Wedding Party

Lindsey Hammond

Maid of Honor

Lindsey and Katy met moving into the fifth floor of their freshman dorm on the first day of college (Bemis is Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!) They didn't know each other too well when they decided on a late night dinner date to Steak-N-Shake. They ended up bonding over milkshakes and french fries and have been best friends ever since! It doesn't matter how much time has past since the last time they spoke, it seems as though no time has past at all.

Darren Thompson

Groomsman

Darren's friendship with John is hard to put into words. John has considered Darren's family to be his own for as long as he can remember. Now, instead of a short bike ride to Leslie Avenue, it's a long day of plane rides and airports. But to John, it's exactly the same as it was twenty years ago. Darren is as good as they come.

Jennie Kinnaird

Bridesmaid

Jennie and Katy have pictures together before they could even remember being friends. Jennie is Katy's oldest friend and they have been together throughout each phase of their lives. Even with many miles between them, they always make time for each other. 'Best Friends Forever' is something they wrote in notes to each other in school and it definitely still rings true!

Brad McGuirk

Groomsman

Brad and John have been running around since they were in elementary school. To this day, they don't skip a beat when they have a chance to catch up. They've shared countless long days on the golf course, and even more long nights at the ping pong table. Wherever you find these two together, you can bet that it's a good time.

Samantha Kawulok

Bridesmaid

Samantha and Katy grew up together and have many, many sleepovers under their belts. Growing older, they have stayed close because they both moved away from home with Samantha going from Pennsylvania to Colorado and Katy going from Texas to Idaho. Whether it's hiking down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon or gambling in Las Vegas, they love to make new memories together!

Sumer Harper

Groomswoman

Sumer, an OG. A ride or die. The "third wheel" of our tricycle. Answer the damn phone!

Sean King

Officiant

Sean and John became instantly close when they met in 2010. He has been close with both John and "Kate" since the very beginning of their relationship. Sean has been a part of their personal and professional goals and continues to be a huge means of support. He carries an energy that is unmatched by anyone and there is no better person to join these two in matrimony.

Patrick Gides

Groomsman
