Wedding Party
Claire Gilbert
Maid of Honor
Hi! I’m Claire, Laney’s older sister! I live in Indianapolis and work in marketing as my day job, plus teach hot yoga sculpt on the side. I love to read, travel, discover new coffee shops and cheer on all our Indy sports teams. I am so excited to serve as Laney’s Maid of Honor!
Josiah Curry
Best Man
I'm one of Sam's numerous cousins! I am from and currently live in Lafayette, Indiana, some of my hobbies include disc golf, tennis, reading, and hiking. Sam and I were born only 9 months apart and have basically grown up together. He is like a brother to me in every way, we've had too many great memories and adventures together to list, but one of my favorite is our four month long trip to India, it was an experience that I'll never forget!
Sydney Winther
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Sydney! I live in Fort Wayne, Indiana and work as a registered dietitian. I enjoy going on walks, listening to music and getting coffee with friends. Laney and I were roommates in college, and a few of my favorite memories with her include our late night roomie chats, movie nights, car jam sessions, and studying together at Greyhouse!
Ren Strom
Groomsperson
I have known Sam not for his whole life, but at least for my own since I am his younger sibling. We grew up running through the woods together catching tadpoles and crawdads in the creek, collecting golf balls and other trash from the woods, planning to run away from home just to say we did (we never did), and later in life traveling the world together and being roommates in college. I now live in Chicago with my fiancé Ethan and our cat Louis, and I spend my time reading (mostly nonfiction), drawing, studying Arabic, and rummaging through other people's trash for treasures to repurpose in my own home.
Michenna Livengood
Bridesmaid
Hi friends! I’m so honored to be by Laney’s side on her wedding day. Our origin story began freshman year of high school, but we truly bonded & became forever hooligans junior year. My favorite memories with Laney consist of dancing in parking lots, trying on prom dresses at sleepovers, laughing till we can’t breathe watching YouTube videos, and sharing our hearts’ rawest insights with each other. Although I live in North Carolina these days, Laney’s love never feels far away.
