Wedding Party
Nicole DeFranco
Maid of Honor
For all who may not know, Nicole is Michelle's older sister. There's no other person Michelle could imagine being her right hand woman on this very special day. She's the wonderful mother of our junior bridesmaid as well as our ring bearer. She's always been a constant supporter in Michelle's life and always someone she can count on no matter what. She's a woman who will drop everything for the people in her life when they need her. Nicole and Michelle are the perfect example of the saying “you’ll appreciate each other when you’re older” which was said A LOT in their younger years. You can find her right by Michelle's side the day of the wedding and every day after that. She loves a good photo op and a nice martini so don't miss the chance to grab either one with her!
Maxwell Connolly
Best Man
Max is Ian's older brother and was a shoe-in for being promoted to Best Man for our special day. He is passionate, dedicated, caring and one of the hardest workers you will ever meet. But, it is safe to say Max's role as a father to our flower girl, Emma, has been his finest work yet. All of Ian's life, he has followed in his older brother's footsteps. Watching Max pave the way of both how to do things the right way... and sometimes the wrong way. But Max is a hero in Ian's eyes for always being the point man just to make everyone else's venture a bit more smooth. With so much in common, from Airsoft, owning a business together, videogames and Marvel movies, it is no surprise that Max, Ian's best friend, will stand the closest as his Best Man.
Jenna DePalma
Bridesmaid
Jenna is Michelle's longest friend. Over 2o years of sticking with Michelle is no small feat. Instead of judging Michelle for her weird antics at times, she's always been the one to join right in and laugh until they'd cry. They've been through the best and hardest years of their lives together and the term best friends for life definitely applies here. She’s dedicated, hard working and the most driven woman we’ve ever met. She loves her dog and doing the most adventurous activities with her soon-to-be-husband so we're very happy she's able to take some time off from flying helicopters and scuba diving to be there (as always) for us!
Owen Connolly
Groomsman
Owen is Ian's little brother and the baby of the Connolly family, one of the goofiest, wittiest, and most clever young men you will ever meet. His name is Owen because at the time Jack and Jennifer were deciding on a name, Logan wasn't an option for obvious reasons ( See Logan Whitaker's bio )… with a 13 year age difference, Ian had the opportunity to spend so much time watching Owen grow. Playing with action figures, Nerf Wars, and Ian receiving an unimaginable amount of Hulk-Hand beat downs from a toddler is something the two of them will hopefully never forget. Owen is a smart, charismatic young man and it will not take long to find that out about him. Ian couldn't imagine not having his favorite, and only, little brother stand by his side on our big day.
Mackenzie Connolly
Bridesmaid
In the simplest way possible, Kenzie is the most genuine person you will ever meet. She's Ian's younger sister but has welcomed Michelle as a sister from the moment they met. She has a natural way of making everyone around her feel so loved and cared for. She's the kind of woman many strive to be like and she doesn't even try. She's a dedicated person who follows her dreams and will brighten your day. It's very obvious her family is the most important thing to her and she is so very important to us.
Logan Whitaker
Groomsman
A friendship that started a bit rocky... let’s just say Logan and Ian were not the biggest fans of one another growing up in middle school while playing on the same lacrosse team. If you want to know more, ask him to tell you the story. It’s like something out of a corny Hallmark movie and Logan loves telling it to people... As one of Ian's oldest, and largest friends, Logan has been there every step of the way and the two of them have been (unintentionally) moving on the same timeline ever since 8th grade. Logan is one of the most genuine, and strongest people you will ever meet. The kind of guy to do anything for his friends and family without thinking twice. He's an incredible dancer... so grab a whiskey with him and let the good times roll.
Kim Connolly
Bridesmaid
Kim is Ian's sister in law (only until our big day) and then Michelle is eagerly excited to call her the same. Kim has an excitement in everything she does that glows from within her. She's an amazing mother (to our perfect little flower girl) and a hardworking woman who never thinks twice about what she can do to help someone else. Her energy is contagious, she'll have you laughing uncontrollably until champagne shoots our of your nose and her feet will leave permanent imprints on that dance floor.
Robert Harrison
Groomsman
Rob is Ian's oldest friend of nearly 20 years. The two of them grew up in the small town of Riegelsville, PA riding bikes for 8 hours a day, playing manhunt across the entire town, and frankly getting into any type of trouble that they could think of. The unofficial 5th Connolly child; you know, the one that was having dinner with your parents when you weren't home yourself kind of kid. Rob and Ian share a strong bond and share countless memories. Robert is one of the kindest, funniest, and selfless men you could ever know. The first to show up, and the last to leave, the life of the party and one of the best friends a person could hope for.
Kayla Warner
Bridesmaid
Kayla is one of the loviest ladies you will ever meet. Her and Michelle met when they worked together and it was a friendship that you felt in your heart from that moment. She's extremely selfless and kind, someone who will always put a smile on your face. She’s supportive, compassionate, and has one of the biggest hearts this world has ever seen. She's always down for a random road trip (accompanied with hours of sing alongs) or a concert within a 30 minute notice! Plus, as a die hard Penguins fan, she's accepted Ian turning Michelle into a Devil's fan which just proves once again what a great friend she is!
Wesley Green
Groomsman
Wes is another one of Ian's longest friends and is like a big brother. As Max's best friend since freshman year of high school, Wes was around for so much of Ian's life growing up. They have spent countless days playing paintball together, running a company together and so much more. Wes is the "brains" of all of the operations he is involved in, essentially an electrical mad scientist, and one of the smartest men you will meet. The canary of our friend group that almost always knows the right thing to say or the right direction to take. The kindest soul, a fantastic father, and an incredible friend to Ian and so many more.
Sabrina Moll
Bridesmaid
Sabrina is a force you can't wait to meet. Her and her fiancé, Vincent Cuvo, moved in next door to Ian and Michelle during the craziness of 2020 and they've been stuck like glue ever since. You know friendship is everlasting when you can walk into each other's homes for 2 years without even having to knock. She's the biggest hype girl you'll meet and will compliment you until she passes out. She loves nothing more than making sure everyone around her is having the time of their lives, even in life's littlest moments. She's powerful in everything she does, will love you forever, and her cooking could easily put Gordon Ramsay to shame.
Vincent Cuvo
Groomsman
Truly a one of a kind person and a one of a kind friend. Vinny and Ian grew up playing ice hockey for the Bethlehem Blast travel program. Ian played on one team, Vinny played on the better one... The two of them were never friends but two kids always in passing. Until a random, New Years Eve party run-in, Vinny and Ian never spoke. Shortly after, Vinny interviewed for ADP, where Ian works and was hired on the same team only to have Ian become his mentor. A few months later in 2020, Vinny and his Fiancé, Sabrina Moll, moved in next door where for 2 years straight, through a quarantine, both couples became inseparable with an open door policy. Ian and Vinny coached a hockey team together and spent a ton of time bonding over hockey, video games, golf and literally anything else you could think of. A man who is passionate, loyal, and one Michelle and Ian are honored to have in their starting lineup for the night.
Shannon Davis
Bridesmaid
Shannon is a friend Michelle never knew she needed and a crowd surfing instructor who will be the first one to throw you up there. They were introduced through Kayla and when you meet her you'll know why we love her so dearly. She has the most love for her friends and a natural enthusiasm for life that will have you gravitating back to her all night. When she's not dominating the barber scene, you can find her taking over Brooklyn, in Canada with her other half, or spending the days with her family and favorite pups. She's a forever kind of friend and leaves an impression on anyone who crosses her path.
Michael Rivera
Groomsman
Quiet, smart, reserved... a silent professional with everything he does. Michael and Ian have become extremely close over the last 3 years. Michael started as a customer of the airsoft company and he and his brother, Christopher, quickly became a part of our team, brotherhood, and family. Mike has acted as Ian's guide through challenging videogames where Ian cannot make it on his own, and has been a staple 4th in Logan, Ian and Vinny's golf outings. Yeah.. he's good at that too... Mike is one of the most genuine people you will ever meet and will always put his friends and family first. Yet another incredible person that will stand by Ian and Michelle on their wedding day.
Addison Hartrum
Junior Bridesmaid
Addison is Michelle's niece and best friend. She's the most amazing and caring young lady you'll ever come across. Even though she's only 10, she has the biggest heart in the world and has always been someone Michelle can count on for a comfort hug or a day full of laughing when she needs it the most. She'll sing and dance like her life depends on it, her energy will take over any room she's in. As much as she makes fun of Michelle's dance moves, you can find her on the dance floor with us the whole night!
Grayson Hartrum
Ring Bearer
Known around these parts as, "G", Grayson is Michelle's nephew who always brings the energy and has an endless supply of love. A little guy that will make you cry from either laughter or from playing a bit rough, but will always be there to give you a hug at the end of the day. A true young gentleman that has been a pleasure to watch grow up. A young man who may not be the Ring Bearer we need, but the one we all deserve.
Emma Connolly
Flower Girl
Emma is Ian's niece and the daughter of Max and Kim. One of the sweetest little girls who is filled with so much energy and love. Emma loves riding horses, doing gymnastics, playing with everyone and everything. When you have a girl like her in your life you can't help but say “YES” to awarding a child of this caliber with the duties of being the flower girl. Emma's Uncle Rabbit and Aunt Mush cannot wait to have this little one share the day with us and spread an endless amount of joy to everyone she meets. See you on the dance floor, kid.
