold margaritas, we know that Nick will help us celebrate accordingly for our special day!
Carly Bartes
Bridesmaid
Carly came into Katie's life after moving to Colorado - their common love of all things plants solidified their bond, and they've become soul sisters! Carly is kind, free-spirited and outgoing. She can make a friend in anyone, and we couldn't imagine our day without her!
Brad Popiel
Groomsman
Brad and Tyler met in high school and have been best buds ever since. Fun fact, Brad knew Katie before Tyler since they went to the same grade school. Over the years Brad has become one of our dearest friends, and we are excited to have him as part of our day!
