Wedding Party

Lauren Crowe

Maid of Honor

Lauren and Christine hit things off on a bus ride heading home from their freshman year orientation over night trip in high school. They quickly bonded over their mutual love of music, scary movies, and roller coasters and little did they know, the two of them would be spending their summer days at Six Flags New England. After a full day at Six Flags, Lauren and Christine would go to one of their houses (probably Christine’s) and watch their favorite scary movie or the latest episode of My 600LBS. Life while eating a tub of cookie dough. However, no get together was ever complete without a trip to Sonic, regardless of the time of day or night. Over the years and throughout college, Lauren and Christine remained close and always made sure to update each other on any major life events. Although they now live in different states, the two are constantly sending each other 10 or more Tik Toks, or random stuff on Instagram on a daily basis. Lauren and Christine still occasionally have long distance movie nights to catch up on the latest scary movies or watch the latest episodes of trashy TV. Ever since freshman year of high school, Christine has considered Lauren as family and is so excited to have her as a Maid of Honor on her wedding day!

Nicole Keefe

Maid of Honor

Nicole and Christine became best friends very quickly on their very first day of orientation at their job. Both hired as Paraprofessionals, the two bonded over the fact that they had no idea how to fill out their W-2 form. Nicole actually called her mom to ask for help, while Christine simultaneously texted her mom to also ask for help. They also became best friends very quickly because they were the only two new hires who happened to start on the exact same day. Ever since that day and only having each other through the long days of orientation, Nicole and Christine grew closer and closer. Although they worked in different classrooms, Christine would often stay late at work to keep Nicole company while she prepped activities for the following day. Nicole made the long days much more fun, including those spent at “sick bay” and Christine wouldn’t have been able to make it through the days without her. She is one of the few people that Christine still misses from New Hampshire. Now living in different states, Nicole and Christine keep in contact daily. Although it’s mostly through text, memes, and videos, Nicole always answers the phone when Christine calls no matter what time of day or night it is. Whether it’s a “hey I’m at work still let me call you back” or a 3 hour FaceTime call, Nicole will always be Christine’s Day 1. Christine is so excited to have Nicole as another Maid of Honor and couldn’t imagine life without her!

Brittney Baker

Bridesmaid

Being the youngest of the cousins and only having a 2 year age gap, Brittney and Christine have a lot of great memories together. When Christine was 13 and Brittney was 11, the two went on a legendary 2 week long cross country road trip with their Grandma and Christine’s mom. The two only had each other to keep themselves entertained during the countless hours in the back of a mini van driving through the various deserts out west. Brittney and Christine also kept each other entertained at the many historical landmarks that they were forced to visit, however, the most memorable one was the nighttime light show at Mount Rushmore. Ask one of us and we’ll try our hardest to get through the story without laughing. Thankfully, that trip ended with 5 days at Disneyland in California, which the two could not wait for and was a perfect ending (or reward). From that trip on, Christine and Brittney have shared their mutual love of roller coasters and amusement park rides during one of the many cousin trips to Six Flags. Christine is so excited to have Brittney standing by her side on her big day!

Michelle Blaise

Bridesmaid

Being the oldest (and wisest) cousin out of the four girls, Michelle has always been the "mom" of the group. Despite a 7 year age gap between the two, Christine and Michelle have always shared a special bond. Michelle would spend late nights at Christine's house while her parents were gone, even when Christine was well old enough to stay by herself. During those nights, Michelle introduced Christine to different bands and can be thanked for Christine's love of the Jonas Brothers, Simple Plan, All Time Low and countless other bands. She also introduced Christine to many different hair and makeup styles and the two would do photoshoots in the living room. Michelle is also very talented at using PhotoShop, and can be given credit for the most famous Christmas card that was ever sent out. Being Christine's original concert buddy, her and Michelle have spent many of their days (and nights) at different venues across Connecticut and New York City to see some of their favorites. Ironically, Michelle moved to Christine's hometown soon after she moved down to Virginia. However, being the cousin who "always picks up", Christine often calls Michelle on her way home from work. Their conversations are usually about the latest family news, the latest Jonas Brothers, music, and Disney news, or trying to decide what video game they want to play together later that night. Christine looks up to Michelle like an older sister and is so excited to have Michelle by her side on her wedding day!

Tara Blaise

Bridesmaid

Being the second oldest / middle cousin, Tara is the comedic relief. She is able to crack jokes and lighten up the room even in the more serious situations. Her and Christine share the same sense of humor and can always rely on each other for a good laugh, even after the toughest days. Watch out when the two play Mario Kart though, nothing is off limits then. Tara can be thanked for Christine’s love of roller coasters since she took Christine on her very first one during a birthday party at Lake Quassy Amusement Park. From that day on, Christine and Tara rode every ride together and are still always up for the most insane roller coaster no matter the time of day. Tara can also be thanked for Christine’s love of scary movies ever since she forced her to watch The Sixth Sense during one of the family get togethers. Although the two can go days without talking to each other, they can always rely on each other for that comedic relief whenever the other needs it. Christine couldn’t imagine her wedding day without Tara and is so excited she is in the bridal party!

Kaleigh Cramer

Bridesmaid

Kaleigh was one of the first people Christine met during her first day at her new job in Virginia. Ever since then, Kaleigh and Christine have each other to suffer through long school days, especially ones spent past contract hours. Since Kaleigh now lives in the town over from Christine, they often drive to and from school together. In the mornings, they try to mentally prepare each other for the day ahead while simultaneously complaining about how tired they are. In the afternoons, it is a huge venting session about each other’s day since the two rarely see each other now while at school. There have also been a handful of times where the girls have gotten lost both to and from school even though they have been making the same drive for many years. The two also bond over how many car issues they had within days of each other and can always rely on one another for a ride. Whether they’re catching each other up on their work days or trying to figure out what to eat before long nights spent at school, Christine can always count on Kaleigh for a good laugh and advice about anything and everything. Kaleigh is the best advocate for both her students and friends. Christine is so thankful to not only have Kaleigh at school, but also a “work” best friend. She is so excited to have Kaleigh standing next to her on her wedding day!

Katherine Marshall

Bridesmaid

Katie became Christine’s very first friend after she moved down to Virginia and ever since then, the two have done pretty much everything together. No really, you name it, they have probably done it. The two only live about a mile away from each other and Christine couldn’t be more thankful to have one of her best friends live so close. Katie is always up for a good adventure, and is always willing to go along with Christine’s crazy and spontaneous ideas. Christine considers Katie as her own personal fashion consultant, hair / makeup artist, and one of the best voices of reason. She will always give Christine reasons to keep the dress or get two of the same jackets in different colors. If Christine is unsure about something, her first thought is usually “Katie will know”. Katie and Christine share the same sense of humor (especially after a bottle or two of Prosecco) and have finished each other’s sentences / thoughts countless times. The two also usually send the best videos during the wee hours of the morning and it’s always the best surprise to know the other is awake during that time. Christine can’t even put into words how thankful she is that Katie is in her life and she couldn’t imagine her wedding day without her!

Laura Patrick

Bridesmaid

Laura is the best friend Christine didn't know she needed. The two first met during a mutual friends bachelorette trip and Christine told Laura her life story without even realizing it. Ever since then, the two text daily about work, the latest TV shows and movies, and everything in between. They share a mutual love of food, drinks, and the beach; especially when all three of those things are combined. With Laura living in Virginia Beach, Christine is so happy that she now has an excuse to spend time on the oceanfront and she considers Laura’s guest room as her own. They now even have a tradition of a girls trip to the beach during the summer. Laura is Christine's built in therapist and she is Christine's go-to whenever she needs advice, a listening ear, and / or a venting session if something crazy happens. With her logical thinking and calm personality, Laura has talked Christine off of many, many ledges and is always there to talk things through. Every day, Christine is so thankful that her and Laura met that one weekend in Charleston, South Carolina and she is so excited to have Laura standing by her side on her wedding day!
