Lauren and Kenzie have not only become close friends, but also sisters-in-law after Kenzie married Lauren's big brother Rob in 2022! After having the honor of standing beside Kenzie at her wedding, Lauren can't wait for her to be a part of her special day too!
Beatrice Cross - Maid of Honor
Lauren and Trixie met in 2019 through Eric's group of friends. They immediately hit it off, and soon didn't need an excuse to make plans of their own, eventually going on trips and staycations together! Some of their favorite memories have been made on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and (more recently) Lake Michigan!
Katie McCarthy - Maid of Honor
Lauren and Katie's fairytale friendship started in 2019 doing Princess Party events in Cincinnati, and became real life best friends when they PLAYED best friends in a production of "Carousel" the summer of 2022! Playing Julie and Carrie had them glued at the hip, and they have been besties ever since!
Rachael Petranek - Bridesmaid
Lauren and Rachael also became besties through the fun and friend-filled production of "Carousel" in 2022! They, along with Katie, shared a dressing room together & bonded deeply on and off the stage. They always have a blast whether it's in Cinci, at the lake, the beach, or The Era's Tour!
Alaska Stoughton - Bridesmaid
Lauren and Alaska have been friends since 2014 having gone to school together at Wright State's BFA Acting program. After a few years of chasing their own dreams in different cities, it was simply Kismet that they would reconnect back in Cincinnati and they have been inseparable ever since!
Robby Buchsbaum - Best Man
After being the Best Man for his big brother back in 2023, Eric is super excited to have Robby as his own Best Man for his turn. Robby is Eric's favorite older brother, his only older brother, and sincerely hopes that will never change.
Brian Buchsbaum - Best Man
Brian is the best younger brother that Eric never asked for, but would (or could) never return. The two are thicker than thieves on a good day and Eric can't wait for Brian to be off to the side somewhere on his big day.
Rob Everett - Groomsmen
Not-so-blood brother of the groom, Rob and Eric have become fast friends and are gearing up for a lifetime adjacent to each other as brothers-in-law...? Brother-in-laws? Brothers-ins-laws? He is Lauren's favorite older brother, her only older brother, and one of Eric's favorite groomsmen.
Dugan Warmoth - Groomsmen
Eric's been stuck with Dugan long enough for him to feel like a brother without them actually being related in any way and not actually being brothers. It's only right that Dugan be there with Eric on his big day, alongside his other, more real brothers. It's the least Dugan could do.
Nick Sharrock - Groomsmen
Not quite lifelong, or even super long, but still pretty long-time friend of the groom, it's only right that Nick join Eric as one of his groomsmen. There are few people Eric has more fun with, and can stand to have near him on his big day.
