Bridal Party

Lisa Semro`
Lisa Semro` - Officiant
Lisa is the coolest and down to the earth person you'll ever meet. She has known the couple since the very beginning... it only makes sense for her to be the one to marry them! Lisa's song request will definitely be Lemon.
Maverick
Maverick - Best Dog
Mav is the newest addition to their family! As their first dog, he has brought so many new memories, laughter and cuddles in the couple's lives. He loves blueberries and stealing his parent's slippers and socks.

THE LADIES

Cecilia Bui
Cecilia Bui - Maid of Honor
Ceci met the bride 19 years ago during summer swim league and have become inseparable. When they were younger, their phone contacts for each other were "Ding Dong". One of Katie's favorite memories were their sleepovers - staying up all night talking for hours! Fun fact: they are actually not related!
Rachel Aguirre
Rachel Aguirre - Bridesmaid
Rachel has the most genuine spirit and personality. There is not one person that doesn't love her! She easily became one of Katie's best friend in Colorado. They both love the combo of pineapple + coconut and mojitos. You will definitely see Rachel double-fisting white claws at the wedding!
Allyson Ahern
Allyson Ahern - Bridesmaid
Ally and Katie were college roommates. They spent many nights watching The Bachelor, This is Us and How To Get Away With Murder. Ally is extremely competitive. Regardless if it's a friendly pick-up volleyball game, beer pong or corn hole... she will want to win!
Kalie Bui
Kalie Bui - Bridesmaid
Growing up as sisters, they were always scheming against their brother and would spend their weekends binge watching Grey's Anatomy. Kalie loves taking embarrassing pics of her big sister. One thing she does hate is sharing a bed with Katie since she's a bed hog... allegedly.
Mina Delavar
Mina Delavar - Bridesmaid
Mina is Katie's soul sister! They met in OT school and she instantly made LA feel like home for Katie. She is the queen of good food and vibes. At the wedding, you'll find Mina tearing up the dance floor or taking Instagram photos for anyone who asks. (she'll capture your best angles)
Kim Tran
Kim Tran - Bridesmaid
Katie met Kim at UW 10 years ago. She is always the mom of the group and has the most infectious laugh. She has been there for the bride during worst and best times. Katie can always count on Kim for advice, support and spontaneous boba runs or Din Tai Fung dates.
Laura Vong
Laura Vong - Bridesmaid
Katie's friendship with Laura began at UW. She has always been a big sister and role model for Katie. They have been friends for 10 years! One thing about Laura is that she will always choose to be comfortable and cozy so you will almost always find her in a hoodie and sweats. Fingers crossed she'll dress up for the wedding!
Meghan Wentzel
Meghan Wentzel - Bridesmaid
Katie met Meghan in OT school. She is that one friend that will drive an hour to drop soup at your front door if you're sick or go months without talking then end up FaceTiming for hours. They love getting their nails done together and immediately regret what they asked for. You'll see her taking half face selfies at the wedding.

THE BOYS

Kory "Janz/Korn Dog" Jansma
Kory "Janz/Korn Dog" Jansma - Best Man
Kory and Evan met through soccer at a young age and have stayed close ever since. As a friend, teammate, and pseudo family member, Kory is notorious for knowing how to have a good time, how to lend a helping hand when needed, and has the most legendary dance moves that you will ever see. We're not saying that they're good, but they are legendary, nonetheless. Catch Janz on the dance floor with a drink in hand and getting the party started.
Andrew "Blade/Drew"  Blaylock
Andrew "Blade/Drew" Blaylock - Groomsmen
Andrew and Evan have been friends since elementary school, and Andrew has been known for keeping it real with Evan; telling it like it is when necessary. Andrew and Evan lived together their Senior year of high school, and Andrew has been like family with the Brown-Kuchel's since then. Catch Andrew at this wedding, coaxing the other groomsmen into overindulging, and busting out a Stanky Leg out on the dance floor.
Chase "Chaunce"  Constantine
Chase "Chaunce" Constantine - Groomsmen
Chaunce and Evan's friendship started out as high school basketball teammates, and they were later co-workers at a kid's summer camp in college. Chase has always been one of Evan's go-to-people when in need of advice, whether it be about life or good craft beer. Like most of Evan's friends, you will find Chase out on the dance floor, but watch out for his lengthy arms/legs when he really gets MOVING.
Tate "Tots" Edwards
Tate "Tots" Edwards - Groomsmen
Tate and Evan met in their Junior year of high school when Tate moved from Washington State. Tate was an immediate fit in the band of longtime friends that had been together for over a decade, and his friendship with Evan and the rest of the crew has been sealed ever since. Tate is the artistic and creative person in the bunch, but you can still get him a little rowdy when he's given the proper encouragement.
Tyler "Elks" Elkins
Tyler "Elks" Elkins - Groomsmen
Evan and Elks met in pre-school, but did not reunite until middle school and high school. He is an incredibly loyal friend and is the first person to make you laugh at any time, or to defend your honor -- whether it is or isn't deserved. Elks is a party no matter the time or place. Catch him at the wedding cracking jokes, singing along to the music, and busting a move out on the dance floor with the best of them.
Gavin LaFollette
Gavin LaFollette - Groomsmen
Evan and Gavin met at a young age as teammates playing competitive soccer. Gavin has always been somebody that Evan has looked up to as a hard worker and an incredibly loyal friend. After a long time apart Evan and Gavin reunited in college and their friendship continued to grow into adulthood. Gavin is now "grown up", but you will still find him at the wedding as a participant and instigator of plenty shenanigans.
Kaleo Nakano
Kaleo Nakano - Groomsmen
Kaleo and Evan met in college in Grand Junction, CO through mutual friends and their relationship eventually evolved into close friends and roommates for several years. Kaleo and Evan shared a strong work ethic and commitment to their education, and Kaleo was a person who always kept Evan accountable to his commitments. The Brown-Kuchel family was lucky to gain another family member in Kaleo, as he would frequently joint them during holiday/family celebrations throughout their college years.
John "Petes" Petersen
John "Petes" Petersen - Groomsmen
Evan and John met playing youth league basketball and have stayed close since those days. They were even college roommates for several years at Colorado Mesa University where they continued to grow their bond. John has always been a good friend to lend an ear and and maybe even antagonize Evan into making questionable decisions. John will be found at the wedding with a Coors Light (or maybe three) in hand and singing along loudly to the music.
Jack Schmidt
Jack Schmidt - Groomsmen
Since meeting in pre-school, Jack and Evan have been friends ever since. As Evan and Jack pursued their post-graduate professions in healthcare, they have maintained a close relationship. Jack has always been a good resource to give advice and commiserate when needed. Jack will be the wisest and wildest person that you will meet in the wedding party. Catch him having deep, intellectual conversations prior to the wedding, and then rolling the dice on the dance floor after a few cocktails.
Eric "Big Cat" Shultz
Eric "Big Cat" Shultz - Groomsmen
Eric, E-Rock, Big Cat. He goes by many names and is one of Evan's earliest friends. Evan and Eric met in 1st grade and have remained close friends ever since. Eric has the calm demeanor that is desperately needed in their ragtag group of friends. He has always been the friend to hear Evan out and talk through predicaments when needed. Through youth basketball, wild high school days, and Eric's tolerance of Evan's wild behavior at his wedding, this friendship has withstood the test of time.
Conor "C-Web" Webster
Conor "C-Web" Webster - Groomsmen
Conor and Evan go way back, meeting in pre-school in the mid 90's. Growing up, Conor and Evan were always at one another's house -- almost every weekend -- and have remained close after all these years. Conor is a caring friend and is always looking out for Evan's best interests. Of all Evan's friends, Conor is a voice of reason. He will typically be the angel on your shoulder and will encourage the more prudent and responsible actions.
