Parents of the Groom
Maid of Honor
Alayna is Stephanie's sister! Alayna is not much of a crier. But the day Stephanie and Scott got engaged, she cried of joy all night long at her company faculty party. She did a great job of keeping the secret for so long as her and Scott were planning top secret details!
Best Man
Keith is Scott's brother! If it wasn't for Keith, Scott and Steph might've never met! Stephanie participated in Keith's Soccer Edge program when she was younger and recognized Keith when seeing him at Splitsville in Patriot's Place on May 2nd, 2015. Steph went over to say hello to Keith who then introduced her to his brother Scott! The rest is history!

Colleen has been best friends with Stephanie since the sixth grade! Steph tried to Facetime Colleen the night they got engaged and Colleen (a nurse) missed the call. She texted Stephanie and said "did you get engaged?" like she just had a feeling! Colleen would like everyone to know that she took the first photo of Scott and Steph together in 2016!

Marianna is Stephanie's first cousin and has grown up with Stephanie as her big sister. Marianna was there when Scott picked up Stephanie for their first date.

Marianna is going to be a SENIOR at Boston College this year.

John and Scott are first cousins and have always been very close! The day before Scott moved to Bradenton, Scott and John did a final round of golf. One of John's shots hit Scott in the leg. He was trying to get Scott to stick around clearly! It is great to all be back in the same city celebrating our weddings together at this time.
Bridesmaid
Taylor and Stephanie met at Roger Williams University and were roommates in South Boston after school! Taylor and Stephanie got dinner the week Scott proposed and of course were talking about when Scott would propose at the time haha! Steph told Taylor that she didnt assume it would happen soon (because Scott tricked her saying not until next year!) and that she would be shocked if it happened anytime like this week. Two days later, Stephanie Facetimed Taylor with the most happy news!

Matt and Scott are current teammates on the New England Revolution and have been for 4 years! Matt was his tenant in Walpole for 3 years! Matt remembers one of the first times Scott and Steph had dinner together at the house in Walpole. The three of us were watching Wheel of Fortune together and Scott answered one of the puzzles correctly. Steph then said “Woah” and it was from that point on he knew that they were meant to be.

Madeline is Andrea & Bill's daughter and will turn 1 both just before the wedding but will have her older brothers to guide her. The girls have assured us that they will be running down the aisle in no time! The cutest smiles and giggles will be provided along the way!
Flower Girl
Ioanna is very excited to be a flower girl in Thea Stephanie and Scott's wedding! Ioanna is going to be 6 years old soon and she grew up with Stephanie spending summers in the cape together. She asked if she could wear a pink dress for her flower girl duties, we will see! But we do know that her Dad is going to let her paint her nails which is a HUGE DEAL!!
Koumbari
In Greece, being asked to be the Koumbari is held in similar high regard to being the Maid of Honour or Best Man in an American wedding. The role has great significance in the Greek Orthodox Church, as the Koumbari plays an active part in the ceremony and is chosen as someone who the newly married couple will look to for guidance throughout their lives together. Ari is Stephanie's cousin and he married Evy 14 years ago at Lakeview Pavilion as well! They have 3 boys together who have been Scott Caldwell super fans ever since Stephanie introduced them to eachother 4 years ago. The boys have grown up loving soccer and this new relationship was something they were thrilled about supporting Scott at his games over the years. We are so happy to having Ari & Evy be a big part of our special day!
