Wedding Party

Sara Phommavongxay Harris

Maid of Honor

This is the woman who shaved my head during chemotherapy, while eating a cheese burger with her other hand. She’s made me feel beautiful and loved, when I lost my health and my hair. And held my hand through all the scary bits and advocated for me when I was too overwhelmed to speak. For every major moment of my life, she was the first person to show up and the last to leave. She’s the Frankie to my Grace. My sister, best friend and hero. She’s also the one that basically planned this whole wedding for me. So please give her ALL the thanks when you see her.

Shannon Ryan

Bridesmaid

Anthony and I wouldn’t have ever been together if it weren’t for Shannon. As college roommates, we did a lot of growing up together. She was there to heal me from the worst breakups of my life with her contagious laugh and late night trips to Target, where we would raid the junk food aisle so that we could pig out in our dorm room. Amherst will always be our place ❤️

Kevin Corbin

Bridesman

I’ll never forget the all-nighter study sessions in the library, where he would disappear, only to find him crawling on the floor, grabbing my legs under the table just to give me a good scare. He would sometimes walk me back to my dorm just to embarrass me in the elevator and fart in my room before taking off. Here’s the guy that always puts a smile on my face and brings me out of my shell. He’s made my years in Amherst some of the best years of my life.

Lauren Corona

Bridesmaid

When you live with three male roommates and have to smell the mystery soup that hasn’t been refrigerated in days, Lauren is a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t have survived Quail Street without her. Even though she’s a few years younger than me, she’s someone that really look up to and I will always wonder where all her strength and positivity comes from.

Teagan Petersen

Bridesmaid

The best future sister-in-law I could ask for! I love this girl’s energy and honesty. She’s the only other person that can put Anthony in his place when he gets sassy and that’s the kind of person I’ll need if I plan on marrying him lol. I am honored to have a strong and beautiful girl like Teagan by my side on my big day.

Justin Golden

Best Man

As far as best friends go, he is clevier than most. But, will he be nice to you? No Promises! What to actually say about Justin? This man bullied me in 8th grade, left our school and came back a year later. The day he realized all his old friends had moved on and all he had left was the twitchy, thoroughly loud and annoying ADHD kid that he used to bully must have been a terrible one indeed. Since the day he asked me over to play rock band (That moment you paused "Live Forever" still haunts me to this day), we've been inseparable. Justin and I went through high school and college as those two dudes that you never found separate from one another, those guys that you could never really tell whether they really were that great of friends, or whether something ELSE was afoot. Whether it was making each other cry from laughter about "Justice Salami" in European Politics, or nearly coming to blows over a game of Wist, Justin and I have been through every extreme a platonic male friendship is capable of. We have changed as people so much since 8th grade, and yet, our friendship has never changed. I never could have gotten through my worst times in life without Justin by my side, and I'm so happy to call him my best man at my wedding, because he really, truly, just is.

Higor Resende

Groomsman

Big of bone, yet Bigger of Heart You have not known true fear until you have heard this man fart Higor is one of my oldest friends, hearkening back to second grade Christmas break when we met in the park and built snowmen together until our hands were numb. The following years were filled with literally hundreds of sleepovers, hundreds of hours of Mario Kart: DoubleDash, and hundred of times where I broke something or did something wrong in his house, and his parents blamed him for it. Sorry, man! You should just try being more charming next time!

Benjamin Becker

Groomsman

Despite the beard on his neck, This man rolled a nat 20 on a handsomeness check Ben is one of those guys you just meet and instantly feel like you've been friends with him for life. This guy is funny, charming, and the best Dungeon Master a guy could ask for. When we met 3 or 4 years ago,while I was deep in the mire and misery of law school, Ben taught me to play DnD and DMed for my first campaign, leading a group that I could only describe as utterly moronic. Ben is criminally underrated as a writer and a content creator, and I couldn't be more grateful that he stuck things out with us philistines to finish our campaign and, even more incredibly,decided to stay friends with us after.

Matthew Cardona

Groomsman

A quasi-autistic psychopath who somehow got actual Top-Secret Government Security Clearance and spends his days analyzing satellite images of his neighbors' backyards to see if they are enemies of the state. Or whatever. I actually have no idea what this guy does, I just know: Do NOT cross this man. He is also one of my oldest, kindest, and certainly most forgiving friends. Matt and I have seen each other through quite a few hard times, and, with his new wife Alyaa, a better man could not have made a better life. Also made that one joke a million years ago that my dad WILL NOT shut up about. SMASH! SMASH!

Devlin Petersen

Groomsman

The ONLY person who plays Fortnite that is allowed at MY wedding. Seriously, I couldn't ask for a better brother, and Devlin's herculean effort to try to keep me connected to the young man's world does not go unnoticed!

Michael Novelli

Groomsman

Just an all-around great guy. Funny, handsome, and only the SECOND worst prosecutor in Addison County History! Truly a great friend, rapidly made in the fiery crucible of the Addison County SAS. Without Mike's support, advice, and instruction, there is no way I could have made it through my first year as a lawyer. He also somehow has a more depraved sense of humor than myself! (terrifying)

Tobias Bamrick

Flower Boy

Pinkalicious Bamrick

Flower Girl
