Lauren & Coulton
Wedding Party
Christina Pellegrini
Maid of Honor
Not my twin, but my incredibly loyal and adventurous older sistah-sistah. We became closer than ever when we were roommates for a couple years when I first moved to SoCal. Lots of wild and fun times shared and we have been through quite a lot - surviving a monkey attack in Costa Rica to name just one! At the resort, you might find Tina at the morning yoga sessions and spin classes before spending the day laying poolside.
Matt Szymkowski
Best Man
Best friend, Los Angeles adventure buddy, Kansas Alumni, Kansas City Chiefs & Chicago bulls fanatic, Host to the endless party spot (the compound) and always up for a good time!
Liandra Pellegrini
Maid of Honor
My outgoing and quirky {not so} little sistah-sistah. Exactly one year younger than me, we have been inseparable my entire life! Whether we were on the court together playing high school sports, at the same party in college, or living on opposite sides of the country, she has always been, and will always be my partner in crime! At the resort, you might find Lee dancing at the pool with a drink in hand, or playing some volleyball -- after dusting off her skills, that is!
Mark Lumerman
Groomsman
Oldest friend from high school, biggest Cardinals baseball fan, talented architect and interior designer (www.markadamstudio.com), many nights spent in the Brooks basement playing / losing to me in pool and running around C-Town.
Keely Brooks
Bridesmaid
My future sister-in-law, Coulton's favorite and only sister. First met when she was living in the San Diego area; currently lives in Denver. She is quite the planner and is always down for anything. My favorite memory with Keely was when we were at a local bar in Belize - she took over as bartender! At the resort, you might find Keely at the swim-up bar ordering her go to beverage, Miami Vice, or most likely a round of shots for everyone.
Austin Brooks
Groomsman
My favorite brother and excellent father to my nephew. Although he is younger, he has been a great role model and the example of hard work as he balanced a kid, job, and school at the same time. Growing up he was the best N-64 co-pilot and always there (literally since we shared the same room). I am lucky that we no longer share the room, but he is just down the road.
Gina Pellegrini
Mother of the Bride
One of the toughest cookies I know, my Mom. You have been a role model for me throughout the years and have shown me courage, resilience, and strength. Thank you for being such a loving and caring mother and shaping me into the lady that I am today. I hope to someday be half the mother that you are to us! You can find my Mom lounging under an umbrella with a smile on her face during the day and relaxing by the fire pits at night.
Kathryn Colwell
Mother of the Groom
My mom is the most caring individual I have ever met. She has always been there for me and continually goes out of her way to be the very best mom. She was always there rooting me at every baseball game (and there were a lot). She is a great cook and I think I have made every single recipe she has sent me. My favorite being the cheesecake, but I leave that for her to do when she comes and visits.
Jim Pellegrini
Father of the Bride
An easygoing, kind, and selfless man, my Dad always puts the needs of others before himself and is there when his family needs him most. Growing up in a houseful of women, you have taught me patience. Thank you for always encouraging me, instilling confidence in me, and supporting me in everything I do. You can find my Dad at the Jerk Hut ordering some yummy jerk chicken sipping on a refreshing Appleton Rum cocktail.
Jeff Brooks
Father of the Groom
My Dad is a great guy (trying not to inflate his ego too much) and has been a great friend. He is someone I look up to and continue to strive to be like. He loves the cardinals, scotch, and cigars...need I say more?
Brody
Best Dood
A good boy! Lover of belly rubs and playing fetch. Unfortunately cannot be in attendance.
