Xena VanDusartz - Maid of Honor
Katrina and Xena met in 2015 and instantly had a connection. Katrina became Xena's "Big Sis" in their college sorority and their friendship continued to bloom. Katrina jokes that Xena is the female version of Brad. The only difference is that Xena is not afraid of pickles, zucchini, or ketchup on chicken. (No Xena, I'm never dropping that!)
Isaiah Rutten - Best Man
Brad and Isaiah met while in wrestling while in High School.
They had a lot of similar interests and hobbies and continued to be close friends into adulthood. Fun fact, Katrina met Isaiah nearly two years before she ever met Brad. Katrina once said that Isaiah was one of the best people she has ever met due to his strong moral compass. Since then, Katrina has retracted all of her statements.
Jessi Weber Untiedt - Bridesmaid
The first time Katrina laid her eyes on Jessi she said to herself, "I want to be best friends with her". It only took a few road trips and prank calls to Jessi's (now) husband Tommy for the 'best friends' goal to be accomplished. Over the past 10 years of friendship, one of Katrina's favorite things about Jessi is her fierce determination to keep shoes on Katrina's feet in Wisconsin winters.
Nate Pahl - Groomsmen
Best friend to both the Bride and the Groom, Nate actually (accidently) played match maker to Brad and Katrina. The three of them have spent countless hours together over the years. Resulting in friends that become family. Brad said that his favorite thing about Nate is how easily he can beat him in Smash Bros.
Allie Gregg - Bridesmaid
Allie is the first person that Katrina met in Rochester when Brad and Katrina moved in 2020. It took a few years, but Katrina and Allie became friends while "watching" Survivor on Thursday nights and gossiping about Allie's husband, Billy, right in front of him.
Bryce Crowson - Groomsmen
Bryce and Brad have been the best of friends since Middle School. As they got older, they spent many late nights playing newly released video games or lifting at the gym together. Brad says that he always knew he wanted Bryce in his wedding someday..to help make Brad look more built.
Brittney Becker - Bridesmaid
Brittney is Katrina's big sister. They joke that they met in-uttero, but Brittney is actually way older than Katrina. Like waaaay older. Some of Katrinas best memories with Brittney are playing Magic Blanket, Airplane, and American Idol- where Katrina always had to be the judge. (yes, I finally admit, I actually had fun being Simon Cowell everytime). Katrina hopes that playing Airplane did not give Brittney her scoliosis.
Brandon Haze - Groomsmen
Brandon is Brad's younger brother. Brad loves that Brandon was born on Christmas Day, guaranteeing that Brad's birthday would always be way more fun than Brandon's ever would be. The two of them have almost everything in common, which makes them not only brothers but also the best of friends.
