Michael & Delaney
Wedding Party
Bridget Patterson
Maid of Honor
The best sister Delaney has ever had. Bridget inspires Delaney to hike more and watch movies that aren't RomComs. Bridget and Mike are responsible for Delaney's having watched the distinctly not-romantic movie, Bone Tomahawk.
Aimee DiPietro
Maid of Honor
Delaney and Aimee met as next door neighbors 25 years ago, and have been best friends ever since. Over the years, shared hobbies have included dismembering Barbies, surviving high school robotic competition drama, and joining each other's family vacations. The last year and a half has included coordinating many wedding-related activities as each other's maids of honor.
Abby Romano
Bridesmaid
Delaney's vet school BFF and roommate for 4 years. Delaney and Abby shared countless margarita pitchers and vats of queso while completing their degrees.
Emmy Soltis
Bridesmaid
Delaney's vet school BFF. Delaney and Emmy bonded over summer research program float trips and rain-soaked Pedaler's Jamborees.
Katie Woods
Bridesmaid
Delaney's vet school BFF. Katie is always there to save Delaney's butt and also make fun of her, from Nash Vegas to Las Vegas.
Kayla Bastolla
Bridesmaid
Kayla was Delaney's coworker on the North Shore. They wrangled angry horses and stubborn sheep during the week, and ate lobster and swam at the beach on the weekends. Kayla was also Rooster's fun Auntie, taking him for swims at the reservoir and rides in the truck.
Sarah Fuller
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Delaney have shared many daring international adventures and near death experiences over their twenty-odd years of friendship. Delaney and Sarah have been friends since their parents kept bringing them to the same birthday parties as kids.
Julianne Parker
Bridesmaid
Delaney's future sister-in-law, and the big sister Delaney never knew she wanted. Julianne keeps her two brothers, one husband, and two sons in line, while still finding time to keep up with trashy reality TV. A true inspiration.
Joseph Anderson II
Best Man
Mike's elder brother, Joe had to deal with an overly hyper Mike for the first eighteen years of his life. He is a proud Papa living in Ohio now, but the two remain very close. Notably, he held a prestigious role in the Trump 45 Administration as Secretary of Interior Design, where he picked out carpets and such for the former president.
John Bacon
Best Man
1st cousin to our great groom, John and Mike grew up down the street from one another. Now a proud Papa living in a remote desert, John spends his days making blocks, or robots, or something. Every Thursday night they play a sprite based video game from 1999 along with groomsman Matt Carvell, where Mike significantly outshines the other two in raw talent.
Matthew Carvell
Groomsman
The proud father of two fantastic daughters and the proud owner of many pairs of khaki shorts, Matt has been great friends with Mike since high school. They share a love for the Total War series of video games, and the two once almost caused an international incident when Matt drove into the dry moat of a WWI era redoubt in Eastern France, a frightened Mike in the passenger seat.
Kerry Deutsch
Groomsman
A true Guru, there's nobody Mike enjoyed sipping whiskey and philosophizing about life with during his Allston days more than Kerry. When Mike bought a new car in 2020, he copied Kerry by buying the exact same model, just one year newer. That's how much Mike trusts Kerry's judgment.
Timothy Esau
Groomsman
Tim is the only person that Mike can talk about books with. Tim is gluten intolerant; he doesn't like gluten, and he won't stand for it (though he maintains that he believes in others' rights to consume gluten at their peril). He has two great children and named both his pets after Final Fantasy X characters, which is an all-time favorite video game of both his and Mikes.
Preston Ainsworth Landers III
Groomsman
Preston once shared an apartment with Mike down the street from a rat infested convenience store in the Boston neighborhood of Allston. The shared adventures the two have had span three continents. Preston now spends his nights and weekends as all mid thirties males aspire to; by manufacturing and shipping soap to aging LA housewives.
Zach Waller
Groomsman
Although they knew each other before either moved to Chicago, Zach and Mike became very close when their lives both led them there. They used to frequent a Russian / Turkish bath house with some of Zach's law school friends, talk about their shared love of Boston, and complain about the difficulties of simple tasks such as finding a Dunkin' Donuts in that foreign land. Zach is the proud father of three amazing children.
Andrew Wight
Groomsman
Andrew has been Mike's friend since high school. Andrew is a gentle giant to all except deer (of which he has defeated well over 50 in hand to hand combat). One time while in college, Mike, Andrew, and their friend Evan sang Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" at 2 AM so loudly that the RA was called on them.
