Alexandra & Brandon
Wedding Party
Susan and Jon Goddard
Mother of Bride/Father of Bride
If you know Al Goddard, you know these two are her best friends in the universe... and if you really know Al, you know she calls them about ten times a day - to say hi, to ask for recipe help, or just to tell them she loves them. They have been her biggest supporters, her sounding board, and her safe place through it all. Al has always admired the love they share - the way they show up for each other and their family, the laughter, the ease, the partnership. They are truly inspirations and the best role models she could ever ask for. There really are not enough words to express how thankful she is for them and the example they have set.
Elizabeth Gallant
Maid of Honor
Fiercely loyal and endlessly supportive - the kind of big sister everyone wishes they had. Al has always looked up to Elizabeth as her voice of reason - the one she turns to for guidance, the one who keeps her grounded, and the one who always tells it like it is. She’s one of the first people Al calls for anything, whether it’s life advice or just to help decide what to buy. Somehow, she manages to be both wise and effortlessly cool. With her calm, steady presence balancing Al’s wild side, she’s not just an icon - she’s a constant. And there’s truly no one Al would rather have by her side today.
Michelle Goddard
Bridesmaid
Best sister-in-law ever - genuine, steadfast, and the kind of person who makes you feel lucky to have her in your corner. Michelle has been part of Al’s life since 6th grade graduation, always feeling more like a best friend than anything else. She brings warmth, laughter, and a down-to-earth energy that makes everyone feel at home. Al knows she can always count on Michelle for a real talk, a good laugh, and the kind of support that never wavers.
Josie Fair
Bridesmaid
Kind, reliable, and always true to herself, Josie is the kind of cousin and best friend you are so blessed to have. Humble yet confident, she’s quietly led the way for the girl cousin squad that came after her. From day one, she’s been like a built-in best friend - offering perspective, support, and a big-sister kind of wisdom. Every group needs a Josie: steady, fun, honest, and never afraid to speak her mind. She has a special ability to make all those around her feel so loved!
Maggie Fair
Bridesmaid
The yin to Al’s yang, Maggie has always been her partner in crime. Their connection runs deep - rooted in understanding, shared energy, and a rare kind of closeness. Though they’re the same age, Al looks up to her in countless ways. When they’re together, it’s chaotic, unforgettable, and 100% real. With her vibrant spirit and magnetic energy, Maggie lights up every room and turns ordinary moments into something so electric.
Elle Fair
Bridesmaid
Elle is the kind of person who simply shows up - with a visit, a call, a text, or a conversation that sticks with you long after it’s over. Thoughtful and endlessly caring, she’s always ready to drop everything for the people she loves. When the music’s on, she’s the first to hit the dance floor, sing along, or bring the energy. Elle has a rare gift for making people feel seen and completely comfortable in her presence - a forever best friend!
Katie Fair
Bridesmaid
Katie radiates kindness and always keeps everyone centered. She’s honest and straightforward in a way Al admires, with a sarcastic sense of humor that keeps everyone on their toes. Living nearby has been the best - Al gets to share little moments with her. Around Katie, laughter comes easily, and there is never a lack of love: the kind of love that’s contagious enough to make Al’s nieces start cheering, “Katie! Katie! Katie!” whenever she is around.
Amanda Frank
Bridesmaid
Amanda is Al’s “twister” - a nickname their high school lacrosse coach coined because they were always like a wild storm together. She’s brutally honest, fun, and brings so much life to every single day. Al can always count on her Twista for the craziest stories or to be the first to break any type of news. After all these years of friendship, Al feels incredibly lucky to have Amanda in her life. They’ve shared way too many laughs together, and with her around, there’s truly never a dull moment.
Keelin McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Keelin is our resident fashionista who keeps us all in check... with style and grace. You know you’ve really made it when you can get her to laugh. A friend since their Gates School days, she’s been a steady, genuine presence in Al’s life - the kind of person who makes everything feel a little more effortless and connected just by being there. Thank God Al and Keels took the chance to go to that Kesha concert with Amanda and Brooke early in HS - that’s how this insane group first came to be.
Brooke Goshtigian
Bridesmaid
Brooke brings out Al’s playful side. They always just get each other going - one joke, one look, and it’s absolute chaos (the best kind). Always up for an adventure, whether planned way ahead or totally last minute, she’s witty, sarcastic, and always knows how to liven up a room. Creative and full of energy, Brooke makes every moment more memorable. Together, Al and Brooke are the kind of friends you definitely don’t want stuck in an awkward moment, because you can count on the laughter to start right away.
Andy McNulty
Best Man
Brandon has been friends with Andy for over 10 years, starting as freshman-year roommates and basketball teammates. One of his very best friends, Andy is incredibly loyal, always has your back, and knows how to have one helluva time. He married Alex (his junior-high sweetheart), and together they’ve become family to Brandon and Al. Brandon has lost count of the times he’s asked Andy for advice and received honest, no-nonsense feedback… and the laughs they share are priceless. Together, you can often find them talking basketball, debating coaches, dancing, and just enjoying life.
Jonny Goddard
Groomsman
Jonny has become a big brother and best friend to Brandon - someone he looks up to as a man and a guiding example of being an incredible dad and husband. He’s been there for countless memorable moments, always ready with a cigar, a thoughtful conversation about life, a walk down Circuit Ave, or a good laugh. Brandon feels beyond grateful to have the Goddard men standing by his side on this day!
Matty Goddard
Groomsman
Another soon-to-be brother Brandon is lucky to have in his life, Matty has also become a best friend, like Jonny. His passion for life and ability to connect with people inspires Brandon every day. Brandon admires how Matty always steps outside his comfort zone, tries new things, and embraces every opportunity. He shares Brandon’s love for food, shows, music, and an “up for anything” mindset.
Trey Witter
Groomsman
Trey is thoughtful, honest, and motivated. Every time Brandon’s with him, he’s reminded how much Trey genuinely cares about what everyone’s up to and the people in his life. He’s the type of friend who wants to see everyone do well, instills belief in those around him, and always brings great energy wherever he goes. He’s down for a good time... and always the first to report anything basketball-related.
Ben Diamond
Groomsman
Ben is kind, genuine, and always positive. A true New York City kid, he brings nonstop energy and spirit everywhere he goes. His enthusiasm is contagious, and he’s always so inclusive of everyone around him. Springfield College may have given him a teammate, but Brandon gained a lifelong friend in Ben!
Robbie Burke
Groomsman
Rob and Brandon first bonded over the passing of a jersey number at Springfield (he was 32 before Brandon), but their friendship really grew while living in Springfield after college. He has a true gift for bringing people together, making everyone laugh, and always being there for them. He would do anything for the people in his life...and if you can survive a place like that Edgeland House, you’re friends for life.
Sam Badeau
Groomsman
Sam is Brandon’s longest friend. They became close walking to elementary school together, meeting at the stop sign - a memory they still toast to with the classic line “For the stop sign.” Sam is laid-back and extremely supportive, so much so that he even made his college friends watch the DIII Final Four that Brandon’s team was in during Spring Break 2018. Always up for an adventure, they have shared countless concerts and unforgettable experiences together.
