Brian & Tracey
Wedding Party
Stephanie Walker
Maid of Honor
As Tracey’s younger sister, best friend, (and only sibling,) Steph will stand next to Tracey on her wedding day as her Maid of Honor - just as Tracey did for Steph on her wedding day. Steph is a pediatric nurse practitioner, a great baker, but most importantly she is an amazing mother to Tracey and Brian’s nephews (and favorite people) Anderson and Liam. Favorite memory: Coat ghost. If you know, you know. If you don’t, you weren’t raised by Maura Scherrer.
Andrew Friedman
Best Man
Andrew is Brian’s youngest sibling, only brother, and will be his best man. Because of their 10 year age difference, Brian got to watch Andrew grow up into the man he is today - from holding him and feeding him a bottle to watching him grow up and make drugs in a giant factory. They grow up so fast. There is no one Brian would rather go fishing with.. (sorry Rich.) Andrew will always be little man to Brian and his family.. Brian and Tracey actually had to wait to get married so he could legally drink at the wedding. Brian knows Andrew will do a great job in his role as best man and can’t wait to one day stand by Andrew’s side to be his. Favorite memory: First trip to Errol when Andrew was testing out his new fishing pole and just happened to catch a fish.
Maura Scherrer
Mother of the Bride
Maura raised Tracey to be much like her, selfless but fierce. Maura has been called many things (Paul.. this is where you come in..) but her favorite title yet is “Mamie” to her two grandchildren. On Tracey and Brian’s wedding day she will be Mother of the Bride. Expect Maura to be keeping tabs on everything.. but if she has had even one glass of wine that will go out the window and there is no telling what she might say. Favorite memory: Watching her beat breast cancer and graduate with her bachelors degree in the same year, like a rock star.
Cindy Friedman
Mother of the Groom
How can you write just one paragraph about the person who brought you into this life? The person who taught you how to be who you are. Truly one-of-a-kind, Cindy is the backbone for her family and will always be one of the most important women in Brian’s life. Always supportive of her loved ones, Brian seeks out Cindy’s advice and enjoys seeing her smiling face when he has good news to share. You will undoubtedly catch Cindy crying happy tears throughout the wedding day. Favorite memory: So many, but a recent one is seeing how happy she was finally getting to visit New York at Christmastime.
Rick Scherrer
Father of the Bride
The man, the myth, the legend. Rick Scherrer was a terrific softball coach, he has been called ‘MacGyver’ for his ability to fix anything, his nieces and nephews expect him to have a bag of nips ready for every family occasion, and his favorite people in the world call him “Grampy.” Rick will be walking Tracey down the aisle in style and dancing the night away, including the father/daughter dance with the bride. Favorite memory: Watching the clubhouse at Lynn Woods be named the Scherrer Clubhouse.
Rich Friedman
Father of the Groom
Self proclaimed weatherman and golf enthusiast Rich Friedman is the father of the groom. This will be the first time Rich has worn a suit since his own wedding. Rich gave Brian his love for bowling, fishing, and football. Though if the wedding day aligns with the perfect fishing weather, you may not see Rich. He will be on his boat “catching a million fish.” Favorite memory: When he was backing up his boat and he said “only experts can do this” and backed it into a pole.
Rachel Conti
Bridesmaid
Rachel has been like a sister to Tracey from the very start. Tracey, Rachel, and Stephanie were inseparable growing up, playing on most softball teams together and having neighborhood manhunt games whenever possible. There were years where it would be considered weird if Rach wasn’t at the Scherrer dinner table. Tra, Rach, and Steph were given the nicknames ‘tracel’ and ‘racenie’ from their Nana, who thought that was easier somehow. Favorite memory: Summers spent at 38 Fairview.
Adam Moaratty
Groomsman
A full time, professional Mick Jagger impersonator, Adam is also one of Brian’s oldest friends. Adam and Brian were neighbors and have been by each other’s side growing up. Whether it be getting drunk in the Friedman’s basement or rattling off political facts - Adam will be one of the party highlights. He continues to be a fan favorite on the dance floor, though you might find him asleep in a chair by the end of the night. Favorite memory: When Adam tried to fight bouncers at Bernies and Brian had to pull him away.
Allyson Friedman
Bridesmaid
Allyson is the sister of the groom, look for the girl with the curliest hair. Allyson is a dog mom to her 10 year old dachshund, Bella, and she can tell you anything about Disney movies. She loves video games because she and Brian grew up playing them together, it’s a bond they will always have. Favorite memory: Watching her bowl her first 200.
Steve Chambers
Groomsman
Steve is Brian’s oldest friend. They first met in Mr. Forbes’ U.S. History class and were inseparable throughout high school. Through all of life’s ups and downs they have always stuck by eachothers side. Steve is the person Brian calls to go on a tangent about any sport and he will be able to go back and forth for hours on it. Even though the two don't see eachother in-person as often as they’d like, they still talk almost everyday. Look for Steve on the dance floor he will be serenading Brian with ‘Simple Man’ and Brian will be laying on his piano. Favorite memory: Playing ‘Heavy Rain’ for the first time. JAYYY SUNNNN.
Eliana Field
Bridesmaid
Eliana and Tracey met in the first grade at Shoemaker elementary school and they have been best friends since 1996.

Favorite memory: Being responsible for twenty 3rd graders together as Project Learn counselors at the age of 16. Alternate: Eliana attempting to steal a 7 foot tall Corona bottle sign from Jose Mac’s.
Matt Laplume
Groomsman
Matt is the master of games, hunter extraordinaire, and an amazing husband to his wife, Sam. Brian and Matt met at a board game convention, where Matt was one of the only people who wanted to play the most complicated games like Brian. Together they have amassed 100s of hours of mind-bending cardboard complexity. They have been friends for years now, bonding over tons of different hobbies and Brian is so excited to have him as one of his groomsmen. Favorite memory: Playing Indonesia for the first time correctly.
Briana Galeazzi
Bridesmaid
Tracey and Briana have been best friends for 27 years. A friendship that spans 3 decades, includes 4 graduations from K-12, 2 undergraduate degrees, 2 graduate degrees, living thousands of miles apart, and traveling the globe together. Bri will be dancing the night away - but just one half second off beat - and you can bet she will be whispering so loudly the DJ will know what she thinks of his outfit. Favorite memory: Camp child abuse. You know.
Steve Doherty
Groomsman
As far back as Brian can remember, Steve came as a package with Adam. Brian’s first memory of Steve was ‘the kid who stole Logan’s steering wheel ball just to mess with him.’ Then Steve grew like 4 feet taller and worked with Brian and Stop an’ Shop, where they didn’t actually do work and took 2 hour lunch breaks. Long hours in the dairy cooler with Mr. Clean Chris. Favorite memory: Seeing Muse in Boston.
Johanny Castillo
Bridesmaid
Johanny and Tracey met while both working for Lynn Public Schools. For the near five years that Johanny has known Tracey, she has been her biggest cheerleader and one of her closest friends.

Favorite memory: Getting to plan our weddings at the same time!!
Nara Ok

Lauren Simmons
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Tracey first met at Pickering middle school, and then graduated to attend LCHS where they would lie to their parents about who’s house they were sleeping over, all just to drink Caldwells out of a water bottle in the woods. Lauren is the friend you need to tell you how it is, and she will say it loudly if she has had any alcohol at all, but she’s also the supportive friend who will always cheer you on. Favorite memory: Lauren’s bachelorette party. One for the books.
James Aldrich
Groomsman
Mr. James, the world traveler. He is coming all the way over from the Netherlands to celebrate our big day. He is one of Brian’s oldest friends.

Favorite memory: Completing overcooked 1!
Olivia Anderson
Bridesmaid
Despite the 8 year age difference, Liv and Tracey find mostly common ground in the millennial/gen-z disputes through Harry Styles, Lizzo, and tik toks about the masterpiece that is the original Jersey Shore.

Anderson Walker
Ring Bearer
A true pandemic baby, Anderson arrived in July of 2020, making Tracey Auntie Tizzey. Brian and Tracey are two of Anderson’s favorite people, but they fall short on the list when compared to Tracey and Brian’s dog Auggie - who Anderson thinks is the best thing since sliced bread.
Kiera Carroll
Bridesmaid
Tracey was 17 when Kiera entered onto the scene in 2007, making Tracey just ‘one of the big kids’ to K for much of her childhood.

Jane Kelley
Officiant
Jane is Maura’s best friend - the Kristen Wiig to Maura’s Maya Rudolph. Because she is a Justice of the Peace, she is legally qualified to perform the ceremony. But as an extended member of our family, Jane is the perfect person to marry Tracey and Brian. Jane has watched Tracey grow up and was the first person to ‘add’ Brian on Facebook when they started dating. Favorite memory: OBX trip!
Auggie Scherrer Friedman
Guardian of the House
Due to crippling social anxiety, Auggie will not be joining the wedding. Still, he is the center of Tracey and Brian’s universe and deserves the most honorable of mentions. (Says Auggie.) Auggie is excited for however this wedding personally helps him and that’s it. Thanks for stopping by!
