Alana & Matthew

    Welcome!
    Wedding Party

Wedding Party

Meet the life of the party!

Erica Crump

Matron of Honor

If we don't count those first six weeks where Alana had not been born yet, Erita and Awana have known (and loved) each other since day 1.


Michael Gallerani

Best Man

The moment Matt became known as "Mikey's brother" around the dock, instead of the the other way around, was a bit of a shock for Matt. Nevertheless...nope, it's still irritating.

Maria DeMichele

Maid of Honor

The little sister Alana never had...not just for our shared love for White Russians, belting out whatever Bruce Springsteen or Disney song comes on, and appreciation of Maria's willingness to tell it like it is.


Jack Flanagan

Best Man

Matt and Jack immediately bonded over their love of snowboarding, music and design. It was a race to the finish line, but Matt succeeded in beating Alana to ask her brother to stand on his side of the aisle.

Katharina Funder

Bridesmaid

Alana and Katharina bonded at Boston University over the (repeated) mispronunciation of our names, fumbling through the sorority handshake (still) and (many) bottomless brunches. She'll be the first person on the dance floor...and the last one to leave it!


Patrick (PJ) Walsh

Groomsman

Matt has lost track of the number of times PJ has bailed him out (or was sitting right next to him) during dicey situations since graduating together from Fairfield Prep...you could say it’s a bromance, but it might be more than that (and Alana's trying not to be jealous).

Chloe Sakow

Bridesmaid

Since Boston University, Chloe is still Alana's voice of reason...whether it's sage advice or the gentle push needed to buy a plane ticket to anywhere.


Frank Castorina

Groomsman

First at Fairfield Prep and then as roommates at Roger Williams University, Matt and Frank are constantly swapping gardening tips, enjoying live music or getting their hands dirty in the kitchen.

Kelly Darchuk

Bridesmaid

Kelly and Alana were brave enough to live together in Boston not once, not twice, but three separate times!...and are still friends. Pretty much says it all.


Patrick Braden

Groomsman

Best buds since their days at Fairfield Prep, Matt can always rely on Pat's huge heart and infectious laugh to shake things back into perspective. And by shaking, we mean literally...he gets loud.

Julia Dunne

Bridesmaid

Don't let this sweet face fool you - Julia's sneaky tricks got Alana to Matt's proposal on Block Island with no idea what was coming!


Christopher Saksa

Groomsman

Despite Chris's ironically consistent bad luck (and good-natured acceptance of Matt's' merciless teasing about it since their days together at Fairfield Prep), Chris never fails to have a smile on his face.

For all the days along the way
