Kia & Bradford
Wedding Party
Sarah
Maid of Honor
Kia and Sarah have been sisters since preschool and also partners in crime on countless occasions. Family may recognize Sarah from camping trips, or from virtually any other event (they were inseparable growing up!) Today, though distance from Maine to New York City keeps the two of them a bit more separated than before, they still make sure to keep a healthy amount of shenanigans on the agenda whenever they’re together!
Kyle
Man of Honor
Kyle is Brad's selfless and loving older brother & best friend. Brad owes a lot of his success and character to Kyle, as he's intentionally and unintentionally taught him a lot of life lessons. Fun fact: Kyle (batter) once hit Brad (pitcher) directly in the face on back to back swings while playing wiffleball in their front yard as kids. (Yes, Brad was pissed)
Nikki
Bridesmaid
Nikki is Kia's cousin & best friend, who never fails to make any room light up. As kids, Nikki and Kia spent lots of time playing all kinds of games together, staying up late talking, and waking up early to read the funnies with Papa. Today, you can usually find her cracking a joke or a busting out a dance move. This party wouldn't be the same without her!
Gabe
Groomsman
Brad and Gabe (and his twin brother Josiah) quickly became friends in the 3rd grade after finding out that their neighborhoods were next to each other. They have remained best friends ever since and have started a few small businesses in their spare time. His natural humor and accidental clumsiness will always help keep the mood positive. Fun fact: Gabe and Brad both thrived when hitting the terrain park during their annual ski trip. By “thrive” I mean attempting to hit rails but falling directly on our faces.
Hailey
Bridesmaid
Hailey is a close friend of Kia's, who introduced Brad and Kia in 2013. Her adventurous and brave spirit is the only reason they found their way together! Today, you can find Hailey taking her adventures all around the world.
Nicky
Groomsman
Nicky and Brad's friendship was cemented during their 8th grade baseball season when they were throwing buddies. Now they work together at Wayfair and continue to compete together in flag football and basketball leagues. Go long - He can throw a mean spiral! Fun Fact: Nicky and Brad once filmed a short spoof movie trailer to the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack while canoeing on North Gorham Pond. Luckily it will not be coming to a theater near you.
Sam
Bridesmaid
Sam was Kia's first college friend. They met on the first day of classes freshman year, and have been great friends ever since. Sam is the queen of jokes and memes, and never fails to keep everyone around her smiling.
Matt
Groomsman
Matt "Aldy" was one of Brad's first friends. They were neighbors growing up and have been great buddies ever since. Catch him burning up the dance floor post-cocktail hour. Fun Fact: Matt and Brad once spent almost 2 straight weeks together during one of their middle school summers (Thanks for all the food, Mary Anne!).
Audrey
Bridesmaid
Audrey and Kia went to high school together, and they became close friends after reconnecting at UMaine. She's not only a fantastic friend, but also a stellar pickle ball player and dancing queen.
Sam
Groomsman
Sam was one of Brad's first college friends. They immediately bonded over Josh Groban and Phil Collins' top hits. If a high note needs to be heard, ask the DJ to play "You Raise Me Up" then sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Fun Fact: Sam has never beat Brad in a round of golf - just kidding, it's the other way around.
Brigitte
Bridesmaid
Brigitte is not only a dear friend of both Kia and Brad, but she also lives with them in their apartment downstairs! They've had countless good times being friends, roommates, and party planners. She’s also the best Auntie to Myla & Manny.
Brandon
Groomsman
Brandon is another great childhood friend of Brad, but their friendship really solidified in 6th grade when they wrote and performed a rap song for their class. Don't let his meteorologist expertise fool you, he can also dance up a storm. Fun Fact: Brandon (Saints fan) said on March 24, 2017 that Brady & the Patriots would never win #6. He was correct for less than 2 years. Go Pats!
Lucia
Bridesmaid
Lucia is Kia's sister from Spain! She came to Maine in Kia's junior year of high school to study at CEHS, and lived with Kia and her family for 10 months. Brad and Kia began dating during the second half of her time here in Maine, so Brad and Lucia became fast friends. Lucia and her family will be coming back to the states to celebrate with us, and we couldn't be more excited!
Andrew
Groomsman
Andrew and Brad met through Nicky during their sophomore year at UMaine. They quickly bonded over sports trivia and late night campus explorations and were roommates for their Junior and Senior year. Fun Fact: Andy once drank half a container of pasta sauce for $5 - talk about being on a "college budget"
