Tori & Eric
Wedding Party
David (Blake)
Best Man
Blake is Eric's soulmate and Tori's biggest competition for Eric's love. They met while working at Stop & Shop 15 years ago and quickly bonded over music and bad haircuts and they've been best friends ever since. Blake loves board games and bad jokes almost as much as he loves his friends. When he's not playing guitar, he's teaching his niece to make funny faces. Blake is also a great bartender, but don't ask him to make you any drinks during the wedding.
Jen
Maid of Honor
Jen is Tori's cousin but mostly they just tell people they're sisters. Tori and Jen have been best friends for as long as they've been family - forever. Jen can be found appreciating rays of sunlight, petting her plants, and being an excellent listener to her friends, family and clients. She is a whimsical, fun-loving spirit and we love her for all of it -- including her background vocals. Ask her to learn rules to a new game? The answer's no. But ask her to be by your side in a moment? She's there.
Andrew
Best Man
Andrew is Eric's older brother and the reason they got into trouble as kids. He loves watching movies and playing video games (sound familiar?). He lives with his wife Kaitlyn in Salem, where they are legally required to own several cats. Despite the difference in age, Eric is adamant that his beard grew first, but the hair is a different story. We love sibling rivalry and are so excited to have Andrew be part of our day.
Kori
Bridesmaid
Kori and Tori became friends in high school because their names rhyme. Just kidding. Some of Tori's favorite memories include hanging out with Kori at the Adams' household and laughing at Bad Luck Brian memes. They still laugh at stupid things. For all her humor, Kori is equal parts thoughtful and introspective. Kori loves academia, car ride jams, and being with her people. We love being with her too.
Long
Groomsman
Long is Eric's former roommate and one of his closest friends. They met in high school but they really became friends during a New Year's Eve party in 2012. Long shares Eric's love for sports and video games and is the group's fantasy football commissioner. We always joke that Long is the one we'd call if one of the guys got arrested and we're hoping he won't receive any phone calls on our wedding night.
Adi
Bridesmaid
Tori and Adi met at Tori's first job out of school. Adi is always down for a night out or a night in (Tori's favorite kind) and with her, both are equally fun. Our pup Frasier loves hanging out with Adi, too. Out of our friends, he only listens to her. We get it - we respect the hell out of her too. Also, if you teach her a board game, be prepared to lose to her despite her JUST learning. It's her party trick. That and making the best Aperol Spritz around.
Dave
Groomsman
Dave is Eric's oldest friend of the bunch. They met in middle school and the rest is (ancient) history. He's got an infectious laugh, an extensive shoe collection, and an adorable dog named Chewbacca. If you couldn't tell, he loves Star Wars. He also loves being the life of the party and, like Eddy, he is a fabulous dancer (especially at Bachata). You will definitely find him dancing to Bad Bunny with Tori at the wedding.
Ellie
Bridesmaid
Ellie and Tori met during one of their Northeastern co-ops. Tori was intimidated by Ellie's intelligence and truthfully still is a bit. She literally taught herself Spanish and is now fluent. She loves the environment, salsa dancing and DIY projects. Sometimes those projects include hauling abandoned, side-of-the-road furniture home. She finds potential in everything and the world is better with her in it. We love that about her.
Andrew (Larry)
Groomsman
Much like Blake, Andrew goes by many names. Eric met Andrew in high school where they'd spend every summer playing baseball and football together. If Long is the person you call to get you out of jail, Andrew is the reason you're there. He loves a good whiskey, poker game, and night out with his boys. Despite his party persona, he's also down to just hang out and talk. Everyone needs a hype man and an excellent friend. That's Andrew.
Meg
Bridesmaid
Tori and Meg met at their first job out of college. Meg can, and will, do anything she puts her mind to. Case in point, she's run 2 (!) Boston marathons and she'll probably do it again. Tori admires her stamina, truthfully. She's the queen of dartys (day parties), at-home salon-quality manicures, and always almost being late but arriving just on time. Feeling down? Call Meg. She is the ultimate hype girl and we can't wait to see her on the dance floor.
Eddy
Groomsman
Eddy is the kindest human you'll ever meet and one of Eric's best friends. He and Eric go back a million years to high school, where they grew close in study period and playing sports after school. You've never met someone who listens to more Fantasy Football podcasts and yet still loses in their league every year. Eddy is an excellent dog dad to Corey & Lily and husband to his wife, Marissa. He's also an incredible dancer and we can't wait to see him tear it up at the wedding.
Justin
Officiant
Justin is Jen's partner and a close friend of Eric & Tori. He's a lawyer and has a plethora of random fact knowledge stored in his smart lawyer brain. Justin loves the Red Sox, reading books recommended to him by friends, and watching Premier League soccer games (go, Spurs!). He has a grounding presence to those who surround him and we can't think of a better person to orchestrate our ceremony.
Peter & Mary
Mom & Dad of the Groom
Mary & Peter are high school sweethearts and you can see that in how they look at each other. They've been by each other's side for over 40 years and are a great example of everlasting love. Two of Eric's best qualities - his sense of humor and his loyalty to his loved ones - comes from Peter and Mary. We love them so much and are so happy to have them by our side on our day and beyond.
Mark & Sheila
Mom & Dad of the Bride
What to say about Mark and Sheila? Tori catches herself having her mom's mannerisms (read: her entire personality) and her dad's goofy sense of humor. They are the most welcoming hosts and best party-throwers. I mean, have you ever been to an Adams' house party?! We know that this wedding will be no exception. We're so lucky to have parents/in-laws like these.
Frasier
Dog
Frasier is always the star of the show which is why he won't be attending Eric & Tori's wedding. Frasier's favorite things include meeting kind strangers, playing fetch, cuddling his parents, and howling into his toy of choice. He's got the most expressive face and the most dramatic yawns. We love him and we'll miss him on our special day.
