Meet Chelsey! Chelsey is Natalie’s very first friend, and their journey together has been filled with endless giggles and cherished memories. From their preschool days, when she insisted on sharing snacks only with Natalie, to their strong bond today, Chelsey has been a constant source of support through every stage of life. Natalie knows that they will be friends for life. For those who haven't had the pleasure of knowing her, Chelsey’s passion for art shines brightly in everything she does. She is not only a fabulous mother and wife but also a true dancing queen! We are so grateful to have her by our side on this special day!
Sadie BurskySadie Bursky
Bridal Party
Meet Sadie! Natalie met Sadie years ago while they were both teachers at Rocky Hill Country Day School. Their shared love for educating kids brought them together, but their friendship has blossomed far beyond the classroom. Although they no longer work at Rocky Hill, their bond remains as strong as ever. Natalie and Sadie look forward to their after-work power walks, where they share laughter, vent about their days, and support each other through absolutely everything. Sadie is not just a friend; she’s a true partner in crime, always ready to uplift and inspire. When she’s not wrangling second graders, you can catch her inspiring others to get fit as a Lagree instructor, dedicating countless hours of her free time to helping people become the best versions of themselves! We are so excited to have Sadie by our side as we celebrate this special day!
Laura SundbergLaura Sundberg
Bridal Party
Meet Laura! Laura and Natalie quickly became inseparable friends, united by their passion for swimming. Whether they were competing on a club team or at the Division I level (woot woot!), they have always been each other's biggest supporters. Their friendship has been marked by countless unforgettable moments, celebrating each other's successes and cheering each other on no matter what. To know Laura in her early 20’s is to also know Natalie, as they navigated all the fun and adventures side by side. For those who haven’t had the pleasure of meeting Laura, she is the epitome of friendly, with so many passions - her most recent passion leading her to become a yoga instructor! We are thrilled to have her as part of our special day!
Kristin MitchellKristin Mitchell
Bridal Party
Meet Kristin! Natalie met Kristin at Rocky Hill Country Day School, and their friendship has been a joyful journey ever since. With a fantastic sense of humor that perfectly complements Natalie’s, Kristin never fails to bring laughter to every moment they share. Known for her honesty and constant support, Kristin is someone Natalie can confide in about anything. Their bond has only grown stronger as Kristin's son, Nick, has become very close with Natalie and Howie, adding another layer of connection to their friendship. To know Kristin is to know her love of family, her Golden Retriever, Doug, and of course, the Buffalo Bills! We are thrilled to have Kristin by our side on this special day!
Gena VeneisGena Veneis
Bridal Party
Meet Gena! Natalie first crossed paths with Gena a few years back when she began dating her brother, Chris. Since then, Gena has naturally become an integral part of the Joseph family, sharing countless summer days by the David’s Way pool and creating cherished memories together - ice-cold martinis in hand. Natalie looks forward to spending time with Gena, whether it’s fancy dinners in Manhattan or a laid-back weekend at the condo in New Hampshire. A dedicated lawyer based in NYC, Gena’s knack for offering thoughtful advice (especially when it comes to wedding planning!) is one of the many qualities Natalie is most thankful to have found in Gena. We are incredibly grateful to have Gena by our side as we celebrate this special day!
Chris JosephChris Joseph
Groom’s Party
Meet Chris! As Natalie’s brother, Howie had no choice but to meet Chris, and as luck would have it, they hit it off like old friends. As an only child, Howie felt a sense of relief to have such a laid-back brother-in-law. Chris welcomed Howie into the Joseph family with open arms, making the transition feel effortless. Howie truly admires Chris’s dedicated work ethic and impressive career success, and he appreciates the constant support that Chris offers. Howie couldn’t be happier to call Chris family. We look forward to having Chris by our side on our big day!
Luke O’roukeLuke O’rouke
Groom’s Party
Meet Luke! Funny enough, Howie met Luke in high school through another groomsman. They continue to bond (and smack talk) over their shared love for all things Barstool Sports and the Boston Celtics. Howie truly appreciates the constant support and understanding that Luke offers. If Luke isn’t with the boys, he is with his partner Lexi, and their children. Howie admires Luke’s ability to put family first, and with their shared interests and strong brotherhood, Howie is glad to have Luke in his corner. We are so grateful to have Luke by our side on our wedding day!

Groom’s Party
Meet Alex! Alex is one of Howie's oldest friends. Their journey began in elementary school, and since then, they've remained best friends. As the ultimate connector of their friend group, Alex has a talent for bringing people together. It was just this year that Natalie decided to surprise Howie with a somewhat last-minute birthday celebration and within minutes, Alex had the crew together, and a plan for everything. Not only do Howie and Alex share a strong friendship, but they also work together, and Howie is excited to see Alex take on a new role at their company. We feel incredibly grateful to have Alex by our side as we celebrate one of the most important days of our life!

Meet Josh! Josh has been a long-time friend of Howie since their elementary school days. Their friendship took shape on the baseball field and basketball court, where they made plenty of great memories. Over the years, they've stayed close, enjoying many adventures together, including their annual Saratoga trip, which is always packed with golf and good times. In Josh’s spare time he enjoys playing softball, and during basketball season he can be spotted at the AMP routing for the PC Friars! We feel so lucky to have Josh with us on this special day!
Brandon PotvinBrandon Potvin
Groom’s Party
Meet Brandon! Brandon comes all the way to us from CT (so far for us Rhode Islander’s!) where he lives with his wife, Leigh Ann. Once a football coach to Howie at Becker College in Worcester, MA, their journey together took them to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where they lived together, and worked at the same gym. It was during that time that they had some of the best times. Brandon is known for his outgoing personality and adventurous spirit, always up for anything. His determination in his work is inspiring, and Howie appreciates how Brandon consistently gives solid advice, whether it’s about sports, life, or navigating the ups and downs. We are so excited to have Brandon by our side on this special day!
