Drew & Laura
Wedding Party
Mary Goldman
Maid of Honor
My older sister, and one of my closest friends. Even though we are ten years apart, we have always had a very special relationship. Mary taught me a lot of important things when I was young, like how to paint my nails and do my hair, but now as an adult, Mary is showing me how to be a loving wife and a wonderful mother.
Michelle Nichols
Maid of Honor
When we met in 2015, I instantly knew I loved this girl! Michelle and I live close to each other in Newport Beach, which is perfect because we enjoy getting together for weekly girls dinners and pool days in the summer. Sometimes Michelle and I have gotten mistaken for sisters, which I know is a huge compliment!
George D'Ambrosio
Best Man
George and Drew met freshman year at Fairfield University when they quickly bonded over their love of golf and maybe a few Bud Lights. Although George lives in NYC they remain close and every time they see each other they always try to sneak in at least 18 holes.
Michael Bresnahan
Groomsman
Drew and Mike met when they were both young kids running around the streets of Osterville, MA. They spent their days split between sailing and the golf course. Mike currently lives in Boston, MA and whenever they are on the same coast they always try to find some quality time together. Although they do not get the chance to see each other often they both know that the other person will always pick up the phone.
Jamie Speakman
Bridesmaid
My cousin, who I have been best friends with since diapers! We grew up next door to each other, and later we were home schooled together by mom, which are some of our favorite memories together. You will no doubt find Jamie and I laughing about inside jokes and being silly together.
Drew Shannon
Groomsman
One of the first people Drew met in California in 2011 was the "Other Drew" or "Junior". Although Drew Shannon has since moved to Connecticut and currently lives in San Francisco, they have remained the closest of friends. Rarely a day goes by when they do not check in with each other to compare the standings of their favorite sports teams the St. Louis Blues (Juniors Team) and the Anaheim Ducks (Drew's Team)
Mary Huse
Bridesmaid
When I was 9, my brother, Joe, was going to his friends house. I was allowed to tag along and little did I know I was going to meet a life long friend! Some of my most special memories growing up have been days spent together laughing and being creative. We've enjoyed countless sleepovers and family camping trips throughout the years. I am so blessed that not only Mary and I are close friends, but also our families!
Mike Misera
Groomsman
Drew and Mike first met in the summer of 2011 in Orange County when Drew didn't know anyone else. Mike is another California transplant, originally from Baltimore, MD, and they hit it off over their love of sports and movies. The two can often be found on the golf course or the movie theater at Fashion Island in Newport Beach.
Madison Doherty
Bridesmaid
We met when we were 12 years old at church, and have had a close friendship ever since. We bonded over pizza, beach days, and arts and crafts. Our friendship will always be strong even though Madison now lives in England with her husband, Matt. Drew and I are excited to have a perfect reason to plan a UK trip!
Tim Holden
Groomsman
Drews older brother Tim currently lives in Greenwich, CT with his wife Jamie and their son Connor. Drew always looked up to Tim who excelled in both Golf and Hockey. Their competitive nature led to many afternoons playing Hockey on the driveway, where Drew always had to be the goalie!
Lindsay Weaver
Bridesmaid
Lindsay and I met years ago through Madison, and became very close! Lindsay was my first roommate when I moved out of my parents house. She proved to be a great roommate, and an even better friend. We've enjoyed countless fun girls nights and always have the best time together.
Phil Holden
Groomsman
The oldest of Drew's twin brothers is Phil, who currently lives in Boston, MA with his wife Arielle and their baby boy Luke. Another excellent athlete, their childhood revolved around playing as many sports as possible. Some of Drew's fondest memories growing up was when Phil finally got his license and the three Holden boys could hop in the car and drive themselves to the golf course. With Phil being five years older, it always pushed Drew to try and be better at sports so he could just keep up!
Ella Goldman
Flower Girl
Laura's niece Ella will be the most perfect flower girl! At 3 years old, Ella is a pure joy and the sweetest little girl you will ever meet. Ella is Mary and Erics' daughter, and she will no doubt steal the show when it comes time to dance. Her Auntie Yaya and Uncle Dew love her very much and are honored to have the little princess as their flower girl.
Jack and Brendan Cotter
Ring Bearer
Jack and Brendan are Drew's nephews who live in Walpole, MA. The children of Drew's sister Meg, Brendan, 7 and Jack, 5. They are both very excited to be at this wedding, especially given the close proximity to DisneyLand! Although their father Dan is a graduate of Catholic Memorial (Drew's HS rival), he hopes they will one day go to his High School, Xaverian Brothers!
