Wedding Party
Emma McLaren-Cobb
Maid of Honor
Emma is Sophie's big sister and one of her two maids of honor! After lots of bickering in their teenage years, the sisters are now best friends and pretty much inseparable. (We are talking 10-15 phone calls a day) Sophie, Emma, Lilli, and Ethan all lived together during covid (with their many animals) and got even closer! Emma is thrilled to call Ethan her little brother, and happy she shares such a fun and goofy relationship with him! Emma can't wait to stand by Soph as she marries the best guy ever.
Lillian Brooks
Maid of Honor
Lilli is Sophie's cousin and second maid of honor! Sophie likes to call Lil her built in best friend. Growing up they did everything together and were raised more like sisters than cousins. Lilli, her brother Alex, Sophie, and Emma had a wonderful childhood living just five minutes apart! Lil and Soph even matched like twins when they were little! Fun fact - Lillian was friends with Ethan in junior high school, pre Sophie and Ethan getting together! Her husband, Ryan is also in the bridal party. Lilli is excited to stand with Sophie and Ethan on their big day!
Tyler Lazarek
Best Man
Tyler is Ethan's older brother, and best man! He and his fiancé, Tara, are getting married right after Sophie and Ethan. Both Soph and Ethan are so happy to share this time of celebration with Tara and Tyler and can't wait for the years of milestones ahead. Fun fact - Tyler and Ethan were once conjoined twins, despite Tyler being three years older. I am still unsure of how this worked logistically, but you can hardly tell now!
Ryan Northrop
Groomsman
Ryan and Ethan have been friends since they were toddlers, and played football together for years! They also lived together in a traveling circus, where Ethan was an acclaimed fire eater. Ryan was known far and wide as an elephant trainer, impressive, I know. Alas, a serious mishap with a monkey and a run away flame led Ethan to retire at the peak of his career. Ryan followed suit. If not for that fated day, Ethan may not have met his beloved Sophia.
Christina Ewart
Bridesmaid
Christina and Sophie have been best friends since second grade! Christina (Tiny) and Sophie were introduced by their older sisters, and have been super close ever since! From watching The Clique together in elementary school to graduating high school side by side, they are definitely forever friends. It will be so special to share Sophie's wedding day together too!
Taylor Parlee
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Sophie have been very best friends since 5th grade! Every blonde needs their brunette best friend (that's Taylor for Soph). From sleepovers, to Havasu trips, Sophie and Taylor remain a big part of each others' lives. More recently, Sophie had the pleasure of watching Taylor get married and become the best mama to a sweet little girl. They've been through a lot of life together!
Louis Eusebi
Groomsman
Louis and Ethan met on farmersonly.com. They were both looking friendship, but found much more. The two now spend most of their days side by side, playing football, watching football, reading about football and dabbling in the occasional video game. Louis is proud to stand at his besties side on his wedding day, he can only hope he doesn't lose him to Sophia.
Jackson Clark
Groomsman
Jackson and Ethan met during their time working at a bar on the Jersey Shore! You may have missed them on the show alongside Snooki and Jwow, but I can assure you they were there! Gym, tan, and laundry, am I right boys? Ps. Don't hesitate to ask Ethan and Jackson for their Long Island Iced Tea recipe, the drink is widely reported to be behind Snooki's arrest in 2010.
Tara Lazarek
Bridesmaid
Tara is Sophie's soon to be sister in law! She is marrying Ethan's brother Tyler in October. Soph is so happy to be able to call Tara family. The first time the two met Sophie told Tara that Tyler was going to marry her, and she was right! Tara is the life of the party, and brings so much joy into the lives of those around her. Sophie felt that they instantly clicked, and she is so happy Tara will be standing beside her on her wedding day. Lazarek girls forever!
Beth Brooks
Bridesmaid
Beth is Sophie's third sister (not technically, but we love her all the same). Beth and Sophie met and became instant friends when Lilli started dating Beth's brother in law, Ryan. Bethy is always the most supportive and loving person in the room. She is an incredible mother to our perfect Millie, who is already a member of the girl gang for life.
Tristan Pearson
Groomsman
Tristan and Ethan met when Ethan happened upon a boy on the shores of Ventura beach. Tristan was scantly clad, but his body was covered with fish like scales. Tristan did not speak english upon their first meeting, merely gasped for air. With much coaxing and patience Ethan learned his story. Let's just say, Tristan is not of the 'land'. He is most at home in the water, which could explain his career as a professional swimmer. Good luck at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, Tristan!
Ryan Brooks
Groomsman
Ryan and Ethan met back in the good old days playing football. Since then, Ryan married Ethan's soon to be cousin in law, Lilli, and a bromance for the ages formed. The pair enjoy long paddleboat rides into the sunset on the shores of Crystal Lake. They dabble in the occasional swim as well, often risking their lives in the perilous depths of the lake. One fateful summer, Ethan could have SWORN that he saw Tristan's face emerge from the water.
Trevor Pipkin
Groomsman
No one knows where Trevor and Ethan met. The two will not speak of it to this day. After much research, I feel confident that both had some part to play in U.S. Intelligence. There isn't much information out there, but I have discovered their code names. Ethan's is Devin, and Trevor's is Sophia. Extremely curious seeing that those names are that of their partners, but swapped. If they try to tell you a false story about meeting in "college", know it has been widely debunked. I can't reveal more here, I fear I am being watched.
Jacquez Neilson
Groomsman
Jacquez and Ethan first met at the 91st National Spelling Bee in Maryland. Both boys were finalists and got to talking as they awaited their turns on stage. They discovered a shared love for football and peach cobbler and became fast friends under the fluorescent light of the convention center. More and more contestants made mistakes as the spelling got more strenuous, and Ethan and Jacq became the last two left standing. They had to face off in a final round of spelling where each would spell the same word. Whoever spelled faster brought home the trophy. The word was "friendship". Jacquez took home the gold but both boys won that day.
