Kyla & Michael
Wedding Party
Jenn Zastrow
Maid of Honor
I met Jenn my freshman year at Southern New Hampshire University, and luckily we became inseparable roommates sophomore and junior year. Time has certainly passed, but it hasn't changed who we are. We're still the silly, rambunctious ladies from Hampton 202 who quote Family Guy non-stop, rap Kanye West, and keep each other entertained with our nonsense. Choosing Jenn as my Maid of Honor was a no-brainer; other than being my go-to source for endless fits of laughter, she's the person who I've leaned on countlessly whether I was going through a tough time or needed advice. I couldn't be more grateful to have a Maid of Honor as devoted, caring, and full of life as Jenn.
Courtney Carey
Bridesmaid
Courtney has been one of my longest friends. While we attended the same high school, we would only see each other sporadically. Right before graduating high school, we realized we'd be attending Southern New Hampshire University together and instantly became close! In our decade of friendship, we've been through it all. From the good ol' days in our awesome pod to attempting to open bottles of wine with a steak knife to fun nights out, and bonding over our new puppies, our friendship is an endless timeline of great memories. Whenever I've needed her, she's been there; through all the great times, the sad and the bad.
Jen Matthews
Bridesmaid
When I met Mike, he told me that I had to pass his sister's test before being accepted. While I was nervous, I was lucky that he had a sister like Jenny who made me feel accepted almost immediately. From the beginning, Jenny was naturally sweet and easy to share a laugh with, whether it's over our inability to grill food without creating an inferno, anything related to Summer Heights High School, or laughing at Mike's expense. I'm fortunate that I have someone as supportive and easy to talk to as Jenny to be my new older sister. She is a wonderful mom to our nephew Jack, beautifully compassionate about her family and friends.
Cassie Bobola
Bridesmaid
When I met Mike, he told me that it wasn't his parents weren't the ones I had to impress but his sisters, especially Cassie. Naturally, I was very nervous the first night I met her, considering it was Bobola game night, and we were on a team. If you know the Bobolas, they don't like to lose. Despite me not putting on my best Pictionary performance, Cassie and I got along very quickly. I've never had an older sister, but luckily I'm gaining two. Cassie has a big, caring heart and a natural ability to make you laugh hysterically. I've never felt shy going to her when I needed advice or looking to rag on the latest Great British Bakeoff contestants.
Monica Ramey
Bridesmaid
A few years ago, Jenn introduced me to Monica, and life has never been the same. Needless to say, we instantly became friends and some of my favorite memories are thanks to her. We've shared side-splitting laughs at the North Garden, created interesting birthday traditions, and jammed out to every 90's song imaginable. Fate would so have it that she also introduced me to my future husband. On top of her being the life of the party, she is a fiercely caring person devoted to her family and friends and is devoted to making a difference in the mental health community.
Liz Thompson
Bridesmaid
If 'friends at first sight' is a thing, it perfectly describes my friendship with Liz. A few weeks after Mike and I started seeing each other, he brought me over to Pokemon night to introduce me to his friend Andy and his wife, Liz. Within five minutes of arriving, I had to make a quick trip to the store with Liz, and not a second went by where we weren't talking. From AR workshop nights in Manch, perusing through Homegoods, or enjoying new, craft cocktails, there's never a dull moment between us. On top of being a wonderful mother and wife, she's such a kind-hearted person to everyone she meets.
Andrew Thompson
Best Man
Andy has been one of my closest friends after first meeting in high school. We were also roommates throughout college (which I'm sure some memories will resurface in his best man speech). Since then, I've had the privilege of becoming the Godfather to his son, James.
Christian Bonadio
Groomsman
Christian is one of my oldest friends. We first met in Kindergarten at Saint Thomas Aquinas, and our friendship has spanned two decades and still counting even with 2,000 miles between us.
Carson Natali
Groomsman
Carson is Kyla's younger brother, and we instantly bonded over Jurassic Park, the Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones. I couldn't be more excited to have Carson as my future younger brother.
Adam LaMonica
Groomsman
While I've known Adam since high school, we became close friends in college after discovering how much we love wrestling and comic books. We've shared plenty of laughs, and I'm happy to have a friend like Adam be a part of the big day.
Joseph Kane
Groomsman
Joe has been a part of the Bobola family for years, so he's definitely more than a Brother-in-Law. While we've enjoyed many things together, we made a tradition out of Black Friday shopping and attending the St. Patricks Day Parade in Boston. I'm grateful for Joe to stand by me on our day, just as I stood by for my sister Cassie's wedding.
Josh Matthews
Groomsman
Even before marrying my sister Jen, Josh and I had become close. Josh is loyal and a great husband and father. From Rick Astley concerts to lake trips to Halloween parties, he has a knack for inciting big laughs. I couldn't be happier to have him by my side for our day, as I was for his.
Anthony Krusen
Groomsman
I met Anthony while working at Easter Seals in Manchester. I then moved in with him and his now-wife Erika, where we shared plenty of great memories from wrestling to playing video games to standing beside him on his wedding day.
