Lauren & Jacob
Wedding Party
Jordan Hicks
Maid of Honor
Best friend, work wifey and most importantly partners in crime. Lauren and Jordan met while living in Colorado and instantly became best friends, quite literally hours after meeting. They discovered that they shared a love of EDM and both were crazy enough to get degrees in accounting, and of course loved to complain about work together (there's really no stronger bond than that). Between wine nights, music festivals and sneaking out of work for lunch, there is nothing they aren't up for. They may not get to see eachother everyday or even more than a few times a year but anytime they do it's like no time has passed at all, especially since they Snapchat all day long.
Drew Halley
Best Man
Well he's my brother, so he has to be my best man, right? 7.6/10 Drinking Ability
Katie Glass
Bridesmaid
A little over a decade ago (and just like that we feel old) Katie and Lauren met during RUSH week. After finding out they lived a whopping 15 second walk down the hall from each other the rest was pretty much history. Countless late nights, trips to Rio, coffee runs and too many lunch (or any meal of the day) outings to Wildflower they are still best friends. Lauren had the honor of standing next to Katie in her wedding and now is ecstatic to have Katie with her in her wedding. Katie is also the incredible mother of the Ring Bear, Mr. Brody who is going to outshine all of the Groomsmen in his little tux.
Jace Newman
Groomsman
Jace Wesley Newman, this guy is so Texas he has his own initials on his wallet. 9.4/10 Drinking Ability
Alejandra Cromer
Bridesmaid
"They can't be your best friend if you didn't hate them when you first met" Oh my goodness this couldn't be more true for Alejandra and Lauren. Flash back to ten years ago, Lauren and Alejandra sat next to each other in their Chapter Meetings. Lauren *always* ate a bag of Cheddar Ruffles (the best or worst kind, depending on who you ask) and Alejandra hated how loud she chewed, yes it was a problem. At some point a year or so later they realized they were destined to be soulmates. Over the years they have been in separate cities, states, countries and even continents but that has never changed a thing. If there are any two people that kick butt at long distance relationships, it's these two.
Brad Coyle
Groomsman
I'm not sure I have anything to say about this guy 9.1/10 Drinking Ability
Mandi Pierce
Bridesmaid
Mandi and Lauren met on a random birthday trip to Vegas. Garrett (Mandi's now husband) really wanted Lauren to meet this gorgeous girl he was talking to.. little did he know that he was creating a friendship that would go down in history. If you can think of an adventure, Lauren and Mandi have attempted it. Cruise ships, cabins, falling out of tree houses, planned trips or spontaneous they've done it. Although they've never actually lived in the same city, nothing has stopped their crazy adventures.
Marcus Ignasiak
Groomsman
This guy will brighten up your day with how much he can complain in one sentence. 6.8/10 Drinking Ability
Khalie Barber
Bridesmaid
Introducing: Big Red or Little Red if Mama Bruni is around. Khalie, Jake and Lauren all worked at Snowbowl together. Jake and Khalie became fast friends on the slopes and bonded over park laps and ski tips. The fact that Khalie could also complain about her Jeep and Jake would listen was a huge plus! Neither her or Lauren know exactly when they became friends but they definitely think it was around a campfire. The following summer was filled with creek trips, camping and getting stuck in the mud. There's something about summer fun that brings people into your life that will be there forever, and in this case Khalie is stuck with these too. Khalie and Lauren even let Jake be their third wheel most of the time!
Dylan Cooper
Groomsman
Dylan is cool I guess, not really sure how we became friends 5.3/10 Drinking Ability
Zoe Patania
Bridesmaid
Zoe is absolutely the life of the party. She and Lauren met a few years ago through mutual friends (shout out to Kahlil) and knew they were going to become friends. The first few years they saw each other out and always had a great time, then they became neighbors. What a game changer that was. Girls nights that turned into the whole group showing up and playing Jack Box until 2am, fashion shows that ended with the first outfits they tried on and racing against the clock to get passport applications in on time to go to Mexico. It has been a whirlwind of fun. She is also the mother of the sweetest pup named Jameson and is the queen of charcuterie boards. You’ll catch her on the dance floor all night long.
Parker Zins
Groomsman
This guy almost complains as much as Iggy, but he's cooler 7.9/10 Drinking Ability
Coralie McHale
Bridesmaid
Originally auditioned for the role of flower girl but was upgraded to bridesmaid the second she said she would throw petals wearing a tutu and sparkly gold crocs. Cori & Lauren met while working together at Snowbowl. Cori’s first thought was definitely who’s this chick that keeps coming in & organizing my uniforms?! It gradually turned into hiding in Lauren’s office to get away from guests then going to the bars after work to complain about guests (if you’ve ever worked in any service industry you know exactly what we are talking about) & then blossomed into a shenanigans filled friendship. They may cancel plans, decide pajamas are better than going out and order a lot of pizza but they wouldn’t change it for anything, especially anything that requires socializing with people
Hunter drullinger
Groomsman
I can't leave out Huntie Bear, this dude is the size of a yeti 9.2/10 Drinking Ability
Timothy Gorman
Officiant
Timo and Lauren became best friends in high school (yes, it's true they've put up with each other that long). It may have started off as goofing around at work but over the past 12 years they have had their ups & downs, been roommates, fought like brother & sister, traveled & went to countless festivals. It’s a friendship that will stand the test of time, even when they are old & can’t stand each other. Timothy is his real name, if anyone is wondering 3.2/10 Drinking ability
