Jillian & Alex
Wedding Party
Heather Wirth
Maid of Honor
Heather isn’t just my big sister—she’s been my built-in best friend for as long as I can remember. I’ve looked up to her my entire life, not only because she’s my big sister, but because of her strength, her compassion, and her uncanny ability to love people fiercely while keeping them in line. And yes, she has a legendary tough side—I learned very early on that borrowing her clothes required a full security clearance and a solid exit strategy. She’s always burning the candle at both ends (hence the tattoo to prove it), somehow still showing up for everyone, and she does the best skeleton dance I’ve ever seen. I truly couldn’t imagine this day without Heather by my side as my Maid of Honor, and I’m so grateful I get to have my sister, my best friend, and my biggest supporter plan this whole wedding for me. - Jill
Lauren Hines
Bridesmaid
Lauren and I first met at a bar through mutual friends, and we instantly clicked, forming a friendship we both knew would last a lifetime. She’s the silliest, music-loving wild child I know—always ready to meet me down by the river with a bottle of wine in hand. Yet beneath all the fun, Lauren is a trusted, caring friend and a voice of reason I can always count on. - Jill
Alexandra Skabardonis
Bridesmaid
Alexandra and I have been friends for a few years now, originally meeting online when we were both searching for girlfriends in our area after college. From the start, she proved to be a loving, thoughtful, and deeply supportive friend—the one I can always turn to whether I need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to vent with. She’s unwavering, kind, and, let’s be honest, basically a Greek goddess with the most incredible hair. - Jill
Sydney Herrick
Bridesmaid
Sydney and I met during our freshman year at ECSU while trying to sort out living arrangements for sophomore year with a group of girls. Little did we know that our terrible sophomore housing situation would end up bonding us for life—nothing brings people together quite like sharing a closet-sized dorm room with six girls. Since then, Sydney has been the friend who’s always down for a spontaneous HomeGoods trip or to cheer me on during yet another ear-piercing adventure. She’s chill, hard-working, loves dogs, and someone I feel incredibly lucky to have by my side. - Jill
Ian Rooney
Best Man
Ian has been with me since the very beginning and everything along the way. I feel I have a unique relationship with him even for brothers. Growing up, moving around a lot and traveling between SC and CT to visit family, Ian was the only friend I had access to at all times. We always had each other and naturally developed similar interests and senses of humor. There are too many stories and anecdotes to share just one. After growing up, and Ian growing taller than me, I can confidently say that I can rely on him for anything big or small. I am truly blessed and honored to have him as a brother. I know that we will only grow closer and we will have each other for the rest of our lives, no matter what happens. For these reasons he is my best man. - Alex
Seth Waldron
Groomsman
Seth and I have been best friends for over a decade. We first met when I was in second grade and Seth came over to watch a movie. I made sure he knew it was R rated and he'd better have permission from his mom. Always the rebellious type, Seth assured me it was not a concern of his. To this day Seth has an individualistic and self driven personality which you may not notice under his reserved demeanor. He is deeply introspective and a true friend. I am proud of Seth for being a young father and who could forget, a BJJ Master. For his talents in martial arts and my deep history with him, I am honored to have him as a Groomsman. - Alex
Kevin Gomes
Groomsman
Kevin and I have been friends since fourth grade. I introduced him to Seth over the years. I fondly remember one of the first times we all hung out together. We visited the Subway in Webster MA. Seth and I devoured our twelve inch subs in moments, while Kevin could barely handle six inches. Seth and I made fun of his "mouse bites". Thankfully Kevin has a good sense of humor and has been one of my closest friends ever since. He is someone you can rely on to tell it to you straight and I know he is always there for me when I am in a pinch. I am proud of him for his willingness to help his family and put them before himself. For my long friendship with Kevin I am honored to have him as my Groomsman. - Alex
TJ Bartlett
Groomsman
From teaching Heather and I to play football in the living room, to showing us how to change our oil in our cars, TJ has been the best big brother I could have ever asked for. The unofficial family comedian, TJ is always bringing good vibes and never showing up anywhere empty-handed. We are so blessed to have TJ in our lives, he is always looking out for us and always coming over to eat delicious burgers with us. - Jill
