Maid of Honor
Kelsey is the Maid of Honor. Kelsey's newly found lifestyle involves working out like crazy. She looks really good in a bathing suit, which works out well for her when she is hanging out in our hot tub singing along with Hadley to Celine Dion. She shares Hadley's bad taste in music, but has her own really bad taste in movies. She also hasn't seen any movie or show you might want to ask her about other than "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Kelsey loves her two dogs and is romantically involved with the groomsman, Pete. She is smart, funny, good looking, the whole package. You can catch Kelsey fighting over the bouquet at the wedding.
Best Man
Ever since I broke his arm in the first grade Ryan has taken a fondness to me. We have shared a lot of great times over the years and have supported each other at every turn. When my phone rings, I know it is Ryan before I even look. You can usually catch him at home with is lovely wife, Heather, and his two boys. Ryan also loves birds, whiskey, and dancing. He is formerly known as the white Usher.
Matron of Honor
Say hello to Carly. She is a great sister to Hadley, the perfect daughter to Mike and Bev, super-wife to Charlie, and a loving mom to Callum. She has another child on the way and will be traveling with children-in-lap on a plane over the Atlantic Ocean when she comes back to the U.S. for our wedding. She has a way of controlling the situation as has been explained to me by Kait and Hadley. The first time I met her she made me curl up under a large bird statue and pretend I was an egg. I didn't even see it coming. Because of Carly's strong academic achievments, I got to eat the world's best sushi in Vancouver, and also got to hang out in Newcastle when we flew out to her wedding reception. I now have a passport with a few stamps. I will be blessed to gain Carly as my sister-in-law.
Groomsman
Meet my brother, John. I taught him a lot growing up. Luckily he was able to get past all of that. John is a solid family man who loves his wife, Katie, and his daughter, Addy. John is an Assistant Athletic Director, Physical Education teacher, and a football coach with a personality that is suited to helping our youth. John enjoys summers and holidays off, playing volleyball every day for a living, and singing along to every song on the radio. He is also known to make an appearance singing at local watering holes, weddings, campfires, in the car, or anywhere else someone will listen. He has a voice that is a cross between Fergie and Jesus. We are happy that John will be with us during the wedding even though Ryan forgot to include him in the groomsmen group chat.
Bridesmaid
The lovely Jess Tatten is a bird expert. She enjoys spending time outdoors, watching her husband Rob play the drums, playing fetch with Porter, and beating Hadley at Bocce. Her party trick is knowing every line to the movie, "Superbad". She is beautiful, smart, kind, has a gentle soul and also a sneaky wild side. I am happy to have had the pleasure to get to know her. She is a great friend and we are happy that she can be a part of our wedding.
Groomsman
Pete is a military man who has done his and everyone else's share of service for our country. Pete enjoys hot tubs and unorthodox first-aid measures. Pete loves riding his snowmobile and his KTM adventure motorcycle. We are happy to have spent time with Pete over the past few years. He is a solid dude who loves to have a good time. We are fortunate to have him as a friend and happy to have him as a groomsman. He is involved romantically with the maid of honor, Kelsey. She also loves hot tubs.
Bridesmaid
Kate is one of Hadley's oldest friends and is definitely someone that she can always count on. She is a loving mother, and is married to Willie. Kate has a great sense of humor. She and Hadley have spent countless car rides harrassing Hadley's father, Mike. But I am sure Mike considers her as another one of his daughters. We are blessed to have Kate as a part of our wedding.
Groomsman
Meet Mark. He is a hard-working, business-oriented individual who is also a super-dad to his daughter, Lucy. Mark is married to my sister Marla's best friend, Shelby. Mark loves jamming out on his drums, going out on the boat on Lake Champlain, and seeing live shows in Burlington, VT. Mark would give you the shirt off of his back. He is a stand-up guy even when he is sitting down.
Bridesmaid
We have had the absolute pleasure to get to know Madison for just over a year now. We met her through groomsman, Stash (Dan), and we could not be more lucky to have made such a good friend. She is gorgeous, super-smart, funny, and wise beyond her years. She is also a great swimmer, is becoming a serious cyclist, and is tough-as-nails. She cheats at cards, though, and is vicious to play against in board games. She also loves hot tubs.
Groomsman
You will never figure out this man. I didn't even know his real name until over a year into our friendship. Seriously though, Stash is a good friend to many. He is a hard-working guy who is always willing to lend a helping hand. He is an old soul and a beast on a bicycle. He is a fun-loving guy who is always up for a good time. I got to know Stash through many bike rides, then Hadley and I got to know him better through many days and nights of conversation with he and his special lady friend, Madison. We are very happy that he can be a part of our wedding.
Bridesmaid
Meet the smoking-hot Heidi. She is married to groomsmen, Ryley. Without a doubt, she is the foundation of the beautiful family that she and he share. She is a no-nonsense woman who thinks very deeply, and is always a pleasure to be around. We are thrilled to have Heidi as a part of our wedding, and to have gotten to know her over many date-nights with she and Ryley. We look forward to many more fun times ahead. Heidi also really loves hot tubs.
Groomsman
Ryley is the guy who looks out for everyone. You can catch him running on the trails or hanging from monkey bars at Spartan events. He is married to the beautiful and intelligent bridesmaid, Heidi. He is an excellent dad to his very smart and talented children, Lydia, Madelyn, and JT. Ryley is a loyal friend and a good guy but keep an eye on him when he is drinking whiskey.
Bridesmaid
You can't miss Meagan. She is the beautiful bridesmaid with the best hair on the planet. We have gotten to know Meagan through many Sundays lost in hours of conversation. There is much more to Meagan than meets the eye. She is a sensitive, loyal, and caring person who spends her work days taking care of children with special needs. She enjoys hot tubs. We are very happy to have Meagan in our wedding.

Max is the best brother-in-law that a guy can ask for. He is also the fastest man alive. Max is a family-man who supports my little sister, Marla, and their two really cool kids, Anthony and Penny. Max enjoys skinny-skiing and night-putting. We are thankful to have him as a part of our wedding.
Bridesmaid
Kait is like a sister to Hadley and Carly. She and her husband Rob are both active in the military, love their dogs, and have their first born child on the way. Kait is cunningly smart, easy on the eyes, and does not take shit from anyone. She is also a lot of fun to be around. We are happy that she can be a bridesmaid, though she will likely not be in attendance with her newborn baby at the time of the wedding. She really likes hot tubs.
Groomsman
Greg and I go way back to the days of Drury High School. I can't share many of our stories.

Greg also goes by the alias, "Panama Red". Having Greg in our wedding will be a pleasure.

Izzy is a great person who is almost always in a good mood, is hard-working, has common-sense, and is a pleasure to be around. I am blessed to be her dad. Hadley and I are happy to have Isabella in our lives and as a part of our special day.

Larry is the OG mountain biker in our group. We met years ago playing hockey for the Blizzards. You can catch Larry out riding one of his steel-frame single speeds or his titanium hard tail. Larry enjoys working on the Greylock Glen trail system, running Sunday morning hockey at Williams, and spending time with his wife, Loretta and their three talented children. You can win his affection with a cold yeungling, an Italian sub from Angelina's or an invitation to a local swimming hole.
