Wedding Party
Erynn
Matron of Honor
Erynn has been Court’s person for 22 years — since they were 8 and 9, feeding squirrels after the first day of school, they've been inseparable ever since. More sister than friend, she is Court’s anchor and definition of home, devoting her life to caring for animals, all while being an incredible mom to Court’s favorite little human. (Pictured here with her husband Marcus.)
Madeline
Maid of Honor
Madeline is Court’s best friend from high school, where Court once proposed to her and they are still waiting for the right moment to run away together. She is an incredible chef, a razor-sharp writer, and a walking archive of internet culture. They've weathered everything life could throw at them, they share a rare, judgment-free, soul-deep friendship.
Nevin
Best Man
Nevin is Brandon’s best man, high school friend, and the accidental architect of this entire wedding. A former all-star lacrosse and hockey player with a gift for bringing people together, he’s always down for an adventure — whether that’s traveling the world or stopping by with a beer and making sure everyone is fed and happy.
Sam
Best Man
Sam is Brandon’s best man and honorary older brother — the one who kept him humble by making fun of him at every possible opportunity. A lovable curmudgeon with the biggest heart, Sam is an excellent cook, curator of immaculate vibes, serial casino winner, and the kind of friend who always shows up (even if he’s roasting you while doing it).
Becca
Bridesmaid
Becca met Court at Elmira College in a pre-calc tutoring session and immediately asked for a hug — friendship was inevitable. A fellow Mainer with fiery red hair, impeccable music taste, and undeniable humor, she turned long college drives and Worcester traffic jams into the best kind of memories.
Michaela
Bridesmaid
Michaela met Court freshman year when their dorm rooms were next door, and they spent the next four years side by side studying math and eventually living together senior year. Now a teacher, fellow education enthusiast, and devoted cat mom to two, she is the kind of friend everyone hopes to have — especially Court. (Pictured here with her husband Nick.)
Liz
Bridesmaid
Liz met Court at Elmira College through the theatre department, bonding over tech, production, the stage, and screaming along to 1989 in the car between rehearsals. She is the second person Court proposed to (and the first to propose back), the reason Court saw her first Broadway show, and the architect of the most elite Disney trip of all time — a bar that will never be topped.
Rishabh
Bridesman
Dr. Rishabh is Court’s graduate school friend and a two-time roommate. He is the embodiment of chaos and joy. A world traveler, plant daddy, and baking extraordinaire, he will absolutely be the last one at the bar and the first one up making breakfast.
Kelsey
Bridesmaid
Kelsey met Court during her grad school years. She is a living reminder to breathe deeply and enjoy the moment. A fellow Pisces queen, yoga lover, excellent cook, fearless adventurer, and elite dancer who can rap Colt 45 word for word. She lives in Boston with her husband Ritwik and their cat Milo. Court wants to be like her when she grows up.
Ritwik
Bridesman
Ritwik is Court’s grad school friend, they once shared a lab and a home. Ritwik's idea of dinner once involved bologna straight from the package and now involves cooking incredible Indian meals from scratch. Effortlessly brilliant, endlessly kind, and always down for adventure, trouble, or a dance floor. He’s the kind of person you can talk to all night about everything that matters or why Hans Zimmer is a genius.
Kaylie
Bridesmaid
Kaylie and Court met in grad school, where shared struggle turned into deep friendship and a mutual love of education — now both college professors. A Disney-loving, Christmas-obsessed craft queen and hostess with the mostest. Sleepovers with Kaylie include bottomless margaritas and all-night conversations, including one legendary Rochester night when they stayed up until morning drinking margs and watching all of Julie and the Phantoms in a single sitting.
Elena
Bridesmaid
Elena is Brandon’s sister and Court’s sister-in-love — small in stature but undeniably fierce. A gifted musician who uses her voice to heal, a devoted cat aunt, and endlessly dependable. The kind of person who can survive a rained out concert and five hours of driving without a complaint. She is always there to support you or help, so long as you don't need her to open a can.
Ryan
Groomsman
Ryan is one of Brandon’s oldest friends, formerly rambunctious and still charming enough to get away with just about anything. A special education teacher who pours everything into his students, an accomplished marathon runner, and a diehard Bills and Yankees fan, Ryan has always felt more like family than a friend.
Robb
Groomsman
Robb is one of Brandon’s oldest friends. They first met in kindergarten and immediately launched into competition over who was older (August beats October, obviously). A brother in every sense, Robb has unmatched kindness, razor-sharp wit, a laugh that multiplies joy, and a sports brain so powerful it should probably be federally regulated.
Zach
Groomsman
Zach has been one of Brandon’s best friends since first grade — outstandingly clever, quick-witted, and always ready with commentary that is somehow both educational and hilarious. Also a brother in every sense, Zach and Brandon’s lifelong rivalry in sports and school pushed them both to be their best, learning from each other along the way.
Nick
Groomsman
Nick is one of Brandon’s longtime friends, a master of vibes, and the kind of person who makes everyone feel instantly at ease. Whether he’s cooking up something new, queuing the perfect music, or calmly settling a debate, Nick’s thoughtfulness, humor, and warmth make his house — and his friendship — feel like home.
Brittney
Groomswoman
Brittney — or “Burt,” if you’ve known Brandon long enough — is one of Brandon’s best college friends and a master of accountability, mischief, and emotional support. The perfect blend of playful, hilarious, and deeply kind, she’s been there for the hardest cries, biggest laughs, and proudest moments. Too bad she's a patriots fan lol.
Matt
Groomsman
(Pictured here with his wife Liz.) Matt is Brandon’s grad school friend, mentor, and honorary elder statesman. A brilliant scientist, military veteran, fitness guru who got Brandon into the best shape of his life, and a walking encyclopedia of advice (from experimental design to fantasy football drafts), Matt balances world domination aspirations with unmatched kindness, famous beer-battered chili, and deep devotion to his family. Too bad he's a patriots fan lol.
Alex
Groomsman
Alex is Brandon’s cousin, close friend, and someone he’s always looked up to — a wildly talented musician, fast learner of basically everything, and the rare blend of creative and analytical brilliance. Effortlessly hilarious and the human embodiment of a Jewish–Italian grandma, Alex will feed you endlessly, curate immaculate vibes, and is currently on track to become the world’s greatest woodworker.
Joshua
Groomsman
(Pictured here with our nephew Jace.) Josh is Courtney’s youngest brother and Brandon’s brother-in-law, and possibly the most universally liked person in the room. A quick-witted jokester, elite mental math whiz, sports-statistics savant, and championship-winning little league coach, Josh brings people together with humor, heart, and an undeniable love for his community. Too bad he's a patriots fan lol.
