Officiant
Aaron has been best friends with Lauren for about 10 years and played a very influential role in Parker and Lauren's relationship. He has seen it all; the good, the bad, the difficult, the beautiful... He, himself, has been through so much, yet they always come back together. As someone who continues to, and will continue to be a large part of their lives in many ways, Parker and Lauren can think of no one more fitting to marry them.
Maid of Honor
Stephanie has been Lauren's best friend since they were practically in diapers. They spent the days mostly at one another's house, right next door for most of their lives. They have been talking about each others' lives for what seems like forever and Lauren can't imagine this step in her life without her.
Best Man
Niko has been a large part of Lauren's life for the last 5 years. Niko and his partner and son have been a second family to Lauren and Parker and they spend most weekends together. Lauren and Niko bond over their introvert tendencies and think very similarly. They are comfortable talking about anything or sitting in silence for hours. They enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons, new board games, mysteries and Magic the Gathering. His love language is trolling and treating Parker like a little sister.
Maid of Honor
Megan has been by Parker's side through so many of life’s biggest moments, and over the years, her family has truly become like a second family to her and Lauren. Megan is a massive part of the reason that Lauren and Parker ever met and have proved to be one of the main constants in their lives. From late night talks to D&D campaigns to Disney trips, they have had so many adventures and look forward to so many more over years to come. For that reason, Parker couldn’t imagine this day without her standing beside them.
Bridesmaid
Chloé grew up with Lauren and is a large part of her love of music, voices, theater and Green Day; yes, Green Day gets its own mention. Chloé has always loved and supported Lauren unabashedly and without restriction. She is one of the main people that can keep up with all of Lauren's various personalities and impressions and can be found following up Lauren's statements with "Wait that's so funny -- what's that from...?"
Bridesmaid
Kaitlyn is Lauren's big sister and has taken that role very seriously her whole life. From basically naming Lauren to looking out for her at every milestone, they have been dreaming of their weddings since they were little. Parker and Kaitlyn have become thick as thieves and Kaitlyn has slowly taken on that role for Parker as an older sibling; as Parker is an older sibling, she has never had this and appreciates Kaitlyn for it immensely. Even if those little girls' wedding dreams have shifted over the years, Lauren can't imagine Kaitlyn not standing up there with her on her big day.
Bridesperson
MJ and Lauren have had quite a few gut-busting laughs together over the course of their lives. Their silly sense of humor have been one of their many bonding moments over the years. As Lauren's sibling, they have always had her heart in mind and very much understands the inner workings of Lauren's mind and heart. Parker and MJ have bonded as well, with Parker describing their relationship as one of compassion and mutual interests. Lauren and Parker would be crazy to not have them with them on their big day.
Bridesman
Landon, AKA Brother of the bride, was Parker's first and forever best friend. From Winco trips for snacks to late night drives and shenanigans, they have made it through life together side by side. Lauren, who has never had brothers, truly finds that brother dynamic in Landon, finding him as an open soundboard for their thoughts and feelings and a pain in the butt all at the same time (lovingly, of course). It is only fitting that Landon is a big part of Parker's big day.
Bridesmaid
Parker’s cousin has always been so much more like a sister. Growing up side by side, they shared countless memories, milestones, and dreams—including imagining what it would be like to stand beside each other on their wedding days. Their bond has remained constant through every season of life, and it means the world to have her standing with her on this one.
Bridesmaid
Jessica has been a devout friend to Parker since they met. From being her personal hype-woman to honorary girlfriend, they share a love of Starkid, Mean Girls and yummy snacks. After Lauren and Jessica had been friends for a long time, Parker found an immediate friend in Jessica and before we knew it, they were thick as thieves. Parker is honored to have her by her side on her big day!
Bridesmaid
Since joining the family, Parker’s sister-in-law quickly became so much more than that. The two of them bonded instantly, forming a friendship filled with laughter, support, and genuine love. It feels like she has always been part of the story, and she is so grateful to have her standing beside them on such a meaningful day.
