Laurel & Gavin
Wedding Party
Elise McMindes
Officiant
Elise is a sister of the bride and a best friend of the couple. When Laurel and Gavin first started dating in early 2020, Elise quickly became the "Third Musketeer" when the pandemic started. During a lot of late nights at home together during quarantine, the three had a lot of fun (and wine!) together. The couple is so honored to have her officiating the wedding.
Mariel McMindes
Maid of Honor
Mariel is the bride’s youngest sister and a best friend of the couple. Mariel met Gavin when he and Laurel took their first couple’s trip to San Francisco and she was their tour guide, Since moving to Chicago with her partner, the friend squad hasn’t been apart! We are so incredibly blessed to have Mariel’s support on our wedding day.
Laoise O'Broin
Sister of the Groom and Wedding Planner
Laoise is Gavin's older sister as well as the couples' wonderful wedding planner. She has been incredibly helpful in keeping everything (and everyone!) on track and organized. She is so appreciated for her support and guidance while the couple take this next big step in their lives.
Marc O’Broin
Best Man
Marc is Gavin’s older brother and best man. While we don’t get to see him as much as we would like due to him living in Colorado, Marc has always been supportive of us and we always enjoy getting the chance to spend time with him whenever we can. We are thrilled to have him join us for our special day!
