Lauren & Garrett
Wedding Party
Emily Kistler
Matron of Honor
Emily and Lauren met in 3rd grade! Emily is a meeting coordinator who has helped immensely with wedding planning. Through elementary school, middle school, high school, and college, and now experiencing a long-distance friendship, Emily and Lauren have always found ways to be there for each other. After being the Maid of Honor for Emily's beautiful wedding this past November, they will swap roles as Emily takes on the position of Matron of Honor.
Josh Herzfeld
Best Man
Garrett and Josh met at Purdue in the Honors College. They lived in the same dorm building for 3 years and were roommates Senior year. Josh is a mechanical engineer who, at Purdue, helped Garrett through freshman engineering and thermodynamics. Post college, Garrett and Josh have travelled to a St. Louis Blues game, Spain, the Final Four, and bourbon tasting in Kentucky.
Mary Elizabeth Gandy
Bridesmaid
Otherwise known as Meg, Mary Elizabeth was one of the first friends Lauren made after moving to Alabama! She's a nurse at the local hospital and has the funniest (and worst) stories from her job. Without her, Lauren and Garrett's life in Alabama wouldn't be the same and neither would their wedding.
Hayden Armstrong
Groomsman
Hayden is Garrett's younger brother. He's currently attending Rose Hulman for Electrical Engineering, with aspirations to join the Air Force as a pilot. He already has his pilot's license and is absolutely killing it.
Mary Stellato
Bridesmaid
Mary was one of Lauren's roommates at Purdue! She was also in the same major as her and is one of the reasons Lauren got her graphic design degree. She's not only earned the title of "bridesmaid" by helping Lauren meticulously pick out fonts and colors for wedding stationery, she's also one of Lauren's dearest friends.
Jonah Roberts
Groomsman
Jonah is one of Garrett's best friends from Purdue. He and his girlfriend, Mary, pushed to introduce Garrett and Lauren at the valentine's day breakfast. Now, they live in Virginia, where Jonah works as a Civil Engineer. Garrett and Jonah stay close through voice chat while playing Rocket League and other video games.
Abbey Armstrong
Bridesmaid
Abbey is one of Lauren's friends who also just happens to be Garrett's sister. She is an elementary school teacher with an obsession with Grey's Anatomy and her nephew. She may also well be the funniest Armstrong. Abbey has been one of the best parts of joining Garrett's family and Lauren is so excited to have a sister!
Austin Armstrong
Groomsman
Austin is Garrett's older brother, who lives and works in Texas as a band director. After Garrett supported him in his beautiful wedding to Caitlin, we are so glad to have him there to support us.
Noah Mehringer
Officiant
Garrett and Noah have been friends since high school, in their engineering and robotics classes. After being Garrett's roommate at Purdue during Freshman year, Noah graduated as a Biomedical Engineer and moved to San Diego to get his master's degree.
