Sir Lawrence
Best Man
Lawrence and Richie met in elementary school in 5th grade. They are brothers from another mother. Lawrence's favorite memory with the groom: "Playing ding-dong ditch in middle school.

Josh

Anne
Bridesmaid
Anne and Cassie met through study aboard in Shanghai at NYU and they've traveled across 7 continents together. Anne's favorite memory with the bride: "Our trip to Antarctica (our last continent to reach before 30). Like all our escapades, we drank lots of wine and witnessed stunning landscapes, but this one was extra special because we got to see so many cute penguins up close!"
