Wedding Party

Meet our friends and family who we have chosen to stand by our sides on our special day!

Zach Gualdoni

Groom

The hottest man in the world... only makes sense that he is a welder! Zach loves big trucks, the gym, country cruising, food, and Katie. He denies his country accent like it ain't no thang. He is a gentle and kind leader who always points people to Christ. He's the best.

Katie McCleary

Bride

The most beautiful supermodel in the world! She has a heart of gold; always full of love and joy for others! She enjoys sunsets, Jeeping, anything creative, and the color yellow! She is also the best chef in the world, and no one can say otherwise.

Cole Simpson

Best Man

Cole and Zach have been best friends for many years. They grew together through their love of the gym, navigating physics class, and jumping Cole’s Jeep on backroads, as well as talking about the Lord. Through good times, and bad times Cole and Zach have always remained close.

Katelyn Kim

Maid of Honor

The first day of college at Liberty University, Katie prayed to God that He would send her a friend. The next day, she met Katelyn. She has been an answer to prayers in so many ways since then as her best friend!

Will Bookhout

Best Man

Will and Zach also became close friends through their times at weld school. One Atlanta welding trip, a treaty oak concert, and a fire work launcher later, a long standing friendship has emerged. Will is a ride or die friend.

Macie Clark

Maid of Honor

Macie is Katie's honorary sister. They have been best friends since 2nd grade (or earlier)! You will hear these two before you see them. They have been asked if they were drunk before because of how hard they laugh when together.

T.J. Johnson

Best Man

TJ and Zach became good friends through their time at work. They workout together, tell war stories of “Big Red” at work, and talk about anything and everything. These two are often found laughing hysterically at the lunch table.

Maddie Trumble

Maid of Honor

Maddie and Katie spent four months living together in Kenya during their college internship. They have too many crazy stories to tell in one sitting from their time there and after. They have been ride or die friends ever since!

Christian Schrader

Groomsman

Christian and Zach became good friends through their time at weld school together. Through many Taco Bell adventures during class, job changes, and Christian and his wife, Chelsea, moving to Alaska, the duo managed to stay close no matter what.

Alyssa Winters

Bridesmaid

Alyssa and Katie were RAs together in college & worked at the same Italian restaurant. Alyssa picked Katie as the most likely RA to help her hide a body on the second day they knew each other (enough said).

David Pierce

Groomsman

David and Zach first became good friends through their time on weekend nights. They would often spend hours wiping down parts at work while talking about good rock music, God, and the state of the world.

Ashley Crawford

Bridesmaid

Ashley and Katie have always loved animals and even started a horse club in grade school. They tried riding horses together in high school, and both got thrown off... Ashley stuck with it, Katie did not! Ashley always has an enthralling story to tell!

Curtis Milsap

Groomsman

Curtis and Zach also worked closely together on weekend nights, and practically became brothers. The duo would often spend days, even entire weekends quoting SpongeBob while losing their minds at work.

Andrea Torralva

Bridesmaid

Katie met Andrea through Rachel and Rys her first year at Liberty. By the second semester, she was Katie's friend and roommate!

Maverick Fisher

Groomsman

Maverick and Zach have been good friends since Zach went through Mavericks welding class. With Mavericks deep love for Red Dirt Country and Zach’s inability to walk the cup on TIG, the two became good friends over that year.

Olivia Bunting

Bridesmaid

Katie and Olivia bonded in high school over their love of writing and long Jeep rides! Olivia brings out Katie's creative side and wild side through their many excursions.

Noah Barger

Groomsman

Noah and Zach are first cousins. Through causing chaos at family events, cruising the backroads, slaying bass at the golf course lake, and many other adventures, they remained good friends.

Kodie Barnard

Bridesmaid

Kodie and Katie worked at DiMaggio's together for years and became great friends. They are known for having projector movie nights outside during summer, bike riding, and rolling down hills carefree.

Caleb Smothers

Groomsman

Caleb and Zach are also first cousins. They have had their fair share of embarrassing moments and stories told at family events, camping trips, and family vacations to experience.

Amarysza Fenbert

Bridesmaid

Amarysza (Rys) was Katie's RS at Liberty. Her mentorship and discipleship turned into a deep friendship that is cherished.

Jake Eckleberry

Groomsman

Zach and Jake have been good friends ever since the 3rd grade, and have been close ever since! They went to weld school together, conquered the back roads, and have been there for each other when it mattered most. Jake is a lifelong ride or die.
