Bride
Maid of Honor
The bride’s “little but much taller” cousin. Emily and Briana have been best friends since the day Emily was born. Anyone who knows these two knows that even though they aren’t sisters, they sure do fight like it. But at the end of the day these two have each other’s backs until the day they die. Don’t mess with either one of them if you know what’s good for you.
Bridesmaid
The “Ying to the bride’s Yang”. Maggie has been Briana’s best friend since high school. They both balance each other out for the better. Ever heard the saying, “opposite’s attract”? These two could not be more opposite but it works so well. They always have fun no matter where they are and always love to talk to absolute strangers every time they go anywhere together.
Bridesmaid
The “quiet sister”. Jessy is the bride’s little stepsister but don’t be fooled. Although she is quiet when you first meet her, some say that she is louder than the bride herself (which is hard to beat). Jessy is also one of the funniest people you will ever meet. Jessy once had her whole class sing “Happy Birthday” to Josh while he was her substitute teacher for the day at the high school because she knew it would embarrass him.
Bridesmaid
Marikate aka “big M” (as the groom likes to call her), is one of the bride’s best friends from college. Mari and Briana met the first day of nursing orientation at Worcester State. Between going to bars and clubs, walking the streets of Worcester at odd hours or going to the ER because Mari was dying from the Flu; these two have been through it all together.
Bridesmaid
Sarah “the adventurer” is one of the bride’s best friends from Worcester State. Sarah has done long studying sessions with the bride over the years (most of which had ended with them walking around Target aimlessly because why not?). Sarah loves going on “adventures” whether it’s to the C-store, Dunks, the mall or liquor store. Sarah is your go-to-girl when you want someone by your side.
Bridesmaid
Kara “go with the flow” Balboni, is one of the bride’s best friends from Worcester State. Kara is always down to do anything with her friends. Kara and Briana both share the same love for makeup and skincare. These two could watch YouTube makeup tutorials and reviews all day long and compare notes. A true testament to their friendship was Kara driving Briana to dunks almost everyday senior year in her legendary Crayon smelling Jetta.
Groom
Hello, the name is Josh Murphy nice to meet me! If you haven’t figured it out by now I’m THE Groom. There’s not much else I need to share but I’m going to anyway (it’s my day). Growing up people always referred to me as the most stunning, handsome, athletic, and overall best person they ever met in their lives. I might be quiet at first but if you really know me...boyyyyyyy watch out! Bris family probably thought I’d run away because I couldn’t handle the loud Italian-style family fights during the holidays. However they were wrong and I’m here to stay! I like sports, long walks on the beach, and embarrassing Briana whenever I have the chance. Something about the “Murphy” name just does that. Anywho, I look forward to seeing y’all soon (even in a weird covid world). One love!
Best Man
Aaron “ESPN Employee of the Month” Ross. When he’s not creating top 10 plays you can find Aaron on the golf course pretending he’s on the PGA tour! Aaron also loves pirates but we’re not really sure which ones! As the Best Man, Aaron has known Josh the longest and the two created the “Dynamic Duo” back when they peaked in high school. When they get together there’s a good chance they’re doing something embarrassing but do they care? Nope! Life is more fun that way! Aaron is a great man and has a stellar beard! Perfect fit for the job!
Groomsman
Eddie “The Meathead” Grenham. The true brother of the groom. Although the brothers don’t look alike, dress alike, or even have similar career paths, one thing is for sure, their personalities are exactly alike! Thank you mom! One time Eddie thought he would be cool while bowling and somehow ended up Charlie Brown flipping on to the floor with a thump that could be felt throughout the Commonwealth. He may be significantly older than the groom and nowhere near as good looking, but the brotherly love is there and will never disappear!
Groomsman
Derek “The Italian Stallion” Tammaro. The little brother that the groom never had but now does. This guy knows how to party. If the drinks are flowing he’s ready to go like it’s Homecoming Weekend in Durham. Don’t get it twisted though this party animal has loyalty tattooed across his forehead. It may not seem like it at first but if you mess with his family, he’ll come after you. Might take a couple days and a “Wait what...?” or two, but when it clicks get to stepping. Ha WORD!!!
Groomsman
Brian “Believes he’s an Alpha Male” Kotowski. The Adventures of Josh and Brian began when the two joined together as brothers at Umass. Whether they chant “Hot Damn Phi Gam” or “Born in the Backwoods” Josh and Brian always have a good time. Brian is the type of guy that lives life first and asks questions later. He may look tough and big but he’s just a giant teddy bear, with lots of tattoos and thick thighs that save lives. Don’t mess with him or you’ll get bounced!
Groomsman
Ben “Duna the Stunna” Donovan. You ever see a nurse that doesn’t skip leg, chest, back, abs, or arms day?! That’s a rhetorical question. You’re looking at one. Need your life saved? He’s got you. Need your blood pressure checked (Papa were looking at you) he’s got you. Ben and Josh spent plenty of time together growing up, especially camping with Nana. The “Night Riders” can still hear “Bennnnnnnn...Joshhhhhh” from the campsite as they tried to ride bikes around hiding. Don’t let his looks fool you. He’ll make your heart stop only to start it back up again..male nurses man!
Groomsman
Dylan “Howl at the Moon” DeWolfe. The “little” cousin who’s not so little. As a young-in’ Dylan loved running down a hallway into a living room getting absolutely pummeled by pillows. Pain? He doesn’t feel it. Challenge him and you’ll probably lose. Although he’s known for his athletic ability, that honestly came out of nowhere, he really should be known for the love he carries for those around him. He may be the baby of the family but if you throw this man to the wolves, he’ll return leading the pack. Ahwooooo!
