Molly & Matthew
Wedding Party
Shay McDonough
Matron of Honor
Molly's sister, second in line, best friend and confidant. If she isn't memorizing lines from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shay is in front of her computer decoding the Matrix. Shay primarily excels in an outdoor environment, taking names and summiting mountains around the world. She may be small, but she is mighty. Our very own Lumber Jill.
Michaela McDonough
Maid of Honor
Molly's sister, third in line best friend, and confidant. Mikki, pookie, pooks, kiki, Mikki-poo, and Mik, are only some of the nicknames we call her. Mikki, the world traveler by day, and nurse by night. Mikki has never let anything get in her way. She may trip over her own two feet on a daily basis, but she always wears a smile, and can laugh at herself with the rest of us.
Jackie Brucella
Bridesmaid
Molly's cousin and best friend. Jackie started going to school and never stopped, so please call her Dr. Jackie as we do. Jackie has the biggest heart and a big brain to go with it. She will always keep the messy bun in style, and rock it all day, everyday.
Alyssa Wilson
Bridesmaid
Molly's partner in crime since before she had acne. Alyssa is just one of the four members of our high school friend group named Maxi-Pump. Don't ask. Alyssa is a mom, a wife, and an amazing friend. Molly and Alyssa barely made is through high school and college, but the memories will always make us laugh.
Jenna Gazzola
Bridesmaid
The one and only Blonde in Maxi-Pump! Dr. Gazzola the dentist can whiten anyones teeth by just looking at them. Her glowing smile and contagious laugh makes everyone around her simply feel better. Jenna is by far the biggest science nerd in the group, but ask her anything about anatomy, biology, and teeth, and you will be enlightened.
Maggie Messina
Bridesmaid
Maggie of Maxi-pump has created amazing works of art, while teaching the young minds of America to always think outside the box. Maggie is tiny, but don't let that fool you. She is as strong as a tidal wave at the beach. Mags is always down for a good laugh, but always knows when to be there for a friend.
James Fasset
Officiant
Molly's cousin, and rock of the family. Ask James anything about the world and he will know it. He never lets anything get in his way, and is true to living life to the fullest. James knows that when someone falls......its funny, so laugh, and then help them up.
Kerry Fassett-Bassett
Bridesmaid
Kerry is Molly's cousin and sister to James. She taught James the joys of laughing at someone who falls......a lot. Kerry is as strong as they come. She takes down walls and builds them back up. Kerry has raised four young women, with beautiful souls inside and out. Kerry has taught Kyla, Devon, Brenna, and Abbey that family is everything, and no matter where you fall, someone will be there to pick you up.
Eric Stas
Best Man
Eric is Matt's favorite brother... cuz he's his only one...get it? Matt has known Eric his entire life...cuz he's younger...amiright? Tired of these bad jokes? Blame our father! Being the more educated of the two Stas brothers he brings a much needed sense of maturity to the duo. His quiet and calm demeanor counteract Matt's obnoxiousness. Blame our mother for that one. On top of everything, Eric has a kind soul and is a man of character. Hense why he was chosen as the Best Man. He truly is.
Jared Melville
Groomsman
He's tall, he's bald, and he even has a band named after him. Look not into his eyes, for even the hardest man will be lost in their depths. Blue and shining like the sky, beware that your mortal soul is not taken forever. He also has a deep fryer which is pretty cool. Jared was Matt's roommate freshman year of college and the two continued to live together for many years afterwards solidifying their close friendship.
Chris Brack
Groomsman
Brack-attack comin back at ya with the quickness so slick, this ain't a trick, it's sickness. You can catch B-rack sittin sideways with the candy paint drippin off the frame of his gasless electro-coup somewhere in the vineyards of Oregon. Wine maker by day and lady killer by night Mr. Chris Brack knows how to have a good time all while keeping it super classy. He's another one of Matt's closest friends from high school and you'll be sorry if you miss his moves on the dance floor.
Chris McLellan
Groomsman
If this were a Trivia contest instead of a wedding, Chris would be the Best Man. However, if ifs and buts were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. So does this mean that Chris (aka MC) is utterly useless otherwise? Absolutely not. His knowledge of history is easily eclipsed by his sense of humor and his selflessness. Feel like sitting around and quoting movies and TV shows all night? Buy this man a pint and buckle up. He'll be easy to find, just look for the stylish most muscular man roaming the venue ;)
Mathew Sisson
Groomsman
Other than spelling his first name incorrectly...Mathew...is a good man and long friend of the Groom. Like card/board games? He'll be more than happy to use you as a guinea pig for his next creation. Matt's creativity is only rivaled by his technical expertise and business acumen. He's the true triple threat of the cut-throat party game industry ;) Matt and Matt originally bonded over music and electronics in high school and both still share the same passion for each. Although they are now separated by a vast distance, the bedrock of their friendship remains.
Chris Malvey
Groomsman
Even though he's one of the later additions to the friend group that doesn't mean Chris is not important. I mean, it's not like there was any need for another Chris, so his presence has got to count for something right? Right? Mr. Malvey was introduced to the group via our beloved friend Mr. Kevin Horton. Right away we liked him because he made fun of Kevin without any direction from us. Like a long lost brother Chris joined right in on our hiking/skiing/traveling adventures seamlessly. If you meet him at the wedding, take everything with a grain of salt. Unless he brought some of his tasty home-cooking. No extra seasoning required.
Tony Depasquale
Groomsman
Eh! Oh! Look what the cat dragged in. Something with spaghetti squash-for-brains that smells of marinara and hair gel. Of course I jest, but you gotta come out swingin' when you're dealing with a verbal sparring partner such as Anthony Galileo Depasquale Esq. Despite what you may have heard, this guy's no ambulance chaser. He's a savy fellow, with top notch cooking skills and some hefty musical talent to boot. He's a close friend of Matt's from College who remains a usual suspect at friendly gatherings to this day.
Neil Carlson
Groomsman
Are there any real men left in this world? Men of true grit? Men of the earth are hard to come by these days. The swamp is flooded. The millenials have put bubble wrap on everything. You can't even smoke a stogie in your favorite restaurant anymore!! Who are we to turn to? The answer is a man who needs no introduction. Except for that one above. Neilos Maxiumus Decimus Aurelius Carlson (AKA Neil Carlson). Engineer? Check. Outdoorsman? Check. Scruffy beard? Check. The total package. He is a man who will right all of the wrongs in this unforgiving world. And who has also been good pals with Matt since high school.
