Kaleigh & Brandon
Wedding Party
Samantha Tripp
Officiant
Sam and Kaleigh have been best friends since Kaleigh wanted her mom to name her Tin-Man. Samantha is Kaleigh's sister, baking partner, and all around awesome human being who officiated Kaleigh and Brandon's original ceremony in May 2019. She will be reprising her role during the vow renewal, and will be tearing up the dance floor afterwards.
Kerry Cipoletta
Matron of Honor
Kerry and Kaleigh became friends on their first day of college at Westfield State, and the rest is history. Through their college years they became closer, and then eventually moved in together post college where Kerry and Brian introduced Kaleigh and Brandon, so now, they're sister-in-laws! It was without question, after the long hours of studying music history, their best friend vacations, and now sister-in-law/best friend days, that Kaleigh would need Kerry by her side as her MOH.
Siobhan Saunders
Bridesmaid
Siobhan is Kaleigh's cousin and was the first baby Kaleigh ever held! Now, she's an adult and almost done with college, but Kaleigh and Siobhan have stayed close. Through the last twenty years of Thanksgivings, Christmases and especially St. Patrick's Days, Siobhan and Kaleigh can usually be found somewhere laughing, and recently, drinking shots of Jameson. Come wedding day you'll certainly see Siobhan tearing it up on the dance floor!
Molly Sophis
Bridesmaid
Molly and Kaleigh actually didn't like each other when the first met! The only reason they even spoke to each other was because Molly offered Kaleigh a ride home from work one day, and Kaleigh took her up on it. On that 10 minute ride they realized they were more alike than they thought, and have been more like sisters ever since. Even though their Cosi days are long behind them, Kaleigh and Molly still make a point of getting together (mostly for ice cream and breakfast). Molly is the perfect person to stand up next to Kaleigh before getting her dance on at the reception!
Amy Taylor
Bridesmaid
Kaleigh met Amy through Kerry, but Amy and Kaleigh quickly became friends. During Snowmageddon in 2011, Kaleigh and Amy spent 96 consecutive hours together during a blackout, and after that they knew they would be friends for life. After college, Kaleigh and Amy lived together and to this day they make time to hang out and drink wine and chat about books. Kaleigh cannot wait to bust a move on the dance floor with her amazing best friend!
Brian Cipoletta
Best Man
Since the day Brian was born, he and Brandon have been inseparable. They have been best friends even when Brandon would unplug Brian's controller when they played video games. He is the best brother Brandon could ever hope for and is an all around amazing and kind person. When Brandon was coming up with his wedding party, Brian was immediately instilled as the best man.
Randy Cipoletta
Groomsman
Randy is both someone Brandon looks up to, and someone that got the two of them into trouble as kids, specifically with their Grammy. Randy is Brandon's older cousin, but ever since they were younger, Brandon always wanted to hang out with Randy and play street hockey, watch wrestling, or do whatever else his older cousin did. Randy is a kind and lovable goofball that never fails to make make anyone around him laugh, and come the day of the ceremony you will undoubtedly see what we mean.
Matt Soovajian
Groomsman
Matt and Brandon met each other when Brandon would go out to Westfield to visit Brian in college. Aside from bonding through their love of video games and anything nerdy in general, and just giving one another a hard time, Brandon found Matt to be the type of person that goes out of the way to support his friends. Matt is an incredibly compassionate and thoughtful person, and he will go out of his way to make sure things are good for anyone around him.
Caroline Pierce
Groomswoman
Brandon met Caroline, or CC as her friends call her, through Brian during his time at college. Brandon and CC quickly became friends through their enjoyment of video games and board games. As the years went on, and CC brought snow storms with her most of the times she came to visit, CC became like a sister to Brandon. She is one of the kindest and most talented people you will meet, and always brings a positive energy wherever she goes.
