Lauren & Cletus
Our Amazing Wedding Party
Sarah Chamba
Matron of Honor
There is so much to say about Sarah but to sum it up-she's amazing! Lauren and Sarah have a been friends for a few years (again another blessing we met through Caralea Valley!)-but you would think we've been friends for life. We are oddly similar in our lives and how we grew up-both the good and the bad! Sarah is an an amazing mother of two awesome kiddos (Josh and Juliana), a fantastic wife, and the kind of person you are lucky to have in your life! Adam and I both knew this was the obvious choice for MOH because she treats us like blood family and is always there without hesitation. We are honored and so happy to know she will be by our sides on our special day <3
Randall Shaffer
Best Man
Randall has been Adam's best friend for over 15 years and with Lauren since 2017 when Lauren & Adam started dating. We have shared a lot of fun memories together and we definitely know how to have fun when are all together-and when it's just Adam and Randall they are definitely never bored! They both enjoy hunting and fishing together and you best believe if they are out and Copperhead Road comes on, they are not standing still :D We couldn't imagine our special day without Randall up there with us and are thankful to have him in our lives.
Addison Rose Malnar
Junior Maid of Honor
Addison (Rose) is Lauren's daughter and she is going to be a perfect junior maid of honor on our special day! Addison has always been mama's sidekick since day one! Addison was very involved in the engagement process helping Adam choose Lauren's beautiful ring AND being a huge part of planning the proposal-which was TRULY AMAZING! Addison (or Rose as most refer to her now) will surely make our day more magical and we couldn't imagine it without her <3
Jameson Beck Ellis
Junior Best Man
Jameson ("Bubba") is Lauren's son but he is definitely Adam's sidekick! He loves to call Adam his "homie" and they truly share a very special bond! Adam knew he needed Jameson by his side on our big day because it wouldn't be as special without him. Jameson loves to go hunting and fishing with Adam-but he's also a mama's boy too and loves spending time with Lauren. Jameson will surely have the biggest smile possible on our big day and we cannot wait to share this day with him <3
Sarah Jones
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Lauren's boss-but more than that she is Lauren's friend! Lauren and Sarah have worked together for 5 years and have definitely created a lot of memories together. Sarah is the type of person that will always be there for you and never judge you-she is a true friend. It's rare that you have a boss who turns into one of your best friends but also knows how to separate professional from personal-so Lauren definitely hit the jackpot! Adam and I both knew we couldn't celebrate our day without her by our sides <3
Bradley Ford
Groomsman
Bradley and Adam met and instantly hit it off as friends when Adam started working for Greystar in 2017 as a maintenance/renovations tech. They worked together for a couple years and made a great team! Bradley and his family are definitely like family to us and we couldn't imagine our big day without him in it! Bradley has helped Adam with his new found interest in hunting and Adam can call him anytime with a question or looking for advice and Bradley is always quick to help. We are so thankful to call him our friend!
Shawna Gray
Bridesmaid
Shawna has been Lauren’s friend since 10th grade when Lauren moved to NC (20 years really?!) and they became friends swimming together on the ERHS swim team! Shawna has truly been there for Lauren through so much and has always been the most amazing friend! Shawna is also Addison’s godmother and is really more like family to all of us than just a friend! She is an awesome CRNA at Rowan Medical Center, mother to 2 fabulous kiddos, and a wonderful wife to Matt! We cannot imagine our special day without her in it! <3
Daniel Helms
Groomsman
There is so much to love about this guy! Lauren met Daniel (and his awesome family) back in 2013 when she bought their old house and we stayed friends since then. Jessika, Daniel's wife, along with Daniel helped capture the magical moment that Adam proposed and we knew we couldn't do this wedding without him. We are so lucky to have Jessika photographing our big day and now Daniel up there with us as we say I do. Daniel and Adam have gotten to be very good friends and relate to each other on a lot of similar interests. We know Daniel will surely bring extra humor to our big day-he's always great for making us (and everyone around him) laugh and have a good time!
Randi Trexler
Bridesmaid
Randi is Adam's sister-in-law and a very good friend to Lauren. We are so excited to have her in our wedding party-and Lauren is super excited to gain her a sister officially! Randi has been in Adam's life for a very long time and in 2014 she married his brother, Jason and officially became Adam's sister-in-law. Randi works in property management just like Lauren-so she has always been someone Lauren can talk to whether it's work or life related! We cannot imagine our day without her in it <3
Jason Trexler
Groomsman
Jason is Adam's brother-so we guess he wins for knowing the groom the longest! :) When these two are together, it's always a good time and Jason is the life of the party. Lauren has known Jason for several years-even before she and Adam were together-and she has always considered him to be a great friend-and now she's excited to gain him as brother-in-law! Adam and Jason are two peas in a pod and have many of the same interests but are both unique in their own ways-but one thing that holds true is their amazing bond as brothers. We are so happy that Jason will be up there with us as we say "I do"!
Sheena Dietz
Bridesmaid
Sheena is a one of kind friend and we are very thankful call her our friend! She is one of those people that is there when you need her and radiates positivity. Lauren and Sheena went to school together (as well as Sheena's awesome husband, Andrew!) and they reconnected recently at a friends slip and slide party! She is a successful real estate agent and has some of the best style around! We are grateful that she agreed to be a part of our special day at last minute and we cannot wait to share in the memory making with her! <3
Chevy Wright
Groomsman
Chevy and Adam have been close friends for years! They have shared many fun memories while RC crawling together at DLB-and also building rigs together or helping each other out on builds. Chevy and Lauren became friends through Adam and we are both very thankful for his friendship. Chevy is definitely the "tell it like it is" friend and is always good for a laugh or two-we wouldn't know what to do if he was any other way. We are so excited to have him up there with us on our special day!
