Cory & Frank
Wedding Party
Mike McCarthy
Best Man
Mike and Frank go way back to freshman year at BC High, becoming quick friends and eventual sailing team co-captains. After racing many summer regattas together, they were lucky enough to continue on to BC, where Mike’s positive energy would light up any party and his gift of gab would capture the attention of the entire room. He is a very slow eater.
Allyson Quinby
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley. Cory and Ally (aka Quinbo) met in Kindergarten and have been close ever since. They bond over their love of reality TV and passion for all-inclusive week long vacations. She lives in NYC and has an adorable cavapoo puppy named Winston.
Ben Kaufman
Groomsman
Cory's older and favorite brother! Ben is a doctor in NYC and is really responsive whenever Cory calls him panicked with any and all medical questions. More importantly, he is the nicest, happiest, generous, smartest, most caring, and best brother in all the world (and of course, Frank loves Ben too)!
Eleanor Decosimo
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Davidson College! Eleanor is one of the coolest people you'll ever meet. She grew up in Chattanooga, and has a really subtle (but awesome) Tennessee accent. Eleanor now lives in the West Village, and is such an easy-going and fun-loving friend. Plus, she's an unbelievable cook!
Chris Barber
Groomsman
After being lab partners in high school (with unequal distribution of work/responsibilities), Chris and Frank knew they would be friends way past the Bunsen burner days. Probably the second best skier in the group, he is one of the most loyal people Frank has ever met.
Emma Reilly
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley! Emma and Cory met in Kindergarten, and even though Emma went off to Private School, they've always stayed in touch. As a fellow-COVID bride, Emma has helped Cory navigate the ups and down of wedding planning during a pandemic. She is probably going to be the CEO of Facebook some day, and Cory feels so lucky to have this organized, helpful, and beautiful girl by her side!
Jay Mahoney
Groomsman
A former tennis prodigy, decent corn hole player, and marginal sailor, Jay and Frank met at BC High and became good friends. He went to college down south but returned to Boston with a fun-loving energy and a penchant for tucked-in shirts. Frank is lucky to have him in his corner.
Hilary Dolan
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley! Hilary and Cory met in Mrs. Hirsch's 6th grade homeroom. Hilary lives in NYC, but Cory and Hil find time to talk on the phone as much as possible. Hilary works at Tommy Hilfiger. Her fashion sense is A++. She also gets an A++ for being fun, optimistic, and easy going! Hil is the best mom to her daughter Ellie!
Jim Burke
Groomsman
Jimmy is one of Frank’s oldest and best friends - from BC High to BC and beyond. Jimmy has unfortunately had to deal with Frank’s antics for multiple years as roommates. Jim is steadfast, confident and incredibly motivated. He is the hardest worker Frank has ever met, and has always been there for Frank. Jimmy and Frank see the same barber.
Jackie Egan
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley. They met in elementary school! Jackie is one of the hardest workers and best researchers that Cory knows, and she's been the biggest help during the wedding planning process. Jackie knows it all - from photographers to venues. They both live in Boston and love a good long walk around the Charles River.
Mike DeIulis
Groomsman
Mike and Frank lived down the hall from each other at BC, and instantly bonded over Mike's life-sized Dave Matthews Band poster and his memory bank of movie quotes. Competitive and committed by nature, Mike has always impressed Frank with his quality of character. Frank cherishes their friendship. Mike can do 100 pushups under 5 minutes.
Jordan McManama
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley. They met in Kindergarten, and got even closer in High School, dedicating most of their free time to basketball or lacrosse practice... or playing too much Donkey Kong in Cory’s back room. Jordan is one of Cory's most loyal friends and she's always down to party. Our bet is she'll be the first on and last off the dance floor!
Nick Arabia
Groomsman
Nick is Frank's younger, much cooler brother. He is funny yet reserved by nature, and has always been the first to help with anything his family needs. He has a natural gift for picking up a new hobby, whether that be in the form of a golf club or tiller, and excelling at it. Frank is lucky to have him as a little brother and loves him dearly, despite the fact that he graduated from Boston University.
Jackie (Arabia) Sullivan
Bridesmaid
Frank's youngest sister, Jackie is full of life and energy. This outgoing and chatty personality has a love for country music, her dog Kash, and for some reason the San Diego Chargers. She has an enormous heart and has always put family first. Cory and Frank think she's the best!
Pete Witlen
Groomsman
Frank and this math whiz from New Jersey became great friends freshman year at BC, where Frank admired his intelligence, sharp wit and awesome sense of fashion. A steadfast and honest friend, Pete will be one of the first to help if you need it and he'll also be one of the first to call you out on any embellishments. He is without question the most fun Actuary that Frank knows.
Julianna Pillemer
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Wellesley! Jules and Cory met in middle school, and became instant friends (and teammates). Besides being absurdly smart, Jules is one of Cory's most creative friends (and her poem writing cannot be beat). Jules is charismatic, fun loving, and kind. She's always been there to make Cory laugh. She is a professor at NYU, and lives in New York City with her adorable fluffy cat, Lulu.
Phil DeBruin
Groomsman
Phil is such a solid, thoughtful, and generous friend. Frank and Phil met at BC. They share a special bond - both see the world in a similar way and have a similar sense of humor. Although Phil left Boston for NYC, he is one of Frank's closest friends and is often the first one Frank reaches out to when he's looking for advice or wants to share something funny. Phil might be more obsessed with dinosaurs and space than Frank, which is a big statement.
Lilly Nannes
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Davidson College! Lilly and Cory met during orientation and ended up living next to one another freshman year. Lilly lives on Martha's Vineyard with her husband, Cal, and two amazing children, Jack and Zoey. She has all of the local scoop on the island! Fun fact: Lilly's vocabulary is robust and extensive (those are the biggest words I know), and she'll be the first to correct you if you make any grammatical errors.
Will Pearce
Groomsman
The newest edition to Frank's squad; when Will isn't shredding the backcountry skiing, rock climbing, or sending it full speed downhill on a mountain bike, you can find this outdoor enthusiast and all around great guy being an awesome friend to Frank. Will's energy and enthusiasm is infectious and Frank really appreciates his companionship. Will motivates Frank to be a more active, adventurous and better person. Fun fact about Will: he actually didn't go to BC!
Meghan Webb
Bridesmaid
One of Cory's closest friends from Davidson College! Meghan and Cory also met freshman year and lived across the hall from one another. Meghan is Cory's most organized and helpful friend. She has a photographic memory, and never forgets a birthday or an address! Meghan lives in California with her husband, Ben, and her two adorable daughters, Avery and Hannah!
