Mark & Alli
Wedding Party
Travis Desjardins
Best Man
Mark and Travis met in 2006 when Mark started school at Thornton Academy and they have been inseparable ever since. They share many adventures together including rafting trips, the college party tour, and occasionally getting into some trouble. Over the years Travis has become more of a brother then a friend and is exactly who Mark wants next to him on the biggest day of his life. In high school Mark told Travis he will be his best man one day, and he will finally get the chance to now.
Christie Landry
Matron of Honor
Alli's sister and BFF since '93. Alli lovingly refers to Christie as "Crusty Lumpkins" and they both share a love for anything spooky. Alli and Mark love spending time with Christie and her husband Drew. Alli had the privilege of serving as Christie's Maid of Honor at her wedding in 2018.
Steven Woodcock
Groomsman
Mark and Woody met in study hall at Thornton Academy where Woody secretly took pictures of Mark and put them on Facebook saying, “the new kid looks like John Mayer.” Although they drastically differ in height, they have so much in common. They have been roommates on multiple occasions, drove across the country together, and Woody has the full time job of being Mark’s personal stylist.
Chelsea Bush
Bridesmaid
Alli and Chelsea met during Freshmen Orientation weekend at Saint Michael's College, and even though Chelsea judged Alli for wearing a dress to their camping trip, they ended up bonding and becoming roommates for 3 years. They enjoyed many trips to Burger King and Cumberland Farms to get Hot Fries throughout their college years. After college when Chelsea moved to Los Angeles with our friend Meghan, Alli came out to visit twice and they showed her an amazing time!
Peter Bilotta
Groomsman
When Mark was getting ready to start school at Thornton Academy he met Peter at hockey practice. They spent many nights at “The Barn” playing poker with the boys and sitting by the pool. In 2015, Mark spent 6 months in New Orleans with Pete. They barely survived Mardi Gras when Pete housed 13 Maine friends in his apartment.
Brittany O'Brien
Bridesmaid
Brittany has been a great friend to Alli since they became roommates during their Junior year at Saint Michael's College. As a fellow Mainer, they shared a common love for their home state. They worked together at Under Armour during their Senior year with Brittany's future husband, Kevin, and often left campus to grab a sandwich from Martone's in Essex. Alli was excited to serve as a bridesmaid in Brittany's wedding in 2016.
Kevin Dube
Groomsman
Although Mark and Dube were also friends in high school, their friendship really took off once Mark came home from the military. They lived together in Portland on Sawyer Street and had rooms right next to each other. This led to many nights in the Old Port, including St. Patricks Day where they headed to Brian Boru’s as soon as they woke up, and many Campalina parties. Thank you for your time.
Kristen Allison
Bridesmaid
Alli's childhood friend, they were known to mangle a barbie doll or two during their various play dates. Alli and Kristen stayed close throughout college and had some eventful trips visiting each other at UMaine/Saint Mike's. They've been on vacation together and both ended up settling down in Massachusetts just a few towns away. Alli was honored to be one of Kristen's bridesmaids when she married her husband, Chris, in 2016 and loves spending time with their new daughter, Harper!
Drew Landry
Groomsman
When Alli and Mark started dating Drew had already been apart of the family for a LONG time. It didn’t take long for Mark and Drew to become fast friends after spending time together at every family function. Throughout Alli and Mark’s relationship Drew has been there every step of the way and Mark is happy to add another brother to his family.
