Maid of Honor
Lauren and Katt's friendship began unexpectedly at Bloomsburg Olive Garden in 2017. Despite an initial misunderstanding that nearly escalated, their bond flourished into a profound friendship founded on respect and admiration. Since then, their shared experiences have been filled with cherished memories—from late nights filled with laughter to quiet moments spent together preparing for the day ahead, spending time together has always been a breath of fresh air.
Best Man
Mark has stuck by Blake's side since Middle School back in Mason, Ohio. Despite a rock climbing incident that had Mark suspended 40 feet off the ground without a belay, he continued to have trust in the Groom while their friendship growed. Mark's work ethic and devotion to his friends have always been features worth looking up to. Since Mark is built like a brickhouse, Blake couldn't imagine having anyone better to lean on for the big day.
Bridesmaid
Becca has been a huge part of making Lauren feel like part of the family from day one. From ski trips to Perfect North, to family vacations is Banff... Becca knows how to have a good time! The planner of the family, the organizer, and the laugh at every family gathering. We are so thankful for the way she puts family first, no matter how busy her schedule gets.
Groomsman
Quite literally with Blake since the beginning, his brother Collin has always been there to support Blake. Despite getting caught behind the busses at Mason High School because Blake was too slow (for those who don't know, this added at least 30 min to getting home from school), Collin would be willing to wait with (little to) no complaining. Collin took the skills he learned in Occupational Therapy to start teaching the next round of Doctors.
Bridesmaid
Mrs. Wonder Woman herself and Lauren's sister-in-law. Amber gives a lot... In her job, to her family, and her church community. She's the first to give a speech at a funeral when the rest of us are too choked up to speak, and the last to sit down after a holiday meal. She's a fantastic mother to Lauren's niece and nephew, who are also helping our during the ceremony as the flower girl & ring bearer!
Groomsman
Jonathan and Blake hit it off early and despite the distance between them, conversations can always pick up right where they left off. From working at the school newspaper together, doing a Dueling Column or taking pictures of basketball finals they always enjoyed working side by side. A mirrored sense of humor and work ethic have always kept them sharp together, so who better to keep Blake in focused on his big day?
Bridesmaid
Coralis truly lives up to her namesake—strong, radiant, and beautiful. Even on her worst days, she has an innate ability to brighten any room she enters. The two also met back at the Bloomsburg Olive Garden, where they would often chat about boys, the latest drama, or even drafting makeshift 'wills' on receipt paper to sign over Lauren’s purse collection.
Groomsman
Despite Max's Fauxhawk (it was unfortunately kind of cool at the time) the pair quickly formed a friendship that was extended over Battlefield 3 all-nighters, Airsoft Matches and Poker Games (which Blake never won, but enjoyed nonetheless). While he may struggle to show it, Max has always cared greatly for his friends and has been consistently been there to offer help or some idle chatter.
Officiant
With a friendship sealed in the patent-pending "Rack-Tatable", a clothes organization solution that the pair invented for a Middle School Science Project (with a jingle, by the way), the pair continued to get into fun and trouble for years to come. With a laugh that could defrost anyone and some of the coldest takes imaginable across a wide variety of subjects, Joey never fails to entertain. Bonding with both Blake and Lauren over a variety of video games and hobbies, beyond family members no one else has been able to watch the couple grow into a pair ready to commit their lives together.
