Kim & Chris
Wedding Party
Lauren Alofs
Matron of Honor
Lauren and Kim first met at freshman orientation at UNE. Even though Kim will never be able to be as organized and clean as Lauren, Lauren still agreed to be roommates with Kim for several years throughout undergrad. Lauren and Kim spent many fall preseasons together, Lauren played soccer and Kim ran cross country. Lauren always gave Kim reminders that soccer players are much stronger than runners. Lauren, Garret, Kim and Chris now enjoy going out in Portland together.
Sarah Troob
Bridesmaid
Sarah and Kim were roommates throughout undergrad at UNE. Sarah was always the mom of the group. Sarah took care of Kim in many ways from feeding her medicine when she was sick on the couch to writing her emails or giving her a ride even when Sarah had Grad school interviews the next morning. Sarah may be one of the reasons why we are to soon celebrate a wedding! Sarah, Eric, Kim and Chris enjoy spending winters together skiing at Sunday River.
Eric Troob
Groomsman
Eric and Chris met at UNE and grew their friendship through hundreds of ski trips to Sunday River, adding more every winter. Chris is always trying to beat Howie, Erics dad to the bottom! They also both share a passion for fishing, taking trips out on Eric's boat in Rhode Island.
Louise Mills-Strasser
Bridesmaid
Louise and Kim met during their Graduate studies at Adelphi University, this was not a love at first sight situation... Kim and Louise now have a long distance relationship. When Kim visits Louise on Long Island they enjoy exploring NYC and spending many hours on the beach. When Louise makes her yearly trip to Maine they run Beach to Beacon every year.
Don Deraska
Groomsman
Don and Chris met freshman year at UNE, becoming roommates throughout their remaining time at school. They both share a crazy passion for fishing, taking boat trips to a nearby lake in the pouring rain, or wading off the beaches in the ocean during 'the non-human hours' overnight. Don and Chris also shared nearly all classes at UNE as well, making for easy homework completion, and good laughs once test scores were handed back.
Dana McCoy
Bridesmaid
Dana and Kim first met at run club and enjoy going for runs together. Dana and Kim enjoy going out in Portland to the local Breweries especially after runs. Dana also spends time with Bear when Kim and Chris are out of town and he believes he has three parents now. Occasionally Kim tries her best to keep up with Dana on hikes.
Timothy Devine
Groomsman
Tim and Chris met freshman year at UNE as dorm room neighbors and Tim immediately felt like a brother. Tim's 'life of the party' presence makes for a fun time, not to mention his incredible dance moves after a few adult beverages (coming to a wedding near you). Chris' mom, Candy often considers Tim with one of her own.
