Kelsey Abel

Bridesmaid

Brie and Kelsey first met during their freshman year in college. The two didn't know each other two well, but they were meant to be in each others life.

Kelsey is also how Brie and Laura met and the three became family very quick. The bond they share was created in Plattsburgh and will never fade! After college, Kelsey was there for Brie whenever she needed a friend, helping her move and always there for vent sessions, even when she was jetting all over the country. If you ever want a moment captured- Kelsey's your girl! Not to mention the queen of the pun.

Amanda Santacroce

Bridesmaid

If you're feeling out of place, or lonely Amanda's your girl- She'll instantly make you feel like you've been friends forever!

Alison Florence

Bridesmaid

Brie and Alison have been friends for over 20 years. On the first day of first grade, Brie asked Alison to sit next to her and they quickly became friends. The two have had the type of friendship where it doesn't matter the distance or time they've been apart- whenever they see each other it's like they saw each other yesterday. It's hard to put into words all the things the two have been through together, but it's a special relationship that still goes strong. After years of pretending their Barbies were getting married, Brie was finally able to stand by Alison's side as she married her true love and now Alison gets to stand next to Brie on her special day too. Alison is the type of friend everyone should have- she's got a big heart!

Zach Fish

Flower Dude

Brie and Zach met during her sophmore year of college. Laura and Brie went around introducing themselves to the boys on the floor and met "Fish" as well as the rest of the boys. They all became like family, but "Fish" holds a special place in Brie's heart. They not only spent time together in college, becoming Brie's psuedo big brother, after college "Fish" received a job in Albany and then came to Brie's house to stay for a while- truly becoming like a big brother. Even though he's a country away, the two still keep in touch as much as a 3 hour difference will allow. You can find Zach singing and busting a move on the dancefloor with the rest of the Mason Family!

Brooke Lawrence

Junior Bridesmaid

Brooke is Zack's daughter and has been a part of Brie's life for the last 5 years. Brooke is a sweetheart with a spunky side. She cares about her family and has welcomed Brie into her family since day one! Brooke was even by her dad's side beaming when Zack proposed to Brie and shouted, "Please say yes!" Like any blended family they have their ups and downs, but Brie has a tremendous amount of love and respect for the young lady Brooke is. Brooke is a huge fan of NASA and Space and hopes to be an astronaut when she grows up.

Zack Lawrence

Groom

Greg Casey

Best Man

Greg is Zack's brother from another mother. They began a friendship in an internet chatroom, talking about music and other similarities(back before the Facebook/Myspace days ever began). They were also friends at school that used to play basketball before school most days. Funny thing was they had no idea they were the same person. It took them a while to realize they were the same people, and once they did the friendship only grew. Over the years, Zack and Greg have spent hours discussing and recording music. The two are definitely brothers in every sense of the word. Greg is still a huge music fan and loves golfing- He's helping Zack on his game too.

Matt DeAngelis

Best Man

Matt DeAngelis: Zack met Matt in middle school. Matt was one of Zack's first friends after he moved up to Rochester. One day, Zackwore a Cyprus Hill jersey to school and during a free period Matt happened to be sitting next to him and the sparked a conversation about music and the rest is history. They began talking about music and have been friends every since. Matt is the type of guy that will always be there for those that he cares about. Matt is currently working on creating his own business and is a super hard working guy. He might be a little stand off-ish at first, but once you're in his friend circle he will protect that friendship for life.

Jay Christman

Groomsman

The first time Zack met Jay he was out working on his car, which if you know them is super ironic, since Jay is usually the one working on cars. Jay came over to see with his sister, who lived in the apartment next door to Zack. Over the years, the two have worked on countless projects together. A few years ago, Jay came to work for Zack when he worked at the Tennis Club of Rochester. The two pulled several 24 hour jobs, probably the only two men that can do that. He's always willing to help a friend in need- actually Jay helped Brie and Zack on the very first day in their first home. The two spent several hours outside during the hottest day of the summer just to make the house ready to move in. That's the kind of guy he is and what makes him one of Zack's best friends

Pete Bartemus

Groomsman

Pete is a former coworker of Zack's. The two spent a great deal of time with Zack and the two quickly became friends bonding over the silly demands of all the members and management of the club. Zack and Pete had a special bond, even though they only worked together for a short period of time. They just clicked and even had their codes and languages about all sorts of things. Pete also met Brie at the tennis club christmas party after she had been let go from the tennis club. He made her feel right at home. Pete is a genuine southern gentleman and will always make you feel like you've known him forever!

Jim Booska

Groomsman

Jim is Zack's uncle and holds the record for the world's best love story with his wife Donna. Zack's grandmother used to always call Zack Jim growing up because he reminded her so much of Jim. Zack was so much a mini Jim that his own mom would make the slip and call him Jim. Until Brie met Jim and Donna, everyone would warn her of getting them in the same room and wishing her luck. When Brie got to Vermont for the first time, she was prepared for a crazy time, but instead she was greeted by an amazing couple that made her feel right at home. Like Zack says, "Jim and Donna will always make you feel like you're their favorite no matter who you are." Fun fact- Jim also has an amazing collection of Star Trek memoribilia filling their basement.
