Wedding Party
Erin Pardoe
Matron of Honor
Lauren’s very first memory involves meeting Erin — and the rest is history, as they say. This sister duo is grateful for all the time they do get to spend together even though they live three hours apart. Epic sister trips and consuming many a binge-worthy show are just a handful of the many things they love to do together. Ask Erin about coming back to America. She’ll know.
Jered Nuss
Best Man
Matt's best man is his brother, Jered. Jered likes movies, cars, UT sports and taking family trips. He's known for whipping up a great peach cobbler and making friends easily.
Christine Lawless
Bridesmaid
Christine was Lauren’s first successful online relationship — and only successful online relationship until she met Matt. From college freshman roommates to now, they have lived a lot of life together — both cross country and in the same city.
Sean Danielson
Groomsman
Sean and Matt became friends while both worked in the Texas Capitol, and when Matt would frequently stop by Sean's house uninvited and unannounced. Mischief ensued. Sean lives in Virginia with his fiancee.
Amanda Powell
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Lauren joke that they met on the side of the road at a crime scene — but can’t remember which one. Now both recovering journalists, they chuckle at how life threw them together — from deep East Texas all the way to Austin.
Brock Ramos
Groomsman
Brock and Matt have known each other since graduate school, where they became roommates, fast friends and hosted rowdy parties. Brock and his family live in Austin, where he coaches multiple sports and fires up the grill.
