Wedding Party
Kacey Ogden
Matron of Honor
Kacey was Laura's random roommate sophomore year, in good ol' Betty Johnson Hall at Louisville. Opposites in most ways, it took a few weeks of walking to the 8am anatomy class and bonding on Kacey's NASCAR poptarts. Kacey just got married in September and moved to Indiana.
Dana Gahafer
Bridesmaid
Well Dana is the reason I almost dropped Pi Phi after one new member meeting but by the end of that year my superlative from the seniors was "Most Likely to Build a Shrine to Dana," clearly all of our issues were worked out. Dana currently my landlord, but is also the school sponsor for the 4th/5th grade basketball team I coach.
Emily Vogt
Bridesmaid
Emily is Jared's sister, and has quickly become a big help in planning the wedding. Emily and her husband Corey are also additional role models for Jared and Laura, in how to have a strong marriage.
Kelsey Brookshire
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Laura met while working our first real jobs although the job wasn't really cut out for us it definitely gave us all friends and stories to last a lifetime. Kelsey and Laura go to Pure Barre regularly, but Laura can also generally count on her to be up for an adventure and try out new places
Mary Buckman
Bridesmaid
Mary is an old friend but we were pretty much destined to be friends after being only 10 days apart, in middle school our choir teacher (yes, I was in choir) couldn't tell us apart even after 3 years, although we never thought we looked anything alike.
Trudi Johnson
Bridesmaid
Trudi and Laura were in the same pledge class in Pi Phi, but didn't become close friends until junior/senior year. Trudi just had the cutest little guy Reid, that Laura is so excited to help spoil.
Whitney Sturgeon
Bridesmaid
Whitney and Laura have been friends since elementary school, but have never actually gone to the same school, which is probably a good thing considering the trouble we got into outside of school mainly TP'ing neighborhood houses. Whitney and Laura have love of attending fun concerts with their moms and Bruce.
Madisyn Farmer
Jr. Bridesmaid
Madisyn is Laura's niece and is a big part of her life, she makes frequent trips to Henderson just to see her. According to the Farmer's Madisyn is a spitting image of Laura at her age and even acts a lot like she did.

Ryan and Jared have been "Best Friends since day 2" as they like to say. They met on the bus in kindergarten and never looked back. As life has taken them in different directions over the years whenever they are together its like nothing has changed and they pick up joking around right where they left off.
