Wedding Party
Carilee Integlia
Matron of Honor
Derek doesn't like when she says this, but Carilee is Ashley's *soulmate.* Dance brought them together in 8th grade and they've been inseparable ever since. They work together as the best teacher/clinician duo the world has ever seen and still somehow find things to constantly text each other about. Carilee has been right by Ashley's side through the highest highs and the lowest lows, so it only makes sense that she's right by her side on her wedding day!
Colby Cyrus
Best Man
Well Derek has been stuck with this guy for pretty much his whole life. They've been through it all together seeing as he is my brother. It wouldn't be a day spent with Colby if it didn't consist of some competition, laughter, difficulty saying every day common words, and fat jokes directed at me. At this point, Derek wouldn't have it any other way.
Chad Nadeau
Groomsman
Big. Bad. Chad. One of the Twins and one of Derek's oldest Friends. An expert at throwing heavy objects including the opposition on the football field. Fond of a Jager Bomb.
Nikki Constantine
Matron of Honor
Nikki and Ashley met in college and became fast besties. It started as them planning their class schedule together and fighting through the elements in skirts to get to Blarney's and now they have craft days and day dates to Target and Chili's. Nikki is the most supportive, kind-hearted friend you could ask for and Ashley could not picture her special day without Nikki by her side (checklist in hand!).
Maggie Gibeault
Bridesmaid
Maggie is perfect bridesmaid material because she is down for whatever you throw at her. Road trip buddy? Comedy show attendee? Strawberry picking in the rain? Intense Trader Joe's trip? The girl does it all. When Ashley met Maggie in high school, she knew she was going to want to keep her around for a long, long time. Catch Maggie on the wedding day gracing the dance floor with her amazing dance moves!
Aaron Nadeau
Groomsman
A-A-RON! Also one of Derek's oldest Friends. In typical twin fashion we could say many of the same things about Aaron that we did about Chad. However Aaron was part of the better side of the offensive line with yours truly. There's a reason coach always ran to the the right side. Also fond of Jager Bombs.
Beau Dugas
Groomsman
Mr. PHS! One of Derek's oldest Friends. Beau is infamously known as Mr. PHS, being the only winner of all male pageant held during our high school years. Hard to believe considering Beau at one point chose to have a dyed red mullet as his every day hair. Beau was also a Football captain with Derek and part of the strong side of the line.
Claire Coley
Bridesmaid
Claire is one of the funniest, wittiest and caring people Ashley has ever met. Ashley and Claire met working together at EASTCONN, where Ashley introduced herself to Claire in the most cringy way possible. After many wine tastings and mall dates, their friendship was pretty much cemented in stone. Catch Ashley and Claire on the wedding day having an ANTM-style photo shoot where they are imagining being women eating salads while browsing Home Goods for their best deals.
Amber Schmitt
Bridesmaid
Amber is Ashley's oldest friend in this bridesmaid group (and she deserves a round of applause for that!) Amber is one of the fiercest, most loyal people Ashley has ever met and she will do anything for the people that she loves. Amber is the group's medical advisor and is always there for anything that anyone may need. You won't be able to miss Amber on the day of the wedding because she will be rocking some sort of sparkles to set her apart, and we love her for it!
Matt Rioux
Groomsman
Sweet Red, Three-O. There's another nickname that I can't say for political correctness reasons. Derek's friend since middle school and also college dormmate. Hidden talent: wiffleball pitching. Enjoys the Dr. (peppermint)
Seth Auger
Groomsman
Juice-Man! Derek's friend since middle school. Football Captain with Derek and a State Champ pole vaulter. You're always in for a good time when hanging out with Seth. Prefers cheap whiskey (won't pass on good whiskey though).
Catharine Mulligan
Bridesmaid
Ashley and Caty(dancer) have been friends since high school - when Ashley was the bad influence senior getting innocent sophomore Caty into trouble with her. Sleepovers, pool days and trips to Sweet Ev's have morphed into beach days and getting kidnapped for a day at the vineyard as they've gotten older (with Amber for the assist). Caty is kind and loyal to a fault and Ashley is so lucky to have her by her side on her wedding day, making sure everything is running according to plan!
Lauren Grasser
Bridesmaid
Lauren and Ashley were just meant to be besties, and what a bummer that they didn't link up until later in life (honestly the world might not have been able to handle them as teenagers together). Lauren is always down for a spontaneous adventure - whether it's a pretzel excursion, margarita night or Jessica Tuesday's date, as long as we can blast some old school emo car jams on the way there. Lauren is sweet, kind and has the most infectious laugh around. She is always there to support you in any aspect so she is the perfect bridesmaid to have on Ashley's special day!
Nick Kowalchuk
Groomsman
Future brother-in-law and fellow WWE lover. Both Derek and Nick love to enjoy a nice IPA and push Ashley's buttons whenever possible. Nick is always good for a Stone Cold reference and some sports banter.
Emma & Bella Integlia
Bridesmaid
The two best junior bridesmaids that Auntie Ashley could ask for! These two not-so-little girls were no brainers as additions to the bridal party. Emma and Bella will bring the silly, goofy, trouble-making energy that is much needed on the wedding day. These two girls are so important to Ashley and she couldn't fully enjoy the day without them by her side.
Gabby Integlia
Flower Girl
The cutest flower girl the world has ever seen! Gabby is Ashley's goddaughter, and Ashley knows she will be sassy-strutting down the aisle. This little condiment princess brings the exact type of vibes that this wedding will need!
