The Year was 2012. Katie and I met in Junior high and instantly became friends. We bonded over our love of softball, horses, and Twilight (team Edward all day). We've been on beach trips, attended concerts, and had more sleep overs than I could ever count. If there is one thing I know for sure as we've grown up, Katie is always a phone call away. I'm so grateful for Katie and our friendship and cannot wait to stand by her side on her and Jo Jo's big day!

Me and Katie met through JoJo and Hunter. We instantly became besties. Even if we have only known each other for about 2 years it feels like a lifetime! We’ve made tons of memories together, from beach trips to having fires on random Saturday nights. The best way to describe our friendship is genuine. I know I’ll always have her as a friend, and I can’t wait to stand by her side!

Katie and I first met in 8th grade during “friend picture day,” when she hopped into a photo with our group of “Lineville girls.” From that moment on, I don’t have a single high school memory without her by my side. We got into our fair share of trouble together and made countless crazy, unforgettable memories. In college, we stayed close, living in the same city and continuing the fun. Katie has been so much more than a friend to me—she’s like family. We know each other’s quirks, secrets, and even food orders (no mayo for KT, ever!). She’s truly one of a kind, and I’m so proud to stand by her side as she marries the love of her life. I couldn’t be more honored to celebrate this special moment with her and can’t wait to make even more memories with the future Mrs. Brannock!

from Katie: "I didn’t really ‘meet’ Mary Grace—we’ve been together from the very start. She’s my sister, my built-in best friend, and only 17 months younger than me. Even though she is nonverbal, we’ve always had our own way of understanding each other. I can’t imagine my wedding day without her standing by my side as my bridesmaid"

Katie and I met through Miller. The first time we met, Miller and I drove to Jacksonville to hangout with Katie and her friends and we clicked from the beginning. It felt like a game of 20 questions the first few minutes lol. She quickly became someone I always wanted to hangout with every time I would go to Clay County. I can’t wait to stand by her side in October, and for Katie to officially be my sister-in-law in May! 

I was asked to babysit Katie, Miller, and Mary Grace. Their cousin Abigail was there that day and Katie and Abigail were determined to give me a run for my money! They played all kinds of tricks on me and ended up handcuffing me to the bedroom door. I through I wouldn’t be asked back but their mom text me and asked me to be their babysitter, so I did for about 2.5 years. P.S. She used to tell me how cute she thought my brother was (;

I met Katie in September of 2019 at work , she came into the group home I was working and we were in crisis (trouble basically) lol and my first question to her was “are you PCM certified” and she looked at me and said “yes” and we went on the mat together and have been close ever since. Katie is one of kind and I think that’s what makes us such good friends because we are totally opposite but mix so well 😂 I remember when I found out who she was by word of mouth but had never seen her I was “suppose” to not like her or talk to her because she was Mary Grace sister and we thought she was going to be a snitch or be mean because her sister went to the school we worked at but she was totally different , she was funny, witty and nice lol 

I met Katie my freshman year of college through Phi Mu! all it took was going to workout one time for me and katie to instantly click! When I came to college it was prime COVID so we had a lot of free time to spend together doing about anything you could think of haha! the next year, Katie and i lived together for my sophomore year and her senior year! some of my most favorite memories have Katie in them! From walking around campus with Blair, getting new dogs at the same time, random trips to clay county, so many spray tans, buying kiddie pools for the house, concerts, and so much more!! The best way to describe our friendship is like sisters, and that's one of the best friendships to have!!

When I first met katie I knew her as millers sister who had blonde hair and brown eyes, the same as me. One thing led to another at Loco Mex & the friendship began. Since then we share so many memories, from sorority bid day to now being in each other’s weddings. She has been there to hold me while I’ve cried and to cheer me on in my best moments for the last 5 years, and I cherish our friendship more than she will ever know. She is the best kind of friend. The kind of friend who no matter how far apart or days in between seeing each other you pick up right where you left off. I’m so grateful to have gotten to watch her find person in the most beautiful way. And I couldn’t pick a better husband for katie. I’m so thankful to be a part of their day! I love you both endlessly!

Katie and I met at work at the learning tree and we immediately became friends. She later told me she thought I was weird and that’s why she liked me which makes sense because she’s weird too. We have had countless sleepovers, many dinner dates at the Jeff, and so many memories of doing pretty much everything together. I practically lived with her so we decided to just move in together! Some of my favorite memories are of us being roommates. I know she is always just a phone call away and I am so thankful for our friendship. I’ve watched katie and jojo’s relationship blossom into what it is now which is truly beautiful. I am so happy for them and I’m so excited for the future!
