The Families
Deirdre Spielman
Mother of the Bride
Deirdre lives in upstate New York, and you are most likely to find her on the local bike path along the Mohawk River. Always armed with roller blades and a smile, Deirdre loves anything to do with moving her body and spending time with friends. She's the Lorelai to Claire's Rory.
Jeffrey Young
Father of the Bride
Jeff lives in upstate New York in Claire's hometown, Niskayuna. He loves hiking and biking, as well as working out in the yard. He's quick with a joke or an obscure movie quote, and can still (probably) outrun each of his kids across a soccer field.
Ellen Papanikolaou
Mother of the Groom
Ellen and Paul live in Goffstown, NH - Andrew's childhood home. On any weekend you'll find Ellen working in the backyard and Paul manning the grill. They love to entertain and have the family together for cookouts, lawn games, and outdoor fires!
Brett Angione
Father of the Groom
Brett lives in Auburn, NH and is responsible for the "outdoorsiness" in Andrew's life. Hiking, kayaking, skiing, and pottery are just a few activities on his list of hobbies. Catch him in the winter with the ski club up north, or in the summer hosting his annual neighborhood Ice Cream Social!
Emily Young
Sister
Emily lives outside Washington, D.C. and is a lieutenant in the Coast Guard. She enjoys baking cookies and spending time outdoors, as well as picking out more plants to put in her home. She is also an excellent big sister.
Andrew Young
Brother
Not to be confused with the groom, this Andrew is Claire's brother! Andrew lives in Idaho with his wife Candice, and sons Parker and Dylan. Candace and Andrew have built a beautiful life and home for their family, with a house full of boys and dogs and love.
Eric Angione
Brother
Eric lives in Manchester with his girlfriend Jill, son Bryson, and dog Indy. This group of 4 can almost always be found outside- hiking, biking, and frequenting dog parks and playgrounds! Auntie Claire and Uncle Andrew are so happy to have these guys be a part of our big day!
Nicole and Alex Papanikolaou
Siblings of the Groom
Nikki, 20, and Alex, 18, are Andrew's youngest siblings. They are both extremely talented in the digital arts and computer space, and we are thrilled to see what their future brings. They can whip our booties in video games and ping pong, so they can be sure to expect some rematches in the future.
