Wedding Party
Dr. Kristin Visco
Bride
Kristin, the glowing bride, is the kind of person who could rival Princess Leia in both brilliance and heart. Smart, kind, and hardworking, she has a knack for making everyone feel welcome in her home—whether it’s through her warm hospitality or her tremendous cooking (her kitchen might as well be the Cantina, minus the brawls). As a dedicated partner, wonderful daughter, and a reliable podiatrist, Kristin literally keeps people on their feet, bringing balance to the galaxy one step at a time. Now, she’s ready to embark on the greatest adventure of all—marrying Mike and building a lifelong journey with him and the girls. Together, they’re set to conquer whatever the galaxy throws their way, lightsabers optional.
Mike Redmond
Groom
Mike, the happy groom, is a hard worker and a true master of deflection, often blaming his questionable outfit choices on his color blindness—a Jedi mind trick he’s perfected over the years. A lover of music, vinyl records, video games, pro wrestling, and all things Boston sports, Mike is the kind of guy who would challenge Darth Vader to a game of Mario Kart and somehow make it a close race. In Kristin, Mike has found his Princess Leia—a strong, loving partner who not only adores him but also shares an incredible bond with his daughters, Penelope and Flora. Marrying his best friend feels like the ultimate victory, and Mike is ready to take on the galaxy, one adventure at a time, by Kristin’s side. The Force is strong with this one!
Ed Redmond
Best Man
Ed, one of Mike’s older brothers, has played a key role in shaping some of Mike’s greatest passions—drums, rock ‘n’ roll, and video games. Over the years, the two have bonded at countless rock concerts, cheered on the Patriots during multiple Super Bowls at Redmond’s Tavern, and shared a few hazy beers along the way. Mike couldn’t imagine his big day without Ed by his side, and he’s thrilled to have him there to celebrate.
Chris Redmond
Best Man
Chris, one of Mike’s older brothers, has shared plenty of memorable moments with him—most involving a fair amount of chaos and laughs. On the golf course, they’ve played countless rounds, although “played” might be generous considering the number of balls they’ve donated to water hazards and nearby woods. Off the course, they’ve become connoisseurs of local breweries (or at least the beer flights) and have cheered their way through countless New England sports championships—because, let’s face it, being a Boston fan is practically a part-time job. Mike couldn’t be happier to have Chris by his side for the big day, especially since he’s already proven himself great at finding lost golf balls…and beer.
Mikey Visco
Groomsman
Mikey is Kristin’s younger brother. Mikey is a tall, gentle giant that always reminds him of Kristaps Porzingis. He is a great brother to Kristin and it will be fantastic having him as part of the big day.
Shannon Glen
Matron of Honor
Shannon is one of Kristin’s best friends, a title earned through years of shared adventures, mischief, and probably a few questionable decisions along the way. They met in college, where their bond began over late-night study sessions and even later-night escapades, and carried that energy straight into New York City—and eventually across the globe. Together, they’ve tackled tasting menus from New York to Italy, sampling dishes so fancy they had to Google half the ingredients. Kristin had the honor of being Shannon’s maid of honor at her wedding, where she perfected her bouquet-holding and tear-dabbing skills. Now, she’s thrilled to return the favor, having Shannon by her side to laugh, cry, and possibly make a run for the dessert table on this incredible day.
Tara Allegretto
Bridesmaid
Tara is a fellow Stag from Fairfield University and one of Kristin’s first college partners-in-crime. They met on the “Women in Math and Science” floor, where they spent countless hours bonding over cell bio and questioning their life choices during all-nighters. Between shared struggles with lab reports and deciphering impossible diagrams, their friendship grew stronger (even if their sleep schedules didn’t). Kristin couldn’t be happier to have Tara by her side on her big day—this time with no textbooks, no deadlines, and only the fun kind of chemistry to celebrate!
Kristina Ruff
Bridesmaid
Kristina and Kristin first crossed paths during their residency days in New York City, a time filled with long hospital shifts, caffeine-fueled marathons, and the occasional “what have we gotten ourselves into?” moments. Despite the chaos, they managed to squeeze in plenty of laughs and fun, proving that even in the toughest times, a good friendship (and maybe a good cocktail) can make all the difference. Speaking of cocktails, Kristina is Kristin’s go-to mixologist and fellow travel enthusiast, who has been slyly—and successfully—turning Kristin into a full-fledged Disney adult. Kristin had the honor of being part of Kristina’s wedding day, and now she’s thrilled to return the favor, knowing Kristina will bring just the right mix of laughter, love, and maybe a perfectly shaken old fashioned to her big day!
Penelope Redmond
Bridesmaid
Penelope, Mike’s oldest daughter, is almost 12 years old and ready to embark on her next big adventure: middle school this fall! A natural performer, she loves singing, acting, and bringing a little extra magic to every stage she steps on. Her passion for history could rival even Belle’s love for books—if there’s a story to uncover, Penelope will dive right in. Smart, energetic, and full of joy, Penelope is absolutely thrilled to be part of the wedding. She’s already dreaming of her moment in the spotlight, ready to add her own sparkle to this fairy-tale day—because every princess deserves her chance to shine!
Flora Redmond
Bridesmaid
Flora, Mike’s younger daughter, is almost 10 years old and eagerly anticipating her grand entrance into 5th grade this fall. With a passion for gymnastics, she flips and tumbles with the grace of a young Elastigirl, always ready to save the day with her acrobatic skills. Her love for dogs rivals that of Cruella de Vil—minus the fur obsession, of course. When she’s not singing her heart out like a modern-day Ariel, she’s diving into the digital realms of Roblox, crafting adventures that would make even Wreck-It Ralph proud. Super excited to be part of the big day, Flora is ready to sprinkle a little pixie dust and add her own Disney magic to the celebration, making it a day to remember in this happily ever after.
Beth Stacy
Officiant
Beth, Mike’s sister, will be officiating Kristin and Mike’s wedding, making her the ultimate multitasker—sister, officiant, and probably the only one who can still remember the lyrics to every New Kids on the Block song. Mike fondly recalls the endless hours of NKOTB music blasting from Beth’s room, a soundtrack to their shared childhood. He also remembers her internship at the front of the Magic Kingdom, where she regaled him with tales of navigating the secret tunnels beneath the park—Disney’s own version of the underground railroad, but with more churros and less escaping. Mike has always looked up to his big sister and is thrilled to have her officiate their big day, ensuring that their wedding ceremony will be as memorable as a NKOTB reunion tour.
