Wedding Party
Courtney V
Maid of Honour
Courtney is Lauren's little sister and built-in best friend. From childhood memories to life's biggest milestones, she has been there through it all. Lauren had the privilege of standing beside Courtney as her Maid of Honour, and now it's time to finally reverse roles!
Courtney K
Bridesmaid
Courtney has been an important part of Lauren's life for over 20 years. From day one, they've been cousins - no "step", just family. Over the years, that bond has grown into a irreplaceable friendship. Confidante, fellow wine lover and Bravo fanatic. Lauren is so grateful to have her a part of this special day.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma and Lauren have been best friends for 17 years, since high school. They ended up living 500 metres apart during their post-secondary years in Toronto, which made their bond even stronger. Lauren recently had the honour of being Emma’s Maid of Honour, and she’s so grateful to have Emma be a part of this day.
Abigail
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Abigail have been best friends for 17 years, since the first week of grade nine. Her and Lauren have been through everything together - from teenage years, to young adulthood, and now into their thirties. She is one of the most important people in Lauren’s life, and the wedding day wouldn’t be the same without her.
Carly
Co-Bridesmaid
Carly is really the reason this wedding is even happening! She started as one of Calvin’s best friends in university, and later became a co-worker and good friend of Lauren’s. Using her matchmaking skills, she set up their first date and the rest is history! Now the couple enjoys spending many date nights (at the Bulldog, of course) with Carly and her husband Matt. It only makes sense she serves as a member of both wedding parties.
Matt
Groomsman
Matt and Calvin met at a halloween party where Matt mistakenly thought he was Phil Kessel. Since then, you can often hear Calvin say that Matt is the funniest person he has ever met. With countless weekends spent hanging out together in Oshawa, Calvin was always glad Matt would talk him into staying one more night. Having helped play matchmaker with his wife Carly, Calvin is extremely grateful to Matt and is honoured to have him in his wedding party.
Mike
Groomsman
Mike is one of Calvin's longest friendships, being more like brothers. From travelling the world, to living together throughout university and when Calvin moved back to the area. Seldom would you see one without the other, causing nicknames such as Bert and Ernie, and countless jokes of the two being secret lovers. Mike has always been right by Calvin's side so it's only right that he should be beside him during this big step as well.
Michael
Groomsman
Calvin and Michael met while living in Ottawa where they developed a lasting friendship. Michael became a big part of Calvin's life, spending lots of time together and even encouraging him to go into sales. They lived together for a short period of time, which has been the highlight of Michael's life. Michael now lives in Fergus, but they always make time to see each other throughout the year. Calvin is grateful and excited to have him as a groomsman.
Christian
Groomsman
Calvin and Christian have been best friends since childhood, and spent so much time together that Calvin would join Christian and his family on vacations. The two spent countless hours golfing, skiing, playing video games, and destroying Christian's parent’s basement with airsoft guns. Christian has always been someone Calvin can confide in and is excited to have him back in the area, and part of his wedding day.
Lakelyn, Paige and Emma
Flower Girls
Lauren and Calvin's beautiful nieces will join our special day. They are excited to take on the role of flower girls, especially getting to dress up and walk down the aisle.
Violet
Flower Girl
Another special niece to join the day, who brings so much joy and light to "Uncle Cal" and "Auntie Lauren"s lives.
Aiden, Kohen, Wes & Brody
Ring Bearers
Lauren and Calvin's nephews will proudly serve as ring bearers, bringing even more love (and a little extra charm!) down the aisle.
Jack and Grayson
Ring Bearers
Loved like Lauren and Calvin's own nephews - Jack and Grayson are also proudly taking on the role of ring bearers!
Michael
Usher
Though he's grown past the ring bearer stage, Michael holds a special place in Lauren and Calvin's life. Serving as an usher is the perfect way to include someone who feels more like a nephew.
Blake
Usher
Blake is Lauren's (not so little anymore) step-brother and will be serving as a handsome usher for the day. Lauren and Calvin are grateful to have him included in such a special moment!
Molly
Master of Ceremony
Molly is Lauren's younger cousin and has been a part of her life for over 20 years. Watching her grow up has been such a gift, and having her as the Master of Ceremonies makes the day extra special!
Ladies of Honour
Abby, Holly, Vic, Erin, Dom & Jordan
A group of incredibly important women in Lauren's life who have shaped her story in meaningful ways. Though not part of the bridal party processional, their friendship will be honoured and celebrated throughout the day.
