Friend- Tessa met Kevin at Grachur the summer after their freshman year of high school and were inseparable by Labor day. They bonded over their mutual love of theater, blasting showtunes while doing dishes, and giving snaps to nature. Although they had plans to marry at 35 if they were still single, Tessa is thrilled that they both found such wonderful men to share their lives with instead. She could not imagine a more perfect partner for Kevin than Jack and was so glad to be a part of their pod over the past few years. Tessa is looking forward to watching their lives together grow and to retiring to a shared mansion on the Gibson waterfront.

Jack's Sister - Kat and Jack have their own clothing line at target. 😉 They are siblings, oldest and youngest respectively. They share a love for swimming. Kat was Jack's summer swim coach and they coached together for a number of years. If you think about it, Jack owes all of his swimming success to Kat. He is godfather to the youngest of Kats four children Molly. Kat and Kevin currently talk more often than Kat and Jack. They share a love for all chatting about almost everything and most importantly a love for Jack.

Jack's Sister - Caroline and Jack are the 2 youngest of the Spader crew. Despite what Kat thinks about Jack’s swimming career, Caroline is the real reason for Jack’s swimming success. As the stat girl for the boys varsity swim team, she volunteered him for the 500 free his freshman year of high school. She told the coach, “it runs in the family”, which launched him into his awesome distance swimming career. Their friendship really took off when Caroline bribed Jack with driving her 6 hours back to college in exchange for letting him borrow her car for a few months. As part of the bribe, Jack stayed with Caroline for a week and it became lovingly known in Geneseo as Jack Week. After graduation, Jack spent lots of time with Caroline in Stamford where they frequented the bar scene and Alive@Fives and celebrated Stamford St. Patty’s days and halloween weekends together. Her leather couch will always have his imprint from the countless weekend sleepovers. Kevin and Jack were instrumental in helping make Caroline and Eamonn’s covid wedding perfect. They acted as set up crew, delivered the cake, DJ’ed, and Kevin mc’d. Caroline is so excited to now be a part of Jack and Kevin’s big day.

Friend - Besties in the iconic “tripod” with Kevin since college- Kevin’s dad often notes that he never thought Kevin would make a friend who talks MORE than Kevin. Thankfully, Michelle was able to fill the void! Kevin and Michelle were acquaintances until they went to EPCOT's Candlelight Processional on a school night. Kevin was so pleased to learn Michelle had a Disney annual pass. Their fates were sealed with Christmas and singing. Michelle knew that Jack was the one when Jack & Kevin came to Michelle’s pediatric cancer walk…Kevin had a kidney stone and fell asleep for 2 hours, while Michelle and Jack talked and watched funny YouTube videos. No “friend’s significant other” has snuck into Michelle’s heart as fast. Michelle is so grateful to be in the wedding party!!

Friend - Jack and Lauren met in 2006 at the wonderful and classy - Hommocks Pool. The summers of swimming on MSC together, spending more time laughing then lifeguarding, and always asking Kat for a “500 social kick” were the foundation of this lifelong friendship. As time went on they grew from avoiding workout sets to the important things in life - what kind of wine they would have and cute boys they had met. You can still find the two of them attempting the newest Tasty recipe that came out and Lauren not knowing how to portion control charcuterie.
Officiant
Friend - Stefany and Kevin have been friends since sophomore year of college. She is the soggy leg of the “Tripod” as it were. Thank goodness for Sleep, Dreams and Behavior late night “studying” that sealed their friendship. Now, 12 years and many misadventures later, their friendship continues to blossom. She can’t wait to share in this incredible day, and marry two souls who love each other so deeply.
