Wedding Party
Rebecca Ford
Maid of Honor
Alexandra was eight years old when Rebecca came into her life, never knowing that the little girl she was so excited to meet would one day become one of the most important people in her world. What began as the love of a big sister grew into one of the most meaningful friendships of her life. Fiercely loyal, quietly strong, and unconditional in the way she loves, Rebecca has always been someone Alexandra could count on, no matter what life brings. She will forever be the little girl who taught Alexandra what it meant to love someone more than herself. Watching Rebecca grow into the person she is today has been one of Alexandra’s greatest joys, but getting to be her big sister will always be one of her life’s greatest honors.
Frances Nemeth
Bridesmaid
Since they were ten years old, Frances has been the truest definition of a best friend to Alexandra. Her most trusted confidant and the person whose company makes even the most ordinary moments special. Through every chapter of life, Frances has shown up without hesitation, stood beside Alexandra through the hardest moments, and celebrated the happiest ones as if they were her own. To have someone who has known her for almost her entire life and has never once stopped choosing to be by her side is a gift Alexandra will never take for granted.
Emma Dzialo
Maid of Honor
Alexandra’s very first best friend, her first sleepover, her first playdate, and the girl behind so many of her favorite childhood memories. Emma has been making Alexandra laugh until she cries for as long as she can remember, and she couldn’t imagine growing up without her. Emma has been woven into every chapter of Alexandra’s life, always feeling more like family than a friend. And Alexandra can’t help but think how excited those two little girls playing in the backyard 25 years ago would be to know they’d be standing beside each other on this day.
Jenna Barrett
Bridesmaid
Jenna is the friend Alexandra will always wish she had met sooner. Their friendship was built through long nursing shifts, growing into their careers together, and experiences only they could truly understand. They’ve shared some of life’s hardest moments, found laughter in places they never expected, and made memories that will stay with them forever. Through it all, Jenna became Alexandra’s voice of reason and one of her very best friends. From their early days as nurses to watching Jenna become an incredible wife and mother, Alexandra feels lucky to have shared so much of life with her. She may not have known Jenna her whole life, but she can’t imagine the rest of it without her.
Ashley Watson
Bridesmaid
One of the greatest gifts Quinnipiac gave Alexandra was a roommate for four years who became a lifelong friend. From sharing their love of fitness and pushing each other through every challenge to cheering each other on through life’s biggest milestones, Ashley has always been one of Alexandra’s biggest supporters. Strong, selfless, and endlessly loyal, she’s never let the miles between them change the kind of friend she is. No matter how far apart life takes them, Alexandra has never had to question how much she’s in her corner.
Meghan Abate
Bridesmaid
One of the greatest gifts of marrying John is gaining a family that has welcomed Alexandra with open arms, and a sister-in-law who has become so much more than family. Meghan’s strength and resilience speak for themselves, and she has a way of offering the most honest advice without an ounce of judgment. From their shared love of running and new adventures to Alexandra becoming best friends with Meghan’s little Vienna, their relationship has grown into a friendship Alexandra truly treasures. She feels so lucky to be gaining not just a sister, but a lifelong friend.
Jordyn Curran
Bridesmaid
One of the greatest parts of becoming a Curran has been finding a friend who shares so many of the little things Alexandra loves. From their daily conversations to their shared passion for fitness and always finding something new to do, Jordyn has become such a familiar part of Alexandra’s everyday life. Alexandra has been lucky enough to stand beside Jordyn as she married John’s brother and watch her become a mother to Benjamin. It’s special knowing that the milestones they’ve already shared are only the beginning, and that one day they’ll get to watch their own families grow up together.
Grace Ford
Bridesmaid
Some of Alexandra’s most cherished childhood memories are the holidays at Grandma’s and summers spent together on Sunset Beach, and her little cousin is woven into every one of them. More than just a cousin, she is a piece of Alexandra’s childhood she’ll always hold close. As they both prepare to get married in the same year, Alexandra knows Gram Carole is smiling down on the little girls she watched grow up. Alexandra’s greatest hope is that they carry on the closeness and traditions Gram gave them, so their children can grow up with the same memories that made their childhood so special.
Abigail Podlubny
Bridesmaid
Some of Alexandra’s sweetest childhood memories are with Abby, when their biggest plans were building forts, playing with American Girl dolls, and dreaming about the lives they’d one day have. From Christmas Eve traditions to the little moments that made growing up together so special, Abby will always be part of a childhood Alexandra looks back on so fondly. No matter how much time passes, they can still talk for hours as though nothing has changed. How special to now share the wedding day they once dreamed about as little girls.
