Wedding Party
Colin
Best Man
Colin and Josh go all the way back to when they were in the Cub Scouts at Ilako Elementary School at the ages of 12.
Natalie
Maid of Honor
Natalie is Lauren's best friend from the University of Cincinnati. They bonded over small towns, Garth Brooks, and countless other things. Their friendship survived a college house with five other girls, and is still going strong despite the distance.
Brendan
Groomsman
Brendan and Josh started as as online friends back in 2014. Now they are both in the Air Force but have never actually met each other in person. You'd never guess it by the way to talk to each other on the phone every day (sometimes more than Josh and Lauren get to talk).
Gracie
Bridesmaid
Gracie was Lauren's first friend when she moved to Fredericktown, OH in third grade. They showed animals together at the Knox Co. Fair, cheered the Freddies on at all the sporting events, and worked at Amato's together when it opened in 2017. These two go way back to when the dog filter on Snapchat was the next best thing.
Nick
Groomsman
Nick is Josh's brother-in-law (married to Emily), and the father of Josh's favorite niece. He is also the original owner of Josh and Lauren's golden retriever, Chloe, who will be making an appearance as the wedding’s official mascot. Don't get these two start on the topics of guns, the gym, or Star Wars.
Emily
Bridesmaid
Emily is Josh's older sister, but she and Lauren are very close. They are the "planners" of the family and always love solving problems faster than the rest of the Morisawa's. They aren't competitive at all...
Haley
Groomswoman
Haley and Josh met Freshman year at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in ROTC. During their time as their Detachment's Wing Commander and Vice Wing Commander, people would describe their relationship as Good-Cop Bad-Cop. Haley is the truest form of friendship Josh has, and has been by his side through thick and thin. She was also their official ordain for the "backyard elopement"!
Anna
Bridesmaid
Anna is Josh's younger sister, and Lauren's personal photographer. Anna studied Documentary Production in LA, and was the official photographer for Josh and Lauren's "backyard elopement". She is always the number one hype man in any crowd, and can make anyone feel special!
Kennedy
Flower Girl
Kennedy is the daughter of Nick and Emily, and is Josh and Lauren's flower girl. She is the life of the party and can make any one smile while only being three years old!
Chloe
Mascot
Chloe, our golden retriever, will be part of our celebration! She is not afraid to make friends out of strangers and is looking forward to all of the love and attention.
