Alex Flatley
Groomsman
Alex went to the University of Arizona with me. He and I met when we both rushed the same fraternity during our freshman year of college. We also were roommates for our junior and senior years once we moved out of the fraternity house. During our Junior year, Alex almost lost his life from Meningitis. But thankfully he kicked Meningitis's ass and is still with us today. After Alex was healthier he and I decided to create a philanthropy event with our fraternity to raise awareness about Meningitis. This event was very successful for the last two years we were at Arizona and as a result of this, we raised a total of $115,000 for the Meningitis Foundation Of America.
O'Brien Family Tennis Match
Best Man & Bridesmaid
Our monthly 'Family Activities' are always something to look forward to! This was a time when we played a "friendly" tennis match together! Best Man, James O'Brien Bridesmaid, Annie O'Brien
Spencer Sachen
Groomsman
Spencer and I both grew up here in Colorado. When Spencer and I were in the prime of our baseball careers, we tore up the field together on our Giants baseball team that was coached by Spencer's Dad. Not that it matters, but we did collect some hardware with this legendary team. Spencer and I love to spend time placing some friendly, but serious golf bets on the course during the golf season.
18th Street Apt - College Days
Maid of Honor & Bridesmaids
At CU Boulder, Lauren lived in the same dorm, same hallway as these three friends! After a year in the freshman dorms, all of us lived together for the next three years in our 18th Street Apartment. Many pictures were taken in this tiny kitchen! Maid of Honor, Maddie Craver Bridesmaid, Kaci Day Bridesmaid, Claire Helwig Honorary Bridesmaid, Betta Fish, Sashazeriana
Summertime Golf
Best Man & Bridesmaid
A common theme consistent between both the Candee and O'Brien families is a love for summertime golf! Lauren has become very skilled at riding shot gun in the golf cart. This is from Labor Day Weekend just outside Vail at Eagle Ranch Golf Course. Best Man, James O'Brien Bridesmaid, Annie O'Brien
George Johnson
Groomsman
George and I go way back to the early days. We both grew up as Homestead Hawks in Centennial and played on multiple little league sports teams together were we dominated. We also were part of the Homestead scooter razor gang ( we know that's cool so don't worry). After all the fun we had at our colleges we both returned to Denver to begin the post college life as roommates in the highlands for a couple of years.
Kaci & Kevin Day Wedding
Maid of Honor & Bridesmaids
Bridesmaid, Kaci Day and Groomsman, Kevin Day had the most wonderful wedding in Larkspur, CO in February 2020! We're hoping our special day will be as perfect as their day was! Maid of Honor, Maddie Craver Bridesmaid, Kaci Day Bridesmaid, Claire Helwig Bridesmaid, Laura Whalen (soon to be Laura Tully)
James O'Brien
Best Man
James has been there for me my whole life since day one. I don’t think that a birth makes people brothers, it may make them siblings but brotherhood is something that you have to work at. What is a brother? Brothers have a keen understanding as to who each other is. Gained by years of experience, seeing each other at our highs and at our lows. Brothers share inside jokes. Popcorn? Brothers remember staying up late with dad and then rushing to bed when heard mom come home. Brothers understand that what mom doesn’t know won’t hurt her and that nobody likes a tattle tail. brothers understand that burping at the dinner table will earn you dish duty. Brothers share childhood memories and grown up dreams. One of the greatest joys in my life has been learning from my brother.
Outdoor Adventures
Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, & Groomsman
This was a weekend trip to Vail with an awesome group of friends! We are at Piney River Ranch after canoeing and kayaking around the lake. We've loved being able to spend so much time with our friends and taking advantage of all the CO fun. Maid of Honor, Maddie Craver Bridesmaid, Katie Kowalk Bridesmaid, Kaci Day Groomsman, Kevin Day Bridesmaid, Laura Whalen (soon to be Laura Tully)
Kevin Day
Groomsman
The Guy from Philly who loves a good cheesesteak. Kevin and I met through Lauren and her friend Kaci who is Kevin's wife at a sports bar 2 years ago. Kevin and I both love hitting bombs off the tee box at the golf course and enjoying some nice cold Heineken Beers while watching our local sports teams try and not ruin their seasons.
Brien Gearin
Groomsman
Brien is one of my cousins from my dads side of the family. He and I have had many many memories throughout our lives at all of the family gatherings and celebrations. As all cousins do we have had our fair share of mischief at these family events. Brien's and my favorite childhood moments were those spent at the pump house in Maine with the family and my visits to see him at the University of Dayton for the good ole Saint Patrick's Day shenanigans. Brien currently lives in Loveland Ohio and has 2 children who are both beautiful and an amazing wife.
Scott Clements
Groomsman
Scott went to the University of Arizona with me. He and I met when we both rushed the same fraternity during our freshman year of college. We also were roommates for our junior and senior years once we moved out of the fraternity house. We always found our selves chugging keystone Lights and singing the legendary song Sweet Caroline at our favorite bar DirtBags.
Robert Candee
Groomsman
Robert is my future brother in law, he and I have shared a lot of great memories since we have known each other. Even though he went to a rival college of mine we enjoy talking trash and supporting our teams when they play each other and making friendly bets. We also have played a couple of rounds of golf together and while Robert broke some records on the course I was rolling in bogey putts. Having Robert as my future brother-in-law is a gift and I can't wait to officially be a part of the Candee family!
Jeremy Liby
Groomsman
Jeremy and I grew up 5 minutes from each other in the amazing Homestead neighborhood. Jeremy and I were also known as some of the best homestead and Storm soccer and Homestead soccer defenders there ever were. Our names will forever be etched in history. Now we enjoy trying to make the golf history books on our weekends in our free time while enjoying Ice cold coors lattes on the course
Kendall&Spencer Sachen Wedding
Matron of Honor & Bridesmaid
Lauren was able to attend Matron of Honor, Kendall Sachen and Groomsman Spencer Sachen's wedding in Breckenridge, CO in 2019! It was an incredible day filled with so much love! Matron of Honor, Kendall Scavarda Bridesmaid, Erin Rasey
