Jennifer & Andrew
Wedding Party
Adam
Officiant
I met Jenn in high school, we weren’t super close at first but as the years went on we got closer and our chemistry was natural. It was psych with Mrs. Tallman that really made us best friends. Our friendship grew stronger as we returned to work together every summer at The K Club and spent our days off (and paychecks) together! During one of those summers I had the chance to meet Andrew. His connection with Jenn was so evident and easy, it was amazing to see and made me so happy. Andrew and I had the chance to get to know each other better during school breaks—we always were the last 2 awake at parties leading to our own friendship that has grown over the years. I’ve had the chance to grow with the two of you, see your love strengthen, and am so happy to marry the two of you in October!

In 2012 Jenn and I met in the dorms of UMASS Dartmouth. Jenn immediately sought me out to be friends and we’ve been inseparable since. Fast forward to 2014, through fate and a few mutual friends Andrew comes into our lives. From that point onward he’s become our other best friend. I’ve loved watching them build their life together and am so thrilled that they want me to be involved in their big day!

I’ve known Andrew since I was born and he’s always been there for me. He also shaped a lot of other things about me whether that be how I dress, the music I listen to and a lot of my shared interests. He was my first friend, my first bully, and my first role model and I couldn’t be happier for him to spend the rest of his life with an amazing person like Jenn. I remember one of the first times I met Jenn at a family Christmas party and how quickly she adapted to our crazy family and fitting right in. Jenn has always been an amazing friend to me. I’m so glad that I can welcome a new sister to the family and hope that I can make many more memories with them as they continue to grow together.

Jenn and I initially met in 7th grade science class, becoming close friends just a few years later. We share many unique interests that have brought us together in an unbreakable way, our friendship evolving into family. Our lives have intertwined in an inseparable way, not allowing time nor distance to weaken our bond. Andrew too has become like a brother to me, with countless memories and laughs shared between us all. I am beyond grateful to join them on this day and to witness the continual journey of their love.

I happen to have known Jenn longer than everyone in the wedding party (since 1994). I lived with her longer than any of the other so called "roommates" that detail their time spent living with Jenn on this page. She was my first friend and longest friendship I'll have had in my life. When Jenn began dating Andrew, I wasn't sure what to think. I knew he was from Lynn, and you know what they say about Lynn. I'm not the most welcoming person to new people who enter my life. I soon realized we share a ton of basic guy interests like sports, tv, video games, etc. I saw him as a laid-back guy that anyone could get along with. I've seen him treat my sister with love and respect, and she's not always easy to deal with. I already see Andrew as a family member and am excited to be by their side.

I met my now sister-in-law Jenn & Andrew for the first time at their college graduation celebration in 2016. I was hopeful that this witty and pretty younger sister to my new boyfriend would like me. I soon discovered we would bond quickly as we spent time at family holiday parties, birthday celebrations, and during O’Neil family trips to NYC, Providence, & Nantucket. Jenn became an even bigger part of my life when I joined her family by marrying her brother Pat, and she was practically my personal stylist and wedding planner along the way. I am so happy that Jenn met someone as great as Andrew to spend the rest of her life with. I can’t wait to stand by their side on their big day, & I also can’t wait to have a new brother (in addition to my new sister) on future O’Neil family adventures.

Andrew & I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. He was a year behind me in school, but from an early age I looked up to him. We spent early years going to each other’s superhero themed birthdays, playing Lynn Youth Soccer and baseball at the park. Andrew hooked up a GPS to me and followed me from OLA, to MC, all the way through college at UMASS. We even both “worked” for my dad through a few summers. Through it all he has been the best friend I could ever ask for and I truly love him like a brother. I’ve also been lucky enough to see his relationship with Jenn grow from its very early days. Jenn is a remarkable human who welcomes everyone with open arms. I love both of them more than this blurb could ever say and I am honored to stand by their side on their wedding day.

Andrew has been there from day one, literally. He never complained about me tagging along or sharing a birthday party with me. He paved the way for me and always been somebody I looked up to. He’s helped me grow, teaching me to be tough in all aspects of life. I couldn’t be happier for him having found someone as incredible as Jenn. I met Jenn 7 years ago when Andrew brought her home to meet our family. She instantly had a positive impact on my life as we quickly became close. She has been a perfect role model as one of the kindest, strongest, and most hard-working women. I couldn’t imagine anyone better to bring into our family and be the big sister I’ve always wanted. Together they have been my most amazing role models in life and in love. I’m so lucky to join them on their special day!

My friendship with Andrew began in college. At the time we were two strangers in an on-campus apartment with mutual friends. Friendship grew quickly between us as we bonded over music, argued over a spectrum of sports topics, and agreed that a used Nintendo Gamecube is the best gaming system for broke college students. Through Andrew I met Jenn, who at the time was his charismatic plus one for all our college adventures. I’ve been riding alongside Andrew and Jenn’s relationship for the years following. From $5 pizzas and Mario Kart during college to elegant home cooked meals and Mario Kart in more recent years, my relationship with them has been a constant in my life. It was also through their love that I found love myself, convincing their roommate, Julie, to give me a chance years ago.

After confessing to Jenn at a party that I always call her “the pretty girl” whenever I would see her around campus, we became roommates for the first time - living together in a campus apartment for a year. However, I think we can both agree the significance of our friendship has multiplied greatly since becoming roommates again post graduation. Jenn has become like a sister to me & we often joke how there’s no word to describe our bond. I’ve loved becoming closer to Jenn & Andrew; eating take-out on the living room floor & laughing until I fall asleep on the couch will be memories cherished forever. We’ve all made huge impacts on each other’s young adulthoods & have seen each other through ups and downs. I’m beyond thrilled to watch these two fall even more in love on their special day.

It’s a rare and incredible thing to meet someone in life that you are so lock-step with on thoughts, interests, music taste (and hot takes), that you think “man, this guys just gets me, and I get him.” That’s how my friendship has been with Andrew since day one. From wide-eyed freshman, to nearly 10 years later as (probably still wide-eyed) adults, our friendship has been a constant. These past 10 years of friendship have been an awesome journey. We are the Vikings. The positive impact that Jenn has had on my life, Andrew’s life, and our friendship has been profound. She is the glue that holds us all together. I'm so lucky that Andrew met a person like Jenn, allowing me to get to know her and earn the privilege of calling her my friend. I am so happy to be able to celebrate with you.

I met Jenn and Andrew in college, and even though it was a funny bit to only see them once a year (on Saint Patrick’s Day), I’m really glad we’ve started to pump those numbers in recent years. From seasonal brunches to obscure twitter memes to hour long text conversations to make the absolute most mundane choices, I'm so happy I've got to watch Jenn and Andrew grow as a couple. They're Watertown's finest, the best dog parents (shoutout Mo), and I am so lucky to stand with them on their big day.
