Wedding Party
Summer Mercier

Molly's big sister. Molly and Summer grew up as best friends so much so she followed Summer to college at UNH and lived just two floors below her in the dorms Molly's freshman year. Only a year and half apart they shared many of the same friends, clothes, and cars. Many of you know Summers love for her puppy Oslo, but you might not know this inspired Molly to adopt Rainier, making the first two grandpups of the family.
Brooke Mercier
Maid of Honor
Molly's little sister. Brooke is molly's go to fashion guru, tough love sister. She is a natural leader with confidence and strong will, a quality Molly admires. Brooke is famous for her frequent facetime calls with random stories that make everyone laugh. Sam has become Brookes true brother in law with constant bullying, but is always helping her with her frequent computer problems.
Emily Perrone
Bridesmaid
Emily was one of Mollys first friends in college. Fun fact, they met in their dorm hallway while Molly was locked out of her room (coming back from the shower, shower caddy in hand), Emily helped figure out her room code and saved some embarrassment. Emily will also tell you she was the one to set Molly and Sam up. This is absolutely true and she can tell you the story.
Erin Burke
Bridesmaid
Molly likes to call Erin her twin, matching outfits is a must on trips. Erin quickly became one of Mollys best friends living down the street from each other in Somerville. Erin has helped molly "learn" to play soccer and basketball pushing her outside her comfort zone. Erin also motivated Molly to run her first half marathon, and it was a success! One of this duos favorite activity is getting aperol spritzes and yapping all night (as Sam would say).
Ricky Maderia
Bridesmaid
Everyone who knows Ricky knows she is the planner of the friend group. She continues to make both Molly and Sam feel not so far away with her consistent phone calls, texts, and trips planned a year in advance. She was Molly's go to in Somerville for walks around their neighborhood, a pint at the bar, and a good home cooked meal.
Alyssa Johnson
Bridesmaid
Alyssa and Molly's friendship has become a lot more adventurous than it first started. They have skied Jackson hole together, hiked Utah trails (and saw first rattle snake), skied Colorado, and more to come! Alyssa moved out West along with Molly and helped each other feel more comfortable with such a big change. On top of being besties, Alyssa's boyfriend Mike is one of Sam's besties and a groomsmen. Lots of future double dates in the future.
Christine Garafola
Bridesmaid
Christine was actually Sam's friend first! Christine played middle school soccer with Sam and never ended their friendship. When Molly and Sam moved to Boston, weekends with Christine became the new routine and they immediately bonded over pitchers of margaritas. Ask Christine, she will tell you all about our night at Capo and more nights in Boston that led us to this day. Molly and Christine share many of the same traits one of which is falling asleep first at the party.

He constantly inspires Sam to grow and be a better person, you would be hard pressed to find a friend truer than Quinn.
Mike Wagner

From getting into (and away) with trouble in high school, to adventuring through Boston, Evan has been there to make so many great memories that you wouldn't trade for all the money in the world.
