Katelyn and Meghan met in 2015 at Appalachian State University. Meghan was Katelyn's little in their sorority, Alpha Phi, and Katelyn's senior year roommate. It was Meghan who convinced Katelyn to relocate to Charlotte, NC where the two now live 8-minutes apart. Meghan has welcomed Katelyn to Charlotte with open arms and made her feel at home in NC again. Meghan is getting married in May 2024, so the two are fully enjoying planning their weddings together.
Emily Zebrowski - Co-Maid of Honor
Katelyn and Emily met at Appalachian State in 2015. Emily was Katelyn's grand-big in their sorority. While grand-big is Emily's official title, she has been like Katelyn's big sister throughout the years. Since graduating, the two have stayed close bonding over all things Bravo, traveling back and forth to visit each other (Emily made frequent trips to D.C), and sharing tons and tons of laughs during girl's trips.
Jilyan Nelson - Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Jilyan first met in high school. At the time, Katelyn was very shy. To this day, Katelyn still credits Jilyan for breaking her out of her shyness. Jilyan is the funny, vocal friend Katelyn needed in high school. Katelyn and Jill have experienced many life milestones together. From graduating high school, having babies (only fur babies for Katelyn), and getting engaged, the two have always been there to support and celebrate each other.
Elizabeth McCann - Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Elizabeth met at Appalachian State University in 2017. The two were in Alpha Phi together where Elizabeth was Meghan's little, which made her Katelyn's grand-little. Katelyn and Liz could be found at Portos together on any given weekend in college. The two have shared many late nights with lots of laughs, lots of Cookout trays, and lots of snapchat memories to prove it.
Mallorie Joseph - Bridesmaid
Katelyn and Mallorie first met in 2015 at Appalachian State University. Funny enough, the two met in line at a Luke Combs concert at Legends in Boone when they noticed they were wearing the exact same outfit. Weeks later, they met again at a retreat for new members of their sorority. The first night of the retreat, the two stayed up late eating leftover pasta from dinner together. The rest was history!
Jennifer Lally - Bridesmaid
Jennifer is Michael's little sister. Jennifer and Katelyn first met after Katelyn and Michael started dating in 2018. We all know that meeting your significant other's siblings can be very intimidating, but Jennifer has always welcomed Katelyn from day 1. Katelyn was able to be with Jennifer on the day of her wedding, so Katelyn is thrilled to have Jennifer as part of her bridal party.
Groomsmen
Myles Owens - Best Man
Michael and Myles met at basketball camp in the summer of 2010. They started as teammates, then became lifelong friends. Although the two have not lived close to each other since high school, they have still maintained their long distance friendship through frequent golf trips and birthday celebrations. Now, the two live a close drive to each other in North Carolina, so the golf trips have quickly multiplied.
John Hardin - Groomsman
Michael and John met in middle school where they both played on the school's basketball team. After meeting through basketball, they learned they were in-fact neighbors, so they spent their summers riding their bikes to each other's houses, playing street hockey, and stirring up trouble. Their friendship has lasted into adulthood where they continue to hang out and play golf as much as the girls allow!
Ches Edwards - Groomsman
Michael was introduced to Ches when he played on the rival high school basketball team with John. As you can imagine, there's been years of smack-talk between the two. Michael and Ches were fast friends after being introduced by John. Since then, they've been roommates, and even co-workers. They now spend time bonding over hours of PlayStation gaming and golfing. Michael also takes credit for introducing Ches to his fiance, Maddie, who is one of Katelyn's friends from college.
Alex Laws - Groomsman
As you may have known or guessed, Alex is Katelyn's younger brother. Alex and Michael first met when Alex was in high school and Michael started coming to his baseball games with Katelyn. Like the other guys, Alex and Michael's friendship is also built on their shared love of golf and NFL (and of course picking on Katelyn).
Kevin McQueeney - Groomsman
John introduced Michael to Ches, and John and Ches both introduced Michael to Kevin. The four boys lived together in Boone at The Cottages, where they continued to stir up trouble. Although Kevin now lives in Colorado, he and Michael stay in touch regularly (via PlayStation, of course).
Jake Hobson - Groomsman
Michael met Jake through Ches. After hanging out a few times, they realized how much they have in common. The two became close friends through their shared love of soccer, PlayStation, and picking on Ches. The three boys lived together in Raleigh prior to Michael moving to D.C.
