Wedding Party
Kati Brigham
Maid of Honor
Kati & Sarah have been biffles since pollen caused sniffles. If you have a bottle of wine and a inappropriate joke, Kati is your lady. You wanna dance to Britney Spears in a basement? Call Kati. You wanna watch trashy reality TV? Head to the Brigham household and bring wine. You wanna risk it all on red? Kati will place that bet. Overall, you wanna have the time of your life, you call Kati and her husband Steve.
Finn Briggs
Best Man
Michael & Finn grew up on the Vineyard and have been friends since becoming hockey teammates back in mites. Over the past 25 years they've gone to hell and back and have the stories to prove it. But we'll save those for Finn's Best Man Speech. Finn is happily married to his beautiful wife Abbey and they are expecting a baby girl this October!
Gina Lavanchy
Bridesmaid
Gina and Sarah grew up in the same neighborhood on the mean streets of Scituate. Not only did Gina transfer to BSU to be with Sarah, she even changed her major so her and Sarah would be in the same classes. After graduating together they both decided to say to hell with their degrees and went back to school to work in the medical field. So it’s only fitting that Gina got engaged 2 weeks after Sarah did! Two brides in one year. I just can’t with these two
Alex Paulhus
Groomsman
Michael & Alex were college roommates for 2 years. They met move-in day freshman year at Saint Michael's and have been raging ever since. After college you could find them bellied up to a bar in Southie or stuck way too deep off trail in the woods of Sugarbush. Alex and his lovely girlfriend Meghan helped Gio pull off the "engagement on ice"
Taryn Postlewaite
Bridesmaid
Taryn and Sarah have been friends way before Rachel moved in with Monica. From listening to Jock Jams and jumping on a trampoline to picking each other up out of the bushes these two have been through a lot. Now watch out for Taryn on the dance floor, she is known to do "the worm" at any given moment. Whether it be a middle school gym floor or a dingy Atlantic City carpet, she just loves to show off. Taryn and her husband David recently moved from San Francisco to Virginia with their baby girl, Evie.
Brandon Willet
Groomsman
Brandon & Gio, became friends freshman year of high school playing hockey and casually winning the D2 MA State Championship at the Boston Garden in 2002. Later they and a few others created the Bud Light Centre (Willett's Basement). If you see them together these days they're golfing or drinking, but most likely both. Brandon currently lives on Bermuda, with his babe Ali.
Juliana O’Brien
Bridesmaid
It may say Juliana, but everyone knows it's "Juju". Juju and Sarah have been tight like trees since tube socks were a thing. Growing up next door to each other it's safe to say that Juju is Sarah's oldest friend. They've spent many winter weekends shredding the ski trails of Vermont. However, it is the Apres ski where these two make real headway. Juju is married to Conor and together they have two babies Boden and Parky, King of JP
Jeff Amato
Groomsman
Gio & Jeff go as far back as freshman year at Saint Mike's. Together they steered the JV hockey team to many glorious victories and after parties over 4 seasons. After college they lived together in Tahoe for a winter, the Vineyard for a few summers and even back packed South East Asia together, just a couple Italian heart throbs. Jeff is now married to his lovely wife Callie and they have a beautiful baby girl named Stella.
Jenni Dehn
Bridesmaid
If you see Jenni, be sure to let her know how great of a job she did capturing the essence of beauty, that is the save the date on your refrigerator. Jenni, a Scituate native, her and Sarah teamed up long before K-Ci and JoJo. Jenni and her boyfriend Rob live locally in Scituate and can be found putting out fires, photographing love birds or making music in their garage.
Zach Smith
Groomsman
The Mini Wig. Another Saint Mike's legend that has been friends with Gio since day 1. They were also college roommates Junior and Senior year and Zach is forever in Nancy's good graces for editing each and every term paper Gio attempted to write. Zach spent a summer on the vineyard after college and worked at Giordano’s frying clams. He and Gio drove cross-country to return Zach to his rightful place in Seattle, WA where he practices law today.
Carrie Frasca
Bridesmaid
Besides the fact that Carrie married Sarah's big brother and birthed Sarah's niece and nephew, she and Sarah go back aways. How different could things have been if they didn't get along as high school soccer teammates? We'll never know.
Jonathan Frasca
Groomsman
Disclaimer: Jon is Sarah's Big brother. What else can be said, other than that the first time Jon met Michael they took shots of Absente and well ... alcohol. They have calmed down since then and now just try to stick to beers when getting together. Jon is married to Carrie and together they have two cuties, Izzy and Lil' Pete.
Leanne Bartkowski
Bridesmaid
Disclaimer: Leanne is Michael's sister. Leanne is brave, for she is the only bridesmaid not from Scituate and for those of you who don't know, it's a challenging tribe to join. Leanne likes to drink and gossip, so she'll fit in fine. Leanne has been blessed with her husband Jeff.
Alex Rossi
Groomsman
Alex and Gio logged countless hours consuming beers in Willett's basement in High School. As teammates they crushed Nantucket every year and without enough recognition from the Vineyard Lacrosse Alumni community, they set some pretty sexy stat lines that are probably still records to this day. When living together in the North End of Boston they heroically carried the drunker of the two out of bars and harms way. Today Alex is happily married to his smokeshow wife Cassie.
Jordan Hoehn
Groomsman
Gio & Jordan have been buds since their elementary years together on the ice. They did however have a brief fall out in the fifth grade when Michael pantsed Jordan on a boat ride home from an off island hockey game. Fortunately, through commitment and dedication they were able to rekindle their friendship, charge forward and together they captained their high school hockey team. After college they became roommates in the North End of Boston, with Finn, until he up and left.
Isabella
Flower Girl
Izzy is Sarah’s niece and Michael is her most favorite person in the world! If she could have it her way she would be marrying Michael instead of aunty. She’s not as tall as the rest of the gang but she rap to the beat just the same.
Peter
Ring Bearer
Pete is Sarah’s nephew and Izzy’s not so little brother. Pete is named after his grandfather, hopefully there aren’t any long term effects. Pete’s life motto: You can catch flies with honey, but you catch more honeys by being fly.
Ozzie
Best Dog
Ozzie is the other love of Sarah’s life and safe to say the worlds most spoiled dog. Ozzie loves to take naps on Michael’s legs and bark at you when you’re trying to eat dinner. His favorite food is pizza so no one is more excited about this wedding than him!
