Wedding Party
Lillian Lawrence
Maid of Honor
Molly's younger sister. "Lilly and I became much closer in the past couple years and she has been one of the most supportive and genuine people I know. She is bubbly and kind but will always give me her honest opinion when I need it. She was in on the surprise proposal and sneakily got me to the location where Cory was waiting. I love her and I am so blessed to have her as my maid of honor."
Chris Barron
Best Man
Cory's Friend. "Chris and I met at Boeing in Saint Louis where we worked on "pointy-nosed" planes. We quickly became friends and spent our weekends building a cat tower, practicing welding, cutting down trees, foraging mushrooms, thrift shopping, and attempting to modify a Barbie-Doll Jeep to shoot fireworks. The last project was discontinued due to a nonconsensual fire. Chris enjoys cooking, owning a lot of things, and eating food that doesn't belong to him."
Abigail Lawrence
Bridesmaid
Molly's youngest sister. "Abby and I are 7 years apart, but as we have both grown up, we have become very close friends. She's and I love to have long conversations while we play badminton. I am so proud of the beautiful and talented young woman she has become and I can't wait to have her standing up as one of my bridesmaids. She was so excited about the wedding that she had an idea for her dress before I was even engaged. I love her so much."
Noah Lawrence
Groomsman
Molly's Brother. Noah and I shared a lot of mutual friends in college, but didn't know each other until Molly and I started dating. We have since gotten to know each other over disc golf and talking about movies. He was in on the surprise proposal and took photos while hidden behind a tree. I look forward to getting to know him better.
Cassie Lafferty
Bridesmaid
Cory's sister. "I remember right before Cory and I started dating, he was talking about getting ready for Cassies wedding and he sent me photos of him and his family; I saw the photo of Cassie and I thought she was one of the most beautiful brides I'd ever seen. Since dating Cory, I have been so blessed to get to know her. She has a brilliant mind and she is one of the kindest people you'll ever meet. I love her and I'm so excited to be her sister-in-law!"
Robert Lawrence
Groomsman
Molly's Brother. "Robert is the youngest groomsman with the biggest heart. Every time Robert sees me, he greets me with a big hug and challenges me to board games. We have an ongoing discussion about engineering, as Robert wants to become a civil engineer. I cannot wait to see the person Robert becomes."
Cami Toribio
Bridesmaid
Cory's sister. "Early on when Cory and I started dating, Cami and I went to a nail salon to get pedicures and I remember she thought my enthusiasm for the massage chairs was hilarious; she also had a rather tragic nail mishap and I think that experience bonded us early. She is so thoughtful and has the most gorgeous smile. When I attended her wedding, prior to my engagement, I remember thinking how excited I was to potentially be her sister-in-law. She is so much fun to be around and I love her very much. I have always dreamed of having an older sister and now I have will have two!"
Benjamin Lawrence
Groomsman
Molly's Brother. "When Benjamin and I first met, he was eating Cheetos. They made his hands orange. We got to know each other over discussions about planes. At that time, I worked at Boeing, and we had a lot to talk about. Ben has the natural characteristics of an airplane pilot: confident, level-headed, and energic."
Samantha Lehman
Bridesmaid
Molly's friend. "Samantha and I met when we both worked at Chick-Fil-A. We became close when she left for Grove City College and we were inseparable when I joined her there. She met her husband Aaron during her senior year and I'm proud to say I was a persistent third wheel to them. She is so beautiful and selfless and she just radiates joy. I love and adore her so much and I'm so grateful she is standing next to me as one of my bridesmaids."
Patrick Kriley
Groomsman
Cory's College Roommate. "Patrick is the blend of a farmer and a technology whiz. He grew up on a farm in Butler where he gained an unrivaled intuition for machinery. In college, Patrick got a major in Computer Science, and a minor in Shenanigans. We were active in our fraternity where we enjoyed the privileges of campus life such as: acorn fight. I had the honor of seeing Patrick get married to my other friend Sarah."
Rachel Brown
Bridesmaid
Molly's friend. "Even though Rachel and I met only a few years ago, you would think we've known each other forever. She and I enjoy watching scary movies, talking about anything and everything, and also hanging out in silence while judging each others entertainment sources. She was also in on the surprise proposal and I'm so happy she was there. She is so gorgeous and has such a beautiful soul; I love her very much and I'm so blessed to have her in my life."
Jordan Norris
Groomsman
Cory's Friend. "Jordan is my philosopher friend. We met at church and have been very formative in each other's Faith. We spend a lot of time talking about big ideas... and even started a podcast! Jordan sends memes. Occasionally the memes make sense. Jordan enjoys going to the gym, watching anime, and playing guitar."
Carlena Sanchez
Bridesmaid
Molly's cousin. "I remember when I was about 10, Carlena, my sisters, and I went to the mall during prom season to try on dresses. This was the first time I'd ever worn a fancy dress so I was very excited, but I also remember thinking Carlena was the coolest person ever. As we've gotten older, Carlena has been like an older sister to me, giving me advice and being there if I ever needed to talk. Years later, I still think of her as one of the coolest, most beautiful people I know. She has an utterly gorgeous spirit and I love her very much. I'm so glad she's my cousin and built-in friend."
Conor Brooks
Groomsman
Cory's Friend. "The only Conor Brooks. The Fisher. The Artist. The Visionary. Conor and I were friends at the end of High School and into college summers. We like to fish, play video games, and throw a killer halloween parties together. I love this guy."
