Maid of Honor
Danielle's best friend from medical school - contrary to popular belief, we never lived together, but we were otherwise inseparable. If we weren't running, we were either working (even our schedules were basically the same) or drinking wine. Despite the fact that she now lives in Tennessee, things haven't changed - thank goodness for FaceTime!
Best Woman
Kathleen is the younger sister of the groom. She is Kevin's best friend, and a fellow hater. Like Kevin she is Sassy; unlike Kevin, she is classy. We are very happy to have her assume the role of Best Woman. As a commanding presence, she will keep the other Groomsmen in line. Kevin had the good fortune to be Kathleen's man of Honor, the day she married Thomas Mahoney.
Bridesmaid
Danielle's best friend from childhood - although things got off to a rough start when Danielle missed the first two days of kindergarten, Christie eventually warmed to her and by second grade (when their desks were FINALLY next to each other) they were BFFs. Through thick and thin, ski trips and study abroad visits, Christie has been a constant!
Groomsman
Tom is Kevin's friend from The Maritime College of NY and is married to the Best Woman. Tom is an absolute charity case. We are not really sure how he got invited to the wedding. Alas we love having him around, as he makes strong drinks and keeps us entertained with his very New York way of life. Tom is a good friend, supportive husband, useful handiman, and an otherwise humorous gent.
Bridesmaid
Danielle's best friend from high school - they were randomly assigned to share a room during orientation weekend at George School, and the rest is history! Tiny (Erica) and Yaya (Danielle) were basically roommates despite being day students, since you could usually find them at one or the other's house. Fortunately Rochester isn't THAT far from Baltimore!
Groomsman
Matthew is Kevin's big Brother. As a Musician, Artist, Smooth Operator and charming son of a gun; we hope he will bring some class to the otherwise classless crowd (excluding Kathleen). Kevin is very happy to have his brother with him on his wedding day... and Kevin's hopes to be there for Matt one day too.
Bridesmaid
Danielle's favorite running buddy and general partner in crime. Even though Casey will never understand Danielle's obsession with neon colors and cat spandex, she has tolerated it through numerous Baltimore races and even a run over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge! The one thing they haven't mastered yet is baking macarons - but when they do, they look forward to presenting their work to Mary Berry.
Groomsman
Wil is Kevin's childhood friend, and fellow goof. As an Entrepreneur, Motor Head, and all around non-conformist, Wil brings a Wild Card element to the Groom's Party that is matched by no other. Kevin is very pleased to have Wil next to him at the altar, and to have been able to be next to Wil the day he married Joanna. Kevin was fortunate enough to enjoy Wil's company though many years of tyrannical Catholic education, and Wil makes Kevin laugh like no other.
Bridesmaid
Danielle's best friend from college - they met Danielle's senior year (Courtney's junior) in Dr. Heintzleman's cell biology lab at Bucknell. Yes, they are gigantic nerds. When they weren't talking about motility in diatoms, they were debating which Hogwart's house they belong to (Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, duh). These days you can find them taking wine classes together and discussing the merits of whole-cluster fermentation.
Groomsman
Troy is Kevin's oldest friend and brother from another mother. Kevin is happy to have Troy beside him on the altar, as he was when he had the honor to be Troy's best man in his marriage to Marley. Troy's wisdom is longer than his beard, and we hope he will impart some of that wisdom to the fellow groomsmen. Troy is a loving husband, avid outdoors man, builder, and solver of world problems.
Ring Bearer
Danielle's godson, and generally the cutest 3-year-old you'll ever meet (completely unbiased opinion of the bride). Son of bridesmaid, Christie, and a tough little cookie! Loves Sesame Street and his fur-siblings Biff andLinus. Looking for a date, ladies.
