Lauren & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Jessica Reitmann
Matron of Honor
Relationship: one of the Bride’s Best Friends “JEL” we make the world go round Favorite movie: Dirty Dancing Favorite song: Wannabe- Spice Girls
Nelson Lopez
Best Man
Relationship To the Couple: Who knew sharing the same cheese bus in high school would lead to being best friends for life? If you've seen Nick and me together in person, then you know how much we get along, there isn't a good, bad, or somewhat questionable idea that we don't share. Growing up in New York we've gone from being a pair of goofy boys to the men we are today, sharing our experiences along the way. I wouldn't be the person I am without Nick and I couldn't imagine a bigger honor than being his best man on such an incredible day. Favorite Movie: The Shawshank Redemption Favorite Song: The Talking Heads - This Must Be the Place
Emily Nohilly
Maid of Honor
Relationship to the couple: I am the girl who puts the "E" in JEL. Lauren, Jess, and I met freshman year of high school at Kellenberg. Jess and Lauren had a handful of classes together, and by the time our afternoon Earth Science class rolled around, their duo became a trio. We make the world go round (cringing at my lame 14 year old self coming up with that). We've been through so much together - twinning birthdays, sleepovers, Charlie Brown's incidents, drive-by creeping sessions, dinner dates, countless note sharing. Friends for life. Favorite Movie/Song: Shrek (Don't come at me...I have no shame) / Accidentally In Love (featured in Shrek 2, my second favorite movie) by The Counting Crows
Nick Mescain
Best Man
Relationship to the couple: Nick was one of my very first friends in junior high. We've been best friends ever since. He is my brother. Favorite Movie: The Bronx Tale
Freddy Morales
Bridesman
Hi! I’m Freddy and I’m one of Lauren’s best friends from Pace NYC. We met at a RHA meeting once, walked back to our dorm in Brooklyn Heights (St. George) and she got a hold of my music playlist – and the rest is history. Though I currently reside in LA, we’ll forever bond over our love for brunch, Frank Ocean and Lychee martinis at Verlaine. Fun fact: Her mom and I share the same birthday (Aug. 17) but I know deep deep deep inside I’m her favorite Leo (shhh don’t tell barbs! 😉) Favorite Movie: The Holiday Favorite Song: Azealia Banks – 212 (not a total fave but adding it because Lauren and I have had great nights with this song)
Roger Corrales
Groomsman
I'm one of Nick's old roommates. We made some cool beer, finessed our beer pong techniques and galavanted the streets of NY in search of shenanigans. I now live in Austin. I still sling beer and have become quite the pool shark and saber bro. Fave movie: Everything Everywhere All at Once Fave song: Déjà Vu Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz

I had the privilege of meeting Lauren while we worked together at General Assembly, but Lauren, Nick and I solidified our friendship on Fulton St by watching Power every Sunday.

I am Nicholas's first cousin! Baldy and I are the main 2 that keep Jen Jen on her feet. (lol). Every moment we have spent together I have cherished, even the moments when we fight and he wins...which is NOT very often.Everytime I came to NYC he always showed me a good time and took me to my favorite spot, BBQs. I love you Baldy and I am extremely proud of the intelligent man you have become!!💕
Julian Armstrong
Groomsman
To say I am of family relation to the bride would be a grave understatement. Some would call me a cousin, others a mentor, although I’ve always considered my role the spiritual advisor to Lauren Rogers. It has been a bitter bite into the sweet nectar of life to watch my young adherent blossom and flourish while peons jeer. I welcome the young Nicholas Love aka Nick Lusty aka Nick infatuation to the descendants of Jefferson and pray the ancestors light the path of eternal jubilation Favorite Movie : Harlem Nights Favorite Song : This Plane - Wiz Khalifa or Butterflies - Michael Jackson
