Courtney & Brian
Wedding Party
Lauren Oliverio
Maid of Honor
As soon as Brian proposed, I knew the exact person that would be my Maid of Honor. Lauren has always been my biggest supporter and I love our weekly sister phone calls. I am sooo excited for her and husband, as she just gave birth to their first baby and my godson, Harrison, in October of 2017. Lauren is a lawyer and works for the Attorney General of New Jersey. She has a fiery personality and has given us Mack kids our marching orders since we were little. Lauren enjoys traveling with her family on trips all over the country. My older sister has the biggest heart and I can't wait for her to stand by our side as we say "I do."
Chris Vanderhoof
Best Man
Chris and I went to school together at Virginia Tech and we got to know one another through the Catholic Newman community on campus. We lived together for a year during college and have been great friends ever since. During that time, I got to know his obsession with pirates, Star Wars, and Legos. Chris now works as a veterinarian in Virginia, and one of his patients is our little pup Mallie. He is married to his amazing wife Elizabeth (who once confided her desire to marry me first!) and they have a beautiful daughter Sophie who will be our flower girl at the wedding.
Mariam Creedon
Bridesmaid
Mariam and I met during our college years and have been good friends ever since. When I moved to the Washington D.C. area after graduation, Mariam and her husband Andrew were so warm and welcoming to me - I am so grateful for their kindness. We love exploring around Mariam's home in Old Town Alexandria, drinking wine (and sangria!), and laughing until late hours of the night.
Ian Potere
Groomsman
Ian is my younger (and shorter) brother who lives in North Carolina. He is married to his beautiful wife, Sarah and they have an adorable son Nathaniel, and cute pup Oliver that we love to visit with any chance we get. Ian is fiercely competitive (don't play monopoly with him!) and we are both passionate about our Philly sports teams. Ian recently started working with my Dad and we are all very proud of him.
Allie Tucker
Bridesmaid
Allie and I were both bridesmaids for Mariam's wedding and hit it off right away! She is the most thoughtful friend and is such a fun person to be around. Allie just got married to her husband Wester at the end of 2017. She and her husband love spending time with their cuddly pets, gardening, and all things 'Reston'. I am blessed to have Allie as a friend and can't wait to test out our dance moves together at our wedding!
Phil Frangipane
Groomsman
Like Chris, Phil and I met at the Newman community during college. We often bonded over late night movies, multiple bottles of red wine, and 25 cent loaves of jimmy john's bread with tomato sauce. Phil now lives in Warrenton, Virginia with his incredible wife Eden Rose and their handsome son Paul. We still enjoy discussing the grapes of Northern Virginia (and tasting them too!) whenever we can.
