Rebecca & Matthew
Wedding Party
Marie and Peter Shea
Mother and Father of the Bride
Marie and Peter are parents extraordinaire, the bride's biggest supporters, and are so much fun to be around. Always count on Marie for some encouraging words and confidence as well as to be the life of the party. Peter has patience that never runs out, and can talk to anyone. Meet them and you will love them!
Jacalyn and James Baronowski
Mother and Father of the Groom
Jim and Jackie are the most supportive parents and the ones you want on your side in any situation. From furniture shopping, to home renovation projects, and incredible Thanksgiving meals they have been a huge part of bringing the Shea and Baronowski families together. Many laughs, lots of wine, and SO many cookies have been baked in Thompson, Connecticut. You can always count on Jackie for her thoughtfulness and willingness to help with any task no matter how overwhelming, and to laugh a lot while doing it. Jim can get anyone motivated and even inspired the groom (and bride yikes) to take up running this past summer!
Judith Cobb
Nana of the Groom
Always has a good laugh for the bride and groom. Loves chocolate, and great nail polish colors. Best spoons player out there. Retired RN and has a great gift for taking care of those around her.
Amanda Arundel
Matron of Honor
Loyal best friend, witty and humorous, has world's cutest dogs. Amanda and Becca have been friends since being enrolled at Commerce daycare. As soon as they learned to write they frequently wrote letters that their parents handed off to one another at work. They have been there for each other through all major milestones, an elementary school graduation, a high school graduation, a college graduation, and Amanda's marriage to her husband Dan! They have experienced many awful photos, bad hairdos, family vacations and laughs. Pictured above: Buzz and Woody friends to infinity and beyond.
Ryan Baronowski
Best Man
Brother and soon to be BIL (brother in law). Makes phenomenal Sangria, and is smart enough to understand the stock market. Takes the best photos of engagements and is always prepared with champagne and frosted glasses. The voice of reason. Ryan and the groom regularly read each others thoughts and minds. He has taken countless long rides to help the bride and groom move and finish home improvement projects. Best man to be the best man.
Emily Fodor
Bridesmaid
Hilarious, sweet even when she is sassy, and the BEST math teacher on this earth. Emily and Becca bonded over their mutual hardships and triumphs on the dance floor, but their friendship has become more like family. Becca even lived in Emily's house a few days a week during grad school. As roommates and friends they got each other through allergic reactions, concussions, and being late for work- it was never a dull moment. Emily is one of the most beautiful people you will ever meet inside and out!
Ethan Dickinson
Groomsman
The handsome college and graduate school roommate of the groom. Smartest guy in the room, secretly a stud basketball player and is always down for a glass of great red wine. Also, good at knowing how to remove red wine stains. Will challenge your knowledge of the Lion King or any Disney lyrics. Most infectious laugh and makes everything fun.
Erin Ward
Bridesmaid
Best college roommate, comes up with new lyrics to songs regularly, and always goes out of her way for the people she cares about! Erin and Becca initially bonded over their love of white wines that are too sweet, whipping around in her mini cooper, "ugly" but cute Christmas sweaters, and their mutual level of messiness. Now they are lifelong friends and never fail to laugh or dance together.
Kevin Kerr
Groomsman
Freshman year best friend of Matt. King of dad jokes, and never in a bad mood. Loves craft beer and being a great friend. Featured on Fox Rehab's Instagram. Kevin got to know the bride during graduate school and he always made her feel welcomed. SO excited to celebrate with Kevin!
Bryson Debinski
Ring Bearer
Fearless, smart, and the best kiddo! Bryson's parents Kristen and Justin have been a huge part of the Bride and Groom's lives. They have been role models, friends, and are truly the greatest parents to Bryson. He has been able to say Becca since pretty early on, and loves to eat pumpkin muffins with his Uncle Matt. Bryson has the best sneaker collection, style, and taste in Christmas movies (he loves Home Alone). This boy will steal your heart, just like he has ours!
Sarah- Brehant Creations
Wedding Planner
Amazing wedding planner, and overall great person! Not to mention she answers emails from the bride and groom at all crazy hours. Sarah's creativeness, thoughtful planning style, ability to listen, manage expectations, and be the go-between for vendors has been invaluable to the bride and groom. Thank you for taking all of the stress off of us, and helping us every step of the way. It is so much appreciated!
