Wedding Party
Gina Donohue
Mother of the Bride
Alex’s mom and wedding planner, Gina has taught Alex so many things; perseverance and work ethic, her chicken soup recipe, and most importantly how to plan a good party. Gina has been working tirelessly planning a beautiful, joyful day for her daughter, her new son-in-law, and all who will share in their celebration. Gina is a semi-retired real estate agent and accountant. She has been married to Alex’s father Brian for over 40 years.
Lisa McKeon
Mother of the Groom
Growing up, Thad often referred to his mom, Lisa as his "hero" and it’s easy to see why. Lisa has sat through more ER visits than she would like to count, but that never stopped her from being positive. A guiding force in Thad's life, Lisa set an amazing example by not only being the world's best mom, but owning and operating the daycare her mother started. Lisa has been married to her husband Scott for over 30 years.
Brian Donohue
Father of the Bride
Alex’s father, bodyguard, and chauffeur, Brian is so excited to welcome you all to his home of Central Massachusetts and his parish Mary Queen of the Rosary. Brian is a retired Worcester Police Sergeant, served 30 years as a Coast Guard Chief, and several years in the Air Force. But his proudest accomplishment is being a father. From playing barbie space adventure to teaching her Karate, Brian always taught Alex that she can do anything she sets her mind to. Brian has been married to Alex’s mother Gina for over 40 years.
Scott McKeon
Father of the Groom
Scott has taught Thad much of what he knows (and not always the easy way). Through way too many home-improvement projects, Scott has taught Thad roofing, auto maintenance, basic carpentry, how to drive, and many other important life skills. Were these skills taught by the book? Not always 😇....but Thad knows enough to be dangerous (to himself and others). Scott works as an Applications Architect at GW&K Investment Management. He has been married to his wife Lisa for over 30 years.
Reghan Hope
Maid of Honor
Reghan is a graduate of Regis College and currently working in agriculture. Alex and Reghan have been friends since they met at Notre Dame Academy swim practice in 2013. They have shared many adventures together, from driving across the country, to catching rogue farm animals. Reghan is excited to support Alex on her next adventure; being married to Thad. Reghan will be accompanied by her date Bryce Iller.
Troy Iodice
Best Man
Troy has been Thad's friend since the 6th grade. Troy and Thad have been through it all together, from dirt biking as teenagers to building Thad's Trans Am. In his off time Troy enjoys working on his house or cruising in one of Thad's cars (if they work). Currently Troy works as an Aerospace Production Coordinator in the Boston area. Troy will be accompanied by his wife Kierra.
Anna Watkins
Bridesmaid
One of Alex’s longest friendships, Anna met Alex at Notre Dame Academy where they were on the swim and ski team together. Anna went on to graduate from Appalachian State University and now works in insurance. Alex was with Anna, visiting Anna’s family’s house on the cape when she first met Thad. A real day one friend, Anna has been there for many of Alex’s milestones and can’t wait to celebrate another one with her.
Christopher Fitzgerald
Groomsman
Being Thad's cousin means that Chris has been forced to be Thad's friend since he was just 5 months old. Chris and Thad have routinely enjoyed working on cars together, playing zombies (The Call of Duty Game) or just grabbing a bite to eat at Chili's. Chris will be joined by his wife Mary, and their son Finn.
Jennifer Aronow
Bridesmaid
Jenn and Alex met at Northeastern University in 2019 when Jenn joined Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority and chose Alex as her big sister. They lived together as roommates for 5 years and shared their love of dance, theme parties, and late night burritos. They might not be roommates anymore but Jenn will always be Alex’s “little sister”. Jenn is currently working in marketing and will be accompanied by her date, Matthew Greenberg.
Joseph Phillips
Groomsman
Joe is the youngest of Thad's cousins and also shares their passion for the outdoors, fishing, and hiking. Joe grew up with Thad being the classic older cousin (kind of a bully) but in recent years Joe and Thad have enjoyed hanging out. Joe has recently taken an interest in working on his VW Golf performing basic auto maintenance (with the help of Thad's lift). Joe is currently an EMT.
Sarah Erkson
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Alex met attending Northeastern University as members of Delta Phi Epsilon Sorority. They became close friends through Jenn, and then roommates. Sarah is not only Alex’s friend, but her nursing protégé as well. Sarah graduates this spring from Boston College with a Master of Science in Nursing. Alex and Sarah enjoy sharing their love of nursing and crazy patient stories together. Sarah will be accompanied to the event by her fiancé Michael Durkin.
Zachary Horton
Groomsman
Zack is affectionately referred to as Thad's "worst" friend and for good reason (if you know you know). You will immediately know which groomsman Zack is as he will be the only one brave enough to sport a full on mohawk at the wedding. Zack and Thad have been friends since the 6th grade. Zack is currently married to his wife Jocelyn; together they have a 2 year old son, Mason.
Emily Fears
Bridesmaid
Alex and Emily met at Northeastern University in 2019 and soon became friends and roommates. Quirky, fun, and creative, Alex is lucky to have a friend that understands her craziest ideas and creative pursuits. As an engineer herself, Emily is a great supporter of not only Alex's projects, but Thad's as well as he tells her about his car modifications and 3D printing. Emily is so excited to help Thad and Alex plan their day, even if it means helping Thad paint the Trans Am for their grand exit. Emily is accompanied by her roommate and long time friend, (and Alex’s new friend!) Mandy Blakeman.
Victoria Phillips
Groomswoman
Tori is yet another one of Thad's cousins. She too has been forced to hang out with Thad since she was born. Tori loves going hiking and fishing. Tori has also co-hosted Thad's Halloween and New Year's parties for the last three years. Currently Tori is a union plumber and is engaged to her fiancée Rachel.
Kelly McKeon
Bridesmaid
Thad's younger sister Kelly recently graduated from Westfield State University and is currently working in criminal justice. Kelly welcomed Alex into the family with open arms since the day they met; Alex is fortunate she had someone to help her navigate the lively, loving, laughing, and just a touch chaotic McKeon family. Kelly has always been hugely supportive of Thad and Alex's relationship, even if she always takes Alex's side. Kelly will be accompanied by her date Jack Clayton.
Eric Gendron
Groomsman
Alex's longtime friend, Eric, first met Alex when Anna brought him over to help choreograph dancing at her Quinceanera. Our resident Canadian, Eric graduated from Bishop's University in Quebec and now works in Canada, New England, and beyond as a recruiter for Bishop's. Since meeting Thad he and Eric have become great friends, and shared many great times down the Cape with Anna and Alex. Eric has always been a huge supporter and "hype man" for all of Alex's endeavors, and is so excited to support and celebrate Alex and Thad together as a married couple.
Brianna Mckeon
Bridesmaid
Thad's youngest sister Brianna is doing great work at the daycare, (the McKeon's family business), learning the ropes from her mom, Lisa. Brianna is so happy for Thad to have found Alex; she always says how they bring out the best in each other. While Alex might be an only child, Brianna has treated her like a sister since the day they met and they can't wait for it to be official. Brianna will be accompanied by her date Aidan McCarthy.
