Maid of Honor
Big sister, best advice giver, most willing to tell it like it is - Mary Grace has been constant source of support for Helen's whole life. She instantly welcomed Mackenzie to the family and continues to be one of Helen's biggest cheerleaders. Of course, Helen is so excited for Mary Grace to stand by her side as MoH.
Bridesmaid
As Mackenzie's younger sister, Meredith has been there for Mackenzie's biggest life moments. While she doesn't cheer for the Yankees, she does always cheer for Mackenzie - Mackenzie and Helen are both excited that she'll be part of another one of his biggest moments (and Helen is so happy to be gaining another sister who shares her love of shopping!)
Bridesmaid
Met by sliding into Helen's DMs before grad school; the rest is history. Shares an affinity for drinking too much diet coke, blasting Noah Kahan, and watching bad reality TV with Helen. As roomies, they're inseparable (and most DEFINITELY a nuisance to their neighbors). They've seen each other through so many big moments over the past two years - it wouldn't be a celebration without Alex by Helen's side!
Bridesmaid
Introduced to each other by Natalie, Camille and Helen instantly connected. You can usually find them walking all over Central Park, enabling each other to go shopping when they definitely should not be, or in each other's TikTok DMs. Helen especially appreciates Camille's willingness to full send every event and offer endless advice.
Bridesmaid
Was the first person Helen met at NYU - they have almost the same bday, the same name, and their grandmas are neighbors. They've kept each other sane through college, grad school, and early 20s chaos, so it's only fitting Eleni will be by Helen's side as she walks down the aisle!
Bridesmaid
Emma and Helen were groupmates in a random grad school simulation project...after enduring that together, they knew they had to be friends. They can frequently be found swapping playlists, so don't be surprised when they tear up the dance floor together at the wedding.
Bridesmaid
First real interaction with Helen was when Katherine emailed her and asked her to swap rooms so she could live with Natalie - thankfully the universe had different plans and allowed them all to live together. They became quick friends, bonding over a love of Pittsburgh and a deep appreciation for late-night taco bell runs.
Bridesmaid
Despite their first meeting involving Helen not responding to Natalie in a group chat, Helen and Natalie quickly became friends after living together at NYU. It's a testament to how much Helen loves Natalie that she didn't make Natalie's photo here the one of her at the Twilight premiere (even though she thinks that it's the best photo ever).
Bridesmaid
Met in freshman seminar at NYU, where she and Helen had an unspoken agreement to fill all the awkward silences in class (the rest of their classmates should be thankful, to be honest). They have honestly not stopped yapping since and enjoy keeping each other company while Kyle and Mack talk about fantasy football.
Ceremony Musician/Composer
As sisters, Helen and Caroline were each other's childhood best friends. Helen and Mackenzie have always been awed by Caroline's musical talents and are honored that she agreed to compose and perform all of the music for the ceremony.
Junior Bridesmaid
Although Annie is 10 years younger than Helen, they used to be roommates way back when. Fortunately, their sisterly relationship survived the experience and they now love talking about Olivia Rodrigo and getting Dunkin' iced coffee together.
Junior Bridesmaid
The baby of the family, Erika was only 5 years old when Mackenzie and Helen started dating. Despite Erika's several misguided attempts to break them up when she was a kindergartner, Helen and Mackenzie can't wait for her to be part of their special day.
Best Man
Their parents have known each other since before Nate and Mack were born; Nate and Mack have since seen each other through high school football games, failed baseball tryouts, and even a golf cart accident. Nate was actually the first person Mack told he liked Helen, so it's especially special that he'll be supporting Mack as his best man on the big day.
Groomsman
As Helen's little brother, Pete and Helen have been through it all —from crazy childhood adventures to now navigating adulthood together. Pete has always offered a laugh and is quick to offer to help with everything from house repairs to late night McDonald's runs. We couldn't imagine our wedding day without him!
Groomsman
As MG's husband, Alec (otherwise known as Mr. Christmas) has been a key supporter in Helen and Mack's relationship. Whether it's cracking jokes to lighten the mood or being the voice of reason during family debates, Alec is always the guy you can count on. We're so excited he'll be part of our wedding!
Groomsman
Ever since sitting at the same high school lunch table, Mack, Carlos, and Austin instantly bonded. While Carlos is a Bengals fan, they were luckily able to move past that difference and continue their friendship through college. When not talking football, Mack and Carlos can often be found playing 2K.
Groomsman
Since their high school days in FBLA, Mack and Austin connected over their love for OSU (go Bucks). Through shared trauma over Halloween Haunt at King's Island and many (many) different sports leagues, they've remained close friends despite not living in the same city for the past seven years.
Groomsman
As Mack's cousin, Riley and Mack share many childhood memories (including teaching Grandma how to be a star basketball player). When not causing trouble at family functions, they can usually be found talking about music and planning the next family football matchup.
Groomsman
Mack has always seen Brayden as a younger brother, bonding over their love of sports and even experiencing their first playoff game together in 2016. They particularly love to golf together, so it shouldn't surprise you if they get a round in at some point during the wedding weekend!
Groomsman
Dan is Helen’s older brother and someone she’s always looked up to. Whether he was giving her rides long before she had a license or offering thoughtful advice when she needed it most, he’s been a steady and supportive presence in her life (and Mackenzie's!). We’re so happy to have him with us to celebrate this special day.
