Brittany & Briana
Wedding Party
Jennifer Bergin
Briana's Maid of Honor
Inseparable for over two decades, Briana and Jen first met in the shallow end of the community pool during the summer before 3rd grade. They spent the entirety of their elementary, middle, high school & college years by each others sides, and would have continued living life joint at the hip if adulthood hadn't factored some physical distance into the equation. But even living an hour apart now doesn’t stop them from speaking almost every day, spending hours on the phone together (oftentimes in comfortable silence) just for each other's company. Jen has always been more of a sister than a best friend, and has been integral in supporting and encouraging her to be the person she is today. From every core memory Briana has had, to every seemingly inconsequential one, Jen has been there through it all (and if she wasn't there, she got a phone call right afterwards). With 20 years down and a lifetime more to go, Briana could not be luckier to have Jen by her side.
Shannon Bligh
Brittany's Maid of Honor
Brittany and Shannon's friendship started in the cello section of their middle school orchestra and was solidified when they were sat (alphabetically) next to each other in art class. Fast friends since the 6th grade, the two quickly bonded over their love of the Beatles, Phantom of the Opera, and emo music. Between dance class, girl scouts, youth group, international trips, and school plays they've always been by each other's side as best friends and ride or dies. Shannon is the level-headed friend you spill your heart out to, the absolute biggest cheerleader and hype person around, and the friend you go to when you want to vent and yell about things (no matter how crazy or mundane they sound) because instead of judging you she'll join in and yell with you. She has been the most incredible and steadfast friend for nearly two decades and Britt is so lucky to have her by her side for support.
Charlie Bergin
Officiant / Briana's Bridesman
Solidifying his place as Briana's Longest Friend, Charlie has been a part of her life since she was born. Though their early days consisted of a long distance friendship, when Briana and her family moved to Charlie's hometown in elementary school they began to see each other more frequently. Many years and many never-ending games of Taboo later, Charlie is an irreplaceable member of Briana's chosen family (it doesn't hurt that Briana introduced him to his wife either). Charlie is the type of person who can make anyone and everyone feel comfortable around him. He'll go along with your crazy schemes, and suggest some of his own while he's at it (he loves a good prank, and Briana loves watching the chaos unfold). Charlie effortlessly wins the heart of every person he meets, and has been there from the very start of Briana & Brittany's relationship, so it was a no brainer when the two of them started talking about who their wedding officiant should be.
Brittney Wittmer
Brittany's Best Woman
Middle school besties, forever bonded over sharing the same name (with different spelling of course). With a shared love of Harry Potter, anime, the Jonas brothers, Doctor Who, Superheroes (the list goes ON and on and on....) these two spent the entirety of middle school and HS glued to the hip. Brittney introduced Britt to her love of writing, and the two of them would spend countless hours and many a sleepover dreaming up wild scenarios together. They've been through it all , and Brittany considers her more of a sister than merely just a bestie. Brittney is the type of friend who will volunteer at the drop of a hat to build all of the Ikea furniture in your house, drive across state lines to see you, agree to any seemingly outlandish plans without hesitation (while clad in an incredible themed outfit), and plan out the most thoughtful and creative hand-made gifts. She is a shining light in both Britt and Bri's lives and they are both so lucky to have her.
Emily Keller
Briana's Bridesmaid
Friends since senior year of high school, Briana and Emily met through mutual friends at a New Years Eve party - where Brittany (who had known Emily since the 2nd grade) informed the two of them that they were actually neighbors. They spent the rest of senior year together, tag teaming it to find friends willing to drive them to school so they could avoid taking the bus, and spending most of their evenings making midnight trips to the beach, with a pint of ice cream in hand. Emily is always up for anything, and is a never-ending source of joy and support in Briana's life. Her creativity knows no bounds, and her parties could put pinterest boards to shame. Briana has always taken solace in their friendship, because hanging out with Emily means forgetting all of your worries and laughing so hard you cry. Every time.
Grace Henderson
Brittany's Bridesmaid
Sharing a crumbling college apartment together truly forms a deep and unbreakable bond! Grace and Brittany have been friends since day one at Marist, where they spent their undergraduate years baking late night pies, binging Supernatural, and getting up to general hijinks. A friendship with Grace means regularly laughing until the point of painful tears, attending the most incredibly thought out and creative parties, spending hours on the phone catching up, and eating incredibly delicious home cooked food. Whether she's reading your fortune or painting the walls of your new apartment, Grace shows up in full force with a positive attitude and kind heart. On top of being an incredible friend, she is also incredible dog mom to the fabulous Dharma, and equally fabulous aunt to Britt and Bri's dog Kiba.
Kristine Hale
Briana's Bridesmaid
Kristine lights up every room she walks into with her shining personality and infectious laughter. Her and Briana became friends senior year of high school during their Senior Class Trip, where they bonded quickly by spending a majority of their trip away from everyone else in Kristine's hotel room (which actually ended up benefitting them when the rest of the senior class caught a viral infection ceremoniously dubbed "Senior Plague"). When Kristine suggested that instead of going to prom, they attend a concert in NYC instead, Briana knew they would be friends for life. Despite Kristine currently living her best life abroad in London, their groupchat remains VERY active, and Briana knows she can always depend on Kristine for some solid advice and support.
Alex LoFaso
Brittany's Bridesman
This picture says it all! As the older cousin, Alex has taken up the job of annoying Brittany since day one of her existence. The two of them like to joke that if they weren't related that they wouldn't be friends - but really they're both two sides of the same stubborn coin. As the appointed family travel guru, you can usually find him half-way across the world (gotta love those airline perks) or pitching family vacations! Along with his sister Ashley, the three of them share a deep love of Disney and travel. He may like to tease her (definitely out of love), but Alex is always there for Britt when she needs it and to be her cheerleader for big life moments. Brittany loves him a lot, even if he threatens her with karate moves. At the end of the day, she couldn't imagine her wedding without him standing up there in support.
Madison DiLonardo
Briana's Bridesmaid
Your friendly neighborhood Jock™, Maddi and Briana became quick friends through bonding over their shared love of videogames and anime, after being introduced through Britt. Maddi is the kind of friend who will match her eyeshadow to your favorite color on your birthday and send you custom tailored tweets and memes because they made her think of you. She has a heart of gold, biceps of steel, and there is no one Briana trusts more when it comes to opinions on what flavor chips are best. Between hotpot and karaoke double dates, dining at the DiLonardo Kitchen, and many a game night, Maddi (and her husband Anthony!) are incredible friends to Britt and Bri and they value their friendship immensely.
Ashley LoFaso
Brittany's Bridesmaid
The cool oldest cousin™. 7 years her elder, Brittany has looked up to her pretty much her whole life. Always down to try a new experience or travel somewhere new, Ashley lives an adventurous and inquisitive life which Britt has always admired and strives to emulate. The two of them share a love of creativity and art - between photographing/documenting the world, making little craft projects, and baking, to name a few. As a massive Disney fan, Ash and Britt have spent countless family trips running around the parks together trying fun foods and crying at firework shows (listen, they're emotional okay?) You don't get to choose your family - which is why Brittany is so lucky that she has Ashley to support her and geek out with.
Kemberly Timmons
Briana's Bridesmaid
Kem and Briana's friendship is the textbook example of what it's like to meet someone and instantly click. Meeting friends in your late-twenties can be tough, but becoming friends with Kem was incredibly easy because she's such a thoughtful, caring, fun-to-be-around person. Kem (& husband Bobby) are Bri and Britt's Queens besties - always down for last minute plans exploring the neighborhood, dog dates, and movie nights. The two of them quickly fit into their lives and became such an important part of their support group. Kem is the type of friend to craft you personalized gifts and goodies (all hail the Cricut Queen), volunteer at the drop of a hat to dogsit, and stay up way past her bedtime because she doesn't want to stop hanging out with her nightowl besties. Her dog mom advice has been invaluable, as the proud parent of Kiba's best bud Miss Juju Bean.
Bobby Timmons
Briana's Bridesman
Third member of the BB(B)s, Bobby is a joy to be around and makes Britt and Bri laugh on the daily. As friends who have only been in their lives for a short time, Bobby (& wife Kem) have made a big impact. It was friendship at first sight when Britt & Bri were introduced to them during a family Christmas Eve party, even if it meant losing a lego set and Disney board game to them in the annual grab bag. Bobby's personality alone has more than made up for the loss though, as he is one of the kindest souls B&B know. Having Bobby in your life means having on call tech support 24/7, Pokemon Go adventures, and having to watch what you wish for in front of him (because the minute you say you need something, he has already ordered it and will make sure to deliver it to you in approximately 3 business days).
