Patrick & Lauren's Cancún Fiesta
Wedding Party
Jacqi Fifield
Mother of the Bride
After growing up in Southern CA and almost 30 years in Arizona, Jacqi "Mama Fife" moved to Portland in 2012 where you'll typically find her cycling, adventuring through the mountains, or finding new restaurants and wineries. She recently retired from Deloitte and is looking forward to rafting the Grand Canyon, skiing Oregon, and sipping margaritas on the beaches of Cancun! If you haven't met her yet, you'll quickly find out that Lauren is her mini-me.
Judy Waters
Mother of the Groom
Judy "GJ" spent all of her life in the Boston area raising her three children, Erika, Kirk and baby Pat. After retiring, she moved to Dallas where she loves being a full-time GJ (Grandma Judy) and spending time with her grandkids and their cousins. Approximately three years ago, Tommy came into GJ's life with some white hair, wet kisses, and four furry legs. The two of them are a match made in heaven! GJ can't wait for Pat and Lauren to officially move to Dallas and be so close!
Michael Fifield
Father of the Bride
Michael "Fike" Fifield recently retired as an Architecture Professor at the University of Oregon. He has his own architecture firm, Studio Domus, and specializes in minimal dwellings. He is a fantastic cook, an Army Veteran, a reigning foosball champion, and a season ticket holder at Hayward Field. Go Ducks! Growing up, Lauren loved traveling back and forth to see Michael when he lived in State College, PA, where he'd always take the girls to Lauren's favorite place, The Creamery.
Kirk Stockwood
Best Man
Kirk is 8 years older than Pat, but that has never stopped them from being the best of friends since Day 1. They grew up playing basketball together, they work in the same industry (when Kirk isn't being Lauren's business manager), and talk 4 to 20 times a day. The Stock bros share the same love for hoops, Zillow, HGTV, Iced Coffee, and driving their ladies bananas. Kirk lives in Dallas with his hot wife, Marisa, their two kids, Alex and Evan, their pup Izzy baby, and has successfully recruited Pat & Co. to join their Dallas Dynasty.
Satoko Motouji
STEP-MOTHER OF THE BRIDE
Satoko is a professional artist, specializing in watercolor and ink paintings, and has been part of the Fifield family for over 15 years. She's originally from Kyoto, Japan but has lived in the States for over 40 years, and had spent her summers in Siena, Italy teaching painting classes. She currently lives in Eugene, OR with Michael Fifield and is very active and social. Lauren and Satoko enjoy playing games together, even though Satoko acts like she doesn't know how to play and then pulls out the W! ;)
Marisa Stockwood
CEREMONIAL SINGER
Inducted into the Stockwood family in '07, "Purd" has been the best sister-in-law to Pat and has allowed him to crash with them for many months at a time. She's given Lauren all the insights on how to deal with these crazy Stockwood guys and to not take offense when they spend more time on Zillow than with them. Purd is an extremely talented singer, works in Real Estate, and has raised Alex and Evan to be amazing young men. Lauren is looking forward to hanging more with her once they move to Dallas.
Erin Fifield
Maid of Honor
Big sis, "Fife 1.0", paved the way for Lauren on the mean streets of Tempe. After high school, she took off to Dartmouth and then on to the Peace Corps in Kyrgyzstan (next to Borat). Although thought of as polar opposites, they enjoy watching reruns of Schitt's Creek, playing sports, quoting Chris Farley, and puzzling to the wee hours. Fife 1.0 now lives in Eugene with Gussos' cousin, Lobo, works in local government, and is teaching Stock and Fife how to play Pickleball.
Alex Stockwood
Groomsman
Alex is Pat's oldest nephew and the latest of the crew to have big dreams on the basketball court. Entering middle school next fall, Alex spends most of his days getting buckets, holding planks until Kirk is content, playing 2K and calling Uncle Pat to help calm Kirk/dad down after games. Alex loves Steph Curry and Tom Brady, being Lauren's Spades partner, has a swag shoe collection, and has seen the Patriots play in Dallas, San Francisco and Foxboro.
Tori Palenske
Bridesmaid
Tori is Lauren's younger cousin by 15 years but has always been like a little sister to her. Tori was born and raised in Orange County where Lauren would love visiting growing up and eventually, Lauren moved nearby in 2009 and even moved in with Tor and the fam for a few months. Tori is a phenomenal dancer, specializing in contemporary, a Disney lover, and is a Sophomore at San Diego State University studying Kinesiology as Lauren did. Although they're miles apart now, they always meet back up at the inevitable "kid's table" during family holidays.
Evan Stockwood
Groomsman
"Evie Buckets" or "Evos" is Patrick's youngest nephew and mini-me. There are some people out there still requesting a paternity test. ;) Evos was born in Arizona but has grown up in Dallas majority his life. He loves hanging with his friends and building legos, and absolutely crushes it at video games, football and drawing. He has a big heart, wins the ladies over, enjoys spending time with his cousins and is a great "big bro" to his pup, Izzy girl.
Katie Chacon
Matron of Honor
"Griff" and Fife met in high school playing on Arizona’s premier soccer club and became besties traveling for tournaments, having water balloon fights down hotel hallways, eating fear factor worms, and barely making it out of Hawaii. Griff got a full ride to CU Boulder, played on the U21 National team and also semi-professionally. Throughout their soccer careers, they would come home to AZ, train together along with Griff's boyfriend, Allan (now husband), and naturally beat all the guys in beer pong. Griff and Allan have moved back to Scottsdale and have two amazing boys, Luca Cruz and Jaxson Griffin, who just adore Aunt Fife and especially "Aunt" Patrick.
Daren Alix
OFFICIANT & GROOMSMAN
Daren “Nad” Alix came into Patrick’s life about 25 years ago when he went to Merrimack College to play basketball and became teammates and roommates with Kirk. Little did Nad know, he was inheriting a younger brother. There wasn't a day that went by that the guys didn't come to the Stockwood house or Pat didn't go to Merrimack to hang, and there isn't a year that goes by now that these guys don't find a way to meet up. Nad currently lives in Tampa Bay with his lovely wife, Andrea, chasing after their three kiddos, and somehow still finds time to make ridiculous memories with Pat year after year.
Kelly Collins
Bridesmaid
Meeting at ASICS in 2013, Kelly "Cindyyy" and Lauren quickly became besties over margs, fries and gossiping about guys. They’ve adventured the world together, getting in scooter accidents in Thailand, zip-lining in Mexico, sunset boat cruises at the river, tapas bars in Vegas (no, not topless bars, Terry!), and happy-houring it up in Austin. Once Pattos arrived in CA, the three musketeers united, where you can find these Cindy's getting thier asses handed to them at the track by Coach Collins, having game nights, or hanging with the rest of the Collins clan! Kelly lives down the street in Costa Mesa, and in 2016, she and her sister, Lauren Reid, started their thriving fitness company, SISSFiT.
Chris Vetrano
Groomsman
Chris "Chooch" "BTSD" Vetrano and Patrick met at basketball camp when they were young boys with big dreams of being superstars. From that day forward they have been best buds, card partners, hoops teammates, roommates and everything in between. Growing up, Patrick spent many moons at the Vetranos house, and still drools over the thought of Patty's chicken cutlets. The second Patrick realized Chooch was serious about his gf (now fiancé, Scully), Patrick went out hunting and found Lauren so they wouldn't miss a beat together. Chooch and Scully live in Charlestown with Chooch's brother, Greg and their gooood boy, Otis!
Amber Vauthier
Bridesmaid
"Amber Alert" and Lauren first met at ASICS in 2010. Soon after, they became roommates and eventually pushed two queen beds into one room, because they were in their 20s and why not?! Over their 5 years as roomies, they traveled all over from Costa Rica, NYC, London, Paso, Boston, Dallas and Paris, and managed to get a 'missing persons report' filed by their parents to the London Police after missing their flights home (Lauren's mom had just watched Taken for the first time). Amber now lives in Reno, NV with her boyfriend Cameron. They enjoy going to Burning Man each year, lived in Bali for a year prior to COVID, and are looking to get a pup for their new home.
David Fazio
Groomsman
Patrick has known “Coach”, "Faz", "Dawg" since he was a wee lad. As a kid, Pat went to all of Coach's basketball games, attended his summer camps, played for him in high school, and has always looked up to him like a father. Even after moving away, Pat comes home each summer to work Coach's camps and has brought Lauren back to see the magic of Hooptown. Over 20 years later, they talk several times a week and Patrick helps calm Coach down after any rough games. Faz lives in Andover with his wife Colleen, recently celebrated his 30th year of coaching at Andover High and has three grown children, DJ, Ally and Olivia.
Erin Martinez-Suarez
Bridesmaid
Erin and Lauren first met playing Russian Roulette of roommates in CA, as they had never met prior. Shortly after moving into Babs' rental, they were belly laughing each night and Erin was teaching Lauren how to cook something other than mac n cheese. After living together for three years, Erin moved about 30 min. away and they'd meet up regularly for BDubs, happy hour or wine nights. Erin is now killing it as a sales rep in the medical tech and pharm industry, living in Chicago with her husband, Humberto, their daughter, Sofía, and their two pups, Turkey and Pumkin where Lauren tries to visit each year.
Gerry Corcoran
Groomsman
"Ger-Bear" grew up 45 min. from Pat in the Boston area, but happened to play on the same club basketball team as Chooch, and by way, ran in the same circles. In college, Gerry transferred to Merrimack to play basketball like Kirk and Nad had, and post college, lived with Pat for several years in their 20s. Ger-Bear has lived in LA, Boston, months on a tour bus, and there's not a single place you go where someone doesn't know and love him. Gerry now lives in Dorchester, MA with his sweet rescue pup, GG. P.S. Although Gerry went to a different high school than Pat and Chooch, let it be known, Gerry scored 10 more points than Chooch in high school.
Sarah Charlton
Bridesmaid
"Sarah Brown" and Lauren became friends in high school (Tempe, AZ) and soon met back up in college where Sarah studied for a semester closeby at Michigan State. They stayed besties over the years spending summers at the pool and happy hours at Postinos. In 2016, Lauren's job, ASICS, sent them to Chamonix, France where Sarah ran a relay race with several professional athletes around Mt. Blanc, followed by adventures in Switzerland and the French Riviera. Sarah Brown now lives in Mesa with her husband, Ryan, their two sweet boys, Jordy and Ellis, their pup, Aiden, and their rescue cats, Meowtooth and Gertie.
Chris Brouillard
Groomsman
Chris is one of Pat's craziest, funniest friends that will do anything for his crew. They originally met in middle school playing church league ball where Chris had chest hair at the age of 10 and continued to be best of friends in high school. It was hard to be Chris' friend growing up since he was the best-looking chap around, an aspiring Abercrombie model, the best athlete, and definitely the best driver. But Pat managed. Chris went on to Bentley College where he met his gorgeous wife, Diana, and they now live in Westwood, MA with their two daughters, Juliana and Alana, and their pup, Brady girl.
Becky Galiskis
Bridesmaid
Becky is Lauren's oldest friend having met at the age of 5 in elementary school. They played soccer together for Becky's dad's team, The Wildcats, for nearly 10 years and spent every Wednesday after school getting into shenanigans. They have been besties through just about every major life event, traveled to Paris and Aix-en-Provance together in high school, and have perfected dress-up bar crawls. In 2019, Becky hiked the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada, covering nearly 3,000 miles in 6 months where Lauren met her in Big Bear before she kept trekking north. Becky now works as a backcountry guide near Yosemite National Park.
Greg Vetrano
Groomsman
As Chooch's younger bro, "G" inherited, by default, a second older "brother" since Pat showed up at the Vetrano's house on the regular, especially around dinner time once he got a whiff of Patty Vetrano's Italian cooking. The boys all had a deep love for hoops where G also played for Coach at Andover and then went on to play in college at St. Anselm, but come back to hang and crash at the boys' house. G is now living part-time in Boston, part-time in NYC where he's chasing his dream, and has started his own clothing label, WILL-V which you will find Pat rocking on the daily.
Whitney Adams
Bridesmaid
Whit and Fife became friends on the Michigan soccer team, were roomies at Granger, were late to everything, and shared Lenore Rita Tomina's fake ID until Darren (Whit's boyfriend, now husband and baby daddy) snuck them into all the bars. After college, Whit and Darren were living in CA and told Fife she should move to the OC with them. Without hesitation, Fife packed up her car and left AZ behind. Shortly after, Whit and Darren had their baby bear, Tori Adams, where Lauren moved in for a bit and was Tori's first babysitter (surprisingly Tori is alive and well, phew). Whit and Darren now live in Chicago with Tori and their five-year-old son, Dillon.
Dan Litwer
Groomsman
Back in 2004, Pat met Litwer in Arizona as they were both interning for Stutz and Kirk at OMG (Orange Media Group) while barely making it by in college. The boys quickly became friends and turned their internships into full-time jobs at OMG for almost 8 years and made a little AZ crew with Smidge and Wild Bill. Dan, originally from Philly, now lives in Brooklyn with his lovely wife, Michelle and their dog Romeo. They are expecting their first child a week before the wedding, and we are currently taking bets if Litwer will be attending the wedding or not. Until then, Pat is still full from Litwer's cocktail hour at his wedding in 2018.
Lindsay Hablitzel
Bridesmaid
"Yakel" and Fife were college teammates, roommates, and sweatpant connoisseurs. Having had 6 knee surgeries prior to college, Yakel left Michigan Soccer without a scratch... besides the battle wounds they'd wake to from Ricks' dance floor. Yakel and Fife lived together at Benjamin House for two years, briefly shared a twin bed when Lauren's room was inhabitable and got Judy's (now) husband to do their Sport Management projects for them since they were dumb jocks. Yakel moved to Chicago after college where Fife visited regularly, and now lives in Annapolis, MD with her husband, Andy, their daughter Maryn, soon-to-be baby boy (due in May), and their Goldendoodle, Bear. Needless to say, Yakel and Andy cannot wait to chug margs come August.
Andrew Hanson
Groomsman
In 2009, Hanson and Gerry were bartending at Pat's favorite watering hole in Boston where Pat has yet to settle his tab. Luckily for Hanson, Pat will be buying allll the drinks he desires at the Hyatt Ziva this summer. As their lives took them to other states, Pat ended up in AZ while Hanson made his way out to San Diego and were the boys of the West Coast. Being a quick 4-hour drive away, they'd often visit each other or at least FaceTime almost every day while on the road. Hanson is married to the lovely wife, Abbie and has since moved back to Boston with their son Hunter, another baby boy expected in April and their pup, Chloe.
Jenn Fryer
Bridesmaid
Jenn and Lauren first met around 2014 through Erin Martinez-Suarez and other mutual friends in Costa Mesa. Running through the same circles, it wasn't until 2018 that Jenn and Lauren became close friends helping plan Erin's bachelorette party, wedding festivities and then her baby shower in 2020. With frequent happy hours, Cancun adventures, chambongs, job seeking, brunches and wine nights, they're always up to something! Jenn lives down the street in CM with her lil dog, Bill, and is currently launching a new athletic clothing line in LA. Now that Lauren will be moving, Jenn will be forced to meet Lauren back in Mexico year after year! ;)
