Lauren & Steven
Wedding Party
Megan O'Donnell
Maid of Honor
Megan is Lauren's older sister and best friend of almost 32 years (but who's counting??). She is the mother to two of the couple's favorite people in the world, Olivia and Jackson. If you attend this wedding, be prepared for her to assault you on the dance floor with moves that could only be compared to a wacky waving inflatable arm-flailing tube man at a car dealership.
Samantha Swartz
Bridesmaid
Sam has been Lauren's little sister for as long as she can remember. Some of Lauren's favorite memories with Sam include staying up all night watching movies, teaching her how to do her hair and use makeup (much to their parents chagrin) and visiting her at Boston College where she dragged Lauren to a Harvard fraternity party.
Andi Cross
Bridesmaid
Andi and Lauren met at the tender age of 22 within days of Lauren moving to New York City. Their connection was immediate and nine years, a lot of debauchery and a million Skittle Bombs later they are still going strong. They spent years as roommates in Stuytown where they threw a lot of pregames, ate a lot of late night Chinese food, watched a lot of horrible Queen Latifah movies and forced a lot "pirate shots" on their guests.
Amanda Prosky
Bridesmaid
Prosky is one of Lauren's (and now Steve's) closest friends. She wears many hats including therapist, brunch buddy, drunken selfie partner, and interior decorating consultant. Lauren and Steve enjoy hungover weekend FaceTime sessions with Amanda where they discuss their hopes, dreams and the terrible decisions they made the night before. PS - She designed our amazing Save the Dates so don't forget to compliment her when you see her!
Jaclyn Rothenberg
Bridesmaid
Jaclyn AKA J-Ro AKA Jackalope and Lauren became friends in NYC six years ago. Within that time, they have shared two apartments, a million laughs, a few tears and countless bottles of wine. Jaclyn is an odd bird and one of Lauren's favorite people to laugh with (and at). Jaclyn's obsessions include marshmallow peeps, lobster, competitive Skee-Ball, succulent plants, Century 21 and pickles.
Nadia Ahmadein
Bridesmaid
Nadia was one of Lauren's first friends at Warner Bros. five years ago where they quickly started referring to themselves as "work wives." They sat in neighboring cubicles and made a habit of murdering popular songs very quickly much to their surrounding coworkers' dismay. Nadia's passions include Disney World, her adorable two cats, and traveling.
Erin Durkin
Bridesmaid
Erin is one of Lauren's closest friends and a fellow publicist at Warner Bros. Whether they are working a red carpet or out on the town dancing, Erin and Lauren always have the best time. If you want to make Erin happy bring her a spicy tequila drink and/or a grilled cheese!
Janet Young
Bridesmaid
Janet is a Warner Bros. alum who broke Lauren's heart when she left the world of public relations to mold the minds of the future as a teacher -- lucky kids! Janet is an aspiring Bachelorette contestant and Olympics enthusiast. It is not recommended to enter into a dance contest with her as the girl has got rhythm - especially if Justin Timberlake is on.
Justin McCarthy
Best Man
As Steve's brother since he was twelve years old, Justin has seen Steve through middle school, high school and Seton Hall University where they lived together for four years. Justin is responsible for helping to mold Steve into who he is for better or worse. Worse being Steve's futile love for the NY Jets.
Matt Rowe
Groomsman
Matt and Steve were set up as random roommates in Hoboken in 2010 and have been best "frenemies" ever since. Matt's likes include Chinese food, canned light beer, mediocre pizza (in large quantities), Star Wars, random trinkets, and boardwalk games. Matt's dislikes include the beach, Amy Poehler, NYC, Amazon Prime, dogs, and cold cheese.
Brennan Elio
Groomsman
Brennan is one of Steve's best friends and fraternity brothers from Seton Hall University. Their relationship got off to a rocky start as Brennan was responsible for some of the tougher nights of hazing during the pledge process; However, love wins, and their mutual love of light beer, sports, and reality TV helped bring them to a form a special bond that has lasted many years.
Jeff Musillo
Groomsman
Jeff and Steve met in the fifth grade, when he tricked Steve into believing he was in trouble for hitting him in the back. Steve folded like a lawn chair at this threat and began pleading for forgiveness. After a day of his endless blubbering Jeff finally let him on the joke, and they have been best friends ever since.
Luke Anshelewitz
Groomsman
Luke is 12 years old and already has his eyes set on becoming the next Shaquille O'Neal. Luke aspires to play for the Celtics and wants to become the second ever NBA player/rapper/actor.
CJ Anshelewitz
Groomsman
Chad Joseph is the oldest of Steve and Lauren's nephews. Steve first laid eyes on him as a Junior in high school was instantly obsessed. CJ is funnier, smarter, and more handsome than Steve could ever wish to be and we are all pretty sure he is only a few moves away from total world domination.
Jake Will
Groomsman
Jake is one of Steve's closest friends from Seton Hall University and instantly became one of his closest confidants while they endured the torture that is the fraternity pledge process. Jake is passionate fan of lean proteins, Ohio State anything, alcohol (any), and old reruns of "Star Trek".
Tim Curran
Groomsman
Tim and Steve are close friends from their days at Seton Hall University - they even shared a house for a year after college. Tim is a man of many passions including swimming, video gaming, and bourbon drinking. However, the most intense fire that burns within Tim's soul is his unrequited love for the 1989 Patrick Swayze classic "Roadhouse," which led to him becoming a bouncer at Bar Anticipation in Belmar, NJ for 18 minutes.
