Mike Ross - Best Man
Michael and Garrett met when the boys were in high school, there was an instant bond between them. Michael has been one of Garrett's oldest and most dearest friends. Garrett was even names Godfather to Michael's son, Mikey. They are three peas in a pod! There is no other person the Groom could imagine supporting him as he marries the love of his life.
Amber Slayden - Matron of Honor
Amber & Kate met at York Collage during Sorority Spring Recruitment in 2007! There was instantly a spark & connection they felt and during the pledging process were matched at Big Sister & Little Sister! They spent the next 2 years side by side at every college & Greek life event on and off campus!
Geography would prove to be their biggest challenge as Amber lives in Maryland & Kate in New York so staying side by side became harder over the years but no matter when or where they were together it was like no time at all had ever passed. The girls have also managed to stay in touch with daily video voice mails-a fun new tool discovered during the pandemic lock down. It wouldn't be a normal day without an MP from either one of them!
Amber is one of Kate's oldest and dearest friends, and no other person could possibly be more fitting as her Matron of Honor!
Melissa Fannon-Wisner - Bridesmaid
Fannon & Kate also met in the Spring of 2007 at sorority recruitment! Like Big & Little, Fannon was never too far behind on any college adventures. Fannon was always an amazing support system to Kate and continues to be there for her to this day to listen and answer any medical questions she might have, she even waives the co-pay! Kate & Fannon did manage to "stick it" to their respective geographies, by traveling together to Spain in the Fall of 2017! They continue to reminisce and hope one day, when the travel becomes safe once again they can embark on a new adventure together!
Brandon Billings - Groomsman
Having met at work while both at Optimum, Garrett & Brandon bonded over their love of video games & especially board games. Couple's game night with Brandon's wife, Marissa, have become a regular event that both couples always look forward to. They've become more frequent now that Kate & Garrett live 6 minutes away! Brandon (with a little nudge from Kate) was even able to get the groom to do the Time Warp during both couples annual participation in the Rocky Horror Picture Show! Brandon is such a special friend to Garrett and after having served as a groomsman in his wedding, is thrilled to have Brandon return the honor.
Rich Selgrad - Groomsman
As the Bride's brother, Garrett is thrilled to have Rich stand with him on such a special day. Rich has always been willing to lend a helping hand whenever the couple needs a help with a house project! Rich always seems to have the answer to any plumbing, electric or wood working problem! Their love for their dogs always keeps them entertained or with a funny story to share. Both guys also bond as they needle and pick on Kate for her silly antics! Garrett's overjoyed to be gaining such a great brother - in - law!
Heather O'Reilly - Bridesmaid
Another one of Kate's Phi My sorority sisters! Heather was Kate's Pledge Mom and always with her for a creative fraternity mixer or pool night at the local college bar, Murph's Study Hall. After college both Kate & Heather moved back home to Long Island where their friendship truly blossomed. Together they re-vamped the Phi Mu Long Island Alumni Chapter, hosting and organizing several events for LI based alumni and taking many adventures on and off Long Island, even as far as Denmark! The girls share a love for all things royal, historical and British-especially high tea-one of their favorite things to do together! Heather has been Kate's rock, and a warm & welcome ear to listen to all of Kate's crazy life and dating stories!
Charlie Volmer - Groomsman
Jokingly referred to as the Bride's "Brother from another Mother" Garrett & Charlie have created a unique bond while dating Kate. Kate and Charlie have been friends for over ten years! The guys have spent time "bro-ing out" on camping, shooting & fishing trips. While he's often tried, Charlie is still unable to convince Garrett the Met's are a better team than the Yankees. Garrett is thrilled to include Charlie as a groomsmen as he marries Kate knowing he's gaining another life long friend.
Lindsay Frey - Bridesmaid
As the Groom's twin sister, Kate is overjoyed to be gaining Lindsay not only as a friend but a sister of her very own!

Kate & Lindsay have grown close over the years and Kate is thrilled to have Lindsay stand with her on her wedding day.
Franklin - Attendant
Truly the star of the show...Franklin was Kate's first love, and will always hold a special place in her, and now Garrett's heart. Unfortunately, Franklin will not be able to participate in the wedding day festivities but will be there with all of us in spirit.
