Wedding Party
Meet Our People
Every love story has a supporting cast, and ours is filled with loyal friends, lifelong family, questionable influences and some of the very best people we know.
These are the people who have stood beside us through every season, encouraged our adventures, helped us build the life we love and will now stand beside us as we become husband and wife.
Nicole Davis - Maid of Honor
Nicole is one of Katie’s longest and most treasured friends. As an added bonus, she graduated with Jack and has also been one of his good friends for more than 20 years—which means she knew both halves of this love story long before it ever became one. There was never any question who Katie wanted standing closest to her on the wedding day.
Pete Lugas - Best Man
Pete may technically be Jack’s cousin, but their relationship has always been much closer to that of brothers. He has been part of Jack’s life through every era, adventure and questionable decision, making him the obvious choice to stand beside Jack as his Best Man.
Jen Roy - Bridesmaid
Katie met Jen in 2017, when a season of unexpected life changes placed them in one another’s path. Their friendship was immediate. Over the past decade, Jen has remained beside Katie through every version of life—celebrating the happiest moments, helping her through some of the darkest and always encouraging her to keep moving forward.
Ryan - Hemphill
Jack and Hemphill have been friends since grade school, when they lived near one another and regularly terrorized the neighborhood together. Their friendship began in Mrs. Kitsler’s classroom, where they talked so much that she separated them in an attempt to stop the trouble. It was ineffective. From that point forward, there was no looking back.
Sarah Coulter - Bridesmaid
Sarah is Jack’s cousin on his mom’s side, but the two were raised much more like brother and sister. Sarah lived with Jack during the 2020 pandemic, which ultimately inspired her to move home permanently from New York City. She has been one of the constants in Katie and Jack’s relationship, and Katie could not be more excited to officially gain both a cousin and a bonus sister.
Wesley Cruthers - Groomsman
Wes and Jack have been friends since childhood, when they spent their days riding bikes around Carlisle Avenue and joining Ryan Hemphill in terrorizing the neighborhood. Wes has also been Nikki’s partner for approximately 18 years, making him part of the wider family long before the wedding planning ever began.
Taylor Sizemore - Bridesmaid
Katie met Taylor shortly after hiring Taylor’s husband, Eddie, at Brentwood Golf Course. Before long, Eddie, Taylor and their entire family had become some of Katie’s closest friends—and eventually, chosen family. Taylor has been instrumental throughout the past several years of Katie’s career, helping keep her sane while also helping her accomplish things that once seemed impossible.
Jason Hengartner - Groomsman
Jason has been one of Jack’s best friends since their Cub Scout days, and they have been nearly inseparable ever since. From fishing and concerts to skiing, mayhem and more than a little mischief, Jason has been beside Jack for a lifetime of stories—many of which are probably best left off the wedding website.
Elizabeth Flanigan - Jr. Bridesmaid
Elizabeth is Katie’s ten-year-old niece and the daughter of Katie’s brother Ryan Flanigan. Being Elizabeth’s aunt has always been one of Katie’s favorite titles, especially as she has watched Elizabeth grow into such a beautiful, intelligent and remarkable young lady. Having her stand beside Katie on the wedding day makes the occasion even more meaningful.
Emmy Jones - Flower Girl
Emmy is the two-year-old daughter of Katie’s cousin, Brian Jones, and one of the smallest—but certainly not least important—members of the wedding party. She has been entrusted with flower-petal duties, although final performance remains entirely subject to the mood of a two-year-old.
Michael Flanigan - Ring Bearer
Michael is Katie’s eight-year-old nephew, Elizabeth’s little brother and a very enthusiastic fan of both Aunt Katie and his soon-to-be Uncle Jack. That made him the perfect choice to be placed in charge of some extremely important wedding-day hardware.
Eddie - Kershaw
Eddie is Jack’s cousin, the eldest of the cousins and the first Lugas of their generation to get married. As an ordained officiant with more than 20 years of marriage experience himself, Eddie brings the perfect combination of family history, wisdom and humor to the role. Katie and Jack could not imagine anyone better to lead them into their next chapter as husband and wife.
MEET OUR FAMILY
Long before there were road trips, karaoke duets and Patio Par-Tees, there were the families who raised us, shaped us and taught us what it means to love, work hard and show up for the people who matter.
As we begin our marriage, we are not simply choosing one another—we are bringing together two families that mean the world to us. We are incredibly grateful to have their love, encouragement and support surrounding us as we begin this next chapter.
