Wedding Party
Jon Borthwick
Best Man
Jon is Laurence's older brother and also his partner in crime in life. Together they have been to the beaches of Central America, taken long road trips in Australia, drank beers in Eastern Europe, jumped off cliffs, dozens of music festivals, lived together, and even still to this day work together. Jon has shown and taught Laurence everything he knows. There is no one better Laurence could have standing by his side on the most important day of his life.
Kelsey Carnes
Matron of Honor
Sister of the bride, best friend and the human equivalent to sunshine. She is incredibly kind, wickedly funny and Caitlin's other half in every way. Kelsey and Caitlin have shared clothes, laughter, tears and even a 500 sq ft. loft in Oklahoma City. Kelsey is Caitlin's original soulmate and will always be her favorite person in the universe. She is an amazing sister, friend, wife and soon-to-be mom.
Jonathan Sager
Groomsman
Jonathan and Laurence were originally co-workers but they became great friends quickly with their shared love for adventure and fun. Over the years they have toured wineries together, flown Jonathan's airplane and had many great nights out. Their jobs may keep them traveling, but they both still make time to call and see each other regularly, they are still as close as ever.
Alyssa Hughes
Bridesmaid
Caitlin's best friend from childhood to adulthood. Ultimate cheerleader, truth teller and the definition of a best friend for life. When Caitlin's family moved away from their hometown in Frisco, TX to a small sleepy town in Oklahoma when they were 16, Alyssa always made the effort to drive-up and visit and never missed Caitlin's birthday. She is the definition of showing-up for the people that matter most. Alyssa is a fierce friend, wife, and mom to two adorable kiddos.
Beau Schuchart
Groomsman
Beau and Laurence met through mutual friends and a desire to golf. Since that day they have become the best of friends enjoying pretty much anything together. Not even a hurricane could stop the two of them having a great time. If you asked Beau for a favor, he is the type of friend who would say yes before he knows what it is. They did not meet until later in life but they will be friends for the rest of their lives.
Nicole Charlebois
Bridesmaid
Nicole and Caitlin's friendship started with the realization that their significant others were in fact soul mates, but then grew into a wonderful friendship. She is thoughtful, brilliant and just as competitive as Caitlin, which makes for some epic cornhole matches and shared frustration on the golf course. Nicole is the most considerate and intuitive person, always thinking of others and knowing the exact thing to say or do to help, heal or surprise. There will no doubt be so many more memories made in the future.
Hunter Wallen
Groomsman
Hunter and Laurence met working behind a bar in 2019. Together they have climbed many mountains together, floated many rivers and closed down many bars. Hunter is an understanding, loyal and supporting friend who has been by Laurences side through thick and thin. Laurence was the officiant for his marriage to his lovely wife, Marisa.
Marisa Wallen
Bridesmaid
Marisa started off as one of Laurence's oldest and dearest Galveston friends, but quickly became one of Caitlin's favorite people. She is caring, funny, strong, patient and always keeps Laurence in check. Caitlin and Marisa bonded over their partners' ridiculous shenanigans like "car jujitsu" and Taylor Swift. Marisa is a thoughtful friend and an amazing mom.
Adrian Rios
Groomsman
12 years ago Adrian met Laurence working at a restaurant in a mall. They instantly became best friends with a common interest for electronic music and general shenanigans. Over the last decade, they have both moved away at some point but they have always remained close and helped the other in the journey of life. Adrian now has a beautiful family and lives just 5 minutes away from Laurence.
