Alexandra & Joseph
Wedding Party
Michelle Faierman
Matron of Honor
Quite literally Michelle and Allie have been friends since before they could walk. Growing up down the street from one another, the two embarked on a lifelong friendship full of many competitive soccer games/road trips, pen pal letters, and beanie baby forts. Michelle is one of Allie's few constants in life, and a true selfless listener and care taker Michelle has been there at every stage for Allie. It seems only fitting for Michelle to done the 'Co-Matron of Honor' tile, as this duo comes full circle as #wives.
Lauren Rice
Matron of Honor
Impeccable matchmaker, older sister to the groom, and Co-Matron of Honor. The fastest of friends, Lauren and Allie fell for each other over boozy martinis, SoulCylce and their Taylor Swift obsession. At the time, both living in Chicago - the duo spent night and day together blasting Broadway tunes, having slumbies and cooking up the seasons 'most Instagram-able recipes'. There is likely no other person that can complete Allie's train of thought or anticipate her next move, quite like Lauren can. Though neither grew up with a sister, Allie feels so lucky to share today with her #soulpsycho new SIL, LK.
Ariel Mason
Bridesmaid
Though their stories differ on "how they met". Allie and Ari first crossed paths their Junior Year, in AP Spanish class, while attending Torrey Pines High School. When asked - Ari will claim "Allie was a popular kid and I wasn't" But one thing both gals can agree on is that neither would believe it if you told them; 10 years later Ari would come back into Allie's life and Marry her little brother! SMALL WORLD. The two might not have run in the same circles back in High School, but today these two are close confidants and great friends. Ari can be described as one of the most caring, and loyal friends always remaining unapologetically herself. With not one bad bone in her body, AND always laughing at all of Allie's jokes - It only makes sense to have Ari apart of the bride's hype squad.
Alexa Milewski
Bridesmaid
Allie and Alexa met while working for lululemon in Michigan. Allie hired Alexa to build out the community program of one of the new Store openings. After the two met, Allie was immediately impressed with Alexa's athlete mentality and 'no BS' style. The pair became workout buddies and Allie soon became the beloved auntie and go-to baby sitter for Alexa's shitzu, Oliver. Being a lover of all things adventure, Alexa moved to Colorado, after years of envisioning a life in the mountains. Allie continues to look up to, and admire Alexa's steadfast commitment to a challenge and her personal growth. Through life's failures and triumphs, Alexa has always remained a loyal supportive friend and Allie is honored to have her stand by her today, and always.
Janie Enloe
Bridesmaid
Janie is the biggest "Swiftie" there ever was. Janie and Allie actually met at SoulCycle when they were asked to ride 'double-podium' for Lauren's (MOH) T-Swift Tuesday class. Its safe to say it was love at first 'tap-back'. Janie is an absolute ball of energy, exuding joy and positivity at every moment- no matter the circumstance. She will always find the silver lining or 'glass-half-full' outlook. Janie is also incredibly generous, and jumps at the chance to help those she loves. This was made clear to Allie when Janie offered to drive Allie's car from Chicago to NJ because "she wasn't busy, and could use an adventure" Allie couldn't imagine getting ready for her wedding without Janie. If there is any TSwift dance parties, Janie must be in attendance.
Brittany Conti
Bridesmaid
Britt is the Best Man, Matt's recent Fiancé! Funny enough, when Brittany and Allie met they uncovered they had much more in common then one would have thought. Brittany too comes from an Italian family, loves the outdoors/adventures, and has sent time in both AZ and San Diego. Brittany is one of the most patient and warm people, she exudes love and thoughtfulness no matter the occasion. She has been an incredible sounding board, when homesickness creeps in. She is a true 'breath of fresh air' for Allie in Jersey and constantly reminds Allie of California. Allie cannot express how excited she is to experience life with Britt on their new journey(s) as, 'Mrs. Keane' together! After all the 'Bride squad' needed a neutral 'West coast vs. East coat' vote - and Brittany is the perfect candidate!
Matthew Keane
Best Man
Matt is Joe's older brother who shares the same passion for NY sports as Joe does. Growing up, the goal was for Matt to go to the NHL and Joe the MLB, but the two have recently shifted their athletic career aspirations to the PGA Tour. Now living 2 streets down from one another, Matt and Joe have been able to host family holidays and make dinners for each other, a far cry from mini hockey in the hallway at the Holly Tree Lane house.
Arthur 'Artie' Tildesley
Groomsman
Only living one town apart from one another their entire lives, it wasn't until Artie and Joe traveled all the way to North Carolina, meeting freshman year and becoming immediate 'boys'! Next to Santa Clause, Artie is the jolliest person you'll ever meet. Not only can you call Artie an avid craftsman, recently re-gripping his and the groom's golf clubs, but he also built a 10 foot wooden bar during quarantine! The bar is now a staple of the Tildesley's Family home (Backyard aesthetic) Artie is a modern day renaissance man! Additionally, if you ever need a 4th for golf, Artie is your best bet.
Tyler 'Ty' Riccio
Groomsman
Tyler was the very first friend that Joe introduced to Allie. No shocker here, since meeting, Ty and Allie became fast friends, bonding over all things Italian, fashion and fitness. Tyler is the king of spontaneity and makes it a point to love everyone he meets. When he isn't traveling (on a whim) to Spain, Florida or Italy...you can likely find him working out at Equinox or dining at Via Carota in the West Village.
Michael Lyons
Groomsman
Joe and Mike traveled the world together when they studied abroad in Florence, Italy during their junior year of college. Mike is an avid reader, golfer, pianist and even has a background in High School musical theatre! With his absolute electric singing voice, we could get lucky and twist his arm to sing some John Mayer at the wedding?!
Michael Sansone
Groomsman
Michael and Joe met in high school at Red Bank Catholic. Growing up together and spending many summers on the beach or late nights at Donnie's - Joe and Michael remained close friends and continue to share common passions with each other (fitness, food and their RBC roots) If Michael isn't at the gym or dining at Angelica's, you can find him in the kitchen preparing a gourmet, authentic Italian meal for all his friends and family.
Ryan Grover
Groomsman
Ryan and Joe go all the way back to Little Silver kindergarten. Ryan is quite the athlete, surfer and skateboarder. Joe still thinks the highlight of his athletic career is when Ryan played center field for the Jersey Shore Thunder because he somehow caught every ball hit in his direction. As the saying goes, the earth is covered by 71% water, the other 29% is covered by Ryan Grover.
Doug Whitlock
Groomsman
Doug and Joe met in high school and enjoy sharing a nice bud-light (only beer that Doug likes) together on the beaches of NJ. Back when they were 17, Doug got his license one month before Joe so he took Joe to the DMV driving course and demonstrated how to take the test. Safe to say it worked as Joe got his license on the first try and the two have remained close since!
Adam Howard
Usher
20 years ago, If you told Allie and Adam that the would BOTH end up living in snowy Chicago together - they would have laughed. Fast Forward to 2019/2020, and somehow these two Cali kids found themselves calling the 'Windy City', home. As kids, Adam and Allie loved having adventures, going camping, playing sports, surfing, and visiting family back East at 'The Howard Farm'. As Adults, Adam and Allie couldn't be more different in their careers paths and interests - Adam is an ENT Surgeon in Chicago, and Allie works for a Media Agency in NYC. Regardless of their professional differences, Adam and Allie both value time with family and quality experiences. The Bride couldn't imagine her Wedding Day without her brother's blessing and loving support.
Evan Mason
Usher
Though Evan is the 'Middle' brother of the sibling quad, Allie and Evan have always shared a special bond. As kids there wasn't an activity that Allie and Evan didn't love (Snowboarding, Soccer, Baseball, Surfing, Lifeguarding, and the beach) Its no secret that Joe and Evan also share very similar interests (Sports, Craft beer, the Beach, and Golf!) Specifically, making it their mission to always "out-drive" Randy, on the golf course. Evan has always been an incredible voice of reason no matter the circumstance, for Allie. His perspective is always grounding and supportive. Allie is so proud of her Brother and his accomplishments; from pursuing his goals as a public servant, to most recently becoming a Husband to his beautiful wife, Ari (who is also one of Allie's Bridesmaids and friend)!
Reed Mason
USHER & SPEAKER
If you look up 'Wanderlust' in the dictionary the description will read, "REED"! Allie and Reed both grew up the more 'free spirited' kids in the sibling quad. Both Midwest - transplants, Reed pursued his passion for Baseball and uprooted his 'Cali kid' life to Evanston, IL on a full-ride Baseball Scholarship, to pitch at Northwestern. Allie would travel from Michigan, all over the Midwest to watch her lil brother pitch, calling her mom and stepdad to share game highlights on the drive home. From IL, Australia to Europe, Reed has taken his passions for Baseball across the globe and truly lived out his 'childhood dream'. All accomplishments aside, Allie is most proud of how Reed puts energy into what lights his soul on fire. He is such a role model to so many, especially his big sister.
Caillin Boles
Speaker
Caillin and Joe grew up playing hockey together in New Jersey. Although they went to rival high-schools, they kept the rivalry on the ice. Caillin is always down for a run on Ocean Ave or to take his boat out on the Shrewsbury river. Joe, Allie, Caillin and his girlfirend, Alex all play in a softball league together, where Joe and Caillin are the 2nd best left-side of the infield duo in tri-state history (first being David Wright and Jose Reyes of the '06 Mets) Both Joe, and Allie appreciate the love and support Caillin continues to show the couple, even helping Joe with the big surprise for 'The Proposal'!
Gail Bright
Speaker
Gail is Joe's aunt and lives in the same town as Joe and Allie, Little Silver, NJ! She is one of the most selfless people on earth and always hosting friends and family at Casa de Bright. Gail has truly welcomed Allie into the NJ family, with open arms, being very vocal about how happy she is to add another women to the 'Shanley/Keane/' bunch. Joe and Allie always like to remind Gail, Mark and Dylan that any time they need a dog sitter for their new pup, Trooper- Allie and Joe should be their first call!
Maria Suarez
Flower Girl
This cutie may look harmless and sweet but she has 3 older brothers - so future suitors beware! Baby Maria AKA, Joe's Goddaughter is already pulling on the Groom's heart strings. This leopard loving cutie is the youngest of 4 and only daughter of Joe's cousin, Melissa and hubby, Carlos. Watching Maria's personality blossom has been such a joy for Allie and Joe (that smile!) Allie and Joe are so thrilled that Baby Maria is able to make it all the way to CA for their Wedding Day, especially with her busy baby social schedule. Truthfully they couldn't imagine anyone cuter, sweeter or more perfect for the role of the Flower Girl. Plus, when she returns home to NJ she can tell her 3 bros all about how 'Awwiee' Married her Prince, AND that she got to go on an airplane! Cheers to that baby girl!
George & Kimberly
Father and Stepmother of the Bride
Both 'West Coast transplants' Kim and George now call sunny San Diego, home. Though Allie's collegiate aspirations to go into Law, didn't pan out. These two prominent SD Attorney's, kept the 'Howard dinner debates' a theme in the household. George even judged one of Allie's collegiate mock-trial competitions! Even with busy professional lives, these two always make time for their passions and a bit of FUN! Between spending time at their Montana cabin, Del Mar Race Track, Rotary Club, Golf Outings, not to mention--even in his 60's, George plays in a men's soccer league (60+) and keeps a weekly golf foursome. The Bride wants to share a special THANK YOU to her Georgie for being the worlds most generous and loving Dad. She is so proud to be his daughter today, and always.
Jennifer & Randy
Mother & Stepfather of the Bride
Both born and raised in Southern California, these two cuties are the epitome of #couplegoals. If they aren't at the beach walking, running, swimming or Kayaking--you'll likely find them sipping on Black-barrel margaritas at their favorite local spot, Las Olas. Thanks to Allie's Mom & Randy, the Bride recounts a childhood full of outdoor adventures, sporting events, and MANY at-home art projects. Since officially retiring from her impressive 26-year teaching Career, Jenny has been able to focus on first passion, painting. Joe and Allie greatly admire Jenny & Randy's ability to keep life fun, host an excellent backyard soiree, and their regimented couples workout schedule. Allie hopes to not only inherit her moms genetics but also her kindness, generosity and go-with-the-flow attitude.
Dawn & Jerry
Mother & Father of the Groom
Dawn and Jerry have been married for 35+ years and are high school sweethearts. WOW #goals. Both of Joe's parents grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn NY and have known each other since they were 14. Now living in, Denver, CO Dawn and Jerry continue to improve their golf games and skiing ability out there in the Rockies. Joe and Allie’s recent visits to CO always include lots of wine, golf and playing darts. Dawn and Jerry are so selfless and would jump at the chance to help their loved ones- even allowing Joe and Allie to live in their NJ beach house until the couple found their dream home. Joe wants to share his gratitude for his parents, and all they have done for him and his siblings. Their support is a blessing. Allie can't think of a more amazing women to share the 'Mrs. Keane' title with.
