Lund Panvini Wedding
Wedding Party
Madison Lund
Maid of Honor
Although she was the middle Lund sister; nothing else about Madi falls in the middle of the pack. You’ll hear her before you see her and you’ll see her coming before you know her. Her contagious laughter is endearing, and inescapable. Her sharp wit and social awareness are natural and necessary qualities especially in her career as a special education teacher. Having relocated from Boston to Charlotte, NC Madi is also in the midst of becoming a certified yoga teacher. In whatever spare time she has, Madi is at the waters edge, infecting the world with laughter and melting all earth’s sharp edges away. Fun Fact(s): She’s an Academic AND a dog mom.
Nicole Lund
Bridesmaid
The youngest of the three and the freest of the free Nikki is always living life bravely and to its fullest. Whether she’s working summers on the Cape or teaching in Thailand, she manages to create meaningful friendships and long lasting impressions wherever she goes. Her spare time is spent in the company of her friends, listening to music, hiking, or lying on a field of grass just talking. Nikki is currently living in Cambridge working as an early education teacher at Harvard. Ask anywhere, someone probably knows Nikki Lund. Fun Fact: She’s a pretty spectacular poet. She also did a stint as a stand up comedian in Thailand.
Tessa Martin
Bridesmaid
Friend of Ali since high school Tessa is the closest thing to a sister the bride has (well except for her actual sisters). Having lived in San Diego and Minneapolis, we couldn’t be happier that she’s now based in Boston and our best Sunday night dinner guest. As the youngest of three girls, and aunt to a baby nephew, Tessa’s patience and generosity know no bounds. The master of chill, hours spent in Tessa’s company can just as easily blend into days; and they often do. Fun Fact: Her real first name is Marie. It’s not, but it is.
Danielle Cronin
Bridesmaid
Danielle met Ali when they were freshman year dorm neighbors at Northeastern. She was destined to be great friends from the first night Ali asked Dani to dinner; she just may not have known it yet. A New York native, she moved to Manhattan after college to teach middle school. In her free time she can usually be found running, or soaking in sun at the beach, or running towards the beach. The queen of fun; Dani’s presence will brighten any occasion; including this wedding. Fun Fact: Ali once tattooed “CAT” on Dani’s middle finger. Dani thought it would only last 6 months. It’s still there six years later.
Bryn Luttinger
Bridesmaid
A friend of Ali’s since high school tennis, Bryn is our perfect girl next door. Having attending college at Bentley, she never left the East coast. Currently she lives in Boston across the street from Ali and works in advertising for Draft Kings. Whether it’s sports trivia, a tennis match, or a marathon Bryn is that girl who can beat all the boys. Our golden girl spends her spare time running, boxing, or bronzing under the Florida sun. Fun Fact: Athleticism runs in the family…
Alexander "Sam" Panvini
Best Man
Nick might not always admit it, but his younger brother and best man, is the one of the coolest people he knows. After attending college in San Diego, he took the long road through Seattle to San Antonio where he now attends medical school. Sam is that person who does in fact accomplish anything he sets their mind to. Despite school’s long hours he still creates time to build his own furniture, track race cars, do crazy wakeboard flips, and enjoy every minute of it. Neither time nor distance make time spent with Sam ever feel like a minute or a mile has gone by in the interim. Maybe it’s a brothers thing. Fun Fact: He’s broken every limb in his body at least once.
Vince Grosso
Groomsman
Easily and often confused with the most interesting man in the world Vince is one of those people we’d want by our side if we were stuck on a desert island. Nick and Vince’s friendship stretchs back to high school where Vince was usually the one orchestrating an impromptu whole pig roast feast for anyone and everyone. He is currently a resident of Raleigh, NC, however his roots run deep in Santa Cruz CA where he attended college. In his spare time, he’s always active outdoors and as often as possible in the ocean surfing or fishing. Actually, we’d always want Vince by our side, desert island non withstanding. Fun Fact: Vince is married to Nick’s sophomore year roommate Ashton. Also, his middle name is Danger.
David Pavicich
Groomsman
Dave went to school with Nick from day one through high school. His college and graduate years were spent in Boulder doing what all California kids who move to Boulder do – chasing snow. As the youngest of five siblings Dave has a relentless humor, thick skin, and quick laugh that make him easy to love. Most recently he moved home to San Jose where he lives with his wife Lily and baby boy Mason and works in property management. He still finds time to chase snow though. Fun Fact: Dave has a natural talent as a cook. Also, ask him about the season he skied half of a million vertical feet.
Edward "Chip" Lewis III
Groomsman
For the better part of the past 2 decades Chip’s been doing his best to corrupt Nick. Instead, he’s become a lasting influence and guide to Nick’s career. At one point or another they’ve been roommates and coworkers, occasionally at the same time. Currently Nick’s even taken up part time residence on Chip’s couch in New York during the work week. Always the life of the party and the first one on the dance floor; he was born to lead and never to follow; which works out well given that you’re likely to have a great time wherever he’s going. Fun Fact: Like his brother. Chip met his fiancé in NY although she’s grew up one town away from him in California. He also has a fountain of knowledge for movie and TV quotes.
Kyle Lewis
Groomsman
Since age fourteen Kyle and Nick may have more hours clocked together than Nick and Ali so far. A Cal Poly SLO graduate, Kyle lived in NY where he met his wife Michelle who just so happened to be from his neighboring town back in California. A self-started entrepreneur Kyle is one of those people who manages to manifest any pursuit into reality. In his (nonexistent) spare time he’s usually learning something from a podcast series, getting his real estate license, or working on a new product. He lives in Campbell California with his wife Michelle and TWO beautiful baby girls Lyla (2) and Emmy (3 months).
Valerie Sarnataro
Officiant
Our officiant has some of the most important words to say this weekend; and Val is the perfect fit for the job. A public relations woman wonder, with a quick wit befitting a New York native, Val met and lived with Ali when they both relocated to San Francisco for internships at VMWare. Nick met Val a few years later but quickly made up for lost time. Effortless to talk to and possessing a smile that can brighten every room, Val is the one we want there to sherpa us through this life moment. Fun Fact: Val loves a good candle, and her work. and dogs; all dogs.
