Schola Gomes

Schola is Andrea’s second cousin from her mom’s side, but the bond has always felt more like sisters.

Quote that best describes their sisterhood: “To infinity and beyond!”

Sharron Gomes
Maid of Honor
Growing up in a family full of boys, Sharron was the first girl cousin Andrea met - and she quickly became like a sister to her. Even though Andrea’s the older one, she’s got plenty of memories of Sharron looking out for Andrea and showing her what real love and loyalty look like (with a little fun mixed in). Sharron’s quote, “Who run the world? Girls.” - Beyoncé
Connor Wolfe
Groomsman
Connor is one of Alex’s best friends from Penn State. He and Alex lived together their Junior year all the way through post graduation where they also lived together in Piscataway, NJ for about two years before Alex moved into Jersey City with Andrea. The two of them have made countless memories playing golf and going to places like Long Beach Island together.
Ashley Beitel
Bridesmaid
Ashley, is Alex’s sister - and has truly welcomed Andrea into the family with open arms from day one. She’s kind, fun, and also happens to be Serafina’s favorite aunt, which honestly says everything you need to know. Andrea can’t wait to finally have a sister!! Best quote that describes their relationship; “Sisters by chance, friends by choice.” - Liv & Maddie
Ryan Barr
Groomsman
Ryan is Alex’s first cousin on his Mom’s side and the older brother Alex never had. The two of them grew up inseparable and have made countless memories together in Seaisle, over Holidays and wherever else they have been together. Alex can always count on Ryan to liven a room or cheer him up when he is down.
Shannon Lee
Bridesmaid
Andrea met Shannon at U of I, but their friendship really leveled up during COVID - thanks to a matchmaker (and cutest dog ever) Stella. From long road trips (tbt to smoky mountains and Colorado), to frolicking in Chicago, planning a 24 person ski trip, and everything in between, Shannon’s been the first person Andrea thinks of when it comes to a new adventure. Long distance friends now, but still just as loud, chaotic, and full of love - with many more memories ahead!
Kevin Barr
Groomsman
Kevin is Alex's first cousin on his Mom's side and Ryan's younger brother. Alex and Kevin grew up together having adventures in Seaisle City, at one another's homes for Holidays and while camping with their Grandparent's as kids. The two have built a strong bond over the years alongside their siblings - with many new memories to come!
Sweety Patel
Bridesmaid
Andrea met Sweety in the dorms freshman year during an extremely competitive game of spoons. Since then, they’ve shared so much fun navigating adulthood together - from being 18 and figuring everything out in college, to now growing up and being able to talk through real life problems, big and small. Still just as close, just with more life experience (and slightly less chaos? Most of the time).
Christian Corcoran
Groomsman
Christian is Alex's friend from Penn State where they met Freshman year while playing together on the Club Lacrosse Team. Alex and Christian lived together their Junior and Senior years and have maintained a strong bond after college. Christian is a new Dad welcoming his son, Reeve, into the world last year. Alex is glad that Christian is able to take some time off being a new Dad to be part of his wedding party!
Mary Sheehan
Bridesmaid
Mary and Andrea met in band class freshman year of high school, and they quickly became inseparable. From roommates in college to roommates in adulthood, they’ve basically done life side by side. Even now as long-distance friends, nothing’s changed - when they finally get to see each other, they either talk for hours, go out dancing, or just grab tacos and rehash everything going on in their lives. Mary’s seen every version of Andrea, and Andrea’s really lucky she’s stuck around for it all.
Mat Besasparis
Groomsman
Mat otherwise known to the group as Matty B is another one of Alex's friends from Penn State. The two met while playing on the Club Lacrosse Team together where Mat was the goalie. Alex and Mat have also maintained a strong relationship after college and frequently spend time golfing together.
Grace Dixon
Bridesmaid
The first time Andrea and Grace came across each other was in middle school on the soccer field. They were rivals and never guessed that one day they would be on the same team and best friends. From early morning practices to eventually becoming roommates in Brooklyn, they’ve seen each other’s most important milestones. Andrea couldn’t be happier to have her by her side for this one too!
Zach Orner
Groomsman
Zach is Alex's friend from Penn State where the two met Freshman year while playing on the Club Lacrosse Team. Zach and Alex have stayed very close after college and often spend time together gaming, golfing or doing things together outside.
Madhura Patil
Bridesmaid
Madhura and Andrea met freshman year of college and pretty much started doing everything together. Between gym sessions, endless sushi runs, browntown shenanigans, and general college chaos, Madhura was the best partner in crime. She’s the sister Andrea got to choose, and she couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her.
Madison Ong
Bridesmaid
Madison and Andrea met on the first day of MT training at Toyota (same day they met Alex!). From navigating the ins and outs of the professional world, to late nights in different places throughout the country, their friendship has only grown stronger throughout the years. As one of the people who encouraged Andrea to share her feelings with Alex, Madison holds a special place in the couple’s heart. Quote that best describes their friendship; “A true friend accepts who you are but also helps you become who you should be.”
