Katie & Zach
Wedding Party
Jasmyne Pierson
Maid of Honor
Jasmyne is Katie's big sister! She currently lives in California with her partner Dalton and the cutest baby ever, Harper. In April of 2024, Jasmyne surprised Katie for her engagement by hiding in a bush, popping out at just the right moment to bring Katie to tears. Katie has always looked up to her big sister and is very excited to celebrate this special day with Jasmyne as her maid of honor.
Luke Justice
Best Man
Luke is Zach's younger brother, and has been there for Zach through thick and thin- despite how much they get on each other's nerves. People say Zach and Luke almost look like twins, but Zach strongly disagrees. One time, Luke surprised Zach with a kitten as a Christmas gift which really would have been too much if Zach and Luke hadn't already talked about getting a cat.
Marley Duncan
Bridesmaid
Marley is one of Katie's best friends from college. She and Marley met in their sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, and also played on the Willamette Soccer team together! Marley and Katie may have also been known to steal an orange or a pint of ice cream from a party every once in a while, among other things...
Cameron Low
Groomsman
Cameron and Zach met in college along with Austin, Brent, Richard, and Sri. Cameron lives in Atlanta with his cat, Velocicoaster. He also practices Historical European Martial Arts, plays videos games, and DM's Dungeons & Dragons.
Samantha Chang
Bridesmaid
Samantha and Katie, along with Elizabeth, have been friends since kindergarten. They attended elementary, middle, and high school together. One time at a sleepover at Samantha's house when Katie was 5, she asked Samantha's parents if she could have a glass of wine with dinner, luckily, The Changs didn't kick Katie out and have welcomed her into their family as one of their own. Katie and Samantha also used to put on "shows" in the basement of Samantha's house when they got together for annual thanksgiving and crab nights.
Brent Limyansky
Groomsman
Brent is Zach's friend from College. Brent and Zach also used to be roommate's until Brent graduated and went to graduate school in California. He got his pHD in astrophysics, so has probably spent the most time with his head in the stars despite being Zach's most grounded friend. Brent also knows how to skydive and pick locks!
Elizabeth Stern
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth and Katie, along with Samantha, have been friends since kindergarten. Elizabeth and Katie were early birds and arrived at school for kindergarten at 7:45 am every morning. Elizabeth can be thanked for making Katie realize that she is a cat lady after meeting one of Elizabeth's many foster kitties. Katie and Elizabeth share a love of T-Swift and attended the Eras tour together in Atlanta in 2023.
Austin Bush
Groomsman
Austin and Zach have been friends since college. Austin is an incredible DM for Dungeons & Dragons and also a talented musician and composer! Of Zach's friends, Austin is the most likely to get rich inventing something really cool.
Sarah Dupuis
Bridesmaid
Katie first met Sarah thanks to Zach! Sarah and Katie quickly bonded over their time in the Peace Corps, Sarah served as a health volunteer in Cambodia. Katie and Sarah love to spend time playing board games at each others houses, hanging with their kitties, and of course watching Love is Blind.
Sri Sridhar
Groomsman
Sri and Zach have been friends since college. Zach officiated Sri and Sarah's wedding and hopes to one day baptize their children- though they don't know this yet. Sri laughs at Zach's worst jokes, and Zach is very appreciative of that.
Paula Hunt
Bridesmaid
Paula is another friend that Katie has Zach to thank for! Paula is a master of cosplay and has a killer Australian accent. Paula and Katie went to Costa Rica together in March of 2024 , and thank god for Paula as she was the only one who spoke Spanish!
Richard Stauffer
Groomsman
Richard and Zach met in college, and life has never been the same since. Richard and Zach have been in involved in a decade+ long campaign of Dungeons and Dragons. Richard is probably the funniest of Zach's friends, and also the best at solving puzzles. One time, Richard gave Zach a puzzle to ask him to be his groomsman, Zach opened it with a handsaw instead of solving it.
Waller Goble
Officiant
Some say that Waller is actually the one who should earn the credit of introducing Zach and Katie. He is Zach and Luke's "brother", and played an integral role in orchestrating Zach and Katie's engagement. We look forward to hearing what Waller has to say about Zach and Katie on the wedding day.
