Wedding Party
Stephen Tessier
Officiant
Stephen is one of Katarina's closest friends. They met around 2013 at a mutual friend's bonfire. The friendship they share has deep roots that have grown throughout the years. It's the type of friendship where it does not matter how much time has passed since their last conversation or hangout. They can pick up where they left off and be 100% their authentic selves. To Stephen: Thank you so much for being an integral part of our wedding. Your friendship, advice, and the laughs and tears we have shared mean so much to me. You are one of the most selfless people I have ever met. I cannot wait to celebrate this big day alongside you. Love you. -Kat
Emily Edgar
Maid of Honor
Emily and Katarina met in the classrooms of Athena Middleschool where they shared science class together. They would often get in trouble for distracting eachother while in class, but that did not stop them from becoming close friends. From the group hangouts to the school dances and now adulthood. This friendship is like the stars, you may not always be able to see them but you know they are there for you. Emily, Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into the days leading up to the wedding. You are like a ray of sunshine with your sunny disposition and positive energy. I value our friendship more than you know. We were lucky to have met at a young age and be able to watch each other grow up into beautiful, young women. It means so much to me everytime you make the effort to hang out whenever you or I are in town. Love you. Kat
