Fun fact about me:

I always hated children and now I’m a teacher. Welp.

How I Met the Bride:

I believe we met in 8th grade and Alyssa introduced us. I became good friends with Alyssa in middle school, and Alyssa was already BFFs with Katie. Not sure where we met exactly- I have faint memories of us meeting at the beach or perhaps at a SCHS football game. Either way, we bonded over being weird and having an unhealthy obsession with One Direction.

Favorite thing about the couple:

My favorite thing about Katie and Dylan is that they met so early in college and they are still together! I remember in high school when all our friends would discuss who would get married first. I don’t really remember it being Katie, but look at her now! She definitely showed us all up.

Favorite memory with the Bride:

It’s hard to choose just one, but my favorites are our trips to LA. We went once for her soft-grunge-themed 16th birthday party with some other friends, where we arrived at the pearly gates of Hollywood in a stretch limo, popping Martinelli’s like it was champagne and snorting In-n-out salt packets like it was….well….. (you can cut this part out lmao).

But, my favorite was probably our solo trips to LA. It was just us two together, walking around like we were on a cool-kid reality show, on our way to Melrose Ave after getting a reality check whilst walking down Sunset Blvd (it was not like what you see in the old Hollywood glamour movies). We went again to see Sky Ferreira (a literal Tumblr goddess), where we were front row in our best 90s/00s grunge attire, and asking people for a cigarette so we would seem older and cooler, of course. It’s OK Rhonda and Bill, it was all about the aesthetic.

Any funny stories to tell about the bride and groom?:

Meeting Dylan at the McGowan house in San Clemente, where we had a great time soaking in the infamous jacuzzi. I think I scared him a little with all the crazy things I would say and do. Not to mention warning him about all the little Gucci poops in the grass.

For Katie, more fondly known as Caggie Anus, there are countless funny stories that we share. I honestly can’t name one. I think about our high school years in drama class literally being the worst students but always making everyone laugh, even if “everyone” was just us.

Who is passing out first?:

Rhonda. Lol jk probably Katie because she can go hard. Remember the jungle juice days? Here I will link Thunderstruck by ACDC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM

Where will Dylan and Kat be in 10 years:

At their exclusive lake house somewhere on the New England coast drinking margaritas and listening to DJ Earworm. Their kids will be on a banana boat with Grandpa Bill in the distance, causing a ruckus. Katie and Dylan will laugh and hold hands until the sun sets (or until one of them gets too sweaty).
