Wedding Party

Elsa Wastian
Elsa Wastian - Co-Maid of Honor
Elsa and Kat lived together for almost 6 years during and after college. They are the type of friends that know exactly what the other person is thinking without exchanging any words. On a whim, they got matching tattoos of each other's initials, and it's the only tattoo Kat ever wants.
Nathan 'Nacho' Warner
Nathan 'Nacho' Warner - Best Man
Nathan is Mitch's younger brother and one of his best friends. He has spent the last two years living in Austin, Texas but is recently moved back to Minneapolis which means all four brothers are back in the Twin Cities again. Nathan and Mitch have always been close but the year they lived together here in Minneapolis brought them even closer. As with all his brothers, Mitch has too many great memories to list but some of his favorite times with Nathan were during the summers as kids when they would go down to the park near their music teacher's house and spend hours spying on them doing completely normal things.
Carolyn Payne
Carolyn Payne - Co-Maid of Honor
Carolyn and Kat have been best friends since they were 5. They grew up together sharing crushes, school lunches, and now they're even engaged at the same time. She has lived in Vegas for the last few years but has not let distance get in the way of helping Kat prepare for her wedding day. She flew to Minneapolis to help Kat pick out her engagement ring AND flew out to go wedding dress shopping together.
Sean Warner
Sean Warner - Groomsman
Sean is Mitch's oldest brother and is one of the people he has most looked up to throughout his life. Being the oldest brother and cousin among the Mike and Richard Warner kids, Sean became a natural leader from a young age. From about the age of 8 Sean taught all his brothers and cousins how to dress, how to speak, and most importantly how they can all improve themselves to be cooler.
Lexie Graf
Lexie Graf - Bridesmaid
Kat and Lexie's friendship began in high school, and they became common law cousins after living together for 3 years in college. There is no one who will go harder on the dance floor than Lexie. If you challenge her to a dance battle, be prepared to lose.
Patrick Warner
Patrick Warner - Groomsman
Patrick is Mitchell's older brothers and one of the people he talks to most in his life. High school sports really brought the two together and they have remained close since. Back in the days of middle school football, Mitchell would consistely forget his warm weather gear for their games and practices. As soon at Patrick saw Mitchell getting dressed without proper warm gear, he would take his own clothes off his back and give them to Mitchell so that he would stay warm, at the expense of his own comfort and warmth. There are many more stories just like this that show the kind of person Patrick is.
Aly Meyer
Aly Meyer - Bridesmaid
Aly is Kat's favorite friend to go on an adventure with. The two of them have explored the Appalachian mountains, hiked through a waterfall, and driven 16 hours with a baby turtle in the back seat. Aly is a people person, an animal person, and a perfect person.
Michael Warner
Michael Warner - Groomsman
Although Michael has resided in Texas and Mexico over the last few years, it has not affected the strong relationship Mitch has with him. Mitch and Michael have many great memories of going to big Packer games together, most notably the Dez Caught It playoff game against the Cowboys when Mitch, Michael, their dads, and a busload of other people from Independence made the trek to Lambeau for the game. Mitch and Michael also have good memories together singing in the middle school church choir where they took their singing duties very seriously and never messed around up in the choir loft.
Leah Leverence
Leah Leverence - Bridesmaid
Leah is and has always been the life of the party. Any room she walks into, she brings the fun. She and Kat met in middle school and were banned from sitting next to each other for YEARS because they would laugh together too much.
Christopher Warner
Christopher Warner - Groomsman
Mitch had the pleasure of sharing a room with Christopher in the unfinished basement of an old house in La Crosse along with 4 other guys. The constant battle of keeping the massive centipedes and silverfish away was something that really brought them together. They have remained very close through the years, talking on the phone almost every day. These calls are usually about absolutely nothing but are enjoyable all the time. A favorite memory Mitch has with Chris is when they would be forced to push their beds together and create Mega Bed in order to stay warm during the winter in that basement.
Mary Walters
Mary Walters - Bridesmaid
Mary is the person who introduced Kat and Mitch freshman year of college. She is a goofball and a sweet pea and has been friends with Kat for over a decade. After years of maintaining a long-distance friendship in college, they now only live 15 minutes from each other.
Jonny Warner
Jonny Warner - Groomsman
Jonny is the resident vibe setter of the group. You will always find him hyping others up to get the party going which makes him the perfect addition to a wedding party. One of Mitch's favorite memories of Jonny is when Mitch and his friends were having a house party in college and told Jonny to bring some of his friends. 30 minutes later the doorbell rang and Jonny was standing on the porch with no less that 30 people behind him ready to party.
