Wedding Party
Meghan Boccella
Maid of Honor
Legally my second cousin, but in this family we don't do "second" and "first" cousins. One of my earliest memories together was going to St. Joe's basketball games with our dads. More recent memories are of us down the shore at the OD or going to local NoLibs bars (RIP Bourbon & Branch). From cousins, to roommates, and now my maid of honor. We would (and still do now) spend hours yapping on our couch and never run out of topics. She's one of the kindest and most loving people you'll ever know. Even though we are only two weeks apart in age, I look up to her so much. I'm so grateful to have someone like her standing by my side.
Chris Allan
Best Man
It was such an awesome feeling to be able to ask Chris to be my best man. My lifelong hero, and best friend, we have been through so many fun moment in our lives. It was a “Mojo Dojo Casa House” of Dad, Chris and I, as Alicia likes to call it. Through those years, we had so many fun moments as a family together...golf tournaments and St. Bonaventure basketball games...what else is new? All these moments were spent alongside one of my two heroes, with the other being my father. Chris taught me so much and is an intregal part of who I am as a man today. He'll be lighting up the room on wedding day, and like us Allan's he won't be hard to hear! I'm so happy to call him my brother and Best Man.
Becca Bernard
Bridesmaid
Becca is the older sister I never had and I'm so happy I have her as my cousin. A majority of my childhood memories with her are us in matching outfits, courtesy of Mommom. But I wouldn't have it any other way, because I idolized her. Anything she liked became my new obsession. We've always been each other's support systems in navigating life - relationships, moving away, college, having the cutest baby on the planet, etc. I don't know where I'd be without her.
Andrew Heesen
Groomsman
I couldn't be happier to see the man that Andrew has become, and I am proud to call him my soon to be brother-in-law! Andrew and I have grown to become close friends throughout Alicia and I's relationship. From the Game 7 heartbreak of 2021 (the Father's Day debacle of Hawks vs Sixers...Ben Simmons :/) - to an unforgettable summer in Sea Isle City with our shore house in 2023, Andrew and I have had so many fun times together, and I couldn't be more excited for the many more ahead!
Kate Savitski
Bridesmaid
Kate and I were attached at the hip in college. Through both of our tough majors, club soccer, and our sorority, we were everywhere together. From elevated surfaces in the frat basements, to country concerts, to being in each other's weddings, our 10 years of friendship has meant so much to me. It's rare to find someone who challenges you and pushes you to be better in multiple areas of your life. I'm so inspired by Kate's hustle and her ability to find the humor in everything.
BJ Boyer
Groomsman
Where do I begin? It started in 6th grade when BJ and I first met each other. BJ was the new kid in school, and I was a curious overzealous 6th grader, looking to spark up conversation. It's been 18 years since then, and I can't even being to describe the impact he has had on my life. From the grade school dances and chasing the ladies, to growth and becoming young men throughout our 20s. Our relationship is one built on trust, honesty, and loyalty. A brother, a best friend, a shoulder to cry on, and a partner to enjoy this life with. He's the life of the party and you'll see that on wedding night, keep an eye out!
Alexa Ross
Bridesmaid
Shoutout to our 5th grade "Million Dollar Project" for bringing us together. I truly loved trying to guess how much a private Jimmy Buffett concert would be on the new yacht we just "bought". We have been through the awkward phase together, and still chose to be friends. That's love right there. I am constantly impressed by Alexa and her drive to achieve her dreams. She is one of the most intelligent, self-less, and real individuals. I'm so grateful to have gone through so many life stages with her by my side.
Matt Swansey
Groomsman
Matt, or just Swansey...as most of us call him. He and I were living right across the hall from each other freshman year in 2nd Rob. We got to know each other weekly on our walk back from History class and during that time I knew I met one of the most genuine dudes you'll ever be around. He was someone that truly took an ear to your story and conversation and was someone that knew a little bit about everything - which I always thought was a cool trait of his. I've seen him grow into a tremendous young man. With a son on the way, I am so excited to see him become the great father I've always known he would be!
Rachel Petke
Bridesmaid
Would you believe me if I told you that we became friends in a frat basement? Rachel quickly became one of my closest friends at Seton Hall. Whether it's spilling tea, sharing tiktoks about the difficulties of being an eldest daughter, or keeping me up to date in all things The Bachelor/Bachelorette, there is rarely a day we aren't communicating. Her creativity blows me away and we can all thank her for designing everything from the website, to our invites, and all the signage at the wedding! I'm so lucky to have such a generous and kind friend like her.
Hunter Page
Groomsman
Hunter and I have been close since Day 1. 3 years together as roommates from Shay to our off-campus house Hotel, we have enjoyed so many fun experiences together. From all the Bonaventure and Rochester festivities, to an unforgettable $500 uber from NYC to Boston...YIKES - Hunter has always been my right hand man from college until now. We may facetime for 1-2 hours with what may seem like sometimes juvenile conversation, but those moments are what make our relationship so special, we can just be ourselves and relate on so many different levels.
Marisa Harding
Bridesmaid
Marisa and I bonded over our love of organization and desire to procrastinate studying for physics exams at Seton Hall. I don't think I would have graduated without her. She is the definition of a friend that will be down for anything and often the life of the party. Whether it's to Scottsdale, Portugal, or Philly, that trip makes it out of the group chat. I've loved navigating adulthood with Marisa. One of the silliest, hard working, and fun people in my life.
Kevin Doyle
Groomsman
Doyle and I met in the Hickey dining hall of St. Bonaventure. We realized our father's had known each other from their time at Bonas and both were from the Philadelphia area, a small world at a small school. We enjoyed many a weekends in NYC together as roommates for 3 years, and could probably write a book on all the stories we have from those years. Doyle and I were always on the same page when it came to a lazy Sunday, and when to call for a night out with the crew. I'd like to say I got Doyle into golf, as he took his game from meh to legit in a pretty quick time period through all those rounds together in the pandemic times. Oh yeah, can't you tell we like to call him by his last name? Doyle rules.
Katherine Rawlik
Bridesmaid
My work wife! Katherine and I have been buddies on work trips and in work meetings since 2019. We've grown to become each other's sounding boards in and out of work. Her work ethic is unmatched and her ability to make you feel heard is one of the many reasons why she is such a great friend. Our usual dinners and nights out become venting sessions that we didn't know we needed. Katherine is one of the most loyal and gentle friends. I'm forever grateful for the friendship we have.
Nick Boccella
Groomsman
Nick Boccella and I have become close friends since Alicia and I started dating. We first met each other after a late, late night at The OD and we were eating a cheesesteak with Cousin Sal at Casino Pizza around 2:15am. I'll never forget that day. Nick knew he'd get along with the Allan's when he showed his college basketball knowledge. We were blown away to say the least. Nick and I have enjoyed so many fun moments together. We may have blared 'In Bloom' 500 times together or made you play guitar at 3am, but I'll never forget those moments together. Nick's been a huge asset into my life!
Matt Tucci
Officiant
'Mattie' is my closest cousin, and one of my closest friends. He is someone who I have gone to for advice throughout my life, and been an older brother figure to me..especially throughout my childhood. From listening to Tupac and POD in his room with every Rolling Stone magazine poster on the wall, to watching every WWE DVD and Tape known to man (even if Aunt Elise rather me watch cartoons)...I spent a lot of my childhood alongside Mattie. Through all of the ups and downs, we have been there for each other when we needed each other most. Love you Tooch!
Jack, Luke, & Hudson
Ring Bearer
Our nephews are everything to us. We can't believe how lucky we are to have the three of them as part of our special day. On our wedding day, Jack Allan will be 6 years old, Luke Allan will be 4 years old, and Hudson Bernard will be 11 months old.
