Peter Collin
Best Man
Where are you coming from? Boston, MA How do you know the Bride/Groom? Joe and I went to middle and high school together. We initially grew close through taking extra math classes in High School and playing the bass line in band class (Joe on the baritone saxophone, myself on the tuba). After taking our own paths in college and beyond, we have stayed close through watching Star Trek movies, traveling cross country and now running. What part of the wedding are you most excited about? I am excited to definitely *not* cry during the ceremony. What do you like to do for fun? I enjoy long distance running, watching baseball and spending time with my wife, Helena.
Alexis Hughes
Bride's Angel
Where are you coming from? Little Rock, AR How do you know the Bride/Groom? Anna and I met our first week at Middlebury College in February 2014. Our friendship blossomed over the following four years and after graduation we remained friends! What part of the wedding are you most excited about? I'm looking forward to watching Anna walk down the aisle, knowing she and Joey will be stepping into a bright new chapter of their lives. I am already anticipating having a good cry witnessing it all! What do you like to do for fun? I can tend to be a homebody, so I love having friends over, sitting outside on the deck and just cracking each other up (usually over a glass of wine). Nothing beats making the time to nurture the friendships with the people you adore most!

Seeing Joe and Anna tie the knot with someone that appreciates the other person and will be there with them through life. What do you like to do for fun?

Where are you coming from? Westerly, RI How do you know the Bride/Groom? I met Joey about seven years ago, when we were both working on sail boats in Baltimore and have been friends (and sometimes roommates) ever since. My Fianceé and I met Anna at a spirited game night shortly after her and Joey started going out--luckily she agreed to hang out with us again and we're happy to all be neighbors! What part of the wedding are you most excited about? I'm looking forward to getting to meet Joey's and Anna's families and friends and getting to all celebrate their first step into marriage together. What do you like to do for fun? Woodworking, fishing, video games, playing with my cats, and hanging out with my lovely fiancee.
