Wedding Party

Kristen Kravecs

Matron of Honor

Kelly's sister and best friend. Their journey to friendship was not always the smoothest and took quite some time to develop (like 18 years...), but now they rely on each other to feel complete. Their love of reality TV, naps, and nom noms are cornerstones of their sisterhood. “When it hurts to look back and you’re afraid to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.” — Unknown

Colton Kelly

Best Man

Kelly and Gabe met during their PhDs at UConn. With a love a wine, puppers, and good hugs, they became fast friends.

Alicia Lacy

Bridesmaid

Alicia and Kelly met during their PhDs at UConn and bonded through their long work hours and love for Athletic Training and Education.

Jay Lozada

Groomsman

These two were fast friends on the Fire Department. Besides serving as Nick's COVID barber, Jay and Nick share a love of graphic design and raising chaotic children.
