Wedding Party
Taylor Cappetta
Maid of Honor
For some of you that may not know, Taylor is Katlyn's big sister. I've always looked up to Taylor my whole life. I always wanted to be just like her growing up. She was always teaching me new things in life. She was always the outgoing, funny, smart, artistic one of the family and I always thought she was the coolest person ever (I still believe that even though I don't admit it). I couldn't be more blessed to have a sister like her. God truly knew I needed a sister like you in my life. Taylor has made such a huge impact in my life and I don't know what I would do without her. I was truly blessed with the best big sister you could ever have.
Brian Kane
Best Man
Ever since the day Brian was born we have been inseparable. We became so close throughout high school that our friend groups were forced to join together. That is something we both take pride in. A few of the reasons that I love Brian are his passion, his determination to be good at everything he does, and his unwavering love for his big brother (me). He has had my back so many times. Even in moments where I didn't deserve it. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't talk to Brian on the phone at least three times. I am beyond excited to have my brother stand beside me on the best day of my life.
Alex Kane
Matron of Honor
Alex is Johnny's sister-in-law. I've gotten the honor of having Alex in my life and I have gained a new best friend and sister all in one. Alex is always there for you no matter what and I love that most about her. Any time I need advise on anything I always know I can go to her. If you ever need help planning anything this woman is there to help. She is a kindhearted person who I look up to a lot. She has made such a huge impact in my life and I don't know what I would do without my new bonus sister.
Teage Kolar
Groomsman
Teage and I have been friends since we were young. We have a very special friendship. Him and I tell each other everything and he is always there with a listening ear. We understand each other on a deeper level than most. He is one of those friends that will throw punches for you and also get down on his knees and pray with you.
Marissa Genevro
Bridesmaid
Marissa is Katlyn's first cousin. Marissa is a type of person that will keep you up till 2 in the morning just chatting with you about life and those are some of the best memories I have with her. We have always been roommates when they come into town to visit and those have always been the best times with her. Marissa is always down for an adventure or a good time. She is the life of the party and will always make sure that you are having a good time. My favorite thing about Marissa is how caring and supportive she is.
Chandler Davis
Groomsman
Chan the man holds a very special place in my heart. He grew up in Brian's group of friends and in high school became one of my best friends as well. I chose Chan to stand by me on my big day because he has become a brother. He is someone that I have so much in common with that it's hard to explain to people. He is somebody I can count on with my life and will always have my back.
Maura Genevro
Bridesmaid
Maura is Katlyn's first cousin. Maura has always been the funny, outgoing cousin. She is always ready to have a good time. She will always be the life of the party. The thing I love most about Maura is how bubbly she is. A whole room could be quiet and right when Maura walks into a room she is cheering everyone up and is making sure everyone is having a good time. I love how fun and outgoing she is. I've always looked up to her and how awesome and fun her personality is.
Ian Yount
Groomsman
Ian and I have been best friends since we were in high school. We spent so many times riding around in trucks and looking for deer or turkeys to hunt. We have been on so many hunting trips together and I look forward to many more. I chose Ian to be in my wedding because he has always had my back and he has always been there for me anytime I need him. From the hills of Holiday Valley to the mountains of Colorado.
Danessa Allison
Bridesmaid
Danessa is Katlyn's first cousin. Ness has always been a little sister to me. Even though she is younger than me I always looked up to her and always wanted to be just like her. She is always there for you no matter what. She always gives the best advise or if you just need someone to talk to she is always there for you. We spent a lot of time together growing up and I will always cherish those memories. Hope we always scream words to songs that aren't the right words.
Kaleb Bright
Groomsman
Kaleb and I have been friends since the 9th grade. We were inseparable during high school and college. During those years Kaleb and I spent countless hours in a pickup truck riding down dirt roads jamming out to country music. I chose Kaleb to be by my side on my big day because he has always been somebody that I can trust and somebody I can confide in. He has been a friend that no matter the distance nothing will ever change. He has been a brother from another mother.
Alecia Varischetti-Esposito
Bridesmaid
Alecia is Katlyn's first cousin. Alecia has always been another big sister to me growing up. Some of my favorite memories with Alecia are the ones where she would teach us dance routines in her basement. She has always been there for me and has always stood up for me. She has always made me feel so special. Alecia would always be the person I would run to for advice growing up. I always thought Alecia was so cool growing up and I still feel that way.
Tommy Hartzfeld
Groomsman
I met Tommy through my brother Brian. We have been friends since we were young kids in middle school. Tommy has always been such a light in my life. Even on the darkest days Tommy knows how to put a smile on your face. He is always the life of the party and you never know what to expect. He has had my back too many times to count. He is someone I know would be there for me no matter what. I chose Tommy to stand by my side because he is a little brother to me and an absolute best friend.
Darian Allison
Bridesmaid
Darian is Katlyn's first cousin. One fun fact about Darian and I is that we are only 13 days apart and we absolutely loved that (still do). We have always been close since birth. We would hangout every single day since we were babies and those are some of my favorite times with her. She has always been another sister in my life. One thing me and Darian share is being the clumsy ones of the family. We have so many goofy memories together and I wouldn't change that for the world.
Colton Sharp
Groomsman
Colton and I became friends in high school. He is always down to have a good time and has always been there for me. Some of my favorite moments with Colton are singing country music at the top of our lungs around a campfire. I chose Colton to stand by me on my big day because he is a brother. He has the biggest heart and I can't wait to see him cry when I get married.
Angelina Boleen
Bridesmaid
Ange and I have known each other since we were very little. We use to go to the same babysitter, we defiantly had so much fun together there. One of my favorite memories is when we use to hold onto the lawnmower and get pulled around the yard. Ange will always be the friend I will go to for advise on anything. Ange has been there for me in times when I needed a friend the most and I am so very grateful for that and her. She's always up for a good adventure and I love that most about her.
Clay Jewell
Groomsman
Clay and I have the longest friendship aside from my brother. Clay and I met when we were 4 or 5 years old. We have been friends ever since. Clay and I have been there for each other through the best and worst of times. We understand each other on a different level than most. I chose Clay to stand by my side because I couldn't get married without him.
Erin Hultman
Bridesmaid
Erin has been my childhood friend since pre-school. Some of my favorite memories with her are when we use to drive around town jamming to music for hours. Erin has always been a special person in my life. I have always cherished our friendship and have been so grateful to have her in my life. No matter what happens in life or how busy we get sometimes we always pick up where we left off and she will always be a phone call away.
Garrett Peterson
Groomsman
Garrett and I met during little league baseball when we were kids. We didn't become good friends until middle school when we played basketball together. We have been great friends ever since. Garrett and I have spent so many hours spotting fields for big bucks and chasing turkeys in the woods. I chose Garrett to stand by my side because he has always been a great friend and has always been there for me.
Sami Marshall
Bridesmaid
Sami has been a huge part in both John and I's lives. I've gotten the honor of getting to know Sami through Johnny and I am so blessed that he brought her into my life. Sami is such a kind-hearted human and will always make you feel so special. She is a sweet soul and will do anything for you. I honestly don't know what I would do without her in my life. I am so incredibly blessed for our friendship.
Cory Manning
Groomsman
Cory and I became friends through Brian. He is the most reliable person a guy could ask for. He knows how to put me in my place and he also knows how to let me cry on his shoulder. I couldn't get married without having Cory there. He is another guy that I love singing at the top of my lungs with. I chose Cory to stand by my side because he is someone I can rely on and he has the kindest soul.
Haley Woodward
Bridesmaid
Haley and I have known each other since we both were little. I got to know her through my cousin Darian. Some of my favorite memories with Haley are when we were on the golf team. We knew when we were golfing together there was no chance we were going to take it seriously. Haley always knew how to make me laugh and she still does. She is a type of friend who will go out of her way to reach out to you to see how you are doing. That's one of my favorite things about her.
Kyle Cappetta
Groomsman
Kyle is Katlyn's brother. Over the last four years Kyle has become a really great friend of mine. We have a lot in common with golf being at the top of our priorities. I'm blessed that Katlyn's family has truly become family to me. Kyle is a very special person in both of our lives and we are blessed to have him standing by our side.
Patrick Sayers
Groomsman
Patrick and I have been friends since the day we started working at the DuBois Country Club together in high school. He is definitely my forever golf partner. We have been on many golf trips and in many golf tournaments together. During our younger years we were inseparable. Pat is always the life of the party and there is never a dull moment. I chose Pat to stand by my side because he is someone I can always count on. He never says no and he is the best friend a guy could ask for.
Stephen Cappetta
Officiant
Stephen is Katlyn's oldest brother. It was an easy choice for John and I to have him officiate our wedding. We knew he would be the perfect person to share with everyone our love story. Stephen took care of Katlyn a lot when she was little and those are some of the best memories. He is a very special person in both of our hearts. We are beyond excited for him to be officiating our wedding and having him stand up there right next to us on this very special day.
Krue Kolar
Groomsman
Krue Cameron Kolar is Teage and Sami's son. He is also my Godson. When the two of them made this wonderful little man my life changed forever. I have had a special bond with him ever since the first time I held him. He has been such a light in my life and is one of the best young men I've ever met. I am more than excited and blessed to have him stand by me on my big day. Krue has expressed it multiple times that he is very excited to wear his suit and stand up in the front with the boys.
Callan Kane
Ring Bearer
Callan is my Nephew. He is the happiest little bundle of joy on this earth. He has been such a blessing in our lives. Watching my brother and Alex become parents to Callan has been absolutely wonderful. We couldn't have our wedding without seeing Callan walk down the aisle towards us as our ring bearer. He will have you all clapping the whole way there.
Stevie Esposito
Flower Girl
Stevie is the daughter of Katlyn's cousin Alecia. Stevie is a ray of sunshine and a bundle of joy. It was an easy decision to have her as our flower girl. Alecia has always been an important person in my life and we are truly blessed to have her daughter in our wedding as our flower girl. We are so excited to watch Stevie walk down the aisle.
