Isn't the youngest child supposed to be the most overshadowed? Because Marquette University missed that memo when they made her the face of their recent recruitment campaign. Maybe it was her 4.0 GPA, exceptional art skills, or the best freckles this world has ever seen! (P.S. ask her about her and Tristan's secret handshake).

Master of Social Work Ginny Sperkowski has been an advocate of our relationship ever since she forced Tristan to carry her saxophone to and from grade school. Her devotion to her clients, her cat Miss Lady, and everyone who is lucky enough to be loved by her is unmatched. No one else has racked up more years of friendship with Tristan and Cat combined than her.

As one of the coolest people we know, Maggie has been busy over the past few years, helping her team win a national title for D1 women's rugby, traveling abroad, and using her Projects for Peace grant for an interfaith dialogue project in Guatemala. But Maggie has never been one to decline a good party, so she's sure to keep the dance floor alive at our wedding.

Owner of the most colorful wardrobe, dog mom to Billie's bestie, Honey Bee, and Cat's former college roommate, Kate has always been there to offer a listening ear and the best hugs. If you're ever on one of the many environmentally-friendly bike lanes in Kansas City, give your appreciation to Kate and the Mid-America Regional Council.

Meg has been one of Cat's most loyal friends since freshman year of high school and the best travel partner for her during their Duchesne exchange trip to London . If you're looking for a great Third of July Party, check out the Drahota's but please BYOB unless you are okay with Meg's preference of alcohol (Busch Light and Burnett's Vodka).

Noele and Cat shared a love of Nicki Minaj, slither.io, and shopping, which led to the perfect recipe for a high school friendship. Nowadays, Noele is protecting the Omaha community from lead poisoning and remains one of the most genuine and kind friends in Cat's life. But by all accounts, she will still be late every time you pick her up.

Born and raised in Wichita, Kansas, Frank's rugged looks have recently landed him in 2024's Kansas City Fashion Week. The Karaoke DJ industry has truly lost one of the greats, as Frank now explores the world of college recruitment with a hint of social media influence on the side. We've been blessed to have shared two cross-country road trips with Mr. Macias, and countless other memories, past, present, and future.

Widely unknown for his time as External Vice President for the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, Vince has since moved on to a more modest life filled with marriage, cat parenthood, cardiovascular medical care, and disc golf. He's lived with Tristan for a total of 4 years, thus having vastly more experience than Cat as his cohabitant.

Boston has gained another STEM major! Big bro is currently at a startup working on blood analysis. That, or microchipping the vaccines for government mind control. My main gripe with him is that I'll probably never get a chance to play as Player 1 on the Wii.

A modern-day Tony Stark (except only the parts where he's building the suits), Alex is a prosthetics resident who is the likely cause of my cat Ferguson's childhood trauma. Perhaps my closest competition when it comes to skiing... but he's closest to me when it comes to golf.

Aaron is the preferred teammate for any and all drinking games and a one-of-a-kind hype man. He's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. He also happens to be a kind, supporting, and caring friend, who hopefully won't mind me saying that he's punching above his weight with his partner Sophia.

King of the grill and of the golf course, Dr. Jacob Gunn, DPT, has won too many games of Catan to make me believe that he hasn't cheated and therefore must be stopped at all costs. Frankly he's good at everything he does and it pisses me off. Regardless, I'm thankful to have a bodyguard.
