Jennifer & Mark
Wedding Party
Lauren Wickett
Maid of Honor
Finally, Lauren's turn to be maid of honor! Lauren and Jen have been inseparable since freshman year of high school where they immediately hit it off over their love for Justin Bieber. Jen loves spending time with her at their favorite place, Troegs. Their Troegs dates have now turned into phone dates as they live far apart now. Lauren is the absolute life of the party! Expect her to be the first one to hit the dance floor on the wedding day!
Riley Smith
Best Man
Riley and Mark have been buddies since their days at Penn State, both sitting on the executive board for the Penn State Marketing Association. They always look forward to the Giants-Eagles matchups every season; luck has not been in Mark's team's favor lately. Despite their team rivalries, they'll always be the closest of friends!
Jackie Pratzner
Bridesmaid
Jen and Jackie met back in Kindergarten sitting together at the purple table. These two have been through everything together, from working on school projects together to now watching each other walk down the aisle! Jackie has always been her voice of reason and Jen can truly count on her for anything. Jen feels so lucky to have such an amazing friend by her side!
Eddie Xu
Groomsman
Mark and Eddie met while working closely in the Consulting division of the Penn State Marketing Association (PSMA). They even spent an entire summer slacking off on their internships to cold-call businesses for PSMA together. Since then, they've partied, tailgated, and even enjoyed living in Chicago across the street from each other for a while!
Catherine Nguyen
Bridesmaid
Catherine is Jen's soul sister since 4th grade. They've gone through a lot of life together and Jen is so happy to finally be living in the same city as her. They are finally able to catch-up over dinner and drinks at new restaurants! She's a fashionista queen who teaches Jen everything about make-up and style! Jen's favorite moments with Cat were when they would visit each other in college and have a great night dancing!
Matt Park
Groomsman
Mark and Matt became friends through the Penn State Snowboarding Club THON group, canning and raising money for pediatric cancer patients. They've always shared a love for the Outdoors and have traveled to and camped in Oregon, Yosemite National Park, and the Patagonia together! They even worked together in Austin for a year after college!
Alexandria Holman
Bridesmaid
Alex and Jen met when they were 6 years old on the school bus. They have gone through every phase of life together! From elementary school to know adulthood, their friendship remains strong! Alex is like a mama bear - always looking out for Jen and making sure she's okay. Fun fact: Jen doesn't particularly like sweet treats but she's always craving anything that Alex bakes! Her specialty are her pumpkin rolls.
Jonluis Lara
Groomsman
Jonluis is the little brother that Mark always wanted. These two already act as brothers as Jonluis turns to Mark to ask him anything or for some life advice. Fun fact: Mark welcomed Jonluis to the world of Fireball, a great feat as Jonluis has shut down every other drink imaginable.
Daphne Sanchez
Bridesmaid
Daphne and Jen met during their time at Tulane and became fast friends! After several late night study sessions and long drives to Plucker's, their bond was sealed. Daphne quickly became Jen's home away from home. Jen could always count on her, day and night, if she needed to vent about school or just to talk! Daphne is her go to person to jam to Lil' Wayne or Bad Bunny!
Omar Lara
Groomsman
Also the little brother Mark always wanted! Mark and Omar get competitive in MarioKart; Omar is the reigning champion. Mark also enjoys showing Omar the ropes in his old stomping grounds, the rock-climbing gym.
Karen Saba
Bridesmaid
From the moment Jen and Karen met, she welcomed her into the family with open arms and made her feel right at home! They have since exchanged recipes, book recommendations and work horror stories. Karen is the sweetest soul you'll ever meet and Jen feels so lucky to have her in her life!
