Laura & Tyler
Wedding Party
Lauren Toner
Matron of Honor
Golly, if you were at Lauren's wedding in January of this year then you witnessed Laura's two page (no joke) speech about how wonderful Lauren is. But, here's a quick bit: Lauren and Laura have been attached at the hip since 5th grade and never separated. Through elementary, middle, high school, college and now adulting Laura has been BLESSED with this woman's friendship. Her family is Laura's family. And the Cooks call her their "favorite daughter". She (and her hubby, Seamus) also make sure Laura stays fed in nursing school. oh, and she makes some wicked good chicken.
Erika Richard
Bridesmaid
Erika and Laura have been BFF's since college. They bonded over food, endless conversations in cars, and the only time in Laura's life that she was extroverted. Laura has been blessed to be able to travel many places with Erika, helping her move a total of at least three times. Laura loves her to the moon and back. She has become one of the family. She also has some sick moves. Watch out on that dance floor. Erika loves Jesus, people and winning. She will probably challenge Tyler to a competition before the night is over. She will lose.
Daniela Vintimilla
Bridesmaid
Daniela is the lady to go to if you ever need any creative help. She is also there if you ever need ANYTHING. Helper at heart and dear friend. Dani is Laura's #1 coffee date (not only cause she's great company but also due to the fact that she makes a great cup of coffee). She also has the best handwriting. Oh, also very competitive during a game of charades...like everyone else on this list apparently. I am seeing a trend. Tyler + my friends + game night = a freaking loud room. Dani and Laura bond over Laura's fake coffee (IYKYK), crafts, doing things for others, and shopping trips.
Isabella Treese
Bridesmaid
Isabella is Tyler's older (and wiser) sister. After only having brothers, Laura is excited to have someone to commiserate with when all the boys (mostly Tyler) and the profession of nursing are getting too ridiculous. She is a dedicated worker, able to give a helping hand and laugh when you need it. She has Tyler's competitiveness, especially when it comes to the Treese family playing UNO. Unlike Tyler, she is a complete babe and has a sense of style he could only dream of. Isabella and Laura bond over nursing school, the amazing qualities of Disney world, how odd Tyler is and baking.
Nicole Muñoz
Bridesmaid
Nicole is the socialite of the friend group. She is the glue that keeps us all hanging out. The extroverted ER nurse extraordinaire. She is a living superhero, a walking saint, and golly can this woman eat (something her and Laura share). She is also heckka competitive. So watch out if her, Tyler and Erika play a game together. It'll be loud. Fun. But loud. Laura and Nicole bond over laying on the ground, never-ending conversations, and all the food.
Johnna Barnaby
Bridesmaid
Johnna will always be down for a glass of wine and good cheesy movie. Easy going but somehow freaky competitive at charades. She is always there to help Laura add up a her tip at the end of the night: 1. Because Laura can't do simple math and 2. Johnna has her PHD in biomathematics (sorry Johnna, I had to add that in, I'm just too proud). Laura and Johnna bond over similar taste in movies, books and introvertedness. #letstakeashot
Philip Frentsos
Best Man
Philip is Tyler's best friend (basically brother) and is always searching for his wallet. He loves pancakes and he loves watching the Cavs fight for a good draft pick.
Gene Ross
Groomsman
Gene is Tyler's best friend from college, and spent every day of it together. Yes, Gene has wanted to kill Tyler several times. Gene also has plenty of million dollar ideas.
David Cook
Groomsman
David is Laura's oldest brother, and who Tyler always loves getting hugs from. He is the brother he is most excited to become related to.
Robby Cook
Groomsman
Robby is Laura's younger brother, and consistently refers to Tyler as "the flavor of the month to Laura", which is no longer true. He is also an average American citizen.
Seamus Toner
Groomsman
No one has more fun together than when Seamus and Tyler watch sports or watch sneaker videos. Seamus is one of Tyler's best friends since moving to Tallahassee, and feel free to ask him about Mother's Day in 2015. Or about his love for the Green Bay Packers.
Danny Dominguez
Groomsman
Danny was the first friend Tyler made in Tallahassee, and from there the rest is history. Danny loves supporting cheating baseball teams, owning candles, and eating Peanut Butter and Jelly with Goldfish.
