Laura & Bryan are getting married!
Wedding Party
Rachel Hendrix
Bridesmaid
Rachie and I grew up together in Arlington and became besties when we both lived in Dallas. Rachel is a one of a kind and to know her is to love her! I’ve been blessed to have her by my side for many years and she will be there for many more! Rachel is super artistic, creative, and always knows where the best party is! If you can't find her at the wedding, she's probably scouting for the after party!
Katie Wade
Bridesmaid
Katie and I met around 10 years ago in Dallas thru mutual friends. She is my #1 partner in crime and there is never a dull moment with us! I will always remember us having a two-person dance party at my apartment the night before I moved to Austin! Katie is a kick-ass mom to her son Hayden and her new fur baby.
Liz Bartelson
Bridesmaid
Liz (AKA Lizard) and I met at work when I first moved to Austin and we have been inseparable ever since! I got a bonus when she met her boyfriend Alex and now we are the 3 amigos! Liz is originally from Wisconsin but now lives in Austin as my roommate. She is a dog mom to Coltie and the step mom to my precious Biggie Smalls.
Kacey Pierson
Bridesmaid
Kacey and I have been friends since the 1st grade, we go way back! I’ve been so lucky to have her by my side for so many years and am so happy she will be by my side on our special day! Kacey currently lives in Mansfield with her awesome husband Dustin and two precious boys, Roman and Kingston. Kacey is an amazing singer so don't be surprised if you find her grabbing the mic at the end of the night!
Jenny Didier
Bridesmaid
Jenny is a soon to be Lockwood and I couldn’t be more excited! Her and my brother are set to marry next year and I’m so happy to call her my sister! Jenny's son Jackson is also my partner in crime and I am so happy he has come into my life! I am sure Jackson will be on the dance floor showing everyone his sweet moves!
Kimberly Culver
Bridesmaid
I met Kim thru Bryan and she was my first Portland girlfriend! Kim met the other bridesmaids on the bachelorette party and it was a match made it heaven! I am so happy to have such an amazing person and friend to welcome me to PDX!
Dimitri Kondos
Groomsman
Dimi (head of bach party operations) have known each other for roughly 30 years. We met on the same soccer field that I met his brother on. Dimi and i were instantly attached by the hip going forward. We did a ton as kids growing up around the neighborhood. From fishing together behind my parents house, playing video games, to having all-night sleep overs.. We stayed very close through those years even though we went to different schools. We both decided to go to Oregon State University in the fall of 1998 and join the same fraternity. Dimi resides in Portland with his wife and two children. He also runs his own insurance agency here in the Portland area, following in the legendary Nick Kondos's footsteps. I honestly have no clue where you'll find Dimi at the wedding, he'll be all over!
Tim Gallucci
Groomsman
Tim and I met in little league during our middle school years. Tim now splits time between Portland and Seattle getting his Chiropractic practice off the ground. Fun fact about Tim and what I will always remember, he idolizes Peter Cetera/Chicago. I can't tell you how many times he's cleared out a karaoke bar by attempting to sing "Hard to Say i'm Sorry" or "Inspiration" by Chicago. He once told me he went to audition up in Seattle for American Idol. Deep down he thinks he was put on this earth to entertain. If we had a karaoke machine at the wedding, that's where you'd find Tim (sorry Tim, we don't). Instead look for Tim doing what he calls "the sprinkler" on the dance floor.
Tyler Fuller
Groomsman
Tyler and I met the summer after my senior year in High School at a fraternity rush house. We hit it off from the get go and have super good friends since then. Tyler started off in college running an ice cream stand here in town at random events and now runs one of the most well known event companies in Portland. And YES I have reaped the benefits of that for the past 15 years (Thanks Tyler)! But in all seriousness, I consider Tyler a great friend that's always been there for me. He's full of energy, conversation and fun which i'm sure will show at the wedding! Tyler resides in the Portland Metropolitan are with his wife.
Erik Fordyce
Groomsman
Erik and I first met when I moved to Boston roughly 7 years ago and our lives have been interconnected ever since. I know I couldn't have done it without him, being that I didn't know anyone in New England when I made the move. I"ll always remember and cherish our little adventures and excursions that we would take on a whim. For example, ending up in Fort Lauderdale within 12 hours on Thursday. Those are some of the memories I hold dear to my heart. Erik is now back in Portland, working in finance and living downtown. Erik at times can definitely be the life of the party. So lookout for him on the dance floor come July 21st!
Anthony Kondos
Groomsman
I have known Anthony since I was very young. I met him and his brother Dimitri on a youth soccer team. Our families became friends through that and our friendship flourished as well. Anthony and I both had a love for baseball. One of the memories i'll never forget was when our winless little league team finally won a game, our coach (his father) took us all to Round Table Pizza to celebrate like we had just won the World Series. Anthony now runs his own insurance agency here in Portland in the same spot his father ran his. He lives here in the Portland Metropolitan area with his wife and two kids. Anthony is quite the Rico Suave on the dance floor so you'll know where to find him.
Chris Lockwood
Groomswoman
I actually met Chris through the bride to be as he's her older brother. We met at a music festival outside of Austin a couple years back. Chris and I hit it off immediately as we both share a love for craft brews and good whiskey. One of the fondest memories I have with Chris is showing him and his fiance around Portland last year. Chris resides in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife and kid, Jackson. I don't peg Chris for a huge dancer (although I may be wrong) so if you don't see him on dance floor, i'm sure he'll be the one with the nicest glass of whiskey in his had. Oh and you can't miss his beard!
