Emily & Vincent
Wedding Party
Benoit
Best Man
Little brother and baby of the family. Unfortunately I would have to say he was the better hockey player (but only because I pushed him to be better). We went on our first overseas trip together back in 2012 which included: drinking wine out of baby bottles in a small fondue restaurant in Paris, lots of scotch in Scotland, and beers by the Thames. I guess he liked Paris so much he decided to move there for a year and just recently moved back, just in time for the wedding.
Jeff
Man of Honor
As the brother of the bride, Emily couldn't get married without him by her side! Some of my favorite memories with Jeff include: - Being "Chicken Nuggets" dancing around wearing Dad's pajama pants - Celebrating his 19th birthday at the Rainforest Café in Canada - Listening to a Springsteen concert from a rooftop bar while he played in Fenway Park next door - Thanksgiving in Orlando with Ashley & Vincent where we Drank Around the World and made entirely too much food! - Him surprising us in Erie after our engagement & then being a part of him proposing to his Fiancée! My least favorite memories: - The smell of his hockey equipment in the van on road trips
Marie-Elaine
Groomswoman
Older - and she says wiser - sister. Since the day I was born, she pushed me to be my best and taught me all she knows. Despite this, we’ve always been somewhat opposites, as exemplified in our decisions to study ND vs. MD. Although our paths may be different we have had countless adventures together. She’s the go-to person for any advice of food or activities to do in Arizona!
Kristi
Bridesmaid
Kristi was one of the best roommates a girl could ask for! She is always down for an adventure, game night, or day at Disney (or Dinosaur World to celebrate Dino Day!). Kristi is also the manager of THE GREATEST Second Place Runner-Up Softball Team in the Walt Disney World Cast Softball Donald League! Emily & Kristi played together since their intern days at Disney. Go Mad Batters/Mad BB-8ers/Mad Tinkers!!!!
Juli
Groomswoman
We started our medical journey together in the Cayman Islands and followed each other along in rotations even becoming roommates for a time. We’ve had amazing adventures along the way, from going out in downtown Chicago to the Mardi Gras bar crawl (cash cab!!) and the funniest splash mountain picture, it’s been an incredible ride together. Juli was there when our journey started together and we couldn’t imagine this next step without her there.
Yelen
Bridesmaid
The Tweedle-Dee to Em's Tweedle-Dumb, Yelen joined #TeamWellFed at Disney just before Emily. What started as two data geeks who enjoyed lunch at the Pizza Hut Buffet quickly blossomed into a friendship outside of work. The Broadway Buddies have had many great memories, including two trips to find the best bread pudding in New Orleans, dancing at Mango's, forming 6/10ths Harmony with Ramon, and that time we were almost billionaires but couldn't pitch our shark tank idea!
Al
Officiant
Emily first met Al as members of the infamous "Rock Bottom" trivia team in Orlando when both were working for The Mouse. Lucky for us, he is originally from Rhode Island and helped us adjust to our new life in Providence. With the help of his wife Ellen, the Bergers had us eating lobster, steamers, mussles, oysters, and all of the other delicious sea critters like regular New Englanders! We hope that by having him marry us, we will have long and happy marriage like Al & Ellen's!!
