Ellie & Denis
Wedding Party
Jacob Bernier
Man of Honor
We were born as brother and sister - but grew to become best friends. I have followed Jake around my entire life, and he has been forced to let me. But after many persistent years our mom no longer had to force him to let me hang around and a beautiful friendship was born. Jake and I love fashion, drag queens, reality TV, and laughing together in awkward situations. We quickly learned that Denis was the perfect addition. He was able to pick up all the movie quotes Ellie missed, and Jake gave Denis an outlet to talk about video games and the Marvel universe.
David Dempsey
Best Man
David is NOT the groom although he could be easily mistaken for him. Denis was blessed to be born with a partner in crime from day one. They have an unbreakable bond and neither of them could imagine life without the other. Whether looking for a laugh, a good movie recommendation, or just someone to talk too they were each other’s first 'person'.
Trisha Hurley
Matron of Honor
Trisha is best friends with Jake and quickly became a second sister to Ellie. She didn't know what she was taking on at the time but quickly became Ellie's go to person for advice and has been guiding her through life since middle school. Ellie went as far as joining color guard just to spend more time with her and Jake during marching band practice.
Billy Dempsey
Groomsman
Billy is the oldest and WISEST brother. His sarcasm quickly helped mold the rest of the boys personalities and humor. He is everyone’s first phone call when something is broken and will always give sound and logical advice when needed.
Amy Dempsey
Bridesmaid
Amy is the only sister to the groom (I know round of applause she has survived four brothers)! She kept the boys in line but has always been there to listen. She quickly welcomed Ellie with open arms (I mean again she's been dealing with just boys for a very long time). She continues to be a trusted confidant to both Ellie and Denis.
Barry Dempsey
Groomsman
Barry is the baby of the family even though no-one would guess that. His kindness is one that Denis has always admired, and his quick wit always creates a fun conversation. Barry is the kind of brother that always shows up and normally he shows up with delicious food - you really can't beat that.
Jess Gow
Bridesmaid
Jess is quite literally the nicest person in the world, and has blessed Ellie's entire family by putting up with her oldest brother Zak all of these years (jk Zak don't worry you're great too). Ellie will be quick to tell everyone that she's the reason Zak and Jess got together, and she couldn't be more proud of it because they make such a lovely couple. Ellie can not wait to officially welcome Jess into the family, and is constantly reminding Zak of that...so if you see Zak on the dance floor tell him to put a ring on it.
Zak Bernier
Groomsman
The oldest of five Ellie's brother Zak lead the way for all the kids. Zak and Ellie love to come together using wit and sarcastic comments to make all family events a little more interesting for their mom. In typical big brother fashion, he searched for something to pick on Denis for, but to his surprise he couldn't find a thing - he just really liked him.
Grayce Bernier
Bridesmaid
Grayce is the sister to the bride and Ellie has always loved copying her. This road did lead to the tragic eye brow incident of 2009, but luckily we did recover. Grayce also blessed Ellie with one of her biggest joys in life, four beautiful babies that made her an aunt!
Ethan Tallman
Groomsman
The baby of five Ellie's little brother Ethan has allowed her to talk for him his entire life. This comes to no shock because as you've come to learn it can be hard to get a word in with Ellie. Ethan may be the baby of the family, but he also has the biggest heart. He will definitely be the most well behaved of the brides siblings.
Rachael Medeiros
Bridesmaid
When Ellie met Rachael they instantly clicked. They perfectly balance each other out and are there for each other on fun nights out and for the long needed phone calls. Their love for adventure finds them on mountain tops and zipping through forests together and everything in between. When they're not on an adventure they're probably just showing each other tik toks and dog videos.
Carl Decker
Groomsman
Carl is Ellie's future brother in-law. He was also Ellie and Denis's first landlord! That year living together quickly created a bond between the four of them that would never be broken. Now they meet up at least once a week for dinner, tv shows and puppy dates. Denis and Carl quickly came together when they realized that when Jake and Ellie are together it can be difficult to poke into their little world they've created for themselves.
Allyssa Medeiros
Bridesmaid
Allyssa and Ellie met in girl scouts. Most girls would talk about braiding hair and playing tag, but Ellie and Allyssa consistently found themselves pretending to be "old ladies" and moving around the room in walkers. It's safe to say that they continued to be their weirdest selves and best friends with each other ever since. Through all the awkward phases of life they were able to create an unbreakable support system that will now carry them through all the new chapters in life (were looking at you Devin).
Teddy Schrand
Groomsman
Teddy and Denis have been friends since 4th grade and are now pillars in each other’s support systems. Teddy quickly took on the role of being the fun - but sensible friend of the group. Denis and Teddy worked Keltic and Skipper shifts together which is when Teddy became Denis's wing man when a quick-witted blonde started coming around. Teddy quickly realized that Denis may have his hands full - but has been there supporting him and trying to help him get a word in ever since.
Tori O'dea
Bridesmaid
Tori and Ellie were two parts to an unstoppable trio with their friend Casey Allen. They we're very rarely seen without each other and quickly made amazing memories. Tori is also the person who brought Denis and Ellie together (shout out to the Skipper). We are beyond grateful for Tori's friendships and the memories we continue to make now that we've added a few more additions to our trio.
Dan Demartin
Groomsman
Dan and Denis became best friends in 9th grade and really haven't left each other’s side ever since. Bringing out the more outdoorsy side of Denis they always find themselves on entertaining adventures when they are together - even if those adventures started on the streets of Yarmouth with their bikes leading the way.
Ally Mann
Bridesmaid
Ally and Ellie were random roommates that went totally RIGHT. Half of Bridgewater State campus probably can't tell them apart because they were just part of an Ellie and Ally duo. They are polar opposites who completely balance each other out. Ally is very easily one of the best things Ellie gained from college (the degree was pretty cool too).
Victor Andrade
Groomsman
Denis and Victor met in middle school and were almost always found with David, Mason, Dan and Sam. You could find the entire crew at the 6a playground playing football or basketball any day of the week. The only thing better than his athletic skills is how quick he can come up with a comeback. If you're looking for the life of the party look his way.
Maria DeOliveira
Bridesmaid
Ellie and Maria became 'sister wives' overnight. Maria was looking for someone to help her fold baby clothes and Ellie despite rarely knowing her said that she had no plans the next day. After folding a ridiculous number of onesies (yes Maria has a shopping problem) a beautiful friendship was born. They've been a huge part of each other’s support systems ever since.
Sam Harrison
Groomsman
Denis and Sam met in 9th grade and bonded over wiffle ball, sports, and video games. Over a decade later and nothing has changed - besides the fact that Sam is now an unstoppable force in Super Smash Bros.
Tori Arute
Bridesmaid
When Tori and Ellie walk into a room together YOU KNOW. This loud outgoing duo has an unmatched energy that in their opinion is a great time to be around. After an amazing girl trip it didn't take long for Tori and Ellie to become best friends. I mean after all Ellie had already made Tori get over one of her biggest fears...You will find these two on the dance floor ALL night long, and if you can't see them you'll hear them.
Mason Gregoire
Groomsman
Mason was David's best friend and Denis has been trying his best to steal him over the years. In a group full of good guys all of them are quick to say that he is the nicest. The only person quite possibly nicer than Mason is his lovely mom, Linda. Denis has always been comfortable with Mason whether they're having mud fights or playing video games they always have a good time together. So if you're looking for a compliment or a smile find Mason on the dance floor.
