Wedding Party
Mia Groves
Matron of Honor
Lloyd & Lauren have been best friends with Mia for over 12 years now. The three of us met in college swimming for Penn State Behrend (you might see a theme there with the bridal party). No matter what, she has always had my back and I can't thank her enough for it. Mia is always the life of the party but also the most supportive and thoughtful friend you'll ever met.
Kayla Novelli
Matron of Honor
Kay and Lauren grew up across the street from each other. Kay's family moved to Birdland in 2001 and we've been best friends let's be real sisters ever since! We grew up playing Barbies, riding bikes, going on beach vacations, Costco runs, and swimming together. She has the kindest heart and the best style! She's not able to attend the wedding but she'll be there in spirit!
Allison Roth
Bridesmaid
Al and I met in 2014 when we decided to room together at Penn State Behrend. We were roommates + swimming & water polo teammates for 2 years. Al, Mia, Rayni, & I all survived the sprint lane together while Lloyd roomed & swam with Al's now husband, Mr. Nicholas Roth. Al is one of the smartest people you'll ever meet with a Bachelors in International Business and two Masters degrees: one in Econometrics and the other in Data Science.
Rayni Modecki
Bridesmaid
Rain and I met in our middle school years swimming for our summer league at Scott Pool. We swam together on the summer league, all through high school, and then we swam and played water polo together at Behrend. She was two grades below me and always felt like my little sister. She speaks her mind no matter what, is loyal as hell, and the life of every party. Vivacious is the word that comes to mind when I think of her.
Brittany Hatopp
Bridesmaid
I met Britt in 2014 too when we decided to be roommates along with Al. I was roommates with both of them for 2 years and water polo teammates with Britt during that same time frame. Britt is one of the kindest, wisest, funniest, and most athletic people you will ever meet. Consider yourself extremely lucky if you have the honor of being her friend. Britt is welcoming her first child this July so she will be greatly missed at the wedding!
