Lilianna & Brendan
Wedding Party
Lilianna Di Gesu
Bride
Brendan McCarron
Groom
Elizabeth Di Gesu
Mother of the Bride
My mom is my best friend and the only person in the tri state area who has owned multiple three-legged cats. I believe I inherited the crazy cat lady gene from her.
Catherine McCarron
Mother of the Groom
Thomas and Catherine McCarron have been married for 25 years, marrying at the Catholic Chapel at West Point when Thomas was a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant. Less than a year after marriage, a certain boy was born, and following him, two more boys and a girl.
Andrew Di Gesu
Father of the Bride
My dad taught me everything I need to know and more and gave me a love for large bodies of water. He is the most courageous and hardworking man I know. He can also quote the entire script of A Christmas Story on command and probably knows every song in Johnny Cash's discography.
Thomas McCarron
Father of the Groom
Thomas and Catherine McCarron have been married for 25 years, marrying at the Catholic Chapel at West Point when Thomas was a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant. Less than a year after marriage, a certain boy was born, and following him, two more boys and a girl.
Juliet Di Gesu
Maid of Honor
She's been my right hand through all of this. There's no one else I'd rather go to a Rangers game with or have next to me on the most important day of my life. There's also no one else I could rely on to curl my hair five minutes before I have to be somewhere. She also doesn't mince words when my outfit isn't cute.
Patrick McCarron
Best Man
Pat and I made acquaintance roughly 15 months after I was born, and have remained as thick as thieves ever since.
Michela Di Gesu
Bridesmaid
My cousin, who has been my partner in crime at every family gathering since 1999. It only makes sense that she's next to me at this one, and finally not at the kids' table!
Gerard McCarron
Groomsman
Gerry came into the picture soon after Pat; and from then on an unbreakable trio formed. No other man but me could be so lucky and proud to have these men as my brothers.
Molly McCarron
Bridesmaid
My lovely sister in law and the only person I know who is resilient enough to be able to live in a convent. Also very passionate about winning Monopoly.
Rayme Lacy
Groomsman
Rayme “RJ” Lacy and I struck up quite the friendship 5 years ago at KP. One fateful roommate situation led to five years of incredible times with a truly close friend.
Alexandra Pinand
Bridesmaid
We basically grew up in each other's backyards. I can always rely on Alex for a ride to the airport, to get Thatch Fries and drinks out, breakfast at the O.D., or have a cup of sleepytime tea on the couch.
Andrew Starling
Groomsman
Destiny had it in store for the two of us to become brothers, both on the rugby pitch and off. If four years of blood, sweat, and tears on the pitch didn’t secure our friendship, then eight continuous months together at sea sure did.
Sara Sharkey
Bridesmaid
We were roommates for nearly four years at Maritime. If there's anyone who knows how to have a fun time doing anything at all, even teaching celestial navigation to 18 year olds, it's Sharkey.
Brandon Cordova
Groomsman
How close can you become with someone if you live with them for three years straight? Turns out, closer than friend; more like a brother, which I consider Brandon to be. Our times together as roommates are memories I will always cherish.
Sarah Browning
Bridesmaid
If you ask her how long she's known me, she'd say "since we were literally in diapers." But we met in kindergarten, and kindergarteners should not be wearing diapers. Nonetheless, I can always rely on her for anything from bridal shower arrangements to random coffee dates and last minute homemade charcuterie boards and everything else in between.
Jackson Steiner
Groomsman
Jackson and I became close over the fall of our plebe year — if I recall correctly, I had to grow on him a little. Yet no one can deny how tight we became, especially when discussing our wildly different and sometimes outlandish views on life.
