Cristina & Kory
Wedding Party
Cassie Catania-Hsu
Matron of Honor
Cassie is my best friend and my oldest sister! She’s always pointing me in the right direction and constantly pushing me to be the best version of myself. She’s been there for me throughout life - all the highs and lows. I wouldn’t be who I am without her and I’m so happy to have her by my side on this special day. Best mama to my niece & nephew!
Kevin Kirk
Best Man
Kevin is my oldest brother and the one that likes to push the limits! When we were kids, he was the one that tested our parents' patience the most. Because of Kevin, I always knew what I could and couldn't get away with. His passion for the outdoors has had such a tremendous impact on me and something that always bonds us together when I go back home. I'm grateful for everything he's taught me and looking forward to having him support me on this big day.
Vanessa Catania
Bridesmaid
Vanessa is my youngest sister and in addition to being everyone’s favorite Catania, she’s also my best friend! She’s thoughtful, intelligent, yet goofy and humble. She has a special way about her that makes everyone believe they can do anything and is always supporting me in every way. She brings out the best in everyone!
Kyle Kirk
Best Man
Kyle is the brother that will call you anytime he has a moment to chat. Middle of the day on Wednesday, Kyle will call. If I don't answer, he will be facetiming Cristina usually within minutes. He has always been the type of person that is always interested in what we are doing every day. He cares more about other people than he probably does himself. He shows a level of interest unlike anyone else, that is why he is one of my best men.
Samantha Henning
Maid of Honor
Sam, the most adventurous and fearless friend of mine! We've traveled the world and through life together. We were friends in middle school, then reconnected in college and I'm so glad we did! She's always making sure everyone is laughing & having fun, but more importantly, she offers the best tough love when needed! Couldn't go through life without her.
Josh Tranel
Groomsman
Josh is that brother from another mother people always make the joke about. We were inseparable as kids when it came to house chores, sports, building tree forts (or really just tree steps), or getting cool earrings together. All of the dumb ideas we had as kids, we did them together. There is no other friendship like the one I have with Josh, and I couldn't do this day without him.
Shelby Vasquez
Bridesmaid
Shelby is one of my favorites to laugh with until we cry! She’s funny, genuine and always brings good energy when she’s around. She cares so much for the people around her, offers the best advice and helps me make decisions when my indecisiveness kicks in. So lucky to call her my friend!
Kyle Timmerman
Groomsman
Kyle became that friend that I never knew I needed. We went to different schools as kids and until high school, we barely knew each other. While I was playing sports, he was machining tools and driving pulling trucks. I believe we became close because of the way we both treated people. He has the utmost respect for everyone that he meets and I have learned a lot from him. He's one hell of a guy!
Kara Stewart
Bridesmaid
Kara is one of my longest friends and she's someone special! We've been friends since elementary school (there may even be a photo out there of us during a sleepover in 3rd grade!) and I know we will be friends for a lifetime. She's caring and compassionate and the kind of person you can call whenever and will always make you feel better.
Russ Droessler
Groomsman
Russ has been my longest standing friend and boy, the stories we could share. Most of which involve some questionable decision making but they were always fun. We were the guys that could be friends with everyone and I think that is what kept us so close. Making jokes with each other or talking personal issues, Russ is the guy that is always up for a conversation or a night out. He is the type of guy that wants to help and see success in all facets of his friends life. There is truly no one like him. I am lucky to call him a close friend.
Marina Toller
Bridesmaid
Marina is probably the closest I’ll ever get to being friends with a celebrity. She’s got the best taste in everything, and she keeps me trendy. BUT the even better part is that she’s down to earth and an incredible friend. Even though she recently left me for Texas, our lengthy phone calls about life decisions make up the distance.
James Toller
Groomsman
James is probably the most enthusiastic guy I know. I thought I was a die hard Packer fan, and have now realized I am not on the same level as James. He is the awesome friend that will order a shot for you before you have even said hello to everyone. We send messages back and forth daily about football, golf and the head scratching things the ladies in our life present us with. You have to love the guy's energy and good heart. He keeps me young as some would say. Looking forward to having him by my side.
Amanda Pease
Bridesmaid
Amanda, my Brazilian, Scorpio soul sister! I always make the joke that she's the Meredith to my Cristina because I knew we'd be lifelong friends after I met her when we both worked at ARIA. Amanda is the kind of person that feels like no time has passed even if days go by in between our chats. We always have the most fun when we're together and I'm so grateful our paths crossed.
Giovanni Catania
Groomsman
Gio is the quiet one of the bunch. But his private demeanor comes with having four of what some people would say as vivacious sisters. He speaks wisely and thoroughly and that is what is so great about him. There is no fluff, what he says is what he thinks and feels. You will always get the honesty out of him and I admire that. He is one of the smartest guys I know and I am so happy to have him there next to Cristina and I on our wedding day.
Ashleigh Sprague
Bridesmaid
Ashleigh is one of the most fun & go with the flow friends you could ask for! We love doing our favorite things together - which involves dancing, concerts, & Fiesta Fridays. She also teaches me all about skincare so she can keep us young! She's a great listener and even better friend.
Scott Gibbons
Groomsman
Scott was the enemy that turned into a great friend. We played sports against each other in high school and then just so happened to play on the same team in college. We lived together for two years and built a great friendship. Scott is the guy that pushed me to be a better person, not only life but also in relationships with people in my life. I have always appreciated his friendship and its great to have him by my side.
Brooklyn Hsu
Flower Girl
Brooklyn is the center of attention and there’s no wonder why. This beautiful, smart niece of mine is always making us laugh with her goofy personality that only so few of us get to see.
Andy Bomberger
Officiant
Andy is one of Cristina’s closest friends and probably one of the most hilarious people you’ll ever meet. We’ve chosen Andy to be the officiant for our wedding as he’s the perfect balance of humor, loyalty, and authenticity.
