Lauren Parker

Lauren is Leah's older sister and will serve as "Matron of Honor" for Ryan and Leah's wedding ceremony! Lauren lives in Brookline, MA with her husband, Evan, and two cats, Nickel and Dime.

Lilly Barickman
Lilly Barickman - Bridesmaid
Lilly lives in Charleston, WV and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory with Lilly would have to be how they met at Marshall University. Leah was dealing with a dorm switch situation and had nowhere to live. Lilly, who had a single dorm room (lucky!) in the neighboring dorm offered to have Leah move in with her in Spring of 2020. Lilly skipped her afternoon classes to help Leah, a stranger at the time, move in all of her stuff, organize it all, and plan out the rest of her switch. Since then, Lilly and Leah have been inseparable.
Grace Hewitt
Grace Hewitt - Bridesmaid
Grace lives in Dayton, OH and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory with Grace would have to be living in the Tri Sigma sorority house with Grace. For some time, Leah and Grace weren't very close, but bonded over heartbreaks, hard decisions, and tough scenarios. Since their bond, Leah and Grace have a signature joint dance to the song, "2 Step," have been on several vacations together, and continue their friendship even with a 15 hour trek between them.
Olivia Norris
Olivia Norris - Bridesmaid
Olivia lives in Huntington, WV and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory with Olivia would have to be when both girls lived in the Tri Sigma house together. Olivia helped Leah pick the locks on the coin-operated washer/dryer units to clean clothes for free, she would sit on Leah's carpet for hours to keep Leah company while she studied for exams, and the two frequently exchanged clothing garments and "getting ready" items.
Sydney Meadows
Sydney Meadows - Bridesmaid
Sydney lives in Dayton, OH and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory with Sydney would be Spring Break 2022 in Panama City Beach. Leah and Sydney were partners in crime during this trip- meaning, every bar outing, late night beach runs, sneaking Leah into the bars with a fake ID, and everything in-between.
Lauren "Sweeney" Sweeney
Lauren "Sweeney" Sweeney - Bridesmaid
Lauren, or, "Sweeney" as they all call her, lives in Barboursville, WV and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory with Sweeney would be weekly chapter meetings for the sorority. Since Sweeney joined Tri Sigma in Spring 2020, Leah and Sweeney found themselves sitting within a direct vicinity of one another during meeting. Let's be honest, not any meeting is perfect, so when some dumb shit went down, they were the first to turn, look at one another and laugh. Sweeney is probably the funniest, most quirky friend Leah has.
Ellie Carter
Ellie Carter - Bridesmaid
Ellie lives in Fishers, IN and is Leah's best friend from childhood. Naturally, there are too many memories had to pick a favorite, but Leah's favorite thing about Ellie is the fact that she has "hung in there" with Leah the longest. Through a mutual love of the 2010 drama show, "Pretty Little Liars," competitive cheerleading (way back when) Leah and Ellie created a bond of friendship that has lasted over 10 years.
Mackenzie, "Kenzie" Jedrey
Mackenzie, "Kenzie" Jedrey - Bridesmaid
Kenzie lives in Huntington, WV and is one of Leah's Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority sisters. Leah's favorite memory would have to be how the two met at Marshall University. Kenzie and Leah were in the same Panhellenic Recruitment group in Fall 2019. One thing led to another and Kenzie decided to end her recruitment journey before selecting a house. A couple months later, she made the decision to pledge Tri Sigma with Leah as the recruitment director at the time! Since then, Leah and Kenzie were housemates, frequent visitors at the Alpha Tau Omega house, and have made so many fun memories together.
Logan Myers
Logan Myers - Best Man
Logan has been a friend of Ryan's for over 8 years and will serve as, "Best Man" at Ryan and Leah's wedding ceremony! Logan is from Chesapeake, WV and met Ryan when they were students at Riverside High School. Ryan and Logan agree that the early morning fist fights at Riverside's breakfast service were even trashier than the randoms that hang out in front of the Speedway next to campus.
Kevin Roy
Kevin Roy - Groomsman
Kevin is from Charleston, WV and was introduced to Ryan when they were brothers in Alpha Tau Omega. Ryan's favorite memory with Kevin was when they both attended Alpha Tau Omega's Presidential Conference in Orlando, FL. At the conference, Ryan and Kevin drunkenly made the decision to get their fraternal letters tattooed on their ass cheeks. Yes, they actually did that...
Christopher "Kip"/"Shiesty" Oliver
Christopher "Kip"/"Shiesty" Oliver - Groomsman
Christopher has several different nicknames, but will use his given name for the website (haha!).

Evan Herd
Evan Herd - Usher
Evan is one of Ryan's Alpha Tau Omega fraternity brothers and will serve as one of Ryan and Leah's ushers for their wedding ceremony.

Nathaniel "Kumar" Narendrakumar
