Wedding Party

Claire Matturro

Maid of Honor

Claire is Lauren's "little big sister" and the mother of the flower girl, Ariuna. It can be quite challenging to sum up a lifetime of sibling memories into one short blurb on a wedding website. One of the many memories that Lauren thinks of fondly is from high school wrestling. Claire taught Lauren how to flip an opponent who was "riding high" the night before a big tournament. Lauren used that move the next day to facilitate her most memorable pin, which Claire artfully photographed. You may hear them lovingly refer to each other as "face," which is short for "sisterface."

Chaz Rose

Best Man

Careyanne Byelick

Bridesmaid

Careyanne and Lauren met in their sophomore year dorm (previously housing for a fraternity referred to as "delta sketch") at Lehigh University. They immediately bonded over Careyanne's shared home state with Lauren's mom, California. Lauren enjoyed helping Careyanne adjust to the fashion requirements of a new climate: "you don't need a cardigan in the summer, even at night!" and "snowboard/ski jackets are acceptable winter attire regardless of your activity planned for the day!" They have been friends ever since.

Kristen Rosati
