Wedding Party
Courtney Shorter
Maid of Honor
Lauren's maid of honor, identical twin sister and best friend from day 1 (literally). They’ve shared every milestone, every laugh, and every adventure together. She is Lauren's personal stylist and go-to fashion expert.
Mason Steffen
Best Man
Mitch’s lifelong friend, teammate, and “brother.” Mason has shared countless memories with Mitch both on and off the court. His companionship and unwavering support have made him a true teammate in life. From game days to wedding day, he’s always had Mitch’s back.
Allison Shorter
Bridesmaid
Lauren’s oldest sister, and truly one of the smartest people she knows! If you ever have a history question, she’s the go-to girl. Her knowledge and passion make her the family’s resident historian.
Derek Sabin
Groomsman
Mitch’s college roommate and basketball teammate at Belmont University, Derek has shared countless memories with Mitch both on and off the court. From late-night Apex Legends and lighting stuff on fire, to 5am lifts and practices, he’s always been by his side.
Taylor Listau
Bridesmaid
The future sister-in-law every bride dreams of: kind, smart, caring, and constantly checking that Mitch isn’t driving Lauren crazy (or making her drink Hennessy).
Steven Shorter
Groomsman
The future brother-in-law that has already been an honorary brother for years to Mitch. Now that Steven is of age, there will be many casino trips in the future for the two of them!
Isabelle Maleki
Bridesmaid
Lauren’s college roommate and former golf teammate, who quickly became one of her closest friends. They spent nearly every day together in college, and now they’re still side by side, this time chasing their dreams of becoming physician assistants.
Marty Strey
Groomsman
Mitch’s AAU teammate and fellow foodie. Marty will give you the shirt off his back literally and figuratively, (he always brings a backup) and be by your side through any battle.
Courtney Matschke
Bridesmaid
Lauren's college roommate and former golf teammate! They spent years playing against each other in junior golf but became besties in college. She was Lauren's go-to chauffeur during her surgery-filled college years and is always down for a Baskin Robbins milkshake.
Matthew Broadway
Groomsman
Mitch’s high school teammate, and fellow die-hard bucks fan. Matt is responsible for about 750 of Mitch’s 1,800 high school points, due to his savvy off ball screens and low post seals.
Alexandra Zakutney
Bridesmaid
Lauren's college bestie and official wing woman! She & Rylee got Mitch Lauren's number, and the rest is history. She and Lauren met freshman year of college and instantly clicked.
Tyler Ronk
Groomsman
Mitch’s high school teammate and true “warrior”. Tyler was the ultimate glue guy. He competes at the highest level, whether that was on the court with his leadership, or off the court with his elite ice cream eating abilities.
Rylee Boyd
Bridesmaid
Lauren's college bestie & official wing woman! She and Lauren (along with Alex) spent long days in the training room rehabbing knee injuries, always keeping their spirits high with laughter and unwavering support.
Nathaniel Carter
Groomsman
One of Mitch’s first friends dating back to 5th grade when the first started playing hoops together. Nate has been Mitch’s “rim protector” for well over a decade!
Deanna Becker
Bride's Honor Attendant
Lauren’s cousin! A pediatric cardiac sonographer who shares Lauren’s love for medicine. She will be busy keeping Lauren organized and stress-free on the big day.
