Lauren & Kelly
Wedding Party
Erika Lachance
Maid of Honor
We met while waitressing in D.C. in 2009 (?) over our love for food, my terrible waitressing skills, and her love for having her hair braided by me each weekend. She is the rock that grounds me, and I know she will be the person who keeps me calm when I wind myself up.
Daniel Graden
Best Man
We always had mutual friends in High School but after he came back from Central Washington Uni., we became roommates who turned into best friends. If we aren't flying drones together we are chatting on the phone with each other. Daniel recently married an amazing woman, Michelle, and we love to talk about the family trips and memories we will share as our families grow. I am so lucky to have a high school friend turn into my Best Man.
Kailey Roeder
Bridesmaid
My little brother said to me 'You have to meet Kailey, you're like the same person.' Plot twist: HE WAS RIGHT. From our days at UNH to watching her become a Mom, I couldn't ask for a better friend to stand by my side.
Charlie Hepburn
Officiant
From Lauren...He isn't just my brother but my best friend. We often joke 'how are we so close? yet, we have nothing in common!' It is because we both spent years supporting each other or fighting with each other over who got the front seat. Having Charlie be the man to marry Kelly and I means the world to us.
Jessica Kingsley
Bridesmaid
Half-sister is a weird title, because she isn't half anything. It wasn't until I became an adult that our relationship changed from sisters to friends. She is the kindest, warmest human you may ever meet. My family means the world to me, and this day wouldn't be complete without her standing by me.
David Graden
Groomsman
Friends since High School, David and I spent lots of time forming our friendship. David has always been the friend I could count on. David is Daniel's younger brother and we share a lot of memories of playing basketball in their backyard and many hours playing Super Smash Brothers. He will always be one of my favorite people.
Liesl Hepburn
Bridesmaid
Also, a sister. Or if we are being legit, my sister-in-law. I may have asked her solely based on the dance moves I know she will show off. Seriously, I couldn't have asked for a better SIL. I could go on, but at the end of the day, my brother made the best choice and I get to reap the benefits of having Liesl in my life.
John 'JJ' Hubbard
Groomsman
I met JJ through Daniel & David back in High School and since then JJ and I have bonded over cars and fixing things. I really enjoy helping him on all kinds of projects. He is one of those people in life that you or I can truly count on. He has always been there for me and I hope to return the favor for years to come.
Sarah 'Seds' Dutile
Bridesmaid
We may have met in the Fall of 2006 as she rushed Alpha Xi Delta, but it wasn't until 2016 that we would both find ourselves in Washington, living only minutes from each other. It was like no time had passed, but yet we had so much to share. I am so lucky to have had her here (serendipity again!) but, having her stand by me means the world to me.
Dillion Day
Groomsman
Dillion is my first and oldest friend. He is the one person that I have known my entire life. Since I moved around through the years, he was the one constant that I knew I would see each summer, or when we returned to Washington. We have been best friends since he was born, and have shared many fun adventures. I am thrilled to have him stand by my side.
Cristan Freeman
Bridesmaid
Kelly's sister and my future sister-in-law. Kelly is amazing and all, but his family is everything. I am so lucky to add another sister to the bunch.
Chris Winslow
Groomsman
Chris and I met about the same time I met the Graden's and JJ. Chris and I have always shared a love for games and cars. I have had a pretty solid crew since High School that have remained friends for a long time, I am lucky to have these solid friendships.
Moira 'Mo' McDonald
Bridesmaid
My work wife. I think that says it all. She helps me pick up the pieces when I have fallen apart over work stress and who is always a YES when mimosas are involved. I can't believe I work with someone that has become such a close friend. Teacher friends, always become family.
Owen Kingsley
Ring Bearer
This kid doesn't make friends on the dance floor, he makes history. Be sure to ask him who his favorite basketball player is!
Eliza Kingsley
Flower Girl
This girl is as #EXTRA as you can get. She is my soulmate and isn't she the cutest?!
