Michelle & David
Meet the Wedding Party
Marie Paspe
Maid of Honor
The best sister and friend a girl could ask for, and godmother to Bauer. Marie and Michelle did pretty much everything together when they were younger. Highlights include staying up past bedtime playing Crazy 8's under the covers, getting up to all sorts of shenanigans with the Brittany Road kids, dancing, and getting ready for school in the morning (a frenzied ordeal daily, I assure you). In the days before texting one another from their rooms, the sisters would deliver notes to the other's door, knock, then run away before being seen. Fun Fact: Marie is better than Michelle at Guitar Hero, though Michelle will never admit it.
Mark McCauley
Best Man
The groom's brother and best friend of 27 years. He is also the godfather to Bauer, the Mini Australian Shepherd who has stole America's heart. Growing up David and Mark would play wiffle ball, street hockey, and video games together. To this very day, when playing on the same team they are undefeated. Fun Fact: He will most likely write his toast twenty minutes before the reception.
Gillian Zwicker
Bridesfolk
Gill and Michelle became fast friends in 8th grade and bonded over mutual love for comics, passing notes in L337, and hanging out at the local Barnes & Noble with Jen. She recently adopted two adorable kittens who like to (lovingly, cutely) sabotage her work day. Fun fact: Gill lived in China for 2 years, speaks Mandarin, and is currently working on saving the world from climate change.
Chris Bosch
Groomsman
Chris became best friends with David in high school after bonding over Guitar Hero. They attended the same college and were roommates. Fun Fact: He is the tallest person in the wedding party and is most likely to help Dave get out of a jam.
Jen Healy
Bridesfolk
Rumor had it that Jen and Michelle first met as rivals in Mrs. T's 4th grade math class. Truth is, Michelle thought Jen was just the coolest and greatly wished to be friends. For twenty years that wish has been reality. Back in the day, these two were known to frequent Barnes & Noble with Gill, each other's houses for "table talks," and some pretty rad concerts. Fun fact: Jen has run to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up in one day...three separate times.
Owen Ernest
Groomsman
Owen is one of Dave's best friends and they grew up together in the same neighborhood. He was a frequent guest on the McCauley family vacations to the Cape. Owen was a lefty specialist pitcher in the neighborhood wiffle ball games. Fun Fact: Owen broke David's glasses on the Malcolm Butler Interception.
Em Hunsicker
Bridesfolk
One half of the super duo known as Jem ( = Jen + Em). Michelle met Em for the first time at her Mom's wedding in August of 2016, but she had been hearing about Jen and Em's excellent adventures for months before, while the two had been living together in Indiana. They moved to Massachusetts with Jen a short while later, and since then they have become an integral part of the friend group. Fun fact: Em's hometown was the inspiration for Pawnee, Indiana, where Parks and Rec took place.
Andrew Reynolds
Groomsman
Andrew is one of Dave's best friends and grew up in the same neighborhood. Every day in the summer the neighborhood crew would play wiffleball or video games. Andrew convinced the bride and groom to get a dog--multiple sources agree that this was the best decision ever. Fun Fact: Dave took an art class with him at Siena College.
Nicole Reed
Bridesfolk
Michelle, Marie, and Nicki grew up together on Brittany Road, the MNM sisters! These three share many fond memories of sleepovers, movie nights, matching Halloween costumes, carpooling to school...you name it, they've probably done it together. Fun fact: MNM tried to create a neighborhood library, complete with "Return By" cards and an Excel spread sheet catalog...pretty much no one but the three of them used it. They also had the idea to start a business of making Harry Potter wands out of tree branches they found in their neighborhood. They called it quits after discovering they had manufacturing issues.
Danielle E. Dean
Groomswoman
Danielle met the groom through mutual dorm-mates while attending school at the great Bridgewater State University. They bonded over midnight trips to Walmart to buy wheat thins, pizza, and mac n' cheese. She's convinced the best technique to cooling down easy mac is eating it out of the freezer. Fun Fact: Danielle won a bet against Dave and he owes her Panera Bread for life. They don't remember what the bet was about, but great job swindling him.
Kristyn Sullivan
Bridesfolk
Sister of the groom and Auntie to Bauer. Growing up, Kristyn and David would play matchbox cars and watch the Three Stooges together. Fun Fact: She used to make her brothers the best blueberry pancakes while babysitting them during the summer.
Tom Power
Groomsman
Tom met Dave in the 2nd grade and is his longest tenured friend. He introduced Dave to golf and the two have played over a hundred rounds together. Fun fact: Dave hit a home run off Tom in little league. Legend has it, the ball has never landed at Target Field. Tom has intentionally walked Dave ever since.
Adriana Sullivan
Flower Girl
Adriana is the bride and groom's niece. She loves watching Tom Brady play, anything Frozen, and hanging out with Bauer. Fun Fact: Adriana really likes to clean and brush her hair. When she grows up she wants to become a hairdresser.
Peter Sullivan
Groomsman
Peter is David's brother in law and good friend. He works with the groom and lives right around the corner in North Grafton. He is always willing to help David and Michelle with their new house. Fun Fact: He once used a blow torch when installing a fence. Bold move, but it worked.
Kris Tangen
Officiant
Kris was the first friend the groom made in college. He lived 2 doors down in Shea Durgin and met Dave on the elevator. He also helped plan the proposal to Michelle. Fun Fact: Dave used to Ding Dong Ditch his dorm in college. Kris had no idea it was him until now.
Bauer McCauley-Paspe
Best Dog
Fur child of the McCauley-Paspe household, and the bestest boy ever! Bauer joined this family in July 2020 amidst the pandemic. He loves hikes, sleeping next to a fan or drafty door, bully sticks, and sitting on the back of the couch so he can look out the window and bark at everything that passes by--or sometimes, nothing at all. Bauer is Dave's favorite coworker/intern of all time, even though all he does is sleep on the job.
