Lauren & Nicholas
Wedding Party
Rachel Buchanan
Maid of Honor
Rachel is Lauren's older sister and has known Lauren her whole life. They grew up playing Barbies, Wii, and singing their little hearts out for their family and friends. While they may not have always gotten along when they were younger, they both truly love and care for each other. And while Rachel is the obvious choice for Lauren’s Maid of Honor, Lauren wouldn’t have it any other way.
Blake Benson
Best Man
Nicholas has known Blake since the 4th grade. Throughout their time together they have bonded over their shared interests in subjects like Star Wars, Marvel, Nerf, Airsoft, and Minecraft. They share plenty of memories of attending Marvel movie premieres and intense Airsoft games with other mutual friends. With these experiences and their essentially lifelong brotherhood, Nicholas couldn't have asked for someone better to call his Bestman.
Carly Martin
Bridesmaid
Carly met Lauren when they were in middle school in a production of Alice in Wonderland Jr. They continued their friendship in their high school theatre program and have been great friends ever since. They bonded over their love of theatre and have made so many great and crazy memories over the years. Lauren is so excited to have Carly be by her side on her special day!
Cale Overstreet
Groomsman
Cale met Nicholas (Dwayne) in their freshman year at UTK. Alongside Dwayne, Cale is one of the founding members of the group they call the "movie council". In that group, they watched an uncountable number of movies and bonded over many gaming memories from Mario kart gaming sessions in which he was always first to intense board games that lasted several hours. Nicholas considers it an honor to be his friend and is more than happy to call him one of his groomsmen.
Whitney Walters
Bridesmaid
Whitney is Lauren’s Elementary school best friend. She met Lauren in their first grade class with Ms. Neal. They spent weekends having sleepovers and putting on incredible concerts for their parents. They continued their friendship through middle and high school and bonded over their love of music. Even though they have gone their separate ways for college and beyond, they continue to keep in touch and Lauren is so thankful to have her as a friend!
Casey MacKinnon
Groomsman
Casey met Nicholas (Dwayne) in his freshman year of college at the University of Tennessee. Throughout their time in college together they lived with each other for three of those years and shared many memories together. Some of these include a road/camping trip to Shenandoah National Park and the West Virginia/Virginia region, an unknown number of movie nights with other friends, and a lockdown when their whole apartment got COVID-19. Nicholas is so thankful for his friendship and is excited to have Casey be part of his Groomsmen party.
