Hello, I’m Haddie, the Maid of Honor, and here is a quick look at Katie and I’s friendship! ☺️

Katie and I have been friends since the 6th grade. We as friends have been through so much in our friendship but we never stopped being friends! In high school, while Katie had a really hard evening, I dropped hanging out with other friends and made sure Katie was ok. Some may say we are each other’s voice of reason. I moved away just after freshman year and even with the distance katie and I communicated daily! When I came to town I always stayed with Katie! One particular time was when we went to a party after I had taken my senior pictures(teen drinking is very bad) and after we played around with beer pong we took a picture in a shopping cart that happened to be at this party! It has been one of our many favorite pictures!

When Katie told me about Sean, I knew that Sean would be the one to help and be there for Katie and all her shenanigans! I wish them nothing but the best for their beautiful day!

I'm Channing. I am the best man to Sean and have been his best friend for... an unknown amount of time. We are still in our investigation as to when we met or became friends. So far, the furthest we've gotten is Mr. Cowman's math class back in seventh grade. Will update you when a new discovery is made.

We've done a lot of the dumb things together that you can think about growing up, without alcohol. The most prevalent memory that I can think of is when I had the grand idea to do a bicycle kick on the gym floor at an indoor soccer tournament and broke my collarbone. Another is our famous video, "Who's mans is this?" We shot these videos in high school that definitely went viral. We are both professional goofy goobers and plan to remain that way forever. Sorry, ladies.

It's always a pleasure to be in Sean's life through the dumb moments, and I'm extremely happy to be there during one of his most important.

Hi, My name is Brooke!

I am currently a Law student at UND and have two sweet cats named Obi and Ghost. Katie and I met through mutual friends in the winter of 2022. We have spent many Tuesdays out at Speedway with our friends, evenings out getting supper or studying at Lane and Sean Murphy's apartment.

A fun fact is that I helped Sean propose to Katie!

Hello! My name is Izaak (ai-zuhk) and I was forced to meet Sean in college at football training camp. How you may ask? By being forced to hold his balls. Me being a punter and him being a kicker, it only made sense. Now, when you're in a rather personal relationship like that, you get to know the guy pretty well. So, that's how we lived together for 1.5 years, got two dogs together, and became very close friends, almost attached to each other.

Every time Sean and I are together something magical happens, and sometimes something dumb, but that's all part of the fun. Although, if I could rewind time, I might try a different approach to becoming "friends", maybe then we would have ended up together forever. I'm from California and Sean and I's friendship has grown to this day!

Hi, I’m Allison! I’m currently living in Fargo and working in Moorhead as an Interior Designer. I graduated from NDSU in 2020 with a double major in Interior Design and International Studies. While studying at NDSU, I was given the opportunity to do an Internship abroad in Sydney, Australia, and it’s my dream to make it back there sometime soon! When I’m not doing what I love at work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Bear, my cat, Fran, family, and friends or picking up new hobbies (or at least trying to).

Katie and I met all the way back in 2019 when on one lucky night, we both decided to go to Ladies Night at the Windbreak and ended up in the bathroom at the same time. I’m sure you all know how chatty and friendly women can be in bar bathrooms! After we exchanged Snapchats, we didn’t reach out to each other for about six months when we bonded over our love for black cats. After that, the rest is history! I’m so excited to be a part of Sean and Katie’s big day and look forward to a lifetime of friendship with the both of them!

Hi, my name is Jayden Hendricks! I met Sean back in our sophomore year of high school during track practice. I knew from a pretty early point that my relationship

with this man would play out like a mid-2000s comedy movie. The first ever interaction I had with him was us laughing at me falling off of a plyo-box in track and field practice. He says he doesn't remember it that way, but it happened.

If you were to tell me on that first day when he laughed at me for scraping my shins on the exercise equipment that I was going to be in that guy's wedding as a groomsman, I would

have said you were completely full of shit. I can say now confidently that it all played out exactly how a friendship should. I wish everyone could experience what we did, but then again people aren't as big of idiots as we are so maybe I'm completely wrong in thinking that way.

I wish nothing but the best for Sean and Katie as they continue the crazy journey of life together, and for a long prosperous life full of good fortune and happy accidents!

Hi, My name is Brooke and I met both Katie and Sean through my boyfriend, Channing. Katie and I actually went to NDSU together briefly before she graduated. We both majored in Emergency Management and share a lot of our time talking about EM.

A story that Katie shared with everyone pretty early on and I think still takes credit for ;) is that when Channing had mentioned that he and I were going on dates and that I was an EM major at NDSU Katie stood up looked right at him and told him that he was done. I was the one and we were destined to be. I think she has been spot-on so far! We recently relocated to Texas this year and entered our first big kid jobs. It has been a joy being by Katie & Sean's side through their relationship!

Hi, my name is Koby!

I graduated from NDSU last year with a bachelor's degree in biology and am currently starting my career studying wildlife.

Sean and I have known each other since early high school, not sure when exactly, but when we first began hanging out we instantly became good friends and have been ever since. I have a lot of fond memories with him, such as creating beautiful video projects where one included me knocking him over in our football gear and in the same video pretending to be anchormen. Then of course all of the random shenanigans with him, Channing, and Jayden around Fargo or at his parent's house (sorry Dave & Amy).

Jokes aside, Sean is one of the hardest working people that I know and I am glad to call him one of my best friends. I am so happy to have gotten to know Katie as I see her as a friend as well, and I can't wait to see their relationship flourish!

Hi, my name is Lexi!

I’m currently a graduate student at NDSU. I’m getting my master’s degree in biological sciences with my project focusing on neuroendocrinology.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sean and Katie back in 2021 when Koby and I started dating. I remember being so happy to become part of the friend group- they were so welcoming and I always have so much fun when we see them! I remember feeling grateful that me and Katie had so much in common and there was always someone I could talk to who could relate! I’m so happy for the two of them and can’t wait to see what their future holds!

Hello everyone, I'm Vince! I was Sean's college football teammate at the University of Jamestown and now a lifelong friend. Even though we were in football together, we became close friends in actual school, if you can believe that! We both started in the Mechanical Engineering program, but I ultimately switched majors to Computer Science. Sean helped me through Physics, in which the professor sucked and we both hated having to write those damn lab reports.

Football was a great time for us, memories were made, just maybe not during games. Just don't look at the team's record for the two years Sean was there. The best memories made were during finals week when we would finish studying by getting a pizza from Casey's, chilling out, and watching a movie/comedy special.

I'm glad to be celebrating Sean and Katie on their special day, and I hope they have many fun adventures together!

Hi, I’m Claire, I met Sean when I was born. I am Sean’s younger sister and long-time friend. My dog Bean is also Winston’s younger brother and long-time friend. My favorite memory is playing Skylanders with Sean. Excited to have Katie as my sister soon, yippeeeee!

We met Lane and Sean through a mutual friend in the winter of 2022. Over the last two years, we have spent countless hours hanging out at Lane and Sean's apartment, at Tea Tuesdays at Speedway, game nights at Katie & Sean's, and more. We have had late-night adventures and traveled a bit together as well.

Recently, Sean and Lane both graduated from college at UND (Winter 2024!) and are planning to move back home to (Lane) California and (Sean) Washington.

We are grateful for their friendship and so excited to have them apart of our day!
