Wedding Party
Paxton Evans
Maid of Honor
Paxton and Lauren have been best friends since high school. They met in a TV production class and have been inseparable ever since. After graduating from high school, the two tore up Gainesville together at the University of Florida. And now, they work together at their high school alma mater - their favorite class is Happy Hour on Friday afternoons. Paxton's family is an extension of Lauren's, and Lauren is thrilled to have Paxton stand beside her on the best day of her life.
Sean Jones
Best Man
Declan and Sean met shortly after starting college in Jacksonville. What started as a simple conversation over a Florida Gators hat Declan wore to class quickly turned into a strong friendship with weekend trips down to rowdy Gainesville and un-forgettable spring break’s in Daytona. Sean and Declan shortly both moved to Orlando to attend UCF and continued to grow their friendship with flag football games, sporting events, and trips with the boys. Sean is like a brother to Declan and he is thrilled to have Sean stand next to him on such a special day, and the beginning of a new chapter of brotherhood.
Lisette Pellot
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Lisette met at the University of Florida through a mutual friend (you guessed it, it was Paxton). The two became instant friends and have since traveled and gone through life's ups and downs together. Lisette and Lauren are always down for an adventure and love watching Gator games together. Lauren is so pleased to have Lisette with her on her wedding day.
Jonny Bounleutay
Groomsman
Declan and Jonny met while working at Bahama Breeze. Jonny was one of the bartenders, so Declan found himself talking to Jonny often at work. With similar passions in sports and staying active, the two quickly became close friends. Together, they started the now-retired “Bahama Breeze” flag football team. Though both have different jobs now, Declan and Jonny have continued to stay in close contact and find time to get together. Declan is thrilled to have Jonny be a part of his special day.
Ashley Brickhouse
Bridesmaid
Lauren met Ashley her senior year of high school in a math class. Around November, the two found that they had both applied to the University of Florida and when they got their acceptance letters, they instantly became close. The two lived together three out of their four years at the University of Florida and were inseparable. Some of their favorite memories are from road trips to out of town Gator games. Lauren is so excited to have Ashley stand with her on her wedding day.
Bryant Mize
Groomsman
Declan and Bryant met through a mutual friend (AKA the Best Man) and signed a lease to live with each other before even meeting in person. The two quickly became close friends, as Bryant expanded Declan’s beer palate, and Bryant became an accomplice to Declan’s spontaneous adventures. A strong bond formed while living at the Downey house for 2 years, like the brother Declan never had, and Declan is thrilled to have Bryant be a part of his special day.
Tyana King
Bridesmaid
Lauren met Tyana in the same way she met Ashley and the three bonded over their UF acceptances. They lived together, studied together, and most importantly partied together during their years at UF. Some of their favorite memories include late night dance parties at "Club 1014". Lauren is honored to have Tyana by her on her wedding day.
Michael Wiggs
Groomsman
Michael is a close friend of Declan and Lauren. He has been the wise and helping hand in many aspects of both Declan and Lauren’s lives. Declan and Michael bonded over a sports rivalry, with Michael playing football and graduating from USF and Declan graduating from UCF. It hasn’t been much of a “rivalry” these past few years, but nonetheless Declan is grateful to have met Michael through Lauren and is thrilled to have him be a part of such a special day.
