Catie and Joe
Wedding Party
Justin Horger
Best Man
Justin has been my bestest friend for a longgg time. We met back in freshman year in high school on the Salem soccer team. We later went on to the same college and lived together for a few years then went to work for NTG together. While we have had our disagreements every step of the way - and even though Justin has been over 200 miles away for a few years and now is about 1300 miles away - we still remain great friends.
Chuck Thomas
Best Man
I have heard that 'you can't choose your family - so you might as well learn to like them'. Something I learned a longgg time ago - but honestly I couldn't imagine a better Brother. He has always looked out for me and I do not want to think about where I would be if I didn't have him in my life. Chuck is one of the most selfless people I have ever met and is always there whenever I need him. Again - even though we have our (more than several) differences, I could not ask for any more out of a Brother.
Caitlin Rivera
Maid of Honor
I don't know where to begin. My best memories have been made with Caitlin. It's so fulfilling to have a best friend agree with every bad decision you've made, and make that decision for themselves too. I have never had to explain myself to Caitlin because she quickly learned to not ask questions. Nobody else would have skipped a track meet with me to go to the zoo- or eating contests at Mcdonalds at 11pm on a Tuesday- or entered and WON a Cutest Couples contest- or miss all of the busses to the championship track meet with me. Our friendship has always been easy. Caitlin has played the role of my #1 fan at track meets, my best friend, the closest thing I've ever had to a sister, and now my maid of honor. I couldn't imagine having anyone else stand next to me. <3 19
Ashley Speirs
Bridesmaid
Ashley is the longest standing friendship I have. We literally grew up together from the time we could walk. She has seen me at my worst- puberty, over tweezed eyebrows, and still has chosen to remain friends with me. Ashley is one of the most loyal and loving friends I have ever had. Much of my childhood and teenage years revolve around spending time with Ashley going to Ben & Jerry's and Cabot cheese factory, attempting to make our own clothing line, rapping to Eminem, taking horrific MacBook photos, and watching the worst movie we could find. There was only so much we could do in Vermont.
Morgann Carlson
Bridesmaid
Morgann BFFAE- Every time you came over, my mom had to grocery shop in preparation. I don't know if it is sad or comical that many of my memories with Morgann revolve around the massive amounts of food we used to eat. I really cherish those memories of making large, gourmet lunches right before track practice, which almost always resulted in throwing up at practice. I still have a hard time going for a run when I'm home and NOT stopping at Trow Hill to get a creemee, because of course we couldn't go for a run without stopping to get ice cream. During our senior year, Morgann and I became models solely for our photography class and that is something I never want to re-live. Fun fact: Morgann and I have matching tattoos.. that we got together.. on the same place..
Liz Faulkner
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Liz was the only cousin I had within a few years of me. We spent many weekends between Massachusetts and Vermont. I never had a sister, so Liz was the closest thing I had and I always cherished the time I could spend with her. I always loved visiting Liz because she had a huge pool and lived close to 6 flags New England. Priorities, right? I'll never forget the countless hours we spent trying to 'camp' in the back yard, learning to swim, and puking up the pancake breakfast all over the stairs (sorry Aunt Carolyn).
Lisa Wegner
Bridesmaid
Lisa is one of the most hilarious, happy-go-lucky people i have been fortunate enough to be friends with. It only makes sense that she owns a golden retriever. Lisa loves her friends blindly and without judgment. From her deep love for hot dogs, to her blunt sense of humor, there is no way to NOT love Lisa. Lisa has pushed me times I didn't want to be pushed. We supported each other through grad school and for some stupid reason, through a half marathon. Lisa was the first friend I met in grad school, and fortunately, one of the last.
Paige Heaven
Bridesmaid
I met Paige in 2019 and we clicked immediately. The night Paige and I met, we stayed up until 5AM talking like we were trying to catch each other up on the first 27 years of our lives, not even noticing the time. I knew I wanted to ask Paige to be apart of my big day the night I met her, but I waited 2-3 months to ask her so I didn't come on too strong. As it turned out, Paige and I live less than a mile apart, making it extremely convenient to grow the friendship. Other than her witty sense of humor, compassionate and giving nature, what I enjoy most about Paige is the fact that she knew Joe in high school and has an endless amount of embarrassing stories and photos of him during his chunky phase.
David Leonard AKA Dlen
Bridesman
Dlen... where to start. Dlen and I met in college through my MOH, but our friendship really blossomed after college. While some of my most memorable times with Dlen and the group were in college, we actually became close when we moved in together as adults. Although Dlen comes off as a light-hearted, funny guy, he has a lot more to him than just that. Dlen is one of the most accepting, non-judgmental people you will ever find. He will welcome anyone with open arms. Dlen has always chosen to be my friend, regardless of the circumstances. He is the most loyal friend you will find, and he makes a remarkable beer manager.
Jeffrey White
Bridesman
It may be taboo to have a man on the brides side, but I don't have a sister. I would regret not having my brother stand next to me while I make the biggest commitment of my life. Though Jeffrey and I certainly did NOT get along as kids, we couldn't be closer now. He has been there through every stage of my life, and will continue to stand by me while I enter the next chapter.
