Wedding Party
Lauren
Bride
I love a snack, a book, and quality time with loved ones! I'm so excited to spend our wedding day enjoying two out of those three things!
Dallon
Groom
Dallon is intelligent, principled, funny, and empathetic, all of which makes him my perfect match. Marrying each other with all of our favorite people will make our wedding day the best day ever!
Lex Staton
Bridesmaid
Lex came into Dallon's life in his teenage years, and she came into Lauren's when Lex moved in with Dallon in 2021 (the day Lauren and Dallon "officially" started dating). Lauren and Lex can frequently be seen working, eating, drinking, playing softball, or any other fun thing they think of.
Brennan Zinszer
Best Man
Brennan and Dallon first met on June 18, 1998 and were pretty close ever since. (Hmm, I wonder what happened that day?) As Dallon’s older brother and best man, Brennan has always had to set a good example for Dallon and was consistently referred to as the “golden child” growing up. And Dallon REALLY looked up to Brennan… Until he (accompanied by Dallon) tried to fight Navy guys on one occasion and puked in an Uber on another. Now he’s just Brennan.
Dalton Schutz
Groomsman
Dalton and Dallon met freshman year at Boise State in Communication 101 and quickly bonded over their similar names and top five rapper lists. Nearly a decade later, they still see each other weekly to talk sports and music, disrupt the group at trivia night, and play on the same softball team. Fun fact: Dalton can largely be credited as Lauren and Dallon’s matchmaker when they met at the bars 4.5 years ago.
Aubrey Waterman
Bridesmaid
Aubrey and Lauren met in 2022, after the release of Taylor Swift's award-winning album "Midnights," and the announcement of the iconic Eras Tour. Since then, Lauren and Aubrey have bonded over their shared values--empathy, dignity, and pop music.
Jaycie Blair
Bridesmaid
Jaycie and Lauren met while interning together while in Boise State's Social Work program. Before Jaycie's recent move to Seattle, the two could be found spending wayyyy too long at coffee shops, talking about everything under the sun!
Ryan Matinyak
Groomsman
Ryan and Dallon have been friends since middle school, where they played too much Call of Duty: Black Ops. Ryan and Dallon have remained friends ever since, were both a part of the Mr. & Ms. pageant (where Ryan crashed a moped), were roommates at Boise State, and are fantasy football degenerates. Dallon also wore Ryan’s football jersey to Skyview football games and both were members of the Soft Serve Bandits®. IYKYK.
Jake O'Connor
Groomsman
Jake and Dallon have many shared hobbies and interests: football, video games, and pretending not to absolutely adore Lauren (we all know the truth!). Dallon has loved getting to know Jake and is excited to join the O’Connor family, especially knowing that guarantees he has a lifetime to continuously beat Jake in Madden matchups. Another fun fact: Jake is the groomsman who has to travel the furthest for the wedding, so thanks Jake!
Rylie Donato
Bridesmaid
Rylie and Lauren met in Boise State's Social Work program. Always down for a good time, Rylie has encouraged Lauren to enjoy more fun, excitement, and spontaneity in her life. Lauren is so excited to have Rylie standing by her side!
Kelsey Zinszer
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Kelsey met a few months after Lauren and Dallon started dating. Since then, they've enjoyed time together with the rest of the Zinszers in Boise, Salt Lake City, Jacksonville, Orlando and Las Vegas. Kelsey's intelligence and caring heart are sure to make her a wonderful sister-in-law!
Tayte Allen
Groomsman
Tayte and Dallon have been friends since high school, where they bonded over a shared hatred of Chase. Back in the day, their weekends were filled with endless hours playing video games, cliff jumping at Moulton Falls, blasting rap music and attending concerts. When Dallon visited Vancouver last year, not much had changed. Some things never do—like Tayte being one of Dallon’s closest pals.
Chase Dodge
Groomswoman
Dallon and Chase became friends freshman year of high school in Spanish class, and were rarely seen apart after that. They played baseball together, ran for student government together, and even ended up at Boise State together (go Broncos). Now friends for over a decade, Dallon and Chase can regularly be heard quoting Will Ferrell and Key & Peele, arguing about sports, or otherwise just acting like idiots.
Catie Furlong
Bridesmaid
Catie and Lauren met during sophomore year of college, when they were trying to get into Boise State's Social Work program (see a theme yet?). Catie and Lauren quickly became more than just school friends, leaning on each other during class and in real life!
