Big sister Victoria has been in Katherine’s life since day one. From playing with Katherine in her crib, to sharing a college apartment in San Diego, to serving as the maid of honor—Victoria has been there every step of the way!

Dear Big Sis,

I can’t tell you how happy I am about how close we’ve gotten over the past few years. You’ve been an amazing sister and Auntie all over the world—from Portugal to Disneyland. Thank you for being there for me and always staying positive and patient… even when I’m losing it! I love you!

Across Katherine and Becky's 30-year friendship, they've made some big steps! In the early days, they attended church camp, crashed Katherine's Tercel, and briefly shared a career as payday loan sharks at Check Into Cash. The adventures continued in their 20s with a party bus in Austin, Third Eye Blind concerts across multiple states, and more than a few sketchy nights in their hometown of Benicia.

These days, they've (supposedly) put their wild streaks behind them and live just 10 minutes apart with their fiancés and daughters. Their adventures may be less "run around Alcatraz in the snow" and more "run around a playground chasing our kids"—but they wouldn't have it any other way.

Becky,

You are my sister from another mister, my ride or die, and my partner in every bad—and awesome—decision. You only live once (YOLO, bestie!), and I'm so glad I get to spend my life with you in it. I love you forever! Now… when’s our next vacay?!

Eden was a just a three year old when Katherine and Rob met and has now made it all the way to sixteen. Katherine has loved being her aunt all these years. There were early times of trips to Disneyland and visits back home to Ohio… These days you can find them getting their nails done, testing out home hair-dye kits, doing workout videos perhaps just one level too hard, gossiping just a little bit about boys, and practicing driving Katherine's car. (Katherine needs as much practice as Eden).

I am so proud of the kind, generous and beautiful person you have grown into! You are a wonderful big cousin role model for Sophia. I can't wait to take you to Paris!
Love and kisses,
Aunt Katherine

Ben and Rob met as young chefs in South Florida at the Boca Raton Resort and Club over 20 years ago. Sharing a passion of cooking, hip hop music, and Miami sports, they became fast friends. When they were 22 they moved to San Francisco, having a great time exploring the Bay Area and eating at amazing restaurants (even though they were broke). A few years later Rob moved to San Diego, luckily met Katherine and came back to San Francisco. Around that time Ben had his firstborn, Donovan, and that’s when Rob became “Uncle Robbie”. It took a while, but the Plungs couldn’t have been more thrilled for Robbie and Katherine to start a family of their own. Even though their own journey has taken the Plungs to Pittsburgh PA, Ben and Robbie are close as ever- only now the talks are more about parenthood and less about the Miami Dolphins.

When Rob's baby sister Cait married Adrian in 2021, Rob (who has three sisters) finally got a brother! With their shared love of golf, plaid button ups, and being amazing dads, sometimes people wonder if they aren't really related after all. We are honored to have Uncle Adrian in Sophia's life and standing at the altar supporting Rob on our wedding day.
