Mary Claire Walsh, Lauren’s college roommate, officiated and Fritz Per Clausen, Ben’s college roommate, was his best man. Groomsmen included Michael Scott Nelson and Mark Gaya, Ben’s brother-in-law. Lauren’s cousin, Elizabeth Reagan, served as the maid of honor, and Stacey Moritz served as bridesmaid. Ben’s sister, Lydia Taylor Gaya, was escorted by Lauren’s brother, Nicholas Ostberg.

The rehearsal dinner, hosted by Clover & Henry, was held at Byblo’s Mediterranean Restaurant in Toledo. An informal reception followed the ceremony at the WW Knight Nature Preserve in Perrysburg.
