Lauren & Andrew
Wedding Party
Megan Laurencelle
Matron of Honor
My best friend who became my sister for life. Megan and I met in college 5 years ago in the same major but we are pretty sure we've known each other our whole lives. Fun fact: we should have met 12 years ago at church camp but she was a little distracted by the boy she would one day marry, I got to be her maid of honor so I let it slide. Megan knows me better than I know myself and could probably have planned this wedding by herself. She has been a rock of a best friend through it all and always points me back to my walk with Christ. I could not be more thankful to have this girl by my side on this amazing day, mostly because she knows how to contain my inner bridezilla but also because she brings me such love and joy.
Eric LaMarche
Best Man
My brother and best man, and also the guy who got into all the trouble with our parents so I didn't have to (or so they think!). It took till I was entering middle school and he was starting college for both of us to acknowledge and accept the "bro code", but we got it down to a science now. He's covered by behind and I've covered his and there's nothing better I could ask for from a big brother. And yes, he most definitely did knock out my second front tooth on the same day that I lost the other - but that's what brothers are for!
Suzy Williams
Maid of Honor
She is beauty, she is grace, she was a complete stranger who had moved into my room one day junior year of college with no warning at all. I forced her into an awkward hug and we've been best of friends ever since. She thinks I'm a complete weirdo but loves me anyways (she's not completely wrong). I drag her on adventures and although she may live a plane ride away I know she'll always be by my side for all of life's big moments and I can't wait to share this one with her as well. Suzy is an artist in all that she does so the details you see at the wedding is all thanks to her!
Dan Baldwin
Groomsman
Suhhhhhhh dude! Crazy how we started off in 1st grade doing Where's Waldo puzzles, and now we're both across the country tossin' die on the beach (for those who don't know, Beer Die is a game). Many refuse to accept this widely known fact, but we always had the better baseball team because nobody could hit a curve ball at 13 years old. Dan was and still is always one to lighten the mood when any of the boys are feeling down. Cheers to more Fiestas and to nearly 20 years of baller friendship.
Emily Ciccarello
Bridesmaid
Emily is as sweet as the amount of sugar I put in my coffee...which is a lot. But this caffeine loving girl is my most patient and level-headed friend. Emily and I met my freshman year of college and completes the trio of myself and Megan. She keeps me grounded and reminds me to slow down and enjoy life's many moments which on this special day is exactly what I need to do as I usually get so caught up in the rush. Emily has an unmatched wit that keeps me laughing and a kind heart that makes me so grateful that she's one of my very best friends.
Brendan Allard
Groomsman
To be honest, I don't even really know when we became friends, it just kinda happened. What I can tell you though is we had the best inside jokes in the whole school and drew the funniest doodles in all the physics books. We were definitely the most handy when it came to designing and building our science projects and we absolutely should've won at least 1 of them. Jokes aside, Brendan and I always kept the rest of the boys balanced, and kept each other level headed through those engineering courses that probably shaved off at least 7 years of good hair.
Julia Webster
Bridesmaid
Jules and I met our freshman year of college as a random match, well this random match turned out to be the perfect match. College wouldn't have been the same without her and neither would life. Jules is the friend who is always down for a spontaneous adventure and always keeps me on my toes. Jules makes long-distance friendship a breeze. We have countless memories over the years and I couldn't be more excited for her to be by my side during one of the most special memories to come!
Brendan Kelly
Groomsman
The Irish Classic. Brendan and I go all the way back to pre-preschool. There was never Brendan without Joe, and never Joe without Brendan. Oh and I should mention that he was the only one in the neighborhood to not just have a pool, but to have a walled in wiffle ball field in his back yard - complete with a natural, tree-sized replica of the Green Monster at Fenway Park. Whether we were ding dong ditching the Harts or riding bikes to Pucks, there was never a dull moment and I'm grateful to have had Brendan as a friend for nearly my whole life.
Gabriella Picariello
Bridesmaid
If there was ever a friend who together you felt more like the sisters who steal clothes from one another but end the day laughing and watching movies, it would be Gabs. She was my very first friend in college and has never left my side. We would study in really strange ways that only made sense to us and would never miss out on our weekly movie and face-mask nights. She is strong, reliable, loving, and pushes me to be my best everyday. I could not think of a more selfless person and am so proud to call her one of my best friends. I know that I can count on her everyday and having her stand by me on this special day is no different.
Joe Afflito
Groomsman
Joe is the day 1 of all the day 1's, like, the actual day 1. Like Brendan, Joe and I go back before pre-school, blowing bubbles in mud puddles, getting kicked out of acrobats class for being too goofy, and bullying the AI in Backyard Baseball, Soccer, and Football. I basically lived at Joe's house growing up (he conveniently lived a few houses down from Brendan Kelly) and we probably became at least 10% noodle with the amount of mac n' cheese we ate, but that's perfectly okay with me. Joe and I would literally run around the neighborhood until the lights turned on and I would have to ride my bike back home every day in summer. I certainly wouldn't be where I am today without growing up having Joe as one of my best buds.
Abigail Boeshans
Bridesmaid
Abigail and I met my Junior year at Gordon thanks to Suzy. Fast forward a year later Abigail and I got to live together with Gabs at the beach when I graduated. Covid made our house (that was always falling apart somehow) a little family sharing meals, obsessing over plants, fighting over who would take out the dead mouse, discovering new species of bugs and screaming while we killed them by taping objects over them (sometimes on the ceiling), and telling stories of the nightmare nannying jobs we were all in. I wouldn't have changed a thing. Abigail has brought so much joy into my life in two short years that I can't imagine this day without her standing up there with me.
Mike Brophy
Groomsman
Mike (or more commonly known by his last name, Brohpy) is the best college roommate I ever had. He originally met outside of our ENGIN 112 course freshman year of college as one of us overheard the other organizing plans to tackle some homework later that night. So we did it, and then bonded over Super Smash Bros and many other things we had in common. We didn't live together until Junior year, but boy was it the right move. Brophy was always there to help me through whatever I needed (including school work because the guy is just one of those people who always knows everything). We never had a dull moment long boarding through campus or chowing down at the dining halls.
Jilly Ingersoll
Bridesmaid
An honorary junior bridesmaid for a girl who holds a special place in my heart and is my very best shopping buddy for all things girly. She has taught me all she knows about princesses soI feel quite prepared for my wedding day thanks to her.
Zach Archambault
Groomsman
Icky Vicky the bus driver couldn't be with us today, but she drove the route that Zach and I shared starting in middle school. Oh and I can promise you that we were definitely doing homework and not playing slam ball or Xbox after school every day. Likewise, he had the cool house because it was on a pond so either knee boarding and ice hockey were always in season, and Satlers candy store was just a short bike ride away. To this day, I'm thankful that Zach (and his family) treated me as one of their own.
Evangeline Isabella
Flower Girl
Another very special girl who is bubbly and sweet. It makes my heart smile that she always wants to sit next to me and will probably ask to do so at my wedding and I can't wait.
Seraphina Isabella
Flower Girl
Sera is full of giggles and cuddles and there is no question as to why her and Evie make the perfect flower girl duo. Bright smiles and just general adorableness will have everyone smiling as she walks down before me.
Benjamin Ingersoll
Ring Bearer
This little man is just about the coolest one I know. I trust him more than anyone to take good care of the rings as his number one mission. Benjamin is always a gentleman and has the greatest laugh around. Honored to have him right up there with us.
