Harrison Rieber
Groomsman
Harrison and Garrett's friendship is so deep-rooted that the two can't even remember how they met. They only know it began in elementary school and has thrived ever since. Their bond grew stronger through years of playing sports together. Harrison still believes he can ‘D-up’ Garrett up on the basketball court, though, sadly, this has never been the case. Some off-the-court memories include 2K Dynasty Mode marathons back in high school and visiting Harrison at Oswego State during his college years. Harrison is a committed police officer with the Suffolk County PD. He is also a charismatic, genuine, and chivalrous husband and expectant father.

Jake Barzilay
Groomsman
In a twist of fate, a heated t-ball game unexpectedly turned two rivals into the best of friends. To set up the scene, someone was chased off the baseball field with a baseball bat (can you guess who?) You got it – groomsman number three! Their shared love of sports has them competing in seven different fantasy leagues together. They've also created countless memories, from intense pool basketball tournaments at Jake's childhood home to Garrett flying across the country to join Jake on his infamous west coast rap tour.

Brittany Perdigao
Bridesmaid
Eighteen years ago, Brittany and Stephanie's paths first crossed on a softball field. Despite attending rival high schools, fate brought them together again on the SNHU softball team, where they (along with KT) became inseparable. The trio, affectionately known as "SKB," shared countless memories during their college years. Today, Brittany is a dedicated police officer with the Easton PD, and through life's many milestones, she and Stephanie have remained best friends. Their next milestone is to stand side by side at each other's weddings!
Weston Hannon-Bogosh
Groomsman
On Weston's first day at Union, he met his teammate Garrett. Naturally, Garrett introduced Weston to some lighthearted “team building exercises”. The rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Weston and Garrett have shared many experiences together. They lived together in Boston and have traveled across the country, visiting places like Chicago, Myrtle Beach, and going to Coachella. Weston is a Data Analyst at One Space Inc. (whatever that means.) He is always down for a good time especially when adult beverages are involved. But really, you won't miss him – his handsome smile and luscious locks will make him easy to spot.
Nicole Kelly
Bridesmaid
Picture this, it’s freshman year of college at SNHU. Back when no one knew Stephanie’s actual name and referred to her as “back brace girl.” That's when Nicole, with her outgoing personality, approached Stephanie and asked her for her real name. They quickly became the closest of friends and roommates throughout college. Since then, Nicole has been a one-of-a-kind friend who has been a constant source of love and laughter. Now, Nicole is an Enterprise Account Executive at Gartner. She is a world traveler with a pure soul and a hilarious sense of humor. Be on the lookout for her infectious laugh that can light up any room.
Giuseppe "Goose" De Spuches
Groomsman
Giuseppe, also known as "Goose" – another teammate who endured some "team building exercises." This time, however, the bonding involved a mutual exchange of punches. And that, surprisingly, was all it took to solidify this friendship. Garrett enjoys reminding Giuseppe that he bestowed the nickname "Goose" upon him, finding "Giuseppe" too cumbersome. In their college days, the two would make many impromptu road trips while playing ‘Doc Johnson’, a game they created, in Garrett’s college apartment. Despite living on a different continent, Garrett and Goose remain the closest of friends. These days, Guisepee is a Senior Consultant at Business Integration Partners. He remains the "Italian stallion," perhaps searching for his future "mare." Watch out ladies!
Danielle Phaneuf
Bridesmaid
Danielle and Stephanie first crossed paths as coworkers at Beacon ABA Services, where their connection grew through countless hours of deep conversations about life, family, and faith. In fact, they often found themselves having these meaningful chats while on the job and may have been frequently reminded to "stop chit-chatting." Despite taking different career paths, their friendship only grew stronger. Danielle is an incredible mother, wife, and a dedicated Board Certified Behavior Analyst at FBS. She is someone who always shows up for Stephanie and someone Stephanie truly looks up to. Danielle embodies strength, compassion, and dedication in everything she does, and her beautiful spirit serves as a daily inspiration to all who know her.
Evan Martin
Groomsman
E-Money, is Garrett’s favorite future brother-in-law! From the day they met, Evan has made things a bit challenging due to his die-hard commitment as a Celtics and 49ers fan. Last year, they were both so sure the Knicks would make the Eastern Conference Finals that they bought tickets to Game 1 in advance, anticipating a Knicks vs. Celtics showdown. When the Knicks didn't make it, Evan was a good sport and offered Garrett emotional support and a shoulder to cry on. On the bright side, it’s great that they’ve been able to find common ground in their mutual love for Acapulcos and, of course, Stephanie. Currently, Evan is a Customer Service Representative at F.W. Webb – should you have any HVAC and Plumbing needs, he’s your guy!
Paige Johnson
Bridesmaid

They have enjoyed family trips to Puerto Rico, Cape Cod, and Vermont together. Paige, a Long Island Queen, who loves Schitt's Creek, Darren Criss, and Snooki.

In addition to her unwavering enthusiasm, she is also a talented realtor at Keller Williams Gold Coast. As a matter of fact, she played a huge part in helping the couple find their first home!
