Wedding Party
Jose A. Rodriguez
Best Man
Hi everyone, I am Jose! One of Manny's best friends & now best man. Manny & I have known each other since we were in the second grade almost 20 years ago. He has always been one of the most sincere & genuine human beings that I have had the honor to call my friend & I am forever grateful for our friendship. Manny first introduced me to Madison when I went to go visit him in Indianapolis while he was away for college. She has always been a sweet & caring person who has also become a close friend of mine & someone I can confide in. The two of them together make the perfect duo & I cannot wait to be there to celebrate with them & see them grow together.
Mackenzie O'Rourke
Maid of Honor
Hi, my name is Mackenzie O’Rourke and I cannot express how excited I am to celebrate two of my favorite people. I met Manny in 2019, and soon after, he introduced me to Maddi and from that moment, everything changed. When Manny brought Maddi into our lives, I gained not just a friend but a soul sister. Maddi is my bestest friend and will always be a part of my life, no matter how near or far we may be. Watching these two amazing people come together in marriage is truly something special, and I’m so honored to be part of it.
Edras Montero
Groomsman
My name is Ej, I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Manny for over a decade and Madi for over 5 years now. I always like to say me and Manny are “same same but different” and well if you don’t know where that line is from you can stop reading now. But seriously, Manny has supported me every step of my life and I can genuinely say that he is one of the most dependable friends I have. We fight about almost anything but when it comes to talking about real life altering decisions I know we are always going to be there for each other. Madi over the years has truly been a blessing not only to Manny, but our entire friend group as a whole. She humbles him consistently (because he needs it) and she is one of the most genuine and caring people I know. I am beyond excited to be a part of this beautiful moment for two of my closest friends and I am ecstatic to have the opportunity to meet their friends and family!
Jessi Kerrigan
Bridesmaid
I have had the pleasure of being Madi’s older sister, best friend and biggest (retired) tormenter for 25 years now. From sandwich throwing, hair pulling and arguing over clothes, we have built our relationship into something unbreakable - friendship. We are each others rocks I am super excited to share the role with Manny now! I'm fiercely loyal and loving with a pinch of dark humor and sarcasm. I cannot wait to support Madi and Manny (and Mylo!!) on their next adventure in this beautiful life.
Patrick Kerrigan
Groom
Hello everyone my name is Patrick. Im the younger brother of the bride and soon to be brother and law to the groom. I met Manny when he came to Maryland to visit Maddis family aka me and when thinking back to that time I have one distinct memory but I think it’s better not shared. I do have another distinct memory and that was when Manny, Maddi and I were all playing fifa in the living room and I was playing Manny getting cooked(losing bad). Then I started playing Maddi and it wasn’t much of game but when the two of us were playing and Manny was there coaching her trying to get her a goal(didn’t happen) but in that moment I realized Maddi is down tremendously, like by a lot and Manny is still by her side helping her and talking shit to me at the same time.
Kassidy Kerrigan
Bridesmaid
I am the younger sister of the bride. Growing up, we were extremely close. Madi was always someone I looked up to, or called when I needed advice or reassurance. In February of 2020, Madi was away at college in Indianapolis, and had taken me to my first college party where I met Manny. At the time, Madi and Manny were only friends. However, as someone who knows Madi since forever, I knew she really liked Manny. Manny was funny, kind, and witty. He was the perfect pairing to Madi. When I went back home to Maryland, within the next 2 weeks, Manny had asked Madi to be his girlfriend. As years have went on, Manny has become another brother and someone who I am so excited to welcome officially to the family!
Nolan O'Rourke
Groomsman
I had the pleasure of meeting Manny in 2019 when he was selected to be one of my random roommates at our new apartment, boy was I lucky. A friendship quickly started when we bonded over video games. A year later Manny became my brother after joining the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity with me. Even after the Fraternity chapter was closed, I never considered him as anything less than a brother. After he met Madi and I met my wife Mackenzie, the four of us were inseparable. Since then, we have have not let any distance stop us from being like family and we always make time for each other. I'm so glad we are a part of each other's lives and we get to experience life together.
Jordan Kerrigan
Bridesmaid
I’m Jordan, the oldest Kerrigan sibling — which basically means I’ve been bossing Maddi around since she could walk. I live in St. Pete, Florida with my fiancé, Austin, and our two rescue pitties, Ruby and Daisy, who are convinced they run the house. We spend most of our time outside or traveling the country in search of the best views, weird roadside attractions, and snacks — all while paying way too much to own a home in Florida. We’re thrilled to be here in Guatemala celebrating Maddi and Manny — or as we call them, M&M — who’ve already racked up more adventures than most people get in a lifetime. Maddi is somehow more responsible than the rest of us combined, which is exactly why we trust her to keep Manny alive. Here’s to years of family trips, group text chaos, and making them carry the heavy bags… and Dad, get out your checkbook, because I have a feeling this isn’t the last destination wedding.
Kevin Hereau
Groomsman
I met Manny as a blind roommate in college. We are two very different people and for the first 6 months we hated each other. Over time our similar interests (such as drinking and sports betting) prevailed and we became close friends. I met Madi shortly after they started dating and she moved into our apartment. Manny and I have a shared birthday of 10/10, just like our looks. Living halfway across the country now, we still try to get together to celebrate every year.
Amanda Shearer
Bridesmaid
Meeting Madi was the start of a friendship I didn’t know I needed. From colleagues at The Ave to besties, she’s become my rock, my partner-in-crime, and the person most likely to get me into (and somehow out of) trouble. Manny was already in the picture when I showed up, and it didn’t take long to see why—he makes Madi laugh the way she deserves and gives her the love she’s always deserved. I’ve loved visiting the places they’ve called home, tagging along on their adventures, and watching their love grow stronger with each chapter. I’m beyond excited to stand beside them when they say “I do.”
Mynor J. Carcamo
Officiant
I’m Manny’s oldest sibling, and over the years I’ve had the joy of watching him and Madi build a life together (though I’m still not quite sure why Madi stuck around this long). Family has always been a huge part of who my brother is, and it’s been incredible to welcome Madi into ours — though it honestly feels like she’s been here all along. As the more mature of the siblings, I’ve come to value meaningful connections and being surrounded by people who bring out the best in each other. Manny and Madi (and Mylo) embody that fully, and I couldn’t be more proud to call them family.
