Hannah & Josh
Wedding Party
Ryan Farrell
Man of Honor
Her oldest brother, Ryan has been there for Hannah since day one, metaphorically and actually. He taught her many of the finer things in life: how to execute a Stone Cold Stunner, the masterpiece that is Tha Carter III, and most important: what it means to be a good sibling. Hannah was fortunate to always follow his example growing up; especially avoiding the mistakes he made to project herself as the golden child. She simply wouldn’t be the woman she is today without him.
Katie Wiseman
Bridesmaid
Shout out to MC orientation group 6 for inspiring this friendship! Hannah is forever grateful Katie walked up next to her at orientation and quickly introduced herself. 12 years later and Katie is still the friendliest person you will ever meet. She is also incredibly caring and generous - and she never forgets that Hannah is the one who introduced her to her husband, Mike. Though she had no idea what good music was before she met Hannah and Mindy, you’ll find her singing along the loudest to any song played from the 2010s era. Find a better weekend wingman? You Can’t.
Laurie Cusack
Bridesmaid
Always down for a late night Taco Bell run, Laurie has been Hannah’s partner in crime since right around that time that Theta Phi bonded them for life. What Laurie may lack in height she makes up for in compassion for others and aggress…well..let’s call it spirit. Her loyalty to her friends is unmatched - as is her ability to cheer you up when you need it the most. You’ll find her on the dance floor with a Tito’s and diet in one hand as she takes her shoes off with the other.
Mindy Bouras
Bridesmaid
Mindy was Hannah’s roommate all through their years at Merrimack. Enough said. But really- Mindy was equal parts roommate/therapist/confidant/DJ/photographer/study buddy. Her ability to listen and call things as they are is easily the most endearing thing about her. She knows how to turn any time into a good time and will always get others on her level. Need a scene caused? Ask for Mindo.
Cassandra Moniz
Bridesmaid
The Deegan West second floor nook started it all. It’s okay that they didn’t talk first semester because Hannah was scared of her- they made up for it in the years since! If you could bottle up all things happy and sweet you’d end up with Cassandra. The most level-headed and kind - hearted person in the room, you just can’t have a bad time if she’s around. Everyone needs a Cassandra.
Kevin Baroni
Best Man
Kevin and Josh met when they were little at Bancroft. In Josh’s eyes, he was just as tall and goofy then as he is now, even the guidance counselor said his shoes were like clown shoes. Though they grew up with age, their maturity levels have yet to catch up. Kevin has always been down for a good time. He is a part of the neighborhood gang that is making up the wedding party today. He’s definitely a rider for sure. Always take the over my friend.
Brendan McCarron
Groomsman
Brendan - the smallest one of the bunch- has always been there. Bren and Josh also go way back to the neighborhood and Bancroft crew until he ditched them for a better education at Central Catholic(still determining if that was even worth it). Brendan is also never one to say no to good time and a beer at the Nines. Ask him about 2015. It was their second home that always turned into a bigger adventure and 4 am Uber ride home.
Andrew Lebowitz
Groomsman
Andrew, the third and final member of the neighborhood crew and Bancroft alum. He may say it was always Josh’s fault when bad ideas got worse, but he never said no to them either. From causing trouble in town or 100 miles away in New Hampshire at the lake he’s always been there for Josh just like everyone else has. Also the John Kerry thing was 80% his idea you can ask him about it.
Paul Lowe
Groomsman
Paul is the odd man out but not really the oddest one in this group. Josh met Paul through Kevin- they did college stuff together. But as the years went by and all the get aways together as a group, Paul definitely grew on Josh. Never a dull moment crushing bud lights, betting outrageous bets, and watching him fall asleep at the bar or more cozily on the couch. He’s a part of the family of guys today.
