Nick & Carly
Wedding Party
Molly Anderson
Maid of Honor
My right hand woman! I first met Molly in college through my friend/teammate and bridesmaid, Kristina. We've had the best memories together like summers at her Cape house, living together in Quincy, Tortuga Fest and so many more that i'll cherish forever. Not sure where I'd be without her in my life!
Molly Silven
Bridesmaid
Aka Blond Molly, we first met at the Gymnastics Training Center right before high school. We shared the ups and downs of the sport of gymnastics together (literally, physically and mentally) but always kept each other laughing no matter the situation. We're the only ones who can quote every line in Scary movie and still think it's funny after the millionth time. We don't see each other as often as we'd like but when we get together, it's like we're right where we left off. She too is a Covid bride and had to postpone, so we are looking forward to her wedding in June!
Kristina Small
Bridesmaid
Kristina (aka CK), one of my best friends and teammates from Springfield College. I can always go to Kristina for her honest opinion and advice for anything. We lived together at SC sophomore-senior year, and I could not have gotten through the College gymnastics days without her. She's a great mom to the two cutest kids, Madelyn and Oliver and is such a wholehearted person inside and out. I'm lucky to have such a great friend like Kristina and so thankful our lives crossed paths!
Stacey Jaros
Bridesmaid
Stacey, the older sister I never had but always wanted. It all started at Gymnastics Training Center where we quickly learned we were both from Franklin and would be attending the same high school together. I still remember walking into her honors psychology class by mistake as a freshman, she was a senior HA. After high school, we both went on to different colleges to do gymnastics and she even lived out of state for a few years, but I'm so glad we remained friends over all these years. She's one of the most adventurous, courageous, free spirited and loyal people I know and is basically my hero.
Amanda Rabideau
Bridesmaid
Amanda, my soon to be sistah- in-law. I remember being so excited when I learned that Nick had a sister, but little did I know how close we'd be. She lived with us for a few summers in Dorchester while interning at her now company in Boston. It was so nice to have a female back in the house since I had been used to living with Nick and some of his friends over the course of the few years :) She's the best dog auntie to Boomer, sister in law and friend I could ask for. Can't wait to make it official :)
Erika Strachman
Bridesmaid
Erika and I met after college through Kristina Small and quickly realized we both share a passion for music, concerts, summertime, the beach, partying and much more! We were roommates along with Molly Anderson at our apartment on Liberty Street in Quincy and have been close ever since. I've had a lot of great memories with Erika over the years, especially our annual trip to Tortuga Music Festival (which we havn't gone to in 2 years now with covid etc), but I can't wait for more memories to come! She's a great friend who is even gets to share her birthday with us on our wedding day. Don't forget to wish her a happy birthday!
Rico
Best Man
Although his name is also Nick, he goes by Rico ever since we met in a class where there was 6 Nicks and he decided he was too cool to go by Nick any more. Even though he may apparently not care for my name, he has remained one of my best friends ever since we met. My family taught him a thing or two about hockey on the backyard rinks, but he invented the patented Rico-Round goal which many NHL players use to this day. He and I also are arguably the two best luck charms in all of New England, attending arguably every single one of the greatest sports moments be it Bruins coming back down 4-1 in game 7 against Toronto, countless Patriots wins, and even keeping up the rituals when watching at home.
Matt McLean
Groomsman
Jonny and I always thought we couldn't have it any better on our little street in Longmeadow until our good friend Matty decided to move just a few houses down. Of course it helped he had a pool, but ever since the day he moved in we have been good friends with no looking back. From whacking it around on the golf courses, to moving to the city together attending our share of Patriots Bruins and Red Sox games, to even moving in together with 7 dudes and a dog, we've always been good friends.
Drew Mackenzie
Groomsman
When Drew moved to my hometown, my first introductions to him were eating lunches together during school and quoting Anchorman and Dodgeball pretty much exclusively. Eventually only quoting movies did lead to a friendship. Drew and I both loved college so much we decided to go for an extra year. And once college was done, we still didn't want to face the real world which worked perfect as Drew's parents moved to St Thomas and were kind enough to invite me and show me around a few times which will always be some of my favorite memories. Drew also was our roommate when we got Boomer, so even though Boomer gets more excited when he sees Drew then when he sees us, Drew has always been a big part of our life and a great friend.
Jonny Kolb
Groomsman
Be it a blessing or a curse depending who you ask, The Rabideau's moved in next door to the Kolb's before I could even walk and Jonny and I have been friend's as long as I can remember. The Rabideau's had the best video games on the block which kept Jonny coming back but he was a key member of all the pick up baseball and RHL hockey games growing up. We each broke our share of windows with foul balls and shots of the posts, but it was all part of a love of the game. From riding our bikes to school together to Jonny driving us in the snow and rain with no functioning windshield wipers, Jonny has always been a great friend.
Wil Mackenzie
Groomsman
Perhaps better known as front row Willy, ever since Wil and I became friends it became our calling card to be seen at concerts at sporting events in the front row, even if that wasn't necessarily the seat we paid for. You may have seen us on tv front row together at a Red Sox Yankees Sunday night prime time game or next to Kenny Chesney at Countryfest, and of course with Eddie Vedder at Pearl Jam concert, what could be better? Even if it isn't the big time, you can find Wil front row at local college bars like Loretta's cause age is just a number as Wil would say which is what makes him such a great friend.
Corey Flynn
Groomsman
Future Bro in Law. Hoping Bruce doesn’t schedule a concert for the wedding day so that he will be able to come to the wedding! Granted if Bruce is playing that day the whole wedding might just get moved to a Bruce tailgate instead !
Brett Rabideau
Groomsman
Little baby bro! Enough said!
Mike Rabideau
Groomsman
Oldest youngest baby bro ! Enough said !
