Lauren & Sean
Wedding Party
Jasmine Sanders
Maid of Honor
Lauren and Jasmine met in 6th grade and have been inseparable ever since! When Lauren met Sean she said there are four people who have to like you: my mom, my dad, my brother, and Jasmine. Safe to say Sean is Jasmine approved!
Jeff Urbano
Best Man
Jeff and Sean met back in 2010 as Sean graduated high school. From days spent at the MN State Hockey Tournament to the beaches of Mazatlan and everywhere in between, the memories are endless. More often than not you can find them fishing - no matter the weather - and fixing the world's problems with a pile of bottle bass.
Maddie Krpan
Matron of Honor
Friends since 2nd grade (actually, we hated each other back then!), Maddie and Lauren have spent years of their friendship separated by states, countries, and oceans but have found a way to make time for coffee dates and long overdue catch-ups!
Billy Raible
Groomsman
Sean met Billy not by choice, well at least not his own choice. Billy is Sean's younger brother by nearly 7 years, and while the first few years were rocky as Sean begged their parents to get rid of the noisy child, things have since gotten better. A bond built through sports and strengthened through Saint John's, Sean couldn't be happier to have a (not so) little brother now.
Abby Hegarty
Bridesmaid
Abby and Lauren met in law school. Now the two are known around their office and law school as the trial twins! Sean hates (but really loves) how they can read each other's minds and, more often than not, end up in matching outfits or suits.
Will Selby
Groomsman
When Sean first met Lauren, he knew there was a list of people he had to have approval from. One of the most important was Will, Lauren's younger brother. While Will has spent a lot of time in California pursuing his dream of drumming, Sean has been able to get to know him through holidays and Will's visits to Colorado. Will has since become a second brother to Sean.
Laurel Ruesch
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Laurel lived in a house together in college, but didn't become friends until months after Laurel had moved out. We met up one day for pizza and beer and six hours later could not stop talking! The rest is wine-travel-book-podcast filled history!
Alex Smisek
Groomsman
Alex, known as Smeesh because Alex doesn't suit him to those that know him well, met Sean at Saint John's as well. Junior year came along, and with side by side apartments (with a lakefront view!) the party never stopped. Now, a trip home to Minnesota isn't complete without an evening at Surly with Smeesh.
Molly Billion
Bridesmaid
Lauren responded to Molly's Facebook post looking for a roommate in a house in Dinkytown, and it turned out Molly wasn't a serial killer! The two have shared bear crawls home from the bar (don't ask), girls trips, too many laughs and glasses of wine to count, and a love for all things true crime.
Patrick Foley
Groomsman
Sean and Pat officially met during their sophomore year in Collegeville. After that, they lived in the same apartment for two years hosting all sorts of respectable gatherings. Through a bit of luck (and maybe fate) they were reunited when Lauren and Sean moved to Denver. You can often find them sitting on the couch with their arms around each other drinking Irish Cream
Becca Barrea
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Becca were roommates for a year in college and quickly bonded over a love for cuddles and coffee, emus (if you know, you know) and all-you-can-eat sushi. Sometimes, you just need a Becca in your life, and Lauren sure needed one!
Mickey Mendoza
Groomsman
Mickey and Sean really became close in their final year at Saint John's. From Wednesday Big Mugs at Sal's to a friendly competition celebrating their birthday, Sean knew he always had a willing co-conspirator in Mickey. While his Bourbon Street house maybe wasn't the best location to host Mom Prom, it was perfect for watching Miracle or Frozen after bar close.
Melissa Charron
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Melissa lived down the hall from each other in the freshmen dorms, then in a house on campus that really should have been condemned, and later in Uptown. Melson, as Sean nicknamed her, was around for the very beginning of it all!
Jay Zachman
Groomsman
Sean and Jay met freshman year, and were neighbors sophomore year. Junior year came and saw the two of them get an apartment with Pat and Justin. That group helped each other through lots of ups and downs during their time living together, and a lifelong friendship was set in stone. As a wise man once said, that's the way she goes boys.
Ruby Crews
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Ruby both walked into a law school BBQ and sat next to each other because they were alone and both had curly hair! After a very fast moment of bonding over My Favorite Murder, people thought they'd known each other forever, and the rest was history!
Preston Capps
Groomsman
Preston and Sean became very close their junior year. Similar to Pat, Sean and Preston were reunited when Sean and Lauren moved to Denver. Preston completes the group of four, now housemates, and has developed a banter with Lauren that only the two of them can keep up with!
Hannah Rosencrantz
Attendant
Hannah and Lauren shared a room at the U of M. She was the first person to hear about Sean! Lauren came back from her first day of work, Hannah asked if she had met any cute boys, and Lauren replied "I think I met who I am going to marry!" (Yes, that person was Sean or this would be very awkward!). Hannah later told Sean if he hurt Lauren... well... he just better not!
Ryan Jagdeo
Usher
Lauren and Ryan met in 9th grade. Lauren sat down next to him at a band concert, he told her they were going to be best friends, and for the first month she thought his name was Brian (oops!). Ryan has literally never approved of a guy Lauren dated, until now! Much to Lauren's chagrin, Ryan and Sean are now constantly planning their next golf trip and comparing new bourbons.
Ali Murphy
Attendant
Ali saved Lauren from being the only girl in the family and THANK GOD! As the only two girls amongst the 8 cousins, these two have to stick together!
Nathan Gonzales
Usher
Sean met Nathan through Lauren while she was in her first year of law school and Denver. At first, it was mostly Sean being dragged to happy hours with people he didn't know who were talking about things he didn't care about it. But as time went on, a shared love of soccer and a desire to be respectable on a golf course created a friendship that was solidified over countless beers watching the Premier League and on the course.
Madi Yueill
Attendant
Madi and Lauren have been friends since they were four!? Five!? Basically for forever, either way. They've come a long way from sharing snacks at halftime on the soccer field to now sharing bottles of wine and plates of sushi!
