Matron of Honor
Beth and Lisa have been best friends since 1988! We were on the start-up team at University Behavioral Center in Orlando. We've been roommates, cruisemates, and Beth helped Lisa with her weddings. We were featured on the front page of the Lakeland Ledger for their pre-dawn Royal Wedding Watch Party when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated their wedding. It's now, FINALLY, Lisa's turn to be in Beth's wedding!
