Wedding Party
Matthew Giblin
Best Man
Matthew and Brandon are brothers who spent their childhood growing up in the great town of Methuen, MA. They grew up turning their neighborhood into a sports arena, especially for hockey. If there were kids outside, some type of game was being organized and played until the sun went down. As the younger brother, Matthew spent years trying to catch up to Brandon athletically, but Brandon gives him credit for getting very close. All jokes aside, Brandon is very thankful to have Matthew standing by his side on the big day.
Erica Araujo
Maid of Honor
As the bride's proud big sister and maid of honor, I've had a front-row seat of her entire journey- from childhood adventures and inside jokes to watching her grow into the incredible woman she is today. Being her sister means being her built-in best friend, biggest cheerleader, and occasional voice of reason. I couldn't be more honored to stand by her as she marries the love of her live. Watching her happiness has been one of my greatest joys and I'm so excited to celebrate this beautiful new chapter with her.
Jamie Adames
Groomsman
Jamie and Brandon met back in high school and also went to Umass together. During a late night at Umass, Jamie may have earned himself the nickname of "Usher". If you see a circle forming on the dance floor, there's a good chance that Jamie is in the middle of it. Brandon still hopes to one day learn some of the moves that you will all soon see.

Bridesmaid
Chantel and I met freshman year at UNE, and from day one we became inseparable. From dorm rooms to double shifts waitressing to our first “real world” apartment, we’ve grown up side by side. Some of my favorite memories — and probably a little chaos — have her right in the middle of them. She is one of the most genuine, loving, and loyal people I know. She loves deeply, shows up without question, and makes life brighter just by being in it. I have always wanted a love for her that matches the way she loves everyone else. Brandon, thank you for loving my best friend — all of her, including the part that occasionally misplaces her purse Chantel stood by my side as my maid of honor on my wedding day, and it means the world to me to stand by her on her big day. Chantel, I couldn’t be prouder of you or happier that you’ve found your forever
Keith Sullivan
Groomsman
Keith and Brandon met around 12 years ago when they started working at the same company on the same day. Since then, their careers have followed a predictable pattern: Brandon leaves for a new job two years later and Keith follows. Brandon was looking to get some space when he joined his current company 7 years ago, but Keith just joined that company back in March. Keith and Brandon have become good friends over the years even though Keith has lost his step on the basketball court.
Justine Munroe
Bridesmaid
Being one of Chantel’s best friends is truly an honor—one I know many people would cherish, because she is one of the kindest, most generous, and most lovable people you could ever have in your life. Chantel and I were lucky enough to meet in 8th grade, and by freshman year of high school we were inseparable. From that moment on, we’ve rarely left each other’s side. Even during college, when distance separated us, our friendship never wavered—we always made sure to check in, support one another, and stay just as close at heart. One of the greatest blessings of our friendship is how it brought our families together. We’ve shared countless vacations, holidays, birthdays, and family gatherings, creating memories that I will cherish forever. When it came to the man in her life, she knew I’d be honest—and all I can say about Brandon is that I absolutely love him. He has become an additional best friend to me, always making me feel welcome whether I’m third-wheeling, staying over, or joining them on vacations. Watching the beautiful life and family they are building together has been such a joy. I love you both so much and am beyond grateful to be part of this incredible new chapter in your lives
Matt Kusch
Groomsman
Matt and Brandon met around 12 years ago where Matt was formally accepted as part of the "BBK" (Bad boys of Kaspersky) although not having worked together. Over the years, Brandon has been very grateful to learn from Matt on the golf course. Matt's nickname on the course is "Par 3 Kusch" and Brandon has learned to not pull out the driver on nearly every par 3 like Matty does.
Lauren Fox
Bridesmaid
It’s been almost a decade since Chantel and I met at college at UNE and I couldn’t be more thankful that we did! We became best friends, sisters, twins, and more while on campus for school, living together junior and senior year and running around at the bars in Portland. Throughout the years after college we have remained inseparable from New Hampshire to Boston and vice versa, all the while growing into the relationships we have today. I truly tell everyone I know that Chantel is the sweetest soul I’ve ever met — not a single bad bone in her body. She is everything Brandon deserves and more, and I couldn’t be happier for them. Chantel stood by my side when I said “I do,” and I am so honored that I can stand next to her when she does the same! Xoxo
Chris Gagne
Groomsman
Chris and Brandon have been friends since a young age where they both grew up in the same town. Regardless if they were playing corn hole, basketball, etc they have both always been competitive with each other and have pushed to make each other better. Chris and Brandon used to enjoy spending time at the Whiskey Priest in Boston before it got knocked down. You did not want to cut them in line when waiting to go to the bathroom.
Christina Scionti
Bridesmaid
Chantel and I first met in middle school, and I am so fortunate to say we have been friends ever since. It’s not common that you meet a friend at 10 years old and get to go through all these life phases with. Over the past 20 years, we’ve experienced Pop Warner cheerleading, Shawn Terenzi’s Dance Academy, high school proms, college hockey games, and Old Port Bars. She visited me when I moved to Baltimore and became my rock when I decided to move home, and now we get to experience getting married together. We have truly grown up together, and her friendship is so special to me. Over the years, one thing that's never changed about Chantel is her loving, kind soul. She has such an infectious smile and radiates good energy. It is truly impossible to be upset or in a bad mood when she is around. I am so lucky to call her my best friend. I couldn’t imagine a better fit for each other. Chantel and Brandon just make sense and truly balance each other out. I am so excited to see the beautiful life they create together. Love you both so much xoxo
Marc Paradise
Groomsman
Marc and Brandon met around 11 years ago while working at the same company. When living in Southie, Brandon was a frequent flyer visiting Marc to have a night out on the town followed by some late night spicy goons. They would both eventually move in together in Everett where they had to learn Spanish to order their favorite burritos from a place down the street.
Alexa Psareas
Bridesmaid
Chantel and I met back in August 2013 during freshman year at UNE in her dorm room — all thanks to a mutual connection through Justine and her sister Jen (shoutout!), since Jen has worked with my dad forever. Proof that our lives were already overlapping even before freshman year — it really is a small world! From the second we met, we bonded over our serious shared love of Tyga (if you know, you know), which quickly turned into a lifelong friendship. Since that day, she’s been my forever best friend through every season — the kind of person who shows up no matter what, loves deeply, is there for you when you need it most, and brings sunshine into every room she walks into. I am beyond grateful for our friendship and so honored to stand by her side as she begins this beautiful new chapter as Mrs. Giblin. Chantel, I love you endlessly and couldn’t be happier for you and Brandon. Cheers to a lifetime of love, laughter, and memories!
