Wedding Party

Stefanie Lawlor

Matron of Honor

Stef is my best friend from freshman year in high school. I got so lucky to have her then become my sister in law after college and now a mom of two beautiful Lawlor boys! Easton and Tyler are our ring bearers. Stef is my true partner in crime. The only girl I know that can keep up with me on a dirt bike, pass me in a go cart, snowboard with me through the mountains, and still single ski behind the ski boat! My brother sure is lucky 🤗. She has put up with this crazy Lawlor family the longest. 😆 Thank you for such a great friendship for so many years and for so many more years to come!! I love you!
