Katie could not imagine anyone but her sister standing beside her on her wedding day. As they have gotten older, these sisters have become best friends, and even went on a 3 week camping trip together (without pushing each other off a cliff too)! Katie is so glad to have her as her maid of honor, and can not thank her enough for being her best friend, and an even better sister.

Katie and Katri were freshman year roommates at Michigan Technological University, and lived together all four years. Together, they have shared countless memories; karaoke during winter carnival, camping trips out west, laughing until they cried late into the night, coffee house study sessions, and bar hopping throughout downtown Houghton. Katie is so happy to have Katri play such an important role on her big day.

Jenna and Katie were roommates at Saginaw Valley State University. Katie had sent a mass email looking for a roommate, and Jenna was the first to respond. The rest is history; study sessions in the living room, late nights dancing in the bars, wine nights that resulted in laughing until they were both in tears, a trip to Washington DC, and spending 3 weeks out west camping under the stars. Together, Katie and Jenna have created lifelong memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Katie and Maddie met at the beginning of their graduate program at Saginaw Valley State University. Maddie and Katie completed a clinical rotation together in Montana from August-November of 2022. During that time they explored Glacier and Banff National Parks, and took their dogs on countless adventures.

Katie and Maddy met at the beginning of their graduate program. They were apartment neighbors, study partners, and quickly became best friends. Katie is so glad Maddy can be apart of her big day.

Annalee and Katie also met at the beginning of their graduate school journey. Annalee is considered the "mom" of their friend group and is always there to offer advice (mainly fashion related). Katie is thrilled to have her stand beside her on her wedding day, and can not thank her enough for her endless support.

Mia is Joe's cousin, and Katie has had the privilege of watching her grow up over the past 10 years. Mia loves arts and crafts, cats, and soccer. Katie is so happy Mia can be included in her and Joe's big day!

Alex is Joe's younger brother; and these two have grown into best friends over the years. Joe picked Alex to be his best man because he has been there through everything; and Joe has been able to watch him grow into the incredible man he is today.

Xhulio is Joe's cousin, and even though they live thousands of miles apart, Joe knows that he can always count on him to be there when he needs him. Joe is thankful Xhulio was able to make this trip and is able to stand beside him on his wedding day.

Joe met Andrew at Michigan Technological University. Andrew lived on the same floor as Katie and Katri their freshman year. Together they have been on countless adventures through the U.P and now both live in lower Michigan. Game nights in the dorm kitchenette, broomball, bar hopping, hiking, and more...Marogi really has been through it all with Joe.

Connor and Joe also met at Michigan Technological University, and Connor also lived on the same floor as Katie and Katri their freshman year. Connor and Joe have shared memories at hockey games, broomball, camping (when Connor brought an entire suitcase for one night), and more. Joe is thankful Connor can be here and support him.

Trevor is Joe's future brother in law. Joe is happy to be gaining a new brother, and can't wait to see where the future will take them. Joe and Trevor both enjoy exploring the outdoors, playing video games, and still need to determine who is the ultimate "Rocket League" champion.

Jacob and Joe both met in high school, and have been friends ever since. They both bring out the inner "nerd" in one another; and enjoy laughing at terrible movies together, playing video games, and jeep-ing around Michigan.

Antony is Joe's cousin, and both Katie and Joe have been able to watch him grow into a fine young man. Antony and Joe enjoy all things soccer; playing, watching, talking about, and cheering. Antony is always there when you need a laugh, and Joe is grateful he is able to stand and support him.

Parker and Paisley are Katie's second cousins. They checked off all the boxes to be the ring bearer and flower girl: cute (check), fun (check), and stylish (check)!
