Maid of Honor
Sister-bestie for life. How she put up with me calling the shots for the better part of her life is beyond me, but I am so lucky to have her. You'd never know we're six years apart by how much we have in common and sometimes I get lucky when people ask if she's the older one.
Bridesmaid
We go all the way back to our youth cheerleading days where we wore the coveted maroon and yellow uniform. I used to throw Kelly up in the air for fun in both high school and college. We'll probably tell you that we won a bunch of cheer competitions back in our day and went to Maui, Hawaii together.
Bridesmaid
Colleen stayed friends with me after I sang Annie in a car to her family, so it's safe to saw we'll be friends for life. We share the same love for tv that makes us cry and listened pop punk in high school. She also threw Kelly in the air with me…and also went to Hawaii.
Bridesmaid
If you're still reading, you can probably guess that Kelly and I cheered together and went to Hawaii. You are correct. Basically, if you ask us about our trip to Hawaii, you'll be there for a while. We've traveled so many places together and I can always count on her to remind me that there's no such thing as too many mimosas.
Bridesmaid
We go back since the 2nd grade. I trust Kate with my life because she always has a wild adventure up her sleeve…like booking tickets to California to be in the audience of The Bachelorette.
Bridesmaid
From leading UMD orientations to dancing around our place in Watertown, she's the only person that could convince me that running a half marathon was a good idea. Ultimate goal is to be her most frequent visitor to Colorado.
Bridesmaid
Becky stayed in my living room during a winter session in college and we've been friends ever since. She knows all the dance moves to Grease and you should 100% ask her to perform it for you.
Bridesmaid
The woody to my buzz lightyear, my friendship with Jenna was sealed when she decided BSU wasn't the right college for her and she'd have more fun with us. I can always count on her to try a new workout, but she'll always be able to hold a plank longer than me.
Bridesmaid
Known for her killer shoe laces when we met, one time in college I let Julie dye my hair brunette. She later became my roommate for four years in Watertown. We came up with amazing app ideas on 'caturday' nights that probably would have made us rich.

Best Man
Number 1 of 3 in the brothers roll call, he's the best smile winning older brother who paved the way for me in high school so I could become most handsome in 2007. I was lucky to live in the same neighborhood in South Boston when we were older. I've always looked up to him and love that he's given me my first two nephews.
Best Man
Number 3 of 3 in the brothers roll call, Jake earned an incredible amount of man points growing up through me bossing him around during house parties that I threw (sorry, Mom). I always wanted to be the one to call the shots with Jake, but it was a battle already lost being the middle child. I admire Jake's sense of adventure and engineer smarts. Now that he lives in Virginia, it's always extra exciting when he comes back to visit.
Groomsman
Brian and I go all the way back to preschool. My biggest competition in the most handsome '07 battle, we of course had to be friends. In our 20's, he asked me to move to Boston and without hesitation I was in. Brian's always down for a party or a boys weekend at Dan Hole Pond.
Groomsman
Travis and I met the day we signed our lease in Boston and we had to put our acting skills to work that we were long time friends to the landlord. Lucky for me, he did end up becoming one of my best friends. Travis is our activities coordinator always making sure we have something to do, from beach activities to karaoke, we are definitely encouraging him to grab the microphone for Return of the Mack at the wedding.
Groomsman
Jacob and I became friends in high school and also lived together in Boston. We always enjoyed going out for a beer or sharing a late night burrito from Lee Chens. Jacob should start a one man band with all the instruments he plays and he's absolutely killer on the drums.
Groomsman
Friends since high school but known each other through grade school, Rob and I's friendship grew closer after living in Boston together. The OGs of 116 Dorcester Street, Rob, Travis, Brian and myself will always remember the excitement each year for Southie-Christmas, aka the St. Paddy's day parade (seriously, nothing will beat bagpipers in your own apartment.) Rob is our best hype guy and also tough competition to Katelyn's dad jokes.
Groomsman
Cousins make for the best of friends. Growing up, we had a blast swimming at Grammy and Grampy's pool together, traveling to Baltimore, playing in wiffle ball tournaments and celebrating the 4th of July with a cookout. Phil is in a band, which by nature makes him the cooler cousin, and even got me into playing the drums when we were younger. An incredible golfer, he's currently caddying in a PGA tournament!
