Lauren & Quinten
Wedding Party
Alara Worrick
Co-Maid of Honor
Alara and I quickly became friends in 7th grade when I was "the new kid" at school. Our first experience together was creating a child from both of our gene pools in Life Science class...what a great way to get to know someone, right?! We have been best friends ever since through thick and thin. I am blessed to have my long-time friend by my side on one of the most important days of my life.
Corey Bowen
Best Man
If you have ever been in the same room as Quinten and Corey, you know that they have the same exact humor. They are lucky enough to have one of those friendships where time and distance doesn't matter because nothing can change their relationship. Corey has been Quinten's best pal since elementary school and we are so excited to have him as the best man.
Ruth Smitherman
Co-Maid of Honor
Ever since Ruth & I met in early 2018 we've been nearly inseparable! Our common love of theatre and improv brought us closer together during college at California Lutheran University, but that was only the beginning of our common interests! Ruth truly became family to us after my mom passed away as she would Zoom or FaceTime me several days a week. Now I don't know what I would do without my Ruthie in my life! I am so grateful to have Ruth as a supportive and loving friend, and now one of my Maid of Honors.
Grant Escandon
Best Boy
Grant's bubbly personality is something you never forget! His friendship is as endless as his musical talent and he has quickly become part of our extended family. Quinten and Grant were mutual friends of Casey's in high school, but did not become close until early 2018 (same time Lauren met his girlfriend Ruth!). You can often catch Q & Grant playing online video games together with drinks!
Olivia Kridle
Bridesmaid
Olivia & I met through mutual friends (aka our boyfriends) and hit it off right away. She is one of the most sincere and caring people and her energy is infectious. Although we don't get to see each other often, I have considered her a dear friend since the day we met.
Casey Bowen
Groomsman
Quinten has also been good friends with Casey since elementary school (if you couldn't tell, Casey & Corey are twins!). Their friendship has continued to grow and evolve into something even more special over the years. Casey is an incredibly talented actor and D&D dungeon master! Casey's fun and uplifting demeanor is one of endless reasons why we are so honored to have Casey in our wedding party.
Lloyd Lebow
Officiant
When thinking of who we wanted to join us into our lives as a married couple, there was no other person than Grampa Lloyd considered. Lloyd has the biggest heart and has been like a grandfather to both of us (he is actually Casey & Corey's grandpa). His marriage to the love of his life, Michael, was a beautiful one and inspires us as we begin this new chapter of life.
