Wedding Party

Katie Wilson
Katie Wilson - Matron of Honor
Katie and Joy met in the fall of 2012. They both were working at the Clarksville Station and didn’t really like each other at first. Katie has been there for everything for Joy. When Joy found out she was having Noah Katie spoiled him and loved him instantly. Katie is the friend that will say what you don’t want to hear but knows you need to. Without Katie Joy wouldn’t have made it through a lot of tough situations.
Abby Ortago
Abby Ortago - Bridesmaid
Abby has been Joy’s longest friend. They met at the ballparks when they were 5, watching their brothers play ball. Abby and Joy are the definition of opposites attract. Abby is calm and collected, while Joy is wild and never collected. In their younger years Abby would inform Joy of all the Nancy Drew video game clues, while Joy would inform Abby about her favorite horse fad at the time. Now, they are both mothers raising their mini me’s and watching them act like they did.
