Younger sister to the bride, Emily is the one you’ll hear laughing before you see her. Outgoing, quick-witted, and full of heart, she’s always been Emily-Kate’s biggest cheerleader, occasional partner-in-crime, and built-in best friend. Whether she’s making everyone laugh or hyping up the bride, Emily brings the energy everywhere she goes.

Holly is Kate’s first cousin and the rockstar nurse of the family—equal parts brilliant and hilarious. She’s Kate’s first call for any medical mystery or when a post-party IV is desperately needed. If you find yourself a little too hungover after the wedding, Holly’s your girl (and she’ll probably make you laugh while fixing you up).

From sharing a bed to now sharing brothers— future sister-in-law, Mary Gen, is the favorite McCafferty child (aside of from the dogs). She is the biggest Taylor Swift fan you will ever meet (seriously- quiz her)! Don’t let her quietness fool you, she can drink Kate under the table every time.

Olivia tied the knot with Connor’s brother Keegan this past August — be sure to send her your congratulations! If she weren’t standing by Kate as a bridesmaid, she’d probably be behind the DJ booth, since she’s got the best aux skills in town.

Dating all the way back to 3rd grade, Sophia has been one of Kate’s dearest and longest-standing best friends. She’s got a million embarrassing stories — so maybe don’t ask, unless you’re ready to laugh (or blackmail Kate). She’s also recently engaged, so be sure to wish her a big congratulations!

From the moment Kate and Keara met at Concord High, they were inseparable — practically living at each other’s houses. Their bond has stood the test of time (and distance), even with Keara now all the way out in California. Be sure to find her at the wedding and help us convince her to move back East!

Kate and Peyton go way back as childhood tennis pals. Through every win, loss, and meltdown, Peyton has always been the one to put a smile on Kate’s face. Fun fact: she once beat Coco Gauff (yes, really!) and recently tied the knot herself — so be sure to send her some belated congratulations!

This field hockey star was Kate’s roommate at App State, where she quickly learned that Kate wasn’t exactly the tidiest. Despite the mess, their friendship stuck — probably because Meghan was always there to finish the shots Kate only managed to take half of.

When Kate arrived at the College of Charleston, she and Lizzie were instant soulmates — it was friendship at first sight. No one makes Kate laugh harder, and their collection of inside jokes is truly endless. In fact, Kate’s dad might just love Lizzie’s boyfriend even more than he loves Connor.

Belle and Kate became friends during their Wells Fargo days. Since then, they’ve talked all day, every day — proving that work friendships can turn into lifelong ones. Whether it's minor inconveniences or major drama, they’ve become expert listeners to each other's daily rants and dilemmas.

Kyle is Connor’s youngest brother and his roommate of 13 years, thanks to a shared childhood bedroom. True to younger sibling tradition, Kyle made it his mission to beat Connor at everything—especially golf, which remains an uphill battle. If you run into him, just know he’s probably already sizing up a way to compete in whatever you’re doing.

Keegan is Connor’s brother, and together they’ve been causing trouble since day one. As the unofficial head of IT in Connor’s life, Keegan is the go-to for anything tech-related. He recently married the wonderful Olivia—so be sure to send them a big congratulations!

Connor and Luke met at Miami and bonded over their love of golf—Luke even posed as a club golf teammate for free rounds while skipping class. After college, they spent a few Thanksgivings with each other’s families where Connor’s grandma would mistake Luke as a McCafferty sibling.

Christian and Connor played high school golf together and have been friends ever since, always staying in touch regardless of where life took them—even during the two years Christian lived in Buenos Aires. Over the years, they’ve shared great times in Naples, Florida, where Christian’s grandparents lived. If you see Christian & need travel recs, he has been all over the world!

Connor and David met in grade school and have been close friends ever since. They both attended St. Ignatius High School, and although they went to different colleges, they regularly visited each other during those years. Despite living in different cities now—Connor in Charlotte and David in Cleveland—they still make time to catch up, especially over a round of golf.

Clay and Connor met during their first week in Morris Hall at Miami University and have been friends ever since. Clay’s only flaw? He’s a die-hard Steelers fan, which was hard for Connor to overlook. Clay always makes a point to stop in Charlotte and visit Connor and Kate on his way to Jekyll Island. Clay and Connor share a love for fishing & live music, having seen over ten Dave Matthews Band shows together.

Connor and Ryan met freshman year at Miami and have been partners in mischief ever since. Connor was at Ryan’s first Dave Matthews concert & Ryan has been hooked since. Despite moves to Denver and now D.C., they’ve stayed close through ski trips and wine tastings with Kate and Erin (Ryan’s wife). Just ask Ryan to sing—his voice is unreal.

Connor and Dylan met at Miami and roomed together for two years. They’ve kept their bond strong through ski trips, weddings, NHL games, and Naples holiday hangouts—where both families spend winters. Connor still talks with Dylan almost daily and considers the Quenneville home a true “home away from home.”
