Wedding Party

Meet our friends and family who will be walking down the aisle with us!

Julie Desforge

Maid of Honor

Julie is Nicole's cousin who is more like a sister. From choreographing dances at family parties, playing dress up and wearing the same outfit from ages 2-15 they have always been close.


Danielle Allan

Bridesmaid

Danielle and Nicole met in high school when they found themselves in the same Spanish class. Nicole thought Danielle would be upset they had the same Spanish name and Danielle loved it because when the teacher called out their Spanish name Nicole always answered. A terrible Spanish project and 12+ years later they are still the best of friends.

Steph Caljouw

Bridesmaid

Steph and Nicole met and became roommates in 2018. They became fast friends while living with Nick and Brandon’s (Nick's best man) shenanigans inside their small 2 bedroom apartment. Being confined to an apartment during a pandemic helps you figure out who your friends are!


Alex Fruci

Bridesmaid

Fruci and Nicole met at Bridgewater State University where they lived together for two years. They bonded over video games and hanging out with friends they've known since freshmen year. Fruci was there when Nick and Nicole met and has has always been a strong support system for Nicole.

Valerie Jackson

Bridesmaid

Valerie and Nicole have been friends since the 4th grade. They stayed friends through the awkward middle school phase, attending the same college and entering yet another awkward phase in their lives. Nicole was lucky to stand next to Valerie on her big day and is looking forward to Valerie doing the same for her.


Melissa Kane-Racca

Bridesmaid

Melissa is Nick's sister and quickly became Nicole's friend. We all enjoy our yearly ski trips with Nick's dad where the boys ski and the girls hang in and enjoy the fireplace and mimosas. Nicole is excited to officially have Melissa as a sister!

Brandon Manning

Best Man

Brandon, aka "Bubbah", and Nick have known each other since their 2nd grade baseball team. They were coached by none other than Bubbah's dad, Big Jim. The two have been close ever since, spending countless nights playing video games (sorry Nicole and Steph), attending BU games, Bruins games, Patriot games, and Red Sox games. Growing up Bubbah and Nick may or may not have gotten each other in trouble with teachers, both in harmless fun (1000 sentences worth to be exact) and not so harmless. Bubbah and Nick decided to get an apartment with a couple other friends in Bridgewater, which of course led to Nick meeting Nicole.


Zach Zupanick

Groomsman

Zach is Nick's cousin, and the two have been close for pretty much their entire lives. Zach was also on the same 2nd grade baseball team as Nick and Bubbah (Go Devil Rays). Zach and Nick also got into their fair share of shenanigans (if someone says shenanigans one more time...) both in school and outside of it. These two also got to share a workplace that neither one of them wants to remember, aka Red Robin. Zach may have moved to South Carolina for a few years, but the two still remained close with Nick attempting to help Zach move down to SC if it weren't for car trouble, and spending a few vacations down there. Zach is also the self appointed wedding Party Meister.

Tim Loftus

Groomsman

Tim and Nick have been close friends ever since Miss Waterman's kindergarten class, even if Tim had a staring problem. Of course becoming close was very easy when you live in the same neighborhood growing up. The two spent countless days hanging out at each others houses after school playing sports in the street or backyards (It was a save). Tim and Nick stayed close even with Tim attending Umass Amherst, since it gave Nick plenty of chances to visit a big D1 university that he did not have the pleasure of attending himself, and for no other reason whatsoever.


Chris Kane

Groomsman

Christopher is Nick's older brother. Despite these two being polar opposites in so many ways, the two have kept that brotherly love, even if Chris tried to tell Nick he was adopted by the dog when they were little. Chris may be living in New York, where most of his friends didn't even think Nick was real, and Nick here in Massachusetts it doesn't take away from the childhood memories of making home movies (written, directed, and starring Chris Kane). Nick even got to share a first for his older brother Chris on the family ski trip, with Chris finally shotgunning a St Louis Smoothie.

Brian Racca

Groomsman

Brian, aka "I drove my chevy to the levy but the levy was Bry" and Nick first met when Brian made the dangerous decision to date Nick's sister Melissa back in 2013. All it took was one obscure Family Guy reference for Nick to realize that this guy was alright, and the two only grew closer. Brian and Melissa got married in 2018, where more importantly B-Ry and Nick became brothers. Since then the two have got into trading whiskey for each others birthdays, playing fantasy football together (Brian probably wants to forget), hit the slopes of Bretton Woods along side Nick's dad, and brother Chris on the yearly Kane ski trip, and making it out to the gun range.


Alex Neville

Groomsman

Alex is Nicole's younger brother. Nick and Alex met 6+ years ago when Nicole first introduced Nick to the family. Nick and Nicole used to visit Alex at college and now Alex visits them in their new home. Nick is thrilled to have someone who loves to give Nicole a hard time just as much as he does. Nicole isn't a fan that they gang up on her, but is happy that the two get along so well. Nick even had the pleasure of helping Alex celebrate his 21st birthday.

Henry Bates

Ring Bearer


Evelyn Bates

Flower Girl

Siena Racca

Flower Girl
