Colleen met the bride in the spring of 2007 when they pledged the sorority Alpha Xi Delta together. They became close friends quickly (BIFFs as they like to call each other) and formed a bond that could never be broken. Lauren was Colleen's maid of honor back in 2011 and has loved watching Colleen's family grow over the years. Now Colleen is ready to stand by Lauren's side and help guide her through this exciting time!
Maid of Honor
Sam is Lauren's younger cousin who grew up living next door. It wasn't until their adult lives, and working together in the same office, that they built their close relationship. Hours of sharing their struggles and triumphs brought them closer and closer. Through ups and downs, Sam was always there to support and encourage Lauren along the way. Now Sam is ready to support and celebrate Lauren on her biggest day yet!
Bridesmaid
Brittany met Lauren back in the spring of 2007 when Lauren pledged their sorority. Brittany had just pledged the semester before and welcomed Lauren with open arms. Being both education majors and in their sophomore year, it was an easy friendship to form. Over the years these two have stayed close and share many fun and exciting memories. From being a bridesmaid in Brittany's wedding, to watching her raise two daughters with a son on the way, these two have shared a lot of life's blessings together! Lauren is excited to now have Brittany by her side on her big day!
Bridesmaid
Brittany grew up with Colleen and first met Lauren when they were in Colleen's wedding together. Colleen's two best friends finally had come together and the stars had aligned. It wasn't surprising when Lauren started joining Colleen on trips to Harrisburg, PA where Brittany was living at the time. When Brittany moved to Philadelphia, her and Lauren's relationship only grew stronger and they developed their own relationship outside of Colleen. Brittany has been such an encouraging friend to Lauren, and Lauren can not imagine her wedding without Brittany by her side!
Bridesmaid
Lindsay met Lauren in 2012 when she got hired to teach at Union Valley Elementary. Lauren wasn't so sure about Lindsay at first because she never smiled in the hallway, but she soon learned that her first impression of this fellow Capricorn was way off. Lindsay has been a true friend to Lauren in so many ways. Their almost daily text conversations include venting, funny memes, encouraging words, and sound advice.

Ring Bearer
Connor, son of Colleen, is a sweet, loving, and energetic boy who knows how to brighten anyone's day. The kindness in his heart spreads like wildfire and his creative mind is astonishing. From being the tiniest little peanut in Lauren's arms the day after he was born, to running around as a now kindergartener, time has just flown by. Watching him grow has been one of Lauren's greatest pleasures. Connor loves being able to talk "bro" things with Uncle Alex such as Star Wars and video games and checking out Uncle Alex's growing collection of figurines. Uncle Alex and Aunt Fitz wouldn't trust anyone else with the great responsibility of ring bearer!
