Wedding Party
Victoria Bartow
Maid of Honor
Megan met Victoria in graduate school when they were assigned to co-teach together in Boston Public Schools. What started as a science-teaching partnership quickly became a lifetime friendship rooted in mutual admiration, belly-deep laughter, and countless margaritas.
Zach Robarge
Best Man
Ryan and Megan had the privilege of living with Zach for seven years (Ryan has even more than that). Through that time, they played more board games than could be fathomed, navigated COVID as three teachers, and supported each other through the heartbreak that was the end of Game of Thrones.
Kevin Murphy
Wedding Party
One of the first things Megan asked for in this life was a "baby brover". And though their mother always referred to the pair as "the sun and the moon" they are more similar now than ever and love spending time together talking at volumes that make Ryan and Meg uncomfortable when they're in public.
Erin Caster
Wedding Party
Ryan's sister Erin is one of the kindest and most loving people you will ever meet. She has always had an intense dedication to those she cares for and level of compassion for others that Ryan continues to admire. Ryan and Megan are so excited to have her positivity and radiant energy with them on their special day!
Hana Caster
Wedding Party
While a six year old Ryan may have been somewhat disappointed when he found out that he was getting another sister rather than a puppy ("But I already have one of those!"), Hana's energy and tenacity truly completes the Caster Clan. She will always go above and beyond for others and chases after her goals with a relentless drive that is awe inspiring.
Megan Shepard
Wedding Party
Kevin's fiance Meg is one of the greatest things to happen to the Murphy family and Megan and Ryan consider her and Kevin some of their greatest friends. The Megans love sending reels and talking books; the pair are truly thrilled to have finally succeeded in getting both Ryan and Kevin into the Maasverse and to join their meme thread.
Mary Brennan
Wedding Party
Honorary Third Murphy child for as long as anyone can remember, Mary Brennan ("MB") has always been one of Megan's truest friends. From kids church at St. Mary's, to weekly pizza, pasta, and salad dates at the Wonder Bar, to trips around the world, Mary is a friend that is able to always pick up where you last left off and show up exactly when it matters most.
Joe Kain
Wedding Party
One of Ryan's best friends from high school happened to also end up at UMass! After joining the UMass Dynamics with Ryan, the pair quickly became friends with Megan and Georgi and the group proceeded to spend the rest of college laughing, listening through the Beatles discography in mono, and spending way too much money at Cumbies.
Ken Mello
Wedding Party
Ken is one of the most genuinely good humans Megan and Ryan know. He is also one of the fastest monks that someone could play Dungeons and Dragons with. Ken and Megan were assigned the same mentor teacher when they both started teaching and quickly became close friends despite several years of her pestering him to watch Star Wars: Rebels.
Joey Grabowski
Wedding Party
Megan and Joey somehow only actually worked together for a year but have spent the past several meeting for Friday teacher drinks (with Ryan, when they can convince him to come!). A real-life Ted Lasso, Joey is an incredibly kind person and Megan and Ryan consider themselves lucky to have in him a friend that loves D&D, music (and musicals), Lord of the Rings, and dogs (just like them).
Georgi Goldstein
Officiant
Arguably the friend that is best able to love Megan and Ryan as both separate humans and as a team of two, Georgi is the definition of "found family". Megan and Ryan are completely honored that she has agreed to usher them into married life, as a testament to the love shared between the three. With the voice of an angel and the soul of pure sunshine, Georgi's radiance is sure to make their wedding an even more beautiful day.
