Wedding Party
Amber Willetts
Bride
Hi! I’m Amber, the very excited bride-to-be marrying Lauren. I work as a project manager with a background in finance, which probably explains my love for staying organized and planning just about everything. Outside of work, I’m happiest traveling and chasing new adventures — I’ve been lucky enough to visit 47 countries so far! I feel so grateful to celebrate this day with the people I love most and can’t wait to start married life with Lauren.
Lauren Meyer
Bride
Hi, I’m Lauren, and I am beyond happy and excited as the bride-to-be, marrying my best friend Amber. We’ve been together for over eight years, and we’re both so thrilled to finally bring this wedding to life. I have a background in social work, but over the years I’ve found my true passion as a childcare director, a role I deeply love. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling on cruises, fishing, seashell hunting, and of course, anything Halloween. I’m so grateful to celebrate our wedding surrounded by our family and friends, and I can’t wait to begin this next chapter of married life with Amber.
Rachel Paradizzo
Maid of Honor
Hey everyone! I’m Rachel Paradizzo, and a fun fact about me is that I absolutely love to cook — I’m always trying new recipes and finding excuses to feed the people I love. I met Amber at summer camp back in 2010, when we ended up lending each other clothes for the end-of-summer dance — and we’ve basically been inseparable ever since. Growing up, our summers were filled with hanging out, playfully bullying each other, pranking unsuspecting people, and absolutely dominating card games. Seriously… don’t challenge us to a round of Spit. You will lose. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of watching each other grow into the strong, confident women we are today, and I’m beyond grateful to call Amber one of my closest friends. I truly want nothing but the best for her, and it makes me so happy to see her find that happiness and love with Lauren. 💛
Julia Schast
Maid of Honor
Hi, I’m Julia, Lauren’s first cousin. In many ways, we grew up feeling like sisters living in different houses. Except Lauren had one thing that my allergies prevented: pets. To this day, Lauren still has more furbabies, but I now get to fall asleep every night with 2 sweet dogs by my side. Although adulthood can come with such miraculous developments, some things never change—like the unbreakable bond forged by mine and Lauren’s shared history. No number of years or miles apart can lessen the love we cousins hold for one another in our hearts. I am so grateful to help Lauren and Amber celebrate their union as two families now becoming one.
Ashley Rankin

I feel deeply honored to be part of my aunt’s wedding day and to stand beside her as she begins this new chapter. Life hasn’t always given us endless time together, but the moments we have shared have been powerful and unforgettable, leaving lasting impressions on me. I have always looked up to Amber and admired her fun, vibrant spirit, along with her resilience, warmth, and unwavering love for family. Watching her find a partner who matches her love and energy means the world to me, and I couldn’t be happier to celebrate their beautiful forever. 💖
Katie Aloisi

Hi, I’m Katie! Lauren and I are cousins, so I’ve known her pretty much her whole life. We’ve shared so many memories, holidays, and I have had the honor of getting to know Lauren and Amber as a couple over the years. Career-wise, I’m a clinical psychologist, working at a psychiatric hospital with children and adolescents. A little fun fact about me is that I was born on Valentine’s Day! I’m looking forward to helping Lauren and Amber celebrate their love on their special day!

Heather Gromlich
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Heather(aka Heath Bar). I met Lauren during her freshman and my sophomore year of college while playing intramural soccer. We quickly became friends and later roommates. Even though Lauren was a social work major, she shared the same passion as me: working with kids. Although we haven’t spent much time together since graduating, we’ve stayed in touch, and I’m honored to stand by her on her wedding day. I currently work as an Elementary Autistic Support Teacher, and a fun fact is: Lauren and my friendship has always included plenty of laughs and a shared love of pickles.
Danielle Perry
Bridesmaid
Hi! Im Danielle, and I met Amber and Lauren at a family Christmas gathering. I remember meeting Lauren and Amber for the first time and we all instantly got along so well that we would hang out all the time after Christmas. Ever since that day I also gained Amber as a sister and Lauren as my family too. I work for spectrum assisting small/medium businesses with internet, cable and phone issues. My favorite things to do in my free time is listen to all kinds of music, do some art, play games and spend time with friends/family. I can’t wait to be by Amber and Lauren’s side for their big day!
Emily Povlich
Bridesmaid
Hi, I’m Emily! I know Lauren from college, we both were in the social work department. We also worked at dorney Park Haunt together for many years. I scared her in the parking lot one night and we became fast friends. I work in veterinary medicine and love it. My fun fact is I am a jack of all trades crafter. I do crochet, sewing, stain glass and cricut.
Mackenzie Butera
Bridesmaid
My name is Mackenzie Butera. I met Amber over 10 years ago at sleep away camp. We have many fond memories from there. Despite not going to school together we have remained friends over the years. Time may pass but whenever we are together I feel like I’m right back at camp with not a worry in the world. A good friend is hard to come by. I’m so beyond excited to stand by one of my best friends as she marries her ultimate best friend.
Ryan Meyer
Bridesman
Hey everyone, I’m Ryan, Lauren’s brother. Growing up together was never a dull moment, we’ve shared so many great memories. From countless soccer games, trips to the Jersey shore, playing Midnight Club on the PlayStation, to catching frogs in our pond across the street are just a few moments I fondly look back on. Like any brother and sister, we bumped heads but as we got older, I loved seeing the person she’s become and am very proud of her journey. As for me, I’m a pretty normal 26 year old guy. I enjoy watching sports, listening to music, traveling and finding hidden gems at thrift stores. I’m also a foodie, I like to dine at restaurants that offer a unique culinary experience and most importantly, I love spending quality time with friends and family. I currently work in the auto industry and have aspirations to learn a trade in the future. I wish nothing but the best for her and Amber as they begin this new chapter of marriage!

Hi! I’m Amber’s niece and the flower girl! I’m four years old and love playing pretend with my baby dolls, being a doctor, and making silly “drink recipes” in the bathtub. I love dressing up and can’t wait to throw petals down the aisle for my Aunt Amber and Aunt Lauren on their big day!
