The Wedding Party

The Matron of Honor

Kelly Robbins

Kate feels like the luckiest person on Earth to have known Kelly since the very first day she opened her eyes. Kelly is Kate’s older sister, best friend, and most trusted confidant... Which is not something most sisters are able to say. She also strongly believes herself to be Kate’s supreme protector from all that is bad and evil in the world, but Kate has grown to adore having her own personal bodyguard around. Plus, Kelly is one of Kate’s biggest inspirations, cheerleaders, and all around favorite people. Kate would not be the woman she is today without Kelly, and she can’t wait to have her right there when she recites her vows.

The Best Man

Jeremiah Grisham

Dustin and Grish met many moons ago... While Grisham was at his first duty station, McGuire AFB, he was tasked to take the new, young, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed airman on a base tour. That day, the two formed a friendship that has lasted numerous duty stations and countless deployments throughout the years. Grisham is easily Dustin’s most valued confidant, but that certainly comes at a price with Grisham’s honed wit, always ready to strike. Don’t say you weren’t warned!

Bridesmaids

Sun Coles

It’s completely fair to say that this wedding is all Sun’s fault! While these two ladies knew each other growing up, they were mere acquaintances until Sun decided to introduce Kate to Dustin. Sun is now one of the couple’s closest friends, and they are beyond thrilled to have her in their wedding.

Alexandra Brzyski

Kate met Alex a few years ago on a double date. After a brief hiatus, and a couple breakups, they met up again sans guys. The friendship that formed between Kate and Alex was the best thing to ever come from any breakup! Alex has since moved to CA, but that hasn’t stopped these two from being long-distance biffies.

Lauren Carr

Lauren is one of Kate’s sister’s closest college friends. So when Lauren moved to Philly years ago, she naturally became the third musketeer for Kate and Kelly’s Philly shenanigans. Since then, Lauren has become one of Kate’s closest friends and favorite travel partners!

Kimberly Rotter

Kimberly & Kate met through mutual friends over 10 years ago, and have been by each others’ sides ever since. They spent much of their early 20s exploring Philly’s nightlife together and becoming the closest of friends. Kate feels incredibly fortunate to have Kimberly in her life and by her side in March.

Groomsmen

Matt Hill

Dustin became undying friends with Matt at a picnic table outside a gas station/hotel/casino/fried chicken restaurant in Indian Springs, NV. The two have been thick as thieves ever since. While the miles between them are grand, when these two get together watch out and just enjoy the show! However, each insipid style antic can usually neutralize threats.

Joshua Heines

Dustin and Josh met 35 long years ago when Josh was blessed with having the greatest person known to man bestowed upon his as a younger sibling. Josh, too young to understand the greatness before him, mercilessly beat him for years, until a newer younger model came into the family. But as it is, Dustin still wouldn’t trade him or his two awesome sons for the world.

Cameron Heines

When he met Cameron for the first time, Dustin just had to put on his brand new pajamas when his little brother came into the world so he could show off his fancy new threads. Cam, seemingly unappreciative and crying over the matter, also endured years of merciless beatings... as so the food chain of brotherhood goes. The beatings obviously worked, because Cam turned out to be a great brother and father to his two sons.

Zach Burnash

Dustin and Zach were stationed together at Jew’s second time through McGuire. Together Dustin and Zach help each other plan, coordinate, sponsor, and advertise their annual fundraiser event, The East Coast EOD Holiday Party, where coincidentally Jew and Kate got engaged…

Which Zach also helped coordinate.

Adam Usher

Dustin and Adam are also stationed together (there’s a theme here). Adam may be the only guy Dustin will talk to on the phone longer than 30 seconds. The two will bitch, rant, and complain about everything until they feel fully vindicated. Adam, who complains about everything, jumped at the chance to be a groomsmen, and has not complained once… yet!
