Wedding Party
CJ
Officiant
If you know anything about CJ, then you know exactly why we asked him to be our officiant. He is the big brother Lauren always wanted and the big brother that Brett has always been thankful for. He is our best problem solver and biggest support system, plus he sends the funniest TikToks. There is no better person who we would want to marry us.
Cole
Best Man
Cole is the best younger brother (and not just because he is our personal, unpaid handyman). He also has the biggest heart and will always have your back. Brett and Lauren are not responsible for whatever Cole says in his Best Man speech.
Emily
Matron of Honor
Historians say Emily's world didn't begin until she got the title of big sister. Even though she didn't start tolerating Lauren until after she went off to college, Lauren's relationship with her sister is invaluable.
Steve
Groomsman
Brett and Steve are only cousins because no one would be able to handle them as brothers. Born only a month apart, the two of them have been inseparable since 1997. Steve is the life of every party. Don't forget to drink a Happy Dad today!
Ashleigh
Bridesmaid
Lauren’s mom once referred to Ashleigh as her “second daughter” despite Lauren actually being her second daughter. Ashleigh is the best person to have in your corner. Lauren not only has a bonus older sister but now has another cousin too (yes, she married one of Brett’s cousins).
Brad
Groomsman
Brad and Brett have been friends since 1st grade. Brad has always been known as the mysterious one in the friend group. Those who know him know he is a fun-loving guy with a sense of sarcasm not made for the weak. PSA there is a very good chance he could be Batman.
Spencer
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Spencer met back in 6th grade when silly bandz and those floral Abercrombie skirts were all the rage. Over the last 14 years, Spencer has been a consistent source of laughter, support, and sarcasm. She also deserves an award for putting up with Lauren's hysterical sobbing at countless One Direction concerts.
Matt
Groomsman
From Moe's Mondays to golfing at any course in WNY, Matt is always there for Brett. Matt has been a loyal and dedicated friend for 13+ years. Plus we keep him around because he has a great in-ground pool.
Grace
Bridesmaid
Even though Grace got a better grade than Lauren in high school choir, Lauren still wanted Grace to stand by her on her big day. Grace goes to the ends of the earth for the people in her life and also hosts a mean game night. She is the only person Lauren will go to the gym for at 6:30 in the morning.
Josh
Groomsman
Josh has been Brett's #1 hype man since elementary school. Josh will never fail to make you laugh but that's just a fraction of the reason why he is such an incredible friend to Brett. Most importantly, just wait until he hits the dance floor.
Jordan
Bridesmaid
Jordan and Lauren made it through both performing Shakespeare's The Tempest in 5th grade to living together during a pandemic. Jordan is someone who will cheer you on no matter what path you take and find you the best place to eat in NYC.
Tim
Groomsman
From preschool teachers not being able to handle Brett and Tim, to baseball teammates, to golfing together any weekend they have free. Tim has been a foundation in Brett's life for over 20 years. Bonus points awarded to Tim when he won over Lauren for being a Red Sox fan.
Meghan
Bridesmaid
Even though Lauren only gets to see her cousin about once a year, they are always able to pick up exactly where they left off. Meghan will always match your energy and is literally the coolest person alive.
Joe
Groomsman
From strangers to neighbors, Joe and Brett grew up doing everything together. They have a mutual level of respect for each other and an unbreakable bond. Ladies, ask Joe if you ever want to ride on a Zamboni.
Keilani
Bridesmaid
Keilani single-handedly funds Lauren’s obsession with Broadway. She is as compassionate as she is wild and Lauren thanks her stars every day that Geneseo brought them together.
Erick
Groomsman
Erick and Brett became best friends senior year of high school. He can cheer you up on your worst day and will always give you life advice. Warning: stay out of his way on the dance floor.
Maddie
Bridesmaid
Maddie helped Lauren come out of her shell while they both attended Geneseo. Maddie is fiercely loyal and has the most infectious laugh. Venmo her money for a coffee because she teaches preschoolers all day.
Ricky
Groomsman
Brett and Ricky - pitcher and catcher, the perfect pair. From high school baseball teammates to being each other’s groomsmen, Ricky has been Brett’s go-to guy for over a decade. Ricky proudly sports the title “dad” of the friend group.
