Kelley & Rich
Wedding Party
Sara Thompson
Maid of Honor
Some say "Good things come in small packages", when it comes to my younger sister and Maid of Honor, Sara, "Absolutely amazing things come in small package" is more like it. She is a 5' 0" ball of laughs, beauty, style, determination, a tad bit gangster and a touch of OCD all rolled into one adorable package. Don't let her size fool you, she is the champion of all yard games EVER and she'll prove it. Sisters by chance, besties by choice :)
Mike Cammarata
Best Man
Mike is one of my oldest and closest friends - after all we met in 1st grade. From the countless hours of floor hockey tournaments in the kitchen (usually when Mrs. Cammarata was trying to cook), to living 3,000 miles apart, our friendship has remained a true constant. My guess is it's the mutual flare and optimism for this crazy thing we call life!
Elle Smith
Bridesmaid
Elle, my original Partner in Crime. We met when we were 5, our names rhymed, we became best friends. From cape cod summers, DMB concerts, island and city adventures to west coast livin' Elle and I have been through it all. She is a perfect combination of hippie jewelry maker and LA fashionista.... Tip for the weekend, find Elle if you need: to get up to speed on the latest health craze, are cold (she'll have extra layers), need a snack, need chapstix or if you need a ringer for a game of capture the flag.
Ricky Spriano
Groomsman
Ricky, like Mike, is one of my oldest and closest friends. In our 20+ years of friendship Ricky has always been incredibly loyal and honest throughout. Whether it was family vacations, high-school concerts or going to college together, Ricky just makes life more fun. For those meeting Ricky for the first time, you should know his outlook and literal approach to life stems from the movie, The Lion King (not kidding). Hakuna-Matada!
Caroline Schou
Bridesmaid
Schou!! Also know as Caroline, my Tabor roomy and one of the most energizing people in the world. Newsies and Remember the Titans played in our room on repeat, when we weren't studying of course. I could not imaging having gone through Tabor without Caroline and all the adventures that went along with having her as a best friend. If you need to learn the banana dance or how to shred some nar, you are in luck. She trades dance and ski lessons for white wine so just keep the buttery chard flowing. #letitflow #ICFIGIN #SENDIT
Nick Poulos
Groomsman
Nick and I first met at Providence College. While laid back, Nick is one of the funnier people I'm lucky enough to call a close friend. If you're ever in need of a ringer for golf or hockey - give Nick a call.
Lexi Rifaat
Bridesmaid
Lexi and I met on our first day at Trinity College, we were like PB&J for the next 4 years. Don't let the blonde hair fool you, this girl is wicked smaaat. 4 years clearly wasn't enough, so we lived and adventured in SF for another 3 years post college. She was there the first night Rich and I met, if she wasn't such an amazing wing-woman who knows if this wedding would be happening! These days, when she isn't traveling the world, you can find her creating amazing sketches and tasting craft beer in Bend, OR.
Zack Torman
Groomsman
Is it weird I flinch every time I remember this guy is in the wedding party? Simply put, Zack is the friend you'd classify as "never a dull moment". While always on the go he always makes time for friends and occasionally is honest when it comes to golf or darts.
Lauren Peck
Bridesmaid
Cheers to the girls in Smith 201...Lauren and I were roomies for 3 magical years at Trin Coll. Originally from Boston, but a west coast girl at heart, this beautiful lady now lives, yogies and brings hope in the form of wine to people around the world form sunny LA. She has a Namaste vibe most of the time but when the PATS are on watch out, you can take the girl out of New England but you can't take the New England out of the girl.
Craig Barrett
Groomsman
Craig, aka the Sheriff, aka the Condor, aka Twinkle Toes - has been a near and dear friend since Providence College. Historically speaking, Craig has been known as a lightning-rod for disaster, yet always seems to take things in stride and put a smile on his face.
Kahlynn Huck
Bridesmaid
This collegiate gymnastics star, hailing from Wisconsin escaped to the much better weather of San Francisco where we met working at Betts Recruiting. We instantly bonded over football, Tahoe, beer and surfing. When she is not bumping deep house in the club, you can find her networking with all of the tech companies in San Francisco. Kahlynn was there from the very beginning of my relationship with Rich, basically she helped me "play it cool" in the early days, so thanks for that :)
Mike Rusconi
Groomsman
Mike "Stonie" Rusconi is many things - here are just a few worth mentioning. 1. 80s hair-band enthusiast 2. Defender of Massachusetts finest citizens 3. Bizarrely good at all bar room sports games 4. Animal lover (Mike is VERY allergic to dogs however, that didn't stop him from getting one. Instead, Mike makes the sacrifice of getting a weekly shot so he and Nanook can stay best buds).
Sara McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Same last name, not technically related, but we might as well be. Sara was the only other girl on the boys baseball team so growing up and is one of the most genuine, loyal people you will ever have the pleasure of meeting. She is my go to golf partner, not only can she drive for show, but she can also putt for dough. In her spare time she enjoys moving across the country, has done it 3 times in the last 1.5 years. When you meet her, tell her to make it 4 and get back here to the east coast! ;)
Steve McCarthy
Groomsman
Steve, Kelley's old brother is the one I should probably thank for Kelley playing hockey, something we bonded over the first time we met. I have gotten to know Steve more since we have moved back to MA and it's easy to see that he has always been a great older brother to Kelley and all of his siblings. I'm looking forward to bonding more over the years to come but one thing I have learned quickly is, If you want to talk Boston sports, especially Bruins, Steve is your guy.
Skye McCarthy
Bridesmaid
Skye, aka Skyze, may be taller than me these days but she will always be my little sis. Even though we are further apart in age than typical sisters that hasn't stopped us from growing and staying close. From burger dates at Red Robin to hours of wii bowling and just dance completions, it is always a fun time when we get together. I've recently learned she is clutch in a game of darts but pictionary is not her strong suit ;) Her instagram filtering abilities are unmatched so if you need some help with your social media posts over the wedding weekend you are in luck, just find Skye.
Leavenworth "Levy"
The Best Dog
Leavenworth, "Levy" for short, named after the street we lived on in San Francisco (not the prison) is our handsome pup. He loves a good game of chase the rock, playing in the snow and long walks on the beach. He gives great high-fives and lots of kisses. We are so thankful he came in to our lives and he will be there all weekend to celebrate with us and provide "emotional support" for all :)
