Ben & Elaine
Wedding Party
Rachel Marino
Matron of Honor
Rachel is my sister and one of my very best friends. She helped me develop into the woman I am today through her example and diligence as an older sister (though some of her lessons took a while to stick!) She has been with me through some of the hardest and some of the happiest parts of my life and I couldn't think of a better woman to stand at my side on the best day of my life!
Staci Duhon
Bridesmaid
We met in high school but didn't really get to know each other until we reconnected in college. Staci is the most empathetic person I know. She works hard to make sure she is always growing in her career, relationships and self-esteem. She drives me to be a better version of myself and is always there to celebrate my successes and pushes me to pick myself up when I am having conflicts and complications.
Maddie Marino
Bridesmaid
I met Maddie through my sister about six years ago at her own wedding. Maddie is such a creative person and is very open and accepting of everyone. I chose to have her in my wedding because she is now a part of my family and she has the most creative spirit I have ever seen. I can't wait to see what unique ideas she brings to the table for this weekend!
Melissa Hanson
Bridesmaid
We met at Camp Bow Wow and quickly became friends because of our mutual love of dogs and annoyance of other people. Melissa has always made me laugh and helped me vent when I was going through hard times. My favorite thing about her is that she is outspoken and tells you upfront how she is feeling and what she needs as a friend. She has always been one of the biggest proponents of my relationship with Ben and I couldn't thank her enough for all of her love and support.
Doris Caravella
Bridesmaid
We met our sophomore year at LSU through old friends. Doris is one of the most creative and independent women I have ever met. She also fiercely protects her friends and always makes sure everyone is included. I had the pleasure of watching her marry the love of her life last year and I am so excited for her to do the same with me and mine!
John Arnold
Best Man
Speed demon. This man loves fast cars and adrenaline. Johnny "Wild Ride" comes by it honest. Don't let him in the driver's seat unless you're ready for the ride of your life.
Brian Lejeune
Groomsman
Pure athlete. He can do anything he sets his mind to, but is most happy when cycling further than most people are willing to drive. Don't challenge him to anything unless you're prepared to lose.
Ian Guillory
Groomsman
Smart guy. Ian's known Ben since the 2nd grade. He has the biggest brain of anyone you'll ever meet, but hes working on getting it down to average one small piece at a time.
Thomas Scarlato
Groomsman
The traveler. He's been everywhere you want to go, and probably has a story about it that puts your best to shame. Sit back and have a few words with him.
Sparky Garrett
Groomsman
The Sparkster. Never heard of him.
