Lauren & Dan
Wedding Party
Elise
Matron of Honor
Elise and I met in our sorority at Towson where we spent many nights in drinking wine and singing Lion King karaoke really badly.
Greg
Best Man
- Greg earned the nickname "The Golden Child" growing up learning from my frequent mistakes and rarely getting into trouble - Although we have different personalities, Greg and I mesh really well together. He is my favorite brother, someone I turn to for advice regularly and he also has the best playlists on Spotify
Kristie
Matron of Honor
We met in an art class junior year of high school where we were grouped with another girl we for sure thought could beat us up. We bonded over the need to become her friend in order to keep our teeth.
Matt
Groomsman
- Matt and I are double cousins (yes, look it up). Growing up 6 months apart, we did virtually everything together. He is my longest tenured beer pong partner - Matt's claim to fame will always be taking Olympic figure skater, Kimmie Meissner, to prom
Chelsea
Bridesmaid
Despite playing field hockey together in middle and high school, Chels and I didn't really become close until we worked at Enterprise together. If you haven't already done so, we recommend checking out the "Things I Learned at Enterprise" Facebook page if you're curious to how lovely that period of time was.
Shawn
Groomsman
- Shawn is my oldest friend. He was the class clown growing up and is still the funniest person I know - Shawn met his wife, Mary, while visiting me at work. Before I knew it, he had applied to work there, was engaged and had moved away with her to NC. It happened so fast, I never got the chance to throw him a bachelor party (which he still reminds me of today)
Mel
Bridesmaid
While we went to high school together, Mel and I didn't become close until after graduating. She is my go-to for all Target trips and also the worst influence on my bank account.
Joe
Groomsman
- Although we attended school together, it wasn't until Joe invited me to come visit during Mardi Gras that our friendship really took off. Just about all of my memories post college involve Joe - I know that I can count on Joe to help keep me cool and collected as we count down to wedding day (and feed me shots of Makers Mark)
Anthony
Groomsman
- Anthony (aka Camm) and I met while working at Acme grocery store in high school and instantly became close even though we attended rival schools - Anthony is an incredible athlete and will always be the first person I call whenever I need a sub for any of my intramural sports team
Steph
Bridesmaid
Obviously Steph and I met because I was dating Dan, but the first time I met Steph was at Waltz Inn and I don't remember it. Thankfully I made a good impression and I now try to stay away from jello shots.
Chris
Groomsman
- Chris and I were neighbors for practically our entire lives. In addition to growing up across from each other as kids, we lived on the same street during college - Chris is the best planner and the most organized of all my friends. I'm constantly asking for Chris' recommendations whether it comes to cars, real estate, finance or just about anything else
Lee
Groomsman
- Lee and I met in second grade after being paired together to build a volcano replica out of paper mache. We also started a band that weekend called the Skeletons - Lee is a man of many talents. He helped me build a deck, was the DJ at my 30th birthday party and also holds a patent
Meg
Bridesmaid
I have to give my brother credit for bringing Meg into my life, as she is a gem and I question daily how David got so lucky. Also, they made my super cute nephew, Hughie.
Dave
Groomsman
- I never thought I would meet someone who enjoyed a good party more than me until I met Lauren's brother, Dave - "Shotgunnin" Natty Lights and "Doing a Duck" are always encouraged whenever visiting Dave's. While never a good influence on the wallet, he's always down for a good time and I know he'll be one of the first ones to hit the dance floor
Hughie
Ring Bearer
The cutest Ring Bearer in the history of weddings. No, we are not biased. Facts are facts.
