Clarissa & Michael
Wedding Party
Megan Lacina
Matron of Honor
As sisters, Megan and Clarissa have had their fair share of adventures and mischief, from choreographing skating routines to Madonna songs, to almost setting the house on fire...twice. Through it all, they’ve been there for each other at a moment’s notice. So naturally Megan will be right by Clarissa’s side for the “I do.”
Grant Mellor
Best Man
Grant and Mike are gamers through and through. Although they’ve spent countless hours gaming, some of their most memorable moments would have to be their spontaneous trips to Las Vegas. Over the years Grant has become a great friend to Mike and both of them know they’ll always have each other’s backs whether they’re gaming online or in the real world.
Laura Ketchersid
Bridesmaid
Laura and the Clarissa met as coworkers on their first job right out of college. They had so many after-work sleepovers, they decided to just move in together. And they lived happily ever after...or for two years, anyway, until Laura had to go and get hitched (It’s okay though, Kyle’s cool). Although Laura and the bride are no longer roommates, their friendship has lived on, even through Laura’s move to Phoenix and the birth of her baby Wyatt. Here’s to many more adventures!
Chad Liesman
Groomsman
Chad & Mike were “band nerds” together since 6th grade. They both played the saxophone, so they could be smooth like KennyG...duh. They became best friends early on and still are to this day. Although neither of them went on to be professional sax players, they still like to think they’re pretty smooth.
Amber McClintic
Bridesmaid
When Clarissa walked into her first class at Stephen F. Austin State University, she decided to take a spot next to the girl sitting alone in the front row. Little did she know, she was sitting next to SFA royalty (Amber was Student Body President) and her soon-to-be friend for life. Amber and Clarissa have been there for each other through the highs and lows, from awkward young adulthood to “the kids are calling our favorite bands ‘old school.’”
Marty McCarthy
Groomsman
Despite forcing Mike to eat a steady diet of chicken and rice his entire life (ensuring Mike’s eternal aversion to chicken), Mike’s father Marty has always been there for Mike without hesitation. Mike would say that there is no better friend than his dad has been for him over the years, and Mike knows that he can always count on Marty through thick and thin.
Emily McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Emily has treated Clarissa like a dear friend since Michael introduced them. Clarissa is so thankful for all the love Emily has given Mike through the years and is so happy to be gaining another sister when she marries Mike!
Ryan McCarthy
Groomsman
Ryan is Mike’s younger brother. Ryan would tell you that even though they’ve had their fair share of differences growing up (like always being the one that got picked on) they still managed to bond and grow as brothers, always being there for one another, even in the toughest situations.
