Maddy & Chris
Wedding Party
Kristen Joyce
Matron of Honor
Kristen is my amazing older sister whom I have known since birth, believe it or not. I definitely could not plan a wedding, let alone live my life, without her help. She is the most organized, proactive and thoughtful Matron of Honor ever...ALL WHILE being pregnant. Speaking of, her little baby on the way will also play an essential role in making sure everything is running smoothly and according to plan. **EDIT: Since the postponement, little Ellie Rose has entered our lives! I'm so excited for my adorable little niece to be one of our flower girls :)
Maggie O'Connell
Bridesmaid
Maggie is my best friend since high school. Although we've known each other since first grade, we became actual friends sophomore year in our Peer Mediation homeroom (thank you Mom for making me interview for that program). We clicked instantaneously and were attached at the hip after our first time hanging out. She is beyond hilarious and creative, and 100% without a doubt always there when I need her.
Leah Davey
Bridesmaid
Leah is my best friend since high school. Like Maggie, we also became friends through Peer Mediation, which is making us seem like very involved and philanthropic people (which we obviously are). Leah went on to become a Blue Hen as well, and our amazing group of friends continued to grow from there. Leah has the most infectious energy in the world, and is loyal to the core. I was by her side as she walked down the aisle, and I couldn't imagine her not being by mine.
Emily Kitching
Bridesmaid
Emily (Kitch) is my best friend since college. I didn't know her until sophomore year, when we both rushed Chi Omega. We clicked immediately at a roller skating rink just off campus for a Chi O event, when we had a bit going as we were renting skates. The discovery of our similar humor led to us becoming best friends. Not only is Kitch absolutely hilarious, but she's one of the greatest friends you could ask for. And she's not just my bridesmaid...she is my sister (lol).
Kaela Jeffers
Bridesmaid
Kaela is my best friend since freshman year of college. She lived diagonally across from me in the dorms, so naturally we started hanging out. I remember us joking about our freshman year required reading book as I was helping her put a poster up on her wall (good friend, much?) and I knew we were going to be best friends right then and there. Kaela and I never stop cracking up when we're together - she is so funny, incredibly smart, and such an amazing friend.
Kendall Larkin
Bridesmaid
Kendall is my best friend since college. We were friends right away freshman year because she also lived in my dorm building, but our friendship really grew when we both rushed sororities for the first time sophomore year. We were put in the same group (LAR...best way to start a last name) and spent every waking moment together for weeks. We didn't chose the same sorority, but from that point I knew I had a lifelong friend. Kendall is the goofiest, most sincere and kindhearted friend on the planet.
Eddie Coyne
Best Man
I'm only reciprocating because I agreed to be his.
Cormac Walsh
Groom
He's Irish, and I spent a year in Ireland. Have I mentioned that?
Jeff La Rosa
Groom
He originally said no, but his sister forced him to say yes. She's good at that.
Chris Florio
Groom
Facebook June 2009: "Yoooo CFlo, I just decided to go to St Joes it's gonna be sick. We should hang out when we get there."
CJ McNamara
Groom
He was the only other freshman I knew with a fake id.
Sam McCormick
Groom
I had heard there was an incoming freshman point guard from Harlem who was going to take my spot. I befriended him for that reason alone... keep your enemies close.
Matt Safko
Groom
4 years as roommates in NYC with Matt took 4 years off my life.
Greg Kelly
Groom
We sat next to each-other everyday for three years, had a makeshift shuffleboard between our desks and swindled the company to send us to Miami together multiple times.
