Amanda Palazzolo - Matron of Honor
Lauren met Amanda the first day of chemistry class in college. They spent many of hours studying together in the library and became really close friends through nursing school.
Brittany Hinojosa - Bridesmaid
Brittany and Lauren were coworkers and became friends because Brittany sought Lauren out and wouldn't leave her alone. lol Brittany is the friend with that extrovert personality that Lauren knew she always needed in her life. Opposites attract in this friendship.
Angela Joensson - Bridesmaid
Angela and Lauren met at work and were coworkers for years. Lauren actually trained Angela when she started in the OR. Angela and Lauren became close while at work.
Hannah Armstrong - Bridesmaid
Hannah and Lauren met in their sorority at college. Hannah was Lauren's "nursing baby" and helped Hannah through the early stages of nursing school. Hannah and Lauren only got to spend one year together in college but stayed close friends.
Kyle Smith - Best Man
Allen first met Kyle when they were probably 10 years old at a Mater Dei basketball camp and at first didn't like each other. When they went to Mater Dei together, they had a similar friend group, and quickly became great friends. They both loved sports and went to all of the school football, basketball, and volleyball games together. They both have busy lives now, but haven't let that get in the way of their friendship.
John Kohnen - Groomsmen
John is the older brother of Allen, but is so much more than that. He is Allens go to caddie for the bigger golf tournaments where they quote movies or tv shows all day. Most of their conversations are hard to follow for an outsider. He is the first person that Allen calls after an amazing day on the course or the one he vents to when it all goes wrong...
Russell Kohnen - Groomsmen
Russell is Allens oldest brother and is still more like a second father figure in his eyes. If Allen messed up he would have to hear about it from his father and then again from Russell. Russ is 10 years older, so Allen has always looked up to him, and he always set the best examples by being the smartest and hardest working person that Allen knows.
Justin Fix - Groomsmen
Allen and Justins friendship started more recent than the others. They both love to golf, and when they aren't golfing they love to talk about golf while having a few drinks at Hotshots. They have known each other for quite awhile though, Justin worked at the movie store in Breese and would let late fees slide. lol
