Wedding Party
David Folster
Groom
Laura Schultz
Bride
Allyson Plyler
Best Woman
As is the case with many siblings, Allyson and David have many stories to share about the struggles of growing up with brothers and sisters. David may or may not have back issues due to being thrown around a little too much as a kid. He also may or may not have played pranks on his sister leading to certain backlash that will not be mentioned here. Just as in many other cases, as they have grown, David and Allyson have become trusted friends and confidants along the way. David trusts Allyson's opinions on relationships and career choices and home improvements. She is the sole provider for all of the plants in David's house. They've shared so much and Allyson continues to be a strong support system through thick and thin - and even offered her home as a wedding venue! Allyson lives with her husband Trent and their two beautiful kids in Simi Valley. They have two labs who add just a touch of extra chaos to the mix.
Carrie Cooper
Matron of Honor
Laura literally does not remember life before Carrie as they have been friends in some capacity since before Laura could talk. They spent every second of free time together growing up - playing outside during summer vacations, sleepovers and even went on trips with each other's families. They've been friends long enough that they dreamed of a road trip to Pocomoke City, Maryland as children (they thought the name was funny) and then realized it as adults just before Carrie got married in 2012. To many the term "Matron of Honor" is just the title of the friend standing next to you at the altar. To this bride, it is truly a great honor to have such a strong, lifelong friend supporting her on one of the most important and meaningful days of her life. Carrie lives with her husband and three handsome boys in Ohio. She works seasonally as a park ranger at Cuyahoga Valley National Park and can tell you all things nature. She also can and will destroy you in board games.
Danny Fulgham
Groomsman
Danny was invited to a party David was hosting way back when and they pretty much hit it off right away. The next day they randomly ran into each other at the grocery store and that was the start of a great friendship. Danny has helped David out greatly through the years of this friendship, always looking out for him even in the early days. Whether helping David out with a job, or keeping it real by not being afraid to tell him things that he needed to hear, Danny is a protector to the people he is close to and David is glad to be able to call him one of his best friends. Danny has previously been a DJ, an electrician and owned a successful food truck in the LA area. Truly a renaissance man. He lives in Savannah, GA where he currently owns a bar called Vici Rooftop Savannah.
Megan Little
Bridesmaid
Megan and Laura met in high school where Megan forced herself into Laura's group of friends, according to Megan. It's hard to blame her - the class of '08 was significantly cooler than the class of '10. Regardless, it is difficult NOT to become best friends with Megan Little. Through college they enjoyed many silly times together whether it be the Croquet Soiree of 2009 or swimming in fountains that were not supposed to be swam in. Megan is the kind of person who you can have the deepest discussions with on a variety of topics, but who is not afraid to trip your crush in a bar as an excuse to talk to him. And though they have not lived in the same city for many years at this point, their friendship is the kind that knows no distance - when they meet up again after weeks or months or years (thanks Covid) they are able to pick up right where they left off. Her friendship is invaluable. Megan is crushing it in Denver as a user design strategist. She has worked in different roles with clients as big as Google and Laura is immensely proud of how this woman has grown and what she has accomplished.
Shane Morrissey
Groomsman
David met Shane through their mutual friend Parker and always thought he was a pretty cool dude at parties. He has some mad billiards skills. He also managed to get David into the gym once in a while and was happy to give him a hard time when he wasn't trying hard enough. Shane is the kind of guy who can chill out and have fun, will meet up at the drop of a hat, but will also be there to support a friend in the thick of it all. Shane lives in Simi Valley and works for waste management and can tell you the answers to all the questions you never knew you had about waste. That sounds sarcastic, but truly, it's very interesting!
Baylie Rose Folster
Bridesmaid
Rose is David's daughter and she is such an impressive young person. When Laura first met her in 2017, she was a sweet and silly little girl who loved baking. She is still silly and sweet and loves baking but it has been so fun to watch her grow (several inches taller than Laura!) and develop over the last few years into the wonderful young woman she is today. When she decided to try cheerleading a few years ago, she couldn't do a cartwheel. Now she has competed with her high school cheer team against schools from all over Europe! She is smart, passionate, loyal, well-spoken, gorgeous, and has a beautiful heart. The bride and groom are so thrilled to have this young lady standing with them on such a special day. Rose currently lives in Spain with her mom, stepdad, older brother, and two little siblings. She is on her high school cheer team as well as a member of the JROTC program. AND she makes phenomenal strawberry shortcake cupcakes.
