Having siblings is having best friends for life. As kids, that meant always having someone to protect you from the school-bus bullies, friends to “share” clothes with, and someone to ALWAYS watch Lizzie McGuire with. Now that we’ve grown, having my sister as one of my best friends means always having a shoulder to cry on, absolute and unconditional support, and endless stories to tell when we get the chance to catch up. Cheers to the bride and groom, may he make her as happy as she makes us.

Melissa Colwell

Bridesmaid

Allegra and I met our first year at Binghamton University, but the true catalyst of our friendship occurred at a thanksgiving potluck our senior year, whilst shoveling food into our mouths like feral animals. Since then we’ve travelled to the other side of the world together and have continued to share our love of good food, our dark sense of humor, and our killer dance moves.

Jenna Hendrick

Bridesmaid

Allegra and I met at a Chi Phi frat party our freshman year at Binghamton, where we were instantly drawn to each other by our similarity in height. We soon discovered we were the SAME height and decided from then on we were going to be best friends. From twinning and co-cat parenting to reuniting in the DMV, we've been keeping that decision alive for 11 years ❤ Enjoy our very first photo together in 2012!

Rachel Siciliano

Bridesmaid

Rachel interviewed Allegra for graduate school (you’re welcome, Legs) and once she arrived at Vanderbilt, they became labmates, work partners, workout buddies, savoring sisters, and best friends.

Nora Guerra

Bridesmaid

Nora and Allegra have been friends since middle school. With 15 years of friendship, they have been there for each other through it all! Nora is so excited to stand by Allegra’s side on her big day!

Lénie Torregrossa

Bridesmaid

Lénie and Allegra met at the Nashville airport, as Lénie welcomed Allegra to her interview weekend at Vanderbilt. They quickly realized that they shared a taste for pranks and playfulness, a passion for helping others, a love for new recipes, and a very, very close birth date. Over the past six years, their relationship has consisted of equal parts laughter and turning dreams into reality through riveting conversation.
