The Wedding Party
Lauren Schramm
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Nathan met at the hospital on her very first birthday (we couldn't resist, sorry). One of Nathan's favorite childhood memories starring Lauren is when she dressed the family cat in a sweater stolen from a stuffed animal. These days, Lauren is busy doing her part to save the world with her work in environmental protection. Chat with Lauren about all things nature and animals!
Brandon Arnold
Best Man
Since elementary school, Brandon and Nathan have been partners in crime (we'll let you decide how literal this is). Life may have changed in the twenty-ish years since then, but these two are still as tight as ever. Brandon was also Megan's very first friend in Vermont, and remains one of her most cherished pals. Chat with Brandon about Smash Brothers, technology (Linux especially!), and movies. If you want to be REALLY good friends, show him a photo of your pet!
Kelsey Banulis
Bridesmaid
Kelsey and Megan met in 2017 while working at NorthCountry FCU. During her training, Kelsey lamented her struggles in handling her cat, who has what we'll call a "strong personality". It was that moment when Megan knew they absolutely had to be friends. Since then, Kelsey and Megan have had so many amazing adventures that it's impossible to choose a favorite. Chat with Kelsey about cats, crafting, and all things spooky!
Jacob Staley
Groomsman
If you were to overhear a conversation between Jacob and Megan, it would be reasonable for you to question how they could possibly be best friends. Don't worry, though; after nearly a decade of friendship, these two prefer to show affection through the art of the roast. Jacob and Nathan are also close pals, but have chosen a more traditional, and perhaps healthier, communication style. Chat with Jacob about movies, gaming, and photography!
Samantha "Sami" Hyland
Bridesmaid
Sami and Megan were introduced through Kelsey in 2017. While these two enjoyed each other's company from the start, their friendship truly reached lifetime pal status last year. Sami lights up any room she walks into and has been the source of many "laugh until your stomach hurts" moments. No girl's night is complete without her! Chat with Sami about Broadway, TV series, and dogs!
Christopher Valenze
Groomsman
Known fondly as a little brother from another mother, Chris has been a fixture in Nathan and Megan's lives for nearly a decade. The moment that truly solidified this friendship occurred last year when Chris finally switched his allegiance from inferior maple syrup to Vermont's finest. Good job, Chris! Chat with Chris about gaming, technology, and animals (otters preferred)!
Brittany Downs
Bridesmaid
In 2018, Brittany and Megan met at a company party in an arcade (Megan challenged Brittany to arcade basketball and was promptly destroyed). Since then, these ladies have bonded over a variety of mutual interests and the plant mom lifestyle. Is this wedding actually for Megan and Brittany? Stay tuned! Chat with Brittany about plants, reptiles (dinosaurs preferred), and gaming!
Samuel Albrycht
Officiant
Sam ("Shamuel" to Megan) and Megan ("Meganuel" to Sam) met at work in 2017. Today, Meganuel and Shamuel enjoy a beautiful friendship built around one very important virtue: sass. As our officiant, Sam will lead us through our vows while also reminding us of certain realities of life, such as "time isn't real" and "a skeleton lives inside us all". Chat with Sam about gaming (tabletop & video) and various mysteries of the universe.
