Claudia & Daniel
Wedding Party
Caitlyn Buja
Maid of Honor
Meet Caitlyn! Claudia met Caitlyn during their freshmen year of college at Salem State University. Caitlyn was sitting in one of the lounges in the dorms with some people from her floor because it was her birthday. Claudia was introduced to Caitlyn, and almost immediately spilled beer and goldfish in Caitlyn's lap. Caitlyn and Claudia got to know each other through their years at Salem State, particularly within their theatre program. Caitlyn and Claudia unknowingly moved 10 minutes away from each other after graduating. Apparently living 10 minutes away was too far because they ended up moving in together. Fun Fact:
Amanda Martin
Bridesmaid
Meet Amanda! Amanda and Claudia met in middle school when their younger brothers played on the same baseball team. They bonded over the fact that most of the games were boring and they didn't want to be there. Amanda and Claudia spent middle and high school watching Ghost Adventures and Hallmark movies, playing games on the wii (specifically Mario Kart), and making cringey Youtube videos. Amanda spent so much time at Claudia's house that Claudia's mom put a bed in her room just for Amanda. The two friends tend communicate through SpongeBob quotes and memes. Amanda attended Framingham State University for her undergraduate degree. She currently works as a scientist for a BioTech company and is pursuing her masters. Claudia is so thankful to be able to have such a lifelong friend by her side. Fun Fact:
Rachel Rose Roberts
Bridesmaid
Meet Rachel! Rachel and Claudia met when they both moved onto the same floor during their freshmen year at Salem State University. During the first few weeks of college, Rachel and Claudia were the only two not invited to a party on the floor below them. They decided to get to know each other (since they had no one else to hang out with). That night was spent sitting on the floor, drinking wine, and eating cheese. There have been many more nights spent that way since then. Rachel and Claudia both became RA's on the same floor, they bonded over late nights on duty dealing with stupid college freshmen. Rachel and Claudia both decided that the RA life wasn't for them, and they moved into an off campus house together. Rachel currently lives in an apartment with her husband, and they are expecting a baby girl in May! Rachel is now a professor within the theatre department of their alma mater, Salem State. Fun Fact:
Kayla Norton
Bridesmaid
Meet Kayla! Kayla and Claudia met while participating in theatre at Salem State University. Kayla was introduced as "Kayla Blue", because she was known for her blue hair. Throughout their time at Salem State, Kayla and Claudia shared many laughs and late night conversations. They also share a love of true crime and wine. She’s the go to person for advice on wine pairings! Kayla currently works at La Belle Winery as an event coordinator. If Kayla wasn’t in Claudia’s wedding, she would most likely be trying to plan it. Kayla is the most organized person that Claudia knows, they’re a sucker for a good Excel spreadsheet. Kayla is also a sucker for charcuterie boards, and they make the best ones. Claudia admires Kayla’s strength, dedication, and individuality. Fun Fact:
Brianne Gitschier
Bridesmaid
Meet Bri! Bri and Claudia met when they were both freshmen at Salem State University. Bri and Claudia had happened to sign up for the same freshmen seminar, The Salem Witch Trials. They sat on opposite ends of the class, but somehow always ended up making eye contact and laughing during ridiculous moments that they both found hilarious. They didn’t end up crossing paths again until after college. One day they both ended up hanging out with the same mutual friend, and immediately remembered each other. Since then Bri and Claudia have been inseparable. Some may call them “Dumb and Dumber”, because of the antics they end up getting themselves into. Nothing makes Bri happier than warm weather and a nice hot dog. Bri detects fraud for work, Claudia doesn’t know exactly what she does, but she knows it’s cool. Fun Fact:
Sydnie Donofrio
Bridesmaid
Meet Syd! Sydnie and Claudia became friends when Danny’s older brother began dating her. Now they’re going to be married in November of 2025! Sydnie and Claudia share a love for plants (Syd has the greener thumb). They typically spend their time together playing card games and drinking wine with the Hernon family.
