Lauren & Trevor
Wedding Party
Leah Challenger
Bridesmaid
Leah is not only one of Lauren's childhood friends, but also the person who introduced the bride and groom! She's always having a good time and making people laugh. She also has a pretty short attention span so good luck keeping her to yourself for long!
Adam Leatherman
Groomsman
Adam has played many roles in Trevor’s adult life from roommate, personal chef, caretaker, disciplinarian, to one man moving crew since Trevor enjoyed moving into new apartments every year. The most important role though has been being Trevor’s best friend. He has always been by Trevor’s side when he needs him, and unfortunately quite literally gives the shirt off his back whenever he needs it.
Mary Kuba
Bridesmaid
Mary is another one of Lauren's childhood friends. She can get along with any crowd and tends to her friend's needs with care. With her creative personality and wide array of interests, you'll find her charming guests during cocktail hour.
Ben Keim
Groomsman
Ben is one of Trevor’s longtime friends. His infectiously optimistic and “can do” demeanor has helped shape who Trevor is today. Ben and Trevor have had too many (inappropriate) stories to recount from their days together in New Paris, Fort Wayne, and Chicago where they both resided at one point or another. Trevor is also very proud to be the Godfather to Ben’s daughter Delilah. Ben and Trevor have a brotherly bond that can only be explained through years of friendship.
Lily Yan
Bridesmaid
Lauren & Lily met while working at Target Corporate in Minneapolis, MN. They've taken several trips together and both ended up moving to California, and enjoy visiting each other in San Francisco & Los Angeles. Lily’s empathetic and intuitive nature as well as her appetite for adventure and new experiences makes her an amazing friend. Catch Lily nursing the same drink all night and boogieing with her soon to be husband on the dance floor.
Alex Kellenberger
Groomswoman
Alex and Trevor have been friends since childhood. Alex and her family were like Trevor’s second family growing up. You could always find Alex riding on the back of Trevor’s scooter and occasionally you would find Trevor being thrown from the back of Alex’s snow mobile. The two were inseparable growing up. Through all of their different life stages, they have supported each other and remained constant friends.
amy lovejoy
Bridesmaid
Amy & Lauren met in a professional business fraternity at The University of Iowa. They loved pulling all-nighters together to study for exams. Amy is a free-spirited Iowa girl who loves and accepts every type of human being on the planet. You might see her spilling a drink during the speeches or hoarding tacos in her purse for later.
Darin Bernaert
Groomsman
Darin is Trevor’s oldest friend. They met around the age of 5. They spent most of their childhood trying to escape boredom in the corn fields of New Paris IN. They invented a number of fun games like dirt clod fights, digging holes to China, and truck hood sledding behind a snowmobile. It’s actually amazing they are both still alive. Years go by without Darin and Trevor seeing each other but every time they do it just picks back up where they left off.
Shelby Kimlick
Bridesmaid
As the groom's older sister, Lauren has always looked up to Shelby. She helped the groom pull off the most insanely perfect proposal on Catalina Island, and is a loved regular of The Kibitz Room on Fairfax. A great conversationalist, you'll likely see her entertaining away during cocktail hour.
Deanna Vazquez
Groomswoman
Deanna was Trevor’s Chicago PIC. Trevor and Deanna met in college. They terrorized the streets of Chicago in their heyday. From hosting all weekend shindigs, to evading vigilante taxi driver’s payments. Deanna and Trevor pushed each other in their formative years to be better. They always looked out for each other and had each other’s backs.
Jessica McClain
Bridesmaid
Lauren & Jess were roommates for 2 years in Minneapolis, MN. This feisty, smart redhead lives life to the absolute fullest and lights up the room with her infectious laugh. Look out for Jess pressuring people to take shots at the bar.
Evan Tonkel
Groomsman
Evan and Trevor transplanted in LA around the same time 5 years ago. Since then they have embarked on many adventures in efforts of making their new city, home. They share many of the same passions like the desire to acquire mercury poison by eating copious amounts of sushi, seeing their favorite bands, and exploring the great outdoors.
Matt Martenson
Usher
Matt is Lauren's younger brother, and great usher material. Matt, Trevor, & Lauren have had a lot of good times together. Matt shows them around the Lemont townie bars so that Lauren can stay in the loop and Lauren tries to satisfy Matt's insatiable craving for the great outdoors while he's out west. Although sometimes that leads to epic fails such as almost running out of gas on 2 separate visits in 2 separate mountain ranges.
Tyler Mann
Usher
Tyler is the right man for the job of usher. He is a southern gentleman born to walk grandmas to their seats. Tyler and Trevor also met five years ago when they transplanted to LA. They have had a hell of a time tearing up SoCal and exploring new spots.
Joel Hawkins
Officiant
Joel embodies Lauren & Trevor’s idea of an all-around good person. Trevor grew up with Joel and has always respected his moral compass. Lauren has had the pleasure of getting to know Joel as our financial advisor over the last four years, and naturally she prefers us being married by someone who knows how to turn a dollar into two.
