Wedding Party
Britt Lampron
Maid of Honor
Britt and Addie met at the gym! She joined the CrossFit class Addie used to attend and they hit it off. Seriously. They’re usually on the same page with just about everything. They share a love of all things fitness, fashion, Saratoga, coffee, reading, dogs, complaining when Phil or Paul leaves their dirty laundry NEXT to the laundry basket…the list goes on. And she can DEFINITELY outlift you.
Lauren Pica
Bridesmaid
Lauren was Addie’s first (and best) friend she made at Marist College. What started as a lot of nights watching Grey’s Anatomy and trips to cross country meets as bus buddies, lead to being college housemates for the next 3 years. Lauren was always there for a vent session in Addie’s pink chair or for a dance party. She also fully supported a trip to Dunkin at any time of the day. Mostly there were a lot of laughs.
Rachel Shannon Menster
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Addie first met in Kindergarten at St. John’s. They went to school together all the way through high school. If either of them was NOT at the barn riding horses or at a track meet, they were hanging out together, listening to a new alternative band Rachel had found (there’s a long playlist to go along with this time in their lives). Rachel was there when Paul first came on the scene way back in 2006. College put some distance between them for the first time when Rachel attended Florida State, but there are some pretty hilarious/embarrassing Facebook wall posts and videos of them keeping in touch. When they do see each other, it’s like no time has passed at all.
Amie Kutz
Bridesmaid
Addie met Amie her first week of high school cross country. Starting high school was a pretty daunting experience and meeting Amie, and basically having a role model, was the best thing that could have happened. She motivated Addie to go after her own running dreams. Fast forward to now, and Addie and Amie are still close friends. Amie actually met her husband Kevin while she was up visiting Addie in Otis!
Marissa Baker
Bridesmaid
Marissa and Addie met at the gym doing IAP classes. Funny story, Addie was at her cousins’ wedding in Boston and Marissa was actually in the same hotel and remembered seeing the wedding taking place. They realized a few weeks later they had been there at the same time. Marissa is forever positive and supportive with the kindest soul. Oh and she LOVES a good hike.
Amanda Ricciardi
Bridesmaid
Amanda and Addie met through Ryan, Paul’s Best Man. Amanda was there to celebrate the proposal with a bottle of champagne and then she was also there as comfort when Tucker (Addie’s family’s beloved Yellow Lab) passed a few months later. She’s extremely thoughtful and the first person to tell you to chase down what you want. She also has the best laugh!
Ryan DeLand
Best Man
Paul and Ryan met over a decade ago when Ryan’s uncle Steve brought him along on Paul’s boat to try out their Sky Ski. And so began a 12+ year bromance. Any extreme water sport you can imagine, Ryan has probably done it. Scratch that - mastered it. And if you’re spending any amount of time with Ryan, you’re probably laughing at his jokes…or puns.
Jamie Richard
Groomsman
Jamie is Paul’s brother and witnessed ALL of his childhood antics. He has some good stories to share. But he’s always pushed Paul to reach higher and chase after his big dreams. Jamie is also your GO TO tech authority - any question, he can most likely answer it.
TJ Kopyscinski
Groomsman
TJ met Paul unofficially one day on the lake when he watched Paul attempt to kick a slalom ski off to barefoot. The attempt was a fail, but it was the start of a beautiful friendship. From snowmobile adventures to lazy summer afternoons in the boats by the dam, TJ is always up for a good time. Especially if that good time is a Whiskey Friday.
Mike DiFran
Groomsman
Mike is Addie’s brother and technically how Paul and Addie met. Mike and Paul were in the same golf program at Blandford Country Club. It’s debatable if they actually learned anything or mostly wreaked havoc on the course. Although officially “retired” from lake sports, Mike has been known to toss on a pair of skis and let himself be dragged at 60 mph behind a jet boat or get thrown off a tube. He’s also the resident music authority - from playing his guitar on the roof of Paul’s dad’s pontoon, to belting out ridiculous jingles. It’s not a lake weekend without Mike.
Jack DiFran
Groomsman
The younger of Addie’s two brothers and Addie and Paul’s morning ski buddy. Jack is NOT retired from lake sports and lives to slalom ski. Jack is a character - between his Pit Vipers or other ridiculous eye wear and his “meme rap” music, he keeps everyone laughing. He’ll mow your lawn for free, but don’t ask him to do it on a Whiskey Friday because he might forget to put the blades down.
Seth Arnold
Groomsman
Seth is one of Paul’s oldest friends. They had an illustrious high school cross country career together but most of their antics take place when they’re out snowmobiling together. Warning : you won’t be able to keep up with either one of them. Seth is quick with a laugh and smile - you truly could not ask for a more loyal friend.
