Grace's sister Katherine will be serving as her Maid of Honor! Katherine is Grace's best friend in the world. &nbsp;They are often mistaken for twins and&nbsp;are convinced that they have twin telepathy (even though they are 6 and 1/2 years apart in age). Katherine and Grace have traveled to Disney World and New York City together, have attended many concerts together, and have a lot of the same friends. They truly love hanging out together, and their favorite nights are usually those spent lounging on the couch watching their favorite television shows.

Bill and Nick met their freshman year at the&nbsp;University of Illinois. They both lived in Townsend Hall on the same floor.

Although they live in different cities now, they have stayed close friends through traveling together to different cities and&nbsp;playing video games during the week.&nbsp;
