Lauren & Zachary
Wedding Party
Carolyne Kim
Maid of Honor
Lauren and Carolyne have been friends since 9 and 8 years old respectively! They call each other SFAM’s (sisters from another mister) and celebrate their friendship anniversary each year on the day they met, March 1st. Even when Lauren was in living Hawaii and Carolyne lived in Italy they always still made time for each other and stayed in touch. Maybe this is why now that they are in driving distance of each other (Portland and Seattle) they see each other just about every other month now! It’s no secret Lauren can get a little caught up in and overwhelmed by all of this wedding planning, but Carolyne is the perfect calm anchor and Maid of Honor to help make sure things run smoothly.
Andrew Smelter
Best Man
The start of Zach and Andrew’s friendship dates back to their Kindergarten days in Ms. Clark’s classroom. It quickly grew through their shared passion for sports, gaming, and the outdoors. These days, the two of them like to connect over good food and even better conversations. Zach can get in his own head quite easily, which is why he’ll have Andrew there as his Best Man to pull him out and help him enjoy the big day!
Abby Donnelly
Officiant
Lauren and Abby quickly became friends in high school and bonded over their shared sense of humor. Over the years Lauren and Abby have kept up an amazing long distance friendship. Each time they see each other they pick up where they left off like no time has passed. When Abby met Zach, their friendship blossomed as well. The three of them are now all incredible friends, and know there is no other person they would rather have officiating their wedding than Abby.
Scott and Kristy Spector
Lauren’s Parents and Zach’s Future In-Laws
Lauren and Zach want to thank Lauren’s parents for the amount of immense support and love they have had for the couple over the years. It means the world to both Lauren and Zach to have such amazing people like them at the wedding and in their lives.
