Wedding Party
Stephanie Hart
Matron of Honor
Steph has been Kate's longest and dearest friend, and life feels easier with her by my side. Her determination and unwavering support makes Steph an incredible friend, and Kate has witnessed her pour that same love and strength into her new role as a mom. Just a few months ago, Steph welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world!
Michael Christman
Best Man
Michael is the older brother of the groom. There was a time when he was practicing the latest moves out of the WWE on Joe and Sam, but now he'll be practicing his ceremonial duties as our best man and officiant!
Traci Lipka
Bridesmaid
Traci, Kate's closest cousin, has always been someone Kate looked up to growing up, and their close bond has only grown stronger over the years. Not only is Traci the loving mom to their two precious flower girls, but she’s also been an incredible support throughout the wedding planning process. With their striking resemblance, many people often mistake them for sisters!
Samuel Christman
Best Man
Sam is the younger brother of the groom, and this day would not be the same without Sam standing by Joe's side...even if it means that Joe has to let Sam win on the golf course for the next decade (or forever, depending on who’s asking), he’s more than willing to make that sacrifice for such an important role.
Elizabeth Christman
Bridesmaid
Elizabeth may be Joe's sister, but to Kate, she’s always felt like a sister too. Having been Joe’s significant other since Elizabeth was 13, the two have had the privilege of being a part of each other’s lives through many milestones—having the same high school soccer coach, welcoming the first Great Dane into the family, graduating from college and moving from their small hometown.
Christopher DeMarey
Groomsman
Chris, the bride's brother, has truly become like a third brother to the groom. Over the years, Joe and Chris have formed a strong bond through shared adventures, whether navigating the Alaskan wilderness or learning to put up with Chris's sister—because that’s an adventure all its own!
Caroline Entwistle
Bridesmaid
One of the best things Quinnipiac did was assign Caroline and Kate as freshman-year roommates. Caroline seriously is the ying to Kate's yang - both being type A planners but always down for an adventure. One of Kate’s favorite memories with Caroline was when she called and said, “Pack your bags, we’re going somewhere,” and two weeks later, Kate found herself on a spur-of-the-moment road trip through Iceland.
Nicholas Beauchamp
Groomsman
Nick, one of Joe's oldest friends, has been by his side since they grew up just a five-minute walk from each other. They've evolved from neighborhood pranksters to taking five-hour flights for their annual reunions. Nowadays, Joe makes the journey to Lake Tahoe to visit Nick—mostly to ensure he’s not just spending all his time on the slopes or lounging by the lake!
Rachel Marino
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Kate met while living together in Italy, and since then, Rachel has been the most thoughtful, fun, and loyal friend. As a true Italian, her cooking is unmatched, and her love for her grandparents mirrors the bond Kate and Joe share with theirs. Rachel is now finishing up med school to fulfill her lifelong dream to be a doctor!
Mario Karam
Groomsman
Mario is one of Joe's closest cousins. Growing up together, they spent quite a bit of time catching whatever they could get their hands on by the ponds. They may or may not have also spent their childhood terrorizing their mothers for a laugh. In any case, Mario will be making the trek from Texas and trading his cowboy boots for a shiny pair of loafers on June 20th.
Halle Nagle
Bridesmaid
Halle and Kate grew up in neighboring hometowns but didn’t meet until moving into the same dorm room freshman year of college. With her warm and welcoming nature, Halle quickly became a close friend. She keeps a paddle board in her trunk to take full advantage of the Massachusetts coast, has a knack for creating the perfect playlist, and can cook some mean steak tips!
Chase Beauchamp
Groomsman
Chase is not only the brother of fellow groomsman Nick Beauchamp, but he’s also one of Joe’s childhood friends. The two bonded over playing on the same lacrosse team, where Chase was always the sensible, level-headed one—basically the team’s designated adult as a freshman. He’ll be on standby with a tissue (or maybe a whole box) for Sam as he tries to keep it together while sending his big brother off.
