Wedding Party
Amanda Van Hoose Garofalo
Matron of Honor
Amanda is Lauren's eldest sister and lives in Manhattan with her husband, Frank, and their puppy, Waverly. Growing up, Amanda always dreamed of becoming a lawyer and moving to NYC. Naturally, she achieved her goals and was easily one of Lauren's first role models in life.
Nathan Parzuchowski
Best Man
Nathan is Kevin's older brother and lives in Xenia, OH with his wife, Erica, and their Beagle, Ladybird. Kevin and Nathan have been partners in crime from the very beginning. They enjoy brewing up and bottling their own craft beer whenever Nathan comes to town.
Ashley Davidson
Bridesmaid
Ashley is one of Lauren's older sisters and lives in Shelby Township with her husband Caleb, and four children, Alina, Leland, London, and Jonah. Ashley leads by example when it comes to being a "super mom" and provides motivation to Lauren that she'll be just as capable one day in the future.
Kunal Patel
Groomsman
Kunal and Kevin met while pledging Pi Kappa Alpha at Kettering University. Kunal currently works GM (just like Kevin) and lives in Warren. Kevin and Kunal enjoy co-hosting their fantasy football podcast where they roast the rest of their league.
Chelsea Bollinger
Bridesmaid
Chelsea and Lauren met in 2016 when they started working at Plastic Omnium. Together, they enjoy adventures to Target, Starbucks, and Europe. In fact, it was in Europe when they discovered their alter egos, Eunice and Martha, respectively. Chelsea recently moved back to the East Side of the state with her husband, Jake, and their dog, Maverick. She clearly couldn't stay away from Lauren and Kevin long!
Jacob Bollinger
Groomsman
Jake and Kevin met at Kettering University while becoming brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha. Jake was living in Grand Rapids with his wife, Chelsea, and their dog, Maverick, but Kevin was recently successful in his indoctrination into the "GM Bros Cult" on the east side of the state. It was always only a matter of time!
Emily Mahon
Bridesmaid
Emily and Lauren met the summer before attending Kettering University. After discovering that they wore the same size shoes, they became roommates throughout the rest of college. Additionally, they even joined the same women's fraternity, Alpha Gamma Delta. They continue enjoying nail salon days (pre-Covid) and dinner dates.
Jacob Elliott
Groomsman
Jake and Kevin met back in AP Calculus at South Lyon High School. They then became fraternity brothers in college at Kettering University. Kevin and Jake enjoy their shared schooling experiences so much that they're now attending grad school together through GM's graduate program.
Erica Parzuchowski
Bridesmaid
Erica is Kevin's sister-in-law and currently lives in Xenia, OH with her husband, Nathan, and Beagle, Ladybird. Erica is currently studying at OSU (something that Lauren tries hard to forget). Over the last 10 years, Nathan, Erica, Kevin, and Lauren have all bonded and already feel like family. They're all just excited to make it official!
Kristen Parzuchowski
Bridesmaid
Kristen is Kevin's younger sister and currently lives in Boulder, CO where she is striving for a PhD in Physics. Kristen and Kevin bond over their enthusiasm for running (something that baffles Lauren). Lauren and Kristen enjoy their shared appreciation of adorable doggos. Over the last decade, Kristen and Lauren have grown as close as actual sisters and can't imagine it any other way.
Alina and London Davidson
Flower Girl
Alina and London are Kevin and Lauren's nieces and they will be 8 and 4 years old at the time of the wedding. They love playing and coloring with their Aunt Loey and Uncle Kevin and they cannot wait to help them get married!
Leland and Jonah Davidson
Ring Bearer
Leland and Jonah are Kevin and Lauren's nephews and will be 6 and 2 years old at the time of the wedding. Leland loves to tell his Aunt Loey and Uncle Kevin about all his favorite dinosaurs and animals, while Jonah enjoys being held and/or fed by them (or anyone willing!).
