Lawrence & Carlee
Wedding Party
Rosamond Smith
Matron of Honor
Rosamond is Carlee's favorite (and only) sister! Fulfilling the ultimate big sister role, she's also doing the Bride's hair, a task she has been training in for 30 years. Thankfully, the bride learned all her planning and organizational skills from the MOH, so we're in great hands for the festivities. She's traveling from the Pacific Northwest to be here for our big day.
Rachel Rathe
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Carlee met while working at the Paramount Theatre in Aurora in 2015. Everyone backstage thought they were super cool, and never obnoxious or annoying. They lived and worked and commuted together for the most glorious year and a half of their lives. Now they send each other Instagram reels of how terrible it is to be a long distance bestie.
Cheyenne Walsh
Bridesmaid
Cheyenne is Carlee's oldest friend, going back to Mr. Michael's 3rd grade class. Their friendship solidified out at camp, where some of their chalk graffiti can still be found to this day. They spent many years traipsing around Clinton, Illinois, getting slushies, collecting spy gear, and climbing on the roof together.
Andrew Hammer
Groomsman
Lawrence’s favorite (and only) brother, Andrew has been around the longest- mostly because he never had a choice. He’s been there for every phase, from questionable childhood decisions to even more questionable adult ones, and now finds himself legally bound to stand by Lawrence’s side for the ceremony. Some call it brotherly love, Andrew just calls it a lifetime sentence.
Paul Brown
Best Man
Paul, the Best Man- has been Lawrence's “bestionable” influence — has been by his side since the high school football days. The best man title goes back to a pact made in a Carbondale, IL garage. Through life’s ups, downs, and more sideways detours than either will admit, Paul has stuck around. He’s here today not just out of loyalty, or incredible lasagna, but because, frankly, he knows too much.
Shane Stewart
Groomsman
One of Lawrence’s oldest friends (since all the way back in junior high), Shane has been around for all the ups, the downs, and yes that one time with the mailbox. Known as the responsible one of the crew, Shane’s steady hand and measured approach have saved Lawrence & Co. from more disasters than they’d care to admit. Without him and his measured approach both in life and cocktails, things would be far messier, and definitely less fun.
