Madeline & Eamonn
Wedding Party
Claire Pepple
Maid of Honor
Claire has been preparing for the role of Maid of Honor since, well, birth! From calling Madeline "Mimi" as a child to calling her exclusively Mads for the better part of the last 20 years, Claire is most excited to call her Mrs. Collins starting September 25th. While they've annoyed each other endlessly over the years, a singular feeling remains the same for Claire - one of absolute adoration, respect, and love for the amazing older sister and best friend that Madeline has always been. Eamonn has been a part of the family for a long time now and the love he's shown for Mads and our family has only solidified how sure Claire feels that he is the one. Claire is beyond elated to be watching Mads marry her soulmate and for the two of them to become two less fish in the sea!
Nick Martin
Best Man
Eamonn and Nick met when they were both graced with being in Mrs. Jackson’s split grade class together in elementary school. Their fate was sealed when Nick was placed in the care of the before-school daycare at Karissa’s house, and they hit it off almost immediately. Their ridiculous hijinks, uncontrollable riffing, and occasional getting confused with one another led to an everlasting friendship (that sometimes got them in trouble).
Kaitlyn Olson
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Katie met while in a variety of honors classes at Northshore Junior High and their friendship has continued since then. Through many adventures over the year including a Quidditch theme birthday, a Ke$ha and LMFAO concert and too many sleepovers, Secret Santa's and happy hours to count they have remained close.
Bryn Collins
Bridesmaid
Growing up Bryn loved getting to play with Eamonn and his friends, it always made her feel like the coolest little sister and led to lots of laughter. He also imposed a "big brother tax" on Bryn and Ailish's Halloween candy, which led to lots of fights. And laughter, years later. Madeline couldn't have found a more loving, fun and fun-loving partner to be brutally teased by for the rest of their lives.
Kelsey Lebard
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Kelsey have been friends for it seems like forever! Their parents live down the street from one another and from school to softball they have grown up together. Kelsey has been so lucky to have a friend like Madeline in her life throughout every milestone and she cannot wait to see her get married!
Ailish Collins
Bridesmaid
Ailish is Eamonn's youngest sister. When Ailish was brought home from the hospital, Eamonn was disappointed to find out that he had another sister, but they have since sorted out their differences.
Carrie Cutler
Bridesmaid
Madeline and Carrie became fast friends when they met around a lunch table at the beginning of 7th grade. They bonded over having the world's worst math teacher and the general grossness of being in Jr. high. Over the next decade (and then some) of school dances, slumber parties, football games, birthdays, band concerts and DQ afterparties, New Years eves, secret santas, and many many servings of chicken dip, they have grown to be lifelong besties. Carrie is truly honored and excited to be by Madeline's side as she and Eamonn begin this new chapter.
Noah Swain
Groomsman
Strangely enough Noah was friends with Eamonn for two years before he ever met him in person, he only knew Eamonn as a oddly deep voiced teenager that played games with him on Xbox. Thankfully, they eventually met in the real world through school, and the goofball became one of Noah's most dear friends.
Camille Sasson
Bridesmaid
Camille has known Madeline since elementary school. They became friends while sitting next to each other in the clarinet section of the school band. Even though Madeline tickled Camille during class every day for years, they became close friends for life! She’s so excited to be part of this special day and to see how Madeline and Eamonn’s partnership and love continue to grow for many many years to come
Grant Azure
Groomsman
Eamonn and Grant usually ended up in the same math classes in junior high. It wasn’t long until Eamonn was inviting Grant to his great LAN parties and we’ve been good friends ever since.
Jaqueline Holmes
Bridesmaid
Jaqueline met Madeline around 8th grade in the back of a history class, where they probably spent more time laughing than learning. 12 years later and too many adventures to count later, here they are!
Isaac Smith
Groomsman
Isaac was introduced to Eamonn by Noah in college. They regularly started playing games and have been buds ever since. All Isaac really wanted to do was play some Magic, now he's in a wedding!
Kyle Hancher
Officiant
It was a decade ago that Kyle met Madeline and Eamonn on the football field as compatriots of the Inglemoor High School marching band; Eamonn a member of the notoriously rowdy trumpet section, Madeline a high-stepping master of an upperclassmen squad. As members of different graduating classes ('11, '12 and '13), their paths rarely crossed in school, but years of marching band, high school newspaper, and cross-country visits have kept them all in touch and closer than ever.
