Katie & Katie met at Penn State in 2015 (she was her "little" in her business frat) and have been best friends since! She is the bride's friend soul mate and makes everything brighter through her endless jokes and bubbly personality - she is literally magic. Through her kindness and friendship, she has become a part of the Ross family. She is beautiful inside and out, and Katie could not imagine a day without her in it!

Maggie is Jake's youngest sister. All of Katie's friends call her "Mini Kincer" because she looks so much like Jake. Maggie is the kindest soul and brings humor to every situation. She is so thoughtful and Katie couldn't imagine their big day without Maggie standing next to her! Although she thinks of Maggie as her little sister already, she can't wait until it is official!

Mary is one of Jake's younger sisters. She has always made Katie feel like she is part of the family since day one and is the absolute sweetest! She is an undergrad at the U.S. Naval Academy and Katie and Jake couldn't be more proud of her. Katie can't wait to officially be sisters, even though she feels like they are sisters already. Go Navy! Beat Army!

Zetti is one of Jake's younger sisters. She is easy-going, fun, and always so cheerful. Zetti's energy and bubbly spirit is contagious - you can't help but smile and laugh the entire time you are with her. Katie loves being around her and is so excited to officially have her as a sister and a built-in bestie. She is an undergrad at the University of Pittsburgh. Hail to Pitt!

Katie met Karen through a friend in 2017 and they have been inseparable since - literally, they speak every single day before 8:00 am. They bond over their love of dogs, hiking, and Christmas. Karen has been there for Katie through everything the last few years and has been the definition of a best friend. Without Karen, Katie's world would have probably gone up into flames multiple times. Also, Karen is the reason Katie met Jake - we love Karen!!!

Katie and Fran met through Karen (bridesmaid) and have become best friends over the last couple years! Fran is one of the most loyal people you will ever meet - she goes above and beyond for the bride! Even their dogs are besties - Pippa and Farris. Katie is so lucky to have her as a friend, dog mom, fellow book reader, and more. Katie sees Fran usually at least once a week - she is Katie's DC family and she couldn't imagine her life without her in it.

Katie met Jessie in 2017 on her first day of work. They sat directly next to each other at orientation and have been best friends since - Katie was even in Jessie's wedding in May 2023 (most beautiful day)! Jessie is one of the kindest people you will ever meet - she sees the good in everything and everyone and doesn't have a mean bone in her body! Jessie is the best listener and is one of the most thoughtful people in the world. Katie is forever grateful she has Jessie in her corner!

Katie met Taylor at PSU in 2015 (Taylor was Katie's "big" in her business frat) & she now lives down the street from Katie in DC! She is so fun to be around, is everyone's hype woman, and has the best heart. She is one of Katie's role models because of how inspiring and how hard working she is. Jake and Katie are both super lucky to be so close with Taylor, and she will actually be officiating the wedding!

Katie met Alexa their senior year at Penn State! They went on a blind date to Chipotle to see if they were a good match to live together in DC. They lived together for 3 years and are truly the definition of "Rachel and Monica" from friends! She is like a sister to the bride and always will be. Alexa's energy is contagious and you can't help but have the best time when she is around. You can catch her breaking it down on the dance floor - front and center!!

Katie met Kara in early 2018 through work/mutual friends. They instantly became best friends through their love of hiking - they even hiked to Machu Picchu together! Kara enjoys all the cool things that Katie does, like Harry Potter. Kara is the type of person to make a whole room laugh and smile through her constant optimism and quirky personality. Kara just makes everyone's heart happy.

Matt and Jake met in college at the University of Maryland (UMD). Jake went over to his house to play Super Smash Bros ~among other things that ya do in college~ with a bunch of people. Jake lived with Matt after college for 3 years, in a big group house and in an apartment in DC. The two share multiple hobbies including cooking and going on movie dates together. He is possibly the bride's main competition.

Jake and Jake were in the same frat pledge class at UMD and went on to live together junior and senior year. They have always gotten along, except for one time when Berman threw Kincer's pizza on the ground and stomped on it leading to an altercation. They made up and it has been smooth sailing ever since. After college, they became roomies again in the infamous "616" house with 6 guys and 3 fridges. The Jakes have visited Colorado, Austin, and Thailand together and somehow survived all three.

Mitch and Jake also were in the same pledge class at UMD and lived together in the infamous "616" house, where they became great friends. Mitch and Jake traveled to Barcelona together and had the best time including clubbing all night, both of their phones dying, getting lost, possibly "being kidnapped", and sending the bride multiple snapchats to tell her that Jake loves her for the first time - nothing is more romantic than a "te amo" in a puff of smoke at the club!

Richard has been one of Jake's best friends since High School in Frostburg, MD. It's truly an absolute miracle the two of them survived the shenanigans they got up to. Jake had the honor of standing by Richard's side at his wedding in July 2023. Luckily, Richard and his wife, Denisa, live close in Fairfax, VA and are able to meet up for pickleball matches, mini golfing, and dinner dates. Richard is the only non-terp in Jake's wedding party - he hails from VA Tech, go Hokies!!!

Jake met Andy freshman year through Gabe (another groomsman) - they lived in the same building. Jake and Andy went on to become roommates sophomore year, junior year, their 5th year, and after college as well....Apparently inseparable. This meant long hours of listening to Andy’s budding career in music. Jake always says Andy is the smartest person he knows, despite the fact he requires 15-20 business days to reply to his texts.

Gabe is the first person at UMD that Jake met! They both attended an orientation weekend in 2013 and lurked around the sign for their program waiting for someone else to show up first. Jake and Gabe were immediate friends in freshmen year and stayed close since then, living together several times. Gabe is best known for introducing Jake to EDM shows at Echostage, and also probably still owing him money from a decade ago. But Jake graciously forgives.

Another fellow terp - meet RJ! Jake met RJ because they were in the same fraternity but didn't become close friends until they were on the Exec Board together (Jake's position - "I helped plan parties"). RJ and Jake text and call each other nonstop, mainly about fantasy football and it's quite a bromance. Sadly, RJ loses to Jake every year though in the league :/ However, RJ beats Jake on the driving range.
