Haley & Ciarán
The Wedding Party
Lexi Rome
Maid of Honor
**Lex – Sister of the Bride and Maid of Honor (obviously!)** Lex and Haley are total yin and yang. Growing up, Lex just wanted a *normal* sister who’d play house, hang out with her dolls, and whip up pretend meals. But nope—Haley was out in the dirt, riding dirt bikes with the boys and absolutely dodging all of Lex’s carefully crafted plans. (Sorry, Lex!) Lex is all about cozy winter magic and snowy days, while Haley thrives in the sun and at the beach. Despite her opposite vibes, they’re inseparable and always have *way* too much fun together. If you had to sum Lex up in three words, they’d be silly, kind, and creative. She wears her heart on her sleeve, always puts others first, and seriously, her creativity is next-level. Since she was little, Lex has been sewing her own clothes, woodworking with her dad, and coming up with genius ways to organize rooms. She’s basically a creative wizard in human form—and Haley couldn’t be luckier to have her as a sister and maid of honor! 💕
Brendan Healy
Best Man
Brendan is not only the man, he's Ciaran's BEST man. Their friendship began in middle school, and they instantly hit it off. From then on, it was always "B and Key," and that's still the case. Their bond was so strong that they were even awarded the "Inseparables" superlative in high school! Brendan is the kind of person who radiates kindness and generosity. He would give you the shirt off his back. Ask him at the wedding, he really will. Ciaran is very excited and honored to have a true friend like Brendan by his side for the big day.
Niamh O'connor
Bridesmaid
**Niamh – The Life of the Party and Sister Extraordinaire** Niamh is not only the big sister of the groom but also Haley’s fabulous new future sister-in-law! She has a superpower—she can make everyone feel at ease and can’t help but make you happy just by being around her. Niamh always has the best advice and somehow knows exactly how to cheer you up, no matter what’s going on. She’s also the queen of good vibes, making sure everyone’s having a blast. Honestly, it’s impossible not to stay up all night having deep, heart-to-heart talks with her until 4 a.m. (it happens *every* time). Oh, and don’t even get started on her and Ciarán—they basically speak in movie quotes, like it’s their own secret language. No one else gets it, but somehow, it’s still hilarious. Niamh is the kind of person you just *need* to have around for all the fun and unforgettable moments! ❤️
Gus Murphy
Groomsman
Gus and Ciaran go way back to middle school, where they first bonded over shared interests, a love for similar music, and a great sense of humor. Gus is a charming fella, and the kind of guy who seems to know a little bit about everything, making conversations with him always easy and interesting. Big fun fact guy.
Frankie Rome
Groomsman
Frankie is Haley's older brother, and we think Ciaran has finally earned Frankie’s hard-won approval to be with his little sister. Frankie is an all-around great guy and an even better father to his kids. He’s sure to be a highlight at the wedding and Ciaran is excited to have him as a big bro. Just a heads-up—don’t be surprised if you catch Frankie giving his new little brother a wedgie at the wedding. Just kidding... we hope.
Kaitlyn Rome
Bridesmaid
**Kaitlyn – The OG Bestie Turned Sister-in-Law** Kaitlyn is Haley’s bridesmaid and sister-in-law (married to her brother Frankie), but fun fact—she was Haley’s bestie way before she joined the family! Back when Haley was in middle school and Kait was graduating high school, (long before Kait and Frankie even started dating). Talk about a plot twist! Kait has the most contagious laugh—it’s the kind that lights up any room and instantly makes everything more fun. She’s also an amazing listener and has been there for Haley through all the ups, downs, and everything in between. And let’s be real, Kait always has Haley’s back—especially when Frankie is being annoying (classic sibling energy, right?). Whether they’re diving into life’s big moments or just cracking up together, Kait knows how to make everything better. She’s a total gem and the kind of person you’re lucky to have in your corner! ❤️
Jackson Rome
Groomsman
Jackson is Haley's brother and Ciaran's future little brother-in-law! Jackson is a genuinely funny guy—the kind of person everyone loves after meeting him. He’s also one of those people who seems to be good at everything, which can be a bit annoying. Ciaran is thrilled to have him as a little brother, though we’re pretty sure Jackson won’t be borrowing any of Ciaran’s hand-me-downs anytime soon.
Ellie Houlihan-Gavin
Bridesmaid
**Ellie – The Ultimate Hype Woman and Bridesmaid** Ellie is Haley’s bridesmaid and future sister-in-law, and honestly, she’s just the best. She’s the ultimate hype woman, always lifting everyone up and making them feel amazing. Ellie’s also a total jokester who loves a good laugh and has a gift for keeping things fun and lighthearted. Not only is she an incredible sister and friend, but she’s also the queen of good vibes—seriously, the party *starts* when Ellie shows up. Oh, and did we mention she’s a genius? She’s studying bio-behavioral health at Penn State, which means she knows big words and could probably outsmart everyone in the room (but she’d do it in the nicest way possible). Haley and Ciarán love having Ellie around—she’s the best kind of energy to have in your life! 🎉
Patrick Gavin
Groomsman
Patrick is Ciaran’s stepbrother, and they’ve always had a sibling-like bond, full of playful banter and friendly rivalry. Patrick is an awesome guy, super friendly and known for lighting up any room with his contagious laughter. Also this guy is a math and sports wiz. Hit him with some trivia questions, he'll nail them all.
Meg Fenton Funk
Bridesmaid
**Meg (Nutmeg) – Aunt Extraordinaire and Bridesmaid** Meg, aka Nutmeg, is not just Haley’s bridesmaid—she’s also her aunt. Haley is also Nutmegs certified mini-me! Growing up, Haley and Nutmeg were inseparable, to the point where people would constantly ask, *“Is she your daughter? You look so much alike!”* Spoiler alert: they’re just that close. Haley, Nutmeg, and Grammie have shared countless girls' trips that still rank as some of Haley’s all-time favorite memories. Nutmeg taught Haley how to dance and has always been the go-to for advice—her wisdom is basically superhero-level. Nutmeg has this way of lighting up every room she walks into, bringing nonstop laughter and fun wherever she goes. She’s absolutely hilarious, endlessly entertaining, and basically the life of the party. Every wedding needs a Nutmeg, but Haley gets to call her family! 🎉❤️
Chandler Mancovsky
Groomsman
What a sick name. Chandler and Ciaran met in high school, and their strong bond has only grown over the years. It's funny, they've never lived closer than 45 minutes apart, but distance has never stopped them from staying close and making time to hang out. Chandler is a genuinely honest and dependable guy. He's got a great dry sense of humor so be sure to chat with him at the wedding, he's hilarious.
Sean Higgins
Groomsman
Sean Higgins, the gentle giant. This guy is top ten nicest guys on earth. If you spilled your drink on him, he would apologize. He and Ciaran met in high school and a big inside joke of theirs is getting into fake fights. but we all know who would win in a real one... don't we Sean? Seriously, he's a joy to be around and always smiling.
Rachel Gover
Bridesmaid
**Rachel – The Ultimate Girls’ Night MVP** Rachel is a bestie of the bride and the queen of good times! She’s not just *quite* the party planner—she’s basically a walking, talking spreadsheet of fun (yes, she actually has spreadsheets for everything). Rachel has this magical ability to make everything more exciting, whether it’s a spontaneous girls' night or a big, fancy event. Speaking of girls’ nights, you *always* want Rachel there—she’s the one who brings the laughs, the vibes, and probably a color-coded snack plan. Haley knows any plan is instantly better with Rachel in the mix! 🎉
Shamus McBride
Groomsman
Shamus and Ciaran have known each other since elementary school. Even though they attended different schools after that, the two have developed an undeniable friendship. Shamus is a stand-up guy, selfless, hilarious, and full of wit. Everyone deserves a shamus in their life. His sarcasm is next level, so don't believe anything he says.
Gemma Vitez
Bridesmaid
**Gemma – The Bestie Extraordinaire** Gemma has been Haley’s best friend and rock since day 1 of college, and honestly, life’s been a hilarious rollercoaster ever since. They spent years living together, making memories they’ll laugh about (and maybe cringe at) forever. When these two are together, they’re either laughing until they can’t breathe or pretending they’ve got life all figured out while solving *each other’s* problems instead. Gemma has an uncanny ability to always put Haley first, being the ultimate hype woman and shoulder to lean on. Haley has Roger Williams University to thank for bringing them together—seriously, what *would* she do without Gemma? Probably cry into a pillow or make bad decisions without Gemma’s veto powers. ❤️
Quinn Barbeito
Groomsman
Quinn is betrothed to Haley's sister, Lexi, which meant that Ciaran and Quinn were thrown together while dating the Rome sisters. Fortunately, the two hit it off immediately. They share the same hobbies, interests, and can quote movies back and forth for hours. Quinn has a unique sense of humor — he'll make a quip that you might not realize was funny until a few minutes later, so be sure to catch all of his witty remarks at the wedding.
Tula Funk
Flower Girl
**Tula Daye – The Cutest Flower Girl Extraordinaire** Tula Daye!!! The sweetest little soul and hands-down the most adorable flower girl ever! Everyone calls Tula Haley’s mini-me. (daughter of Nutmeg of course) She’s a little bundle of wild and crazy energy with a heart so big it barely fits in her tiny body. Oh, and her adorable temper? Let’s just say it’s *chef’s kiss*—equal parts hilarious and charming (haha!). We can’t wait to watch Tula shine as she grows up—she’s already stealing the show and our hearts! 🌸❤️
Paxton Rome
Ring Bearer
Paxton Rome!!! Three words to describe this little man... expressive, gentle, and silly. I have to text Kait and Frankie daily with " more Paxton videos please." He is already SO funny and I kid you not, so expressive he has the best reactions. I cannot wait to watch him grow and turn into such an amazing man.
Jennifer Rome
Mother of the Bride
**Haley's Mom – Jenny May!** The true MVP of the family. She’d spend all day cooking and cleaning, and by the time she was done, her kids had eaten everything and trashed the place, so she’d just start all over again—without a single complaint. Born to be a mom, for sure. Growing up, everyone *lived* for her cooking, and she’s still that mom dropping off desserts at Christmas like a holiday elf. Oh, and she was a room mom for all four of her kids—you know, the parent that volunteers to cook snacks for the school rooms and attend the field trips. Mom loves to tell the story of how she tried not to come to Haley's class often because, if she did, Haley would scream and cry for her not to leave or beg her to take her along. How did she survive?? 😂 Mom and Ciarán have this hilarious bond—he eats her food, and she gets fake-mad if he doesn’t go for seconds. But honestly, its sweet how close they are. And no joke, Mom uses Ciarán to get Haley to do things because, apparently, he’s her favorite now. All kidding aside, Mom is pure magic, and Haley feels so thankful to have parents who are also her best friends. ❤️
Rob Rome
Father of the Bride
Haley feels so lucky to have always called her dad her best friend. From the beginning, she’s been incredibly close to him, going to him for everything. No matter what Haley is going through, her dad has a warm and calming presence that everyone deserves to have in their life. His advice and wisdom are unmatched— my favorite quote is “Now if you’re gonna do something stupid, don’t be dumb about it.” You can always count on him for a perfectly timed dad joke, and he has this amazing ability to use car mechanics to explain just about anything—whether it’s life advice, solving a problem, or just making a point. Somehow, it always comes back to engines, carburetors, or spark plugs. Dad and Ciarán’s humor together is also unmatched. Their banter is so good, and Dad will often laugh until he cries when Ciarán tells a story or does one of his spot-on impressions. Haley truly treasures the bond she has with her dad and how much joy and laughter he brings to everyone around him. ❤️
Marcella Houlinhan
Mother of the Groom
Marcella is not only Ciaran's mom but also his best friend, and they share an incredibly special bond. As a child, Ciaran was a huge mama's boy—and, truth be told, he still is! Whether it was watching the Bruins together, enjoying birthday dinner dates, or taking quick weekend trips, Ciaran has always cherished every moment with his mom. Marcella was born and raised in County Kerry, Ireland, in the small village of Ballyduff, but her personality is anything but small. She is known for her quick wit, fierce loyalty, and the ability to make anyone feel welcome and loved. Ever since Marcella and Haley met, they've been like peas and carrots. They’ve shared countless laughs, inside jokes, and a love for spending time together. Marcella lovingly calls Haley her "lap dog" because she finds her so cute and lovable. Keep an eye on these two at the wedding—they’re known to tear up the dance floor when drinks are flowing and the music starts!
Timothy O'connor
Father of the Groom
Tim is Ciaran’s father, originally from the beautiful town of Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland. A skilled craftsman with a love for history and poetry, Tim is also quick with a joke and has a natural ability to lighten any situation. Ciaran has always had a special bond with his dad and has looked up to him throughout his life. Tim is full of wisdom and always ready with great life advice, able to turn big problems into manageable ones with ease. One of Ciaran's favorite sayings from his dad is, "You know what the mouse said when he got caught in the trap? Might as well eat the cheese." A hardworking and incredibly talented builder, Tim never fails to amaze those around him with what he can create. Tim and Haley get along famously, and Haley quickly fell in love with his charming Irish accent—how could you not? Tim treats Haley like his own, welcoming her into the family with open arms and a heart full of love.
