Who's Who?

Zoe Carroll

Maid of Honor

Zoe is Lauren's closest cousin - literally! She and Lauren were born six days apart and were close as children. Life has taken them in different directions, but there isn't anyone else Lauren would want standing with her on her big day!

Raeanne O'Day

Bridesmaid

Raeanne and Lauren met {officially} at the auditions for Lake Central’s fall show during their freshman year. They have gone through a lot together, and though they’ve been separated, they can always find time to talk and catch up, just like old times!

Cathryn Cearing

Bridesmaid

Cat and Lauren have known each other since before Cat was even born, and by a stroke of luck, they both ended up in theatre in high school! They’ve grown up to become their own person, but they can always find time to talk about feminism and psychology over a cup of coffee.

Megan Magdziarz

Bridesmaid

Megan and Lauren have known each other since the sixth grade, when Lauren moved back to Northwest Indiana. They also both lived in Tampa for a year, and Lauren spent her twenty-first birthday with Megan! Geeking out over Stranger Things and anything by Studio Ghibli is their favorite pastime!

Kate Genovese

Bridesmaid

Kate is Joseph's sister and Lauren's future sister-in-law. They've bonded over wine, weekends at Purdue, and trying to {unsuccessfully} convince Kate and Joe's mom to get a dog.

Nicole Madalon

Mother of the Bride

Nicole is Lauren’s favorite person in the world {well, maybe second-favorite if you count her brother, Declan}. She has taught Lauren to be a strong woman who isn’t afraid to give her opinion and use her voice to change the world, and there is no greater lesson in life for a woman than that. Lauren also wishes to say that she misses their daily adventures to Michaels, and she loves her momma very dearly.

Robert Basting

Father of the Bride

There's some discrepancy over whether Bob has known Lauren her entire life. Still, he was her first softball coach and one of her first swimming refs, and without him, she wouldn't have been able to throw a base/softball better than Joe. Lauren’s favorite memories of her dad are the Father/Daughter dances for Valentine’s Day that they used to attend for Girl Scouts. Love you, Dad!

Tyler Knelle

Best Man

Alec Hitterman

Groomsman

Claudia Genovese

Mother of the Groom

Ed Genovese

Father of the Groom

Caleb Basting

Usher

Lauren was close to being an only child, until someone had to ruin it all.... These two have had to stick together in the past couple of years as they remain the only Basting children still living in the fields and marshes of Indiana. Although they’re polar opposites, Lauren wishes all the best for her brother and hopes to be closer in the future.

Amy Basting

Flower Girl

The more fabulous of the Basting sisters, Amy was the sister Lauren always wanted. A smart, sociable fashionista, Amy is the life of any party and can quickly make friends in any group. She also constantly reminded Lauren that a wedding wouldn’t plan itself, so Big Sister would like to thank Little Sister in her encouragements.
