Lauren & Patrick
Meet Our Tribe
Lauren
Bride
Lauren is a tea-drinking, wine-loving, Jesus-following part-time photographer. She is working to build her photography business and is the volunteer music leader at the church she and Patrick attend. Lauren is sarcastic and passionate, and prides herself on her extensive knowledge of Friends quotes. Lauren enjoys Parks and Rec, cheap white wine in coffee mugs, candles, and scrolling Pinterest in her spare time.
Patrick
Groom
Patrick is a coffee-drinking, Lord of the Rings-watching, pun-loving Clark County deputy. He loves his work but loves his family more. When he can, Patrick attends church with Lauren on Sundays and on their days off, Patrick loves to go on sushi dates and adventures with her. Patrick is loyal, selfless, and goofy. He is full of "dad jokes" and terrible puns, and likes to watch Parks and Rec, be outside, and drink Sam Adams on his days off.
Kelly
Maid of Honor
Lauren and Kelly met playing soccer their freshman year of high school and have been inseparable since. Lauren has countless memories with Kelly and is so grateful for her undying friendship. Through high school boyfriends, college distance, major life changes, and the ups and downs of growing up, Lauren credits Kelly with being her goofiest, truest, and most loyal friend.
Kevin
Best Man
Patrick met Kevin in the Army and they chose to live together, knowing they were the only two clean freaks in the platoon. After two years of living together and many trying and hilarious experiences in the Army, the two knew they would be close for a very long time. When the couple decided to get married, Patrick knew right away that he would ask Kevin would be his best man. Patrick considers Kevin to be his closest and most reliable friend, and considers him a brother.
Miriam
Bridesmaid
During her junior year of college, Lauren was in search of a roommate and was growing desperate. Miriam sat behind Lauren in choir and agreed to live with Lauren after she turned around and asked Miriam out of the blue one day. They only lived together for one semester, but they have been close ever since. Lauren has so many fond and hilarious memories with Miriam and is so grateful for her unassuming friendship and constant support.
Isaac
Groomsman
Isaac is Lauren's baby brother and they just knew they couldn't do this without him! Isaac has an infectious laugh, a witty sense of humor, and a tender-heart buried under 10 tons of sarcasm. Patrick is excited to have Isaac as his brother and Isaac knew Patrick was "the one" when Patrick made him belly laugh the first time they met. The couple is super jealous that Isaac lives in Hawaii, but is grateful to have a place to crash when they visit the island.
Megan
Bridesmaid
Lauren met Meg in college when she stayed in Lauren's dorm room during a college visit and Lauren was.... well let's just say Lauren isn't the best at first impressions! They reconnected while they were knees deep in the complexities of social science degrees and have been close ever since. Lauren calls Meg her soul sister and credits her with helping Lauren get through one of the hardest years of her life. Megan and Lauren have been roommates, classmates, and sisters for four years.
Brenton
Groomsman
Brenton came into the couple's lives when he began dating Lauren's friend, Megan. As soon as Lauren and Patrick met Brent, they knew he'd be around for a while! Brenton may be the tallest person in any room, but he is also the sweetest and most generous. Though Brent has not been around as long as the other members of the bridal party, he is just as important to the couple as the rest. They know they will be married besties with Megan and Brenton for a long time!
