Wedding Party
Corey
Best Man
The best man and my twin brother. He won’t apologize for who he is, he just won’t do it.
Linds
Maid of Honor
Linds has been my girl since age 3 (the Joyful Noise Preschool days). It takes a special person to be able to put up with my antics for 26+ years, and I suppose this shouldn’t be much of a surprise as Linds is a one-of-a-kind person who cares SO much about her friends and family. Linds is my walking memory, my adventure buddy, my reminder to get my nose out of textbooks, and my incredible roommate of my early adult years. She is the one who brought Craig and I together, so it truly was a no-brainer that she would be forced to be my Maid of Honor.
Camerooni
Groomsman
Old MacDonald. If you know him, you know. My younger brother and star of the show.
Maria
Matron of Honor
Also from Day 1 (as in my day of birth). Maria may not have always been in the picture by choice (sorry for being an annoying brat as a kid), but now she is a friend in my adult life (by choice, of course). Maria and I share a sisterhood bond of similar humor and a maniacal laugh to go with it. She has given me four adorable nieces and nephews. Shoutout to Steve since the kiddos I love so much wouldn’t be here without him, too!
Trevor
Groomsman
We liked being neighbors so much as a kid that we decided to run it back.
Miss Banana
Chief Bridesmaid
Miss Banana (aka Hannah) was brought into my life because she was forced to sit next to me in the office at work. The new girl I awkwardly never said hello to turned out to be one of my best friends instantly. I convinced her to come live next door to Craig and I in 2020 which in turn formed the Inner Circle (aka our little quarantine crew that would go for walks after work every night). Maybe one of these days we’ll finish some of those movies we could never finish because we always have too much to talk about (or maybe we’ll just stick to crafting and drinking wine).
Sam
Officiant
We made the mistake of running our first marathon together 9 years ago and now we can't stop.
Cassandra
Bridesmaid
Cassandra is another friend from childhood who managed to stay along for the ride during my very energetic younger years. Someone who would let me steal all of her dresses in high school, take me out for ice cream, and someone who would even let me annoy the crap out of her now husband (not that she had much of a choice; Sorry, Tanner). So glad that we have remained close through all these years to go on hikes, hang out in your beautiful house, and go out to brunch!
Gio
Groomsman
GioGioFoFio, they call us the Bond Brothers.
Tay
Bridesmaid
Tay and I were random roommates freshman year of college. While our friendship started then, I would say that it truly blossomed in our adult years (especially once she moved in down the street). As neighbors, we had so many fun nights dancing around the apartment (cue That’s My Girl) and going to Murphy’s in downtown Manchester. Tay managed to get me to sit still long enough to watch a whole TV series, and her and Craig first bonded over this experience. We are no longer neighbors, but I’m sure Tay misses those long walks of me gushing about the new boy I’d met (Craig, in case that was unclear). We keep in touch through epic game nights, going golfing, and hanging at Disney/Universal Studios. Shoutout to fiancé Chris for getting us into strategy games and for getting Tay to Florida!
Vinny
Groomsman
Vinny is always there to help me speculate on where the MCU is headed next.
Olive
Bridesmaid
Olivia and I were also random roommates freshman year of college. Friendship bloomed immediately over a mutual love of going for long runs, learning languages, eating big salads with ALL the things, doing Zumba, and being nerdy honors kids. Olivia is the girl who is always down for just about anything: whether it be going for a long walk in the woods, making grilled pizza with yummy drinks, going cross country skiing, or dancing at a bar in homemade matching outfits/costumes (see example photo above). Forever thankful that fate brought me my friend soulmate!
Evan
Groomsman
The OG dime. If I ever needed a cheeseburger in paradise, Evan would go to Margaritaville with me.
Emma
Bridesmaid
Emma was brought into my life through Craig and her (now) husband Sam. I instantly clicked with this girl as she is someone who truly “gets” me; my fellow lover of vegetables, “soft” seltzer, alone time studying, and working out. Emma and Sam are crazy and run marathons with Craig, so naturally they have become Craig and my favorite travel buddies. From long-distance travels to Germany and Poland to sleeping in tents and climbing up mountains around North Conway, they are always down to adventure with us. Emma is the most competitive person I know, and I am looking forward to watching her beat Sam and Craig at their next marathon in some other region of the world!
Devin
Groomsman
Reigning champ of the ignoramus Invitational. One day his handicap will drop below 28, but it will not be this day.
Sistah
Bridesmaid
Sistah (aka Rachel) also came into my life through Craig and her (now) husband Corey. I am so thankful that Rachel came into my life, as she is someone who is eager to make plans, is always down for good food and drinks, and is always on top of things (shoutout to finding out about the condos on Airbnb at Cranmore). I appreciate our friendship and the fact that she can relate to me more than most people due to the fact that we are basically married to/marrying the same person. Apologies in advance for anyone who confuses Craig and Corey at our wedding!
Zak
Groomsman
L and I would never have met if I didn't move in with Zak. No one runs 8 miles and then walks 18 like him.
Simone
Bridesmaid
Simone - you’ll never guess - also came into my life through Craig and her (now) husband Trevor. Simone and Trevor moved in down the street from us, and I couldn’t be happier that they did. Simone is someone who is always willing to listen to me and validate me. She is also always down for ice cream and agrees that there is no issue with it being consumed before dinner (thank you). Her and Trevor are also very good at making me get out of my house to stop being a recluse. I am excited to raise our children in Windham here together; we’ll certainly be the coolest moms in town (LOL).
Kai
Junior Bridesman
The bride's nephew! Will gladly talk your ear off about animals, video games and Pokémon. Ask him about Derpy!
Mei Mei
Junior Bridesmaid
The bride's oldest niece! Although she's been calling the groom "Uncle Craig" for years now, she's excited that we're making it official.
Gemma
Flower Girl
The bride's mini-me niece! Always down for dessert and she runs cross country, too! Here she is with the groom on Cranmore for her birthday outing!
Yezzi
Flower Girl
The bride's youngest niece! She's always down for some fun, like baking cookies and jamming to some tunes!
Nymeria
Kitty of Honor
While she'll be celebrating us at home by the automatic feeder, we know she's excited for us, too.
Ghost
Best Cat
Likely moving his toys from one room in the house to another while we wed, Ghost is wishing he could be part of the action on the summit.
