It's about time we introduced the best looking people in the wedding. Yesterday, you met the flower girl. Now it's time to meet the ring bearer, Lawrence Hawley Jr.LJ is the son of Gail (Mark's sister) and Larry.
LJ just finished fourth grade at Deer Park Elementary, Deer Park, NY, where he's a very smart and well-liked student, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. He likes video games, hanging out with his sisters (three older and one younger), and - sadly - the Yankees. Matt's working on that last part.
But he's a fantastic and funny young man.
Matt and LJ got to hang out two years ago when Matt visited. They went to a Yankees game and Mets game (Matt's first trip to Shea, pictured at right). Since then, Matt's been told that LJ has become "a little man." The only bad news about that is he'll probably look better in his tuxedo than Matt. But Matt still gets the girl.
Lynne and Matt are very honored and excited that LJ will be part of The Big Day.
Further, Matt and Lynne feel very lucky that Matt's other NY cousins will be passing out programs. We'll introduce them here, because you can't tell your NY cousins without a scorecard.
- Anne (pictured below on the left, although she's older now) will be a junior in high school next year. Besides being a good swimmer, she's a good student and a good writer.
- Erin (Matt's goddaughter, in the second picture she's on far right) is heading for eighth grade and excels in softball.
- Kaitlyn (second picture, left) just finished sixth grade and is famous for making up magic tricks and plays.
- And Jessica (second picture, middle) is in second grade and she likes horses.They're fantastic kids - friendly, smart and good looking. Must run in the family!
