Wedding Party
Caitlyn Blood
Matron of Honor
Caitlyn is my oldest sister. Despite being seven years apart, we've always been super close. Caitlyn always took care of me and shared all of her favorite shows and movies with me. She is and always has been, my biggest supporter, always cheering me on and pushing me in the best way, and always ready to be a shoulder to cry on when I needed her. Caitlyn could was the person to cheer me up and make me laugh in any situation. Still, we love hanging out together, because we know we'll always end up with stomach aches from laughing too hard.
Matthew Litchfield
Best Man
Matt is the husband of my oldest sister, Brianna and father to my nephew, Ollie and my niece, Ellie. Since we met, Matt has always treated me with kindness and respect like any loving big brother should. When I moved to NH to live on my own, Matt always went out of his way to include me in things. Every Friday night I would bring beer and we'd play Xbox until Matt would inevitably fall asleep with the controller in hand. Matt is happy to give me solid life advice and reassurances like the supportive brother he is. I'm proud to call him my best man.
Devon Blood
Maid of Honor
Devon is my middle sister. Devon and I butted heads a lot as kids, but have grown so close in our adulthood. Devon and I loved playing catch or Wii bowling together as kids on the off chance we were getting along! Even when we were fighting, Devon would be the first to defend me or to help me solve a problem. She is very protective over the ones she loves, especially me, being her baby her sister. She is loyal, and smart, and so funny. Definitely one of the funniest people I know. We could talk about nothing for hours, and laugh to whole time.
Eric Jedd
Groomsman
Eric is the husband of Tessa's oldest sister Caitlyn. We adore Eric. Tessa and I have always truly enjoyed spending time as the four of us. It's always so pleasant and such a genuinely great time. Eric and I could talk forever about what video games we are currently playing and what game we are looking forward to next. Eric might be the most kind guy I will ever meet. I'm so fortunate to be adding another brother in Eric.
Ciana Lazu
Bridesmaid
Ciana has been my best friend since high school. We took five years of Spanish together, and then traveled together to France, Spain, and Morocco in our senior year of high school. Ciana and I love watching horror movies together. When we were 15 and camping with her parents, we stayed in the camper to watch horror movies the whole weekend!
Chris Anderson
Groomsman
A fellow Chris, the fiancé to my sister Sam, and father to my adorable niece Maya. When Sam first said she was moving away to CA to be with Chris, it was hard. But knowing Chris the person, it was easy to turn our fears into excitement for both of them. Chris is always such a positive energy to have around. He's without a doubt the coolest guy I know. I'm happy to call him my brother.
Paige Merrill
Bridesmaid
Paige and I taught a toddler class together for about a year. She taught me everything I know about being a teacher, and we ended the year with a friendship that will last forever! Our classroom mantra was "every mess can be cleaned up" and we loved testing that with our kids. Paige and I were super in-sync in the classroom and have stayed that way since.
Andy Pryles
Groomsman
Andy and I met in high school and instantly became close friends. Our love of football and the Patriots made for instant friendship. Nothing represents our friendship better then the two of us for years getting up at 5am to be first in line at Patriots training camp. But it isn't just our love of football that we share, Andy and I always had the same interests in movies, shows, video games, and more. We could talk about anything and everything forever.
Brianna Litchfield
Bridesmaid
Brianna is Chris' oldest sister. She is such a warm and nurturing person, it's no wonder she is the incredible mother she is. Brianna welcomed me into her home and family from the very first moment we met. I'm so grateful to have her to look up to, not only as a mother, but as a person!
Austin Webster
Groomsman
Austin is a close friend from high school and that continued to UMass Amherst as well. We have always shared much of the same interests and hobbies. But my favorite of ours is our dedication and competitiveness in fantasy football. Austin and I would even up draw up ridiculous 8 player trades in class. Austin has a unique and blunt sense of humor that I've always appreciated.
Samantha Torpey
Bridesmaid
Sam is Chris' middle sister. Sam told us she was pregnant the night we flew into CA the last time we visited before moving. Chris and I were both over the moon, and I knew it was officially time to leave NH. Now that Sam has had her precious baby girl, we are so happy to be here to watch her grow!
Matthew Needham
Groomsman
Matt and I have been friends forever. We both grew up in the greatest neighborhood ever Stoneybrook Dr in Bridgewater, MA. Whether it was baseball, football, manhunt, bike riding, you name it, we had the best times. Matt and I would have countless sleepovers where we would play video games and talk all through the night (sorry Patty&Peter). I'm not sure there's ever been a game or show we both didn't like. Growing up, the Needham's door was always open to me as if I was family. I will always be grateful for that.
