Wedding Party

Carly Tavares

Maid of Honor

We met in college at our first year seminar. Emma and I had to go on a camping trip as part of a requirement for the class. Needless to say we shared a tent and have been best friends ever since!

Maid of Honor

Emma is my big sister; however, seeing that I tower over her by four inches, I would rather describe her as the small but mighty best sister ever. I never thought that Emma would find someone to balance her crazy, until she introduced me to Zack. After getting to know Zack, I realized that he was Emmas person and that he and Emma would spend the rest of their lives together. I am relieved that Emma is now going to be Zack's problem. With that said I still fully expect her to attend our sister bonding days to Build-a-Bear and the Cheesecake Factory, no exceptions!

Emma McGovern

Bridesmaid

I met Emma in high school. We were friends immediately, it’s an Emma thing. We’ve been around the world together and would still rather sit and knit together. I’m working in Colorado now hoping to be an animator, but we still make time to see each other whenever we can!

Lexi Fielding

Bridesmaid

I met Emma during our middle school years in our church’s youth group. Out of the blue, she appeared one day and quickly fell into our routine of fun and mischief. While our friendship began in middle school, we were lucky enough to stay together in our high school years when we attended Westover together. We found our girl gang in our loungemates and continued making wonderful memories both in and out of school. Though Emma and I went to different colleges , we always made time to see each other and our friends over break. I look forward to the many more years of friendship and memories to come!

Autumn Collette

Bridesmaid

I am Autumn Collette, and I am one of the groom’s sisters. So, in light of that, I met Emma through my brother and have known her for all the years they were dating. I kind of consider her as a sister. Emma has always been in our home, has joined us on most of our vacations and has come to all our family get togethers. One time it was pouring rain in Epcot, and she and I sprinted to the ball screaming and yelling and getting all wet. All the times we share tea in my kitchen together and all the beautiful hand made birthday cards she always makes me and all the puzzles we do together are some of my best memories. I just could never see her out of my life. And now I won’t have to.

Hailie Collette

Bridesmaid

I’m Hailie, one of the grooms sisters, the youngest one. Emma is an amazing girl. Zack is very lucky to find someone who can deal with his crazy self. I remember when we went to Disney and we took Emma with us, as well as Michael and Jimmy. One night I was laying in bed watching tv, and all I could hear from the other room was yelling. Emma, Zack, Autumn, Jimmy and Michael were playing Monopoly Deal, and Emma started swearing at everyone. It was really funny.

Robert McCarthy

Best Man

I cant say I remember meeting Zack, nor having a moment where our friendship clicked. From kindergarten till today, the memories we have shared just happened naturally. The reasoning for this could be described in two words: impulsive and dopey. On a crisp December day you could find us in the woods throwing boulders at each other on a barely frozen pond. During the summer, we may be found holding a boxing matches on the trampoline out back. There was usually physical damage to our bodies, but we could always finish the day off with many laughs. May the two words that bonded us be consistent through the rest of our friendship and lead to more memories.

Joseph Freeland

Best Man

While I am not sure how Zack and I first met, I do know we were friends through middle school, high school and college. I would describe our friendship as simple, as we never needed anything elaborate to have a good time. If I had to guess, I'd say we'll be friends for life.

Best Man

Griffin Ylagan

Best Man

Zack and I met in 6th grade, a point in time where I was under 5 feet, and he had hair down to his shoulders. And over the past decade or so, I think it’s fair to say we’ve both changed a lot (hopefully for the better). But even with this change, our friendship has and will stay the same, where just hanging out shooting the breeze is more than enough.

Corky Beaulieu

Mother of the Bride

Emma, our creative, determined, rule-following, child-loving, old soul, lives her life with her whole heart. She may be petite, but she is mighty, and all that know her well fear her "teacher's voice." I met Zack shortly after he and Emma returned from South Dakota, and I have grown to learn that he is a man of honor and integrity, and he is deeply committed to family and friends. He approaches life with passion and leads with his whole heart. We cannot be more pleased that Emma and Zack have chosen to be partners as they walk through life.

Ernie Beaulieu

Father of the Bride

I offered Zack his classic dream car if he eloped with Emma. He was on-board until Emma found out; now we are having a wedding. Zack is wise, and has learned a valuable lesson early on: "Happy wife, happy life."

Dawn Collette

Mother of the Groom

You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate and what’s written in the stars – Anais Nin I met Emma before Zack met her. Zack and I were planning to go to the Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. I met Emma at the orientation meeting for this trip, I attended but Zack did not (he was probably jumping off a bridge with his friends). Once the journey to the reservation began, it did not take long to know that these two were destined to be together. During our travels, I caught Emma staring at Zack sleeping; she had a beautiful peaceful smile on her face. Later I saw Zack watching Emma play with the children on the reservation; he too had a smile on his face, a smile of love and adoration. Love has found them

Matt Collette

Father of the Groom

Zachary, nothing makes a parent happier than to see their children grow and develop into happy and successful adults. Your mom and I are blessed to have had it happen twice already. Zack, you have grown to be a kind and compassionate man with integrity; a true gentleman in every sense of the word and I couldn’t be more proud. Emma, you have been part of our family since you and Zack met on your South Dakota trip. How appropriate for you and Zack to have met while helping others. Two kind souls converging to add positivity to the world and finding each other in the process. Emma you have become a role model for my two daughters as well as for the students you teach and inspire. You both lead by your example. I look forward to watching you both continue to grow and prosper as a family.
