Wedding Party
Megan Krugger
Maid of Honor
Megan is Maura's matron of honor and she also owns the wedding venue! Their story began in the faculty lunchroom of East Bridgewater Jr./Sr. High School in 2015. Maura initially assumed that Meg would be a little stuck up, but Meg quickly shattered that assumption; she is extremely warm, thoughtful, and compassionate. They hit it off right away, and planned to meet for a coffee after school. Since then, these coffee dates have become a daily ritual that they both look forward to after a stressful day of work. They share interests in visual art and all things "spooky." Besides weekly coffee dates, they also enjoy going to craft fairs, attending spooky events (especially in Salem), concerts, and spending time on Meg's boat in the summer! Fun fact about Meg: She was recently on the Discovery Channel show Naked & Afraid! Maura feels incredibly lucky to have a friendship that feels so effortless and soul-nurturing.
Wes Fowlks
Best Man
Wes and Pat met in 2005 when they were assigned to be roommates their freshman year of college. They chose to remain roommates for the rest of college, joined the same fraternity, and became best friends. Wes was Pat's go-to guy through all the ups and downs of college life. Pat had the honor of being the best man at Wes’ wedding, now Wes is returning the favor.
Erin Glynn
Bridesmaid
Erin is Maura's younger sister and built-in best friend. Growing up they were inseparable and didn't mind when people mistakenly assumed they were twins. They loved to read to one another, create intricate storylines with their dolls, and draw for endless hours together. Erin always tolerated Maura's stubborn and bossy tendencies with grace. To this day they still have a lot in common; they are both art teachers, yoga practitioners, nature enthusiasts, and eat mostly plant-based diets. Erin is kind, authentic, and funny. Now, Maura and Erin love spending the day practicing hot yoga, thrifting, and getting food together. Fun fact about Erin: she is a bird enthusiast and enjoys identifying birds in her backyard. Maura is constantly inspired by Erin and feels so lucky to have her as a sister!
Kyle Raymond
Groomsman
Kyle is Pat’s older brother by about two years. They've always been pretty close growing up, as they spent countless hours playing pick up games of basketball and football at the park, riding bikes, and playing Magic. These days Kyle is the Dungeon Master for their Dungeons & Dragons games and the host of many cookouts; he is great at creating many opportunities for friends and family to come together.
Liz Cummings
Bridesmaid
Liz is one of Maura's longest friends, dating back to when they were in elementary school! They met while working on a music project about Destiny's Child together. Growing up they loved walking to the center to eat some greasy pizza from Pembroke House of Pizza and collect pop culture magazines for collages. Over the years they grew closer and even endured a long "emo" phase together. Liz started doing Maura's hair in high school, and continues to be her amazing hairdresser now. Maura is inspired by Liz's great taste and creative eye. They have a blast going out in Provincetown together. Fun fact about Liz: She is not only a hairstylist, but also an exceptional cosmetic tattoo artist too! Maura is grateful to have a friend that has been by her side through so many phases of her life.
Adam Buckley
Groomsman
Adam and Pat have been friends since they were about 3 or 4 years old. They went to school together from kindergarten all the way through to high school graduation. At school they played lacrosse together. Growing up, they spent countless hours playing magic, marco polo in Matt’s pool, and games in Joe’s basement. Adam has been there for Pat through it all and Pat is grateful to have his longest friend by his side.
Nick Davis
Bridesman
Nick is one of the "EB Work Wives," a trio that includes Maura and Meg. Maura met Nick while working together at EBHS. Nick's first impression of Maura was that she was "peculiar" and he isn't afraid to let her know when her clothing choices give him pause...and Maura loves getting a reaction out of him. However different they may be, Nick and Maura bond over their shared sense of humor together. Nick is by far the most social and popular person Maura knows; he is consistently booked out for months with weddings and other plans! No matter what context, generational gaps, and personality differences, Nick is able to connect with almost anyone and maintain these friendships long-term. Maura admires Nick's ability to bring people together. She loves going out with Nick and ending the night with an EB Wives slumber party. Fun fact about Nick: he is fluent in French and is a French teacher! Maura is grateful to have such a caring, funny, and fun-loving friend in Nick.
Joe Webster
Groomsman
Joe and Pat went to school together for most of their lives, but became really close friends in middle and high school. Joe’s basement was one of the main hangouts where they played games and watched movies after college. Joe and Pat were each other's unsuccessful wingmen; the only time they managed to get dates was when they were dressed in Halloween costumes. Nowadays Joe opens up his home and organizes game nights. Pat is grateful for Joe being a great friend and host.
Zoe Falby
Bridesmaid
Maura met Zoe while working at Trader Joe's together in 2016. Maura was drawn to Zoe's warm personality, sense of humor, and similar taste in music and pop culture. They share a similar way of thinking and conversational style which makes spending time together feel effortless. Conversations between Maura and Zoe are impossible for the average person to follow because they take so many different directions and are peppered with layers of inside jokes. Somehow, they always have more to talk about, and usually spend a large fraction of their time together laughing. Whether they are attending a music festival together or lounging watching tv, they are always in stitches laughing when they are together. Fun fact about Zoe: she is talented in visual art as well as music! Maura feels so lucky to have a friend like Zoe that makes her feel seen and brings her so much laughter.
Matt Burak
Groomsman
Pat and Matt met on the bus in 5th/6th grade, and became friends through recreational basketball. Even though Matt is a grade behind Pat, they became very close friends. At one point, their shared high school English teacher, Ms. Balboni, expressed curiosity about their friendship, so Pat started referencing Matt in his writing. They spent most of their summers from middle through high school hanging out by Matt's pool. Matt even convinced Pat to join the swim team his senior year just so he could get Pat’s vote for Captain the following season. Pat is grateful for many unforgettable summers spent with Matt.
