Melina Taylor - Maid of Honor
The bride’s little sister and forever best friend. Even though they live far apart, every time they’re together it feels like no time has passed. Melina always gets Katie... same humor, same chaos, same heart.
Brady Ackerman - Best Man
Austin’s twin brother and built-in lifelong partner. Brady loves to call Austin about absolutely everything, and their bond hasn’t changed one bit since childhood.
Emily Durow - Co. Maid of Honor
Katie’s best friend since 2020. They met at work, and Emily basically never left (in the best way). Always down for an adventure and always there when it matters.
Ryan Roth - Groomsmen
Austin’s friend since middle school. Ryan is happiest when he’s fishing, hunting, or hanging out with the guys... usually all three.
Jordyn Tuite - Bridesmaid
Katie’s friend since freshman year of college. Jordyn (and her fiancé Nick!) are the very reason Katie and Austin ever met — so they’ll always have a special place in this love story.
Nick Gronaas - Groomsmen
Austin’s friend and Jordyn’s fiancé. Nick helped bring the bride and groom together and used to be Austin’s go-to person… until Katie came along.
Kinsley Gurskis - Bridesmaid
A great friend Katie met during the first week of nursing school. They survived every high and low of nursing school side by side — plus their dogs are the same age, which makes life even more fun.
Skyler Pederson - Groomsmen
Austin’s childhood friend who lived just a few doors down. They grew up together, and Austin still considers him one of his closest people.
Skyler Selle - Bridesmaid
Skyler is one of the bride’s closest friends and someone she was lucky enough to meet during nursing school. Through long study nights, clinicals, and countless laughs (and tears), their friendship quickly became something so special. Now, as Skyler prepares for her own wedding this year, it feels even more meaningful to stand beside each other during such a beautiful season of life. She’s truly a forever friend.
Owen Davidson - Groomsmen
Katie’s brother — and honestly, he and Austin talk more than Katie and Owen do. They’ve built their own bond, and it means the world to both of them.
Sophia Alberts - Personal Attendent
Sophia is a nursing school friend turned forever friend. After bonding over scrubs, coffee, and surviving exams, their friendship grew into something truly lasting. Her kindness and steady support mean so much, and the bride is so grateful to have her standing by her side.
Luke Taylor - Usher
Luke is the bride’s brother and Melina’s twin. Known for his quiet nature and kind heart, he’s always been someone you can count on. We’re so happy he’s part of this special day as an usher.
