Erika & Alex
Wedding Party
Sarah Gauvin
Matron of Honor
Sarah has been one of my bestest friends since elementary school! Our friendship really took off in the 4th grade and hasn't slowed down since. Through middle school, different high schools, moving away for college and her detour down to Georgia for a few years, we are closer then ever and have remained the best of friends. I don't know where I'd be without her!!
Matthew Rivet
Best Man
I’ve known Matt since 2001 when we started as freshmen in high school, we both went to the University of New Hampshire, and he was my first post-college roommate. We spent three years living together in Somerville and made some great memories in our little 3rd floor apartment. Our friendship has only grown stronger over the years and I am honored to have him as one of my best men. Matt recently moved to Denver with his wife and Colorado has quickly become one of Erika and I’s favorite places to visit and we pretty much plan our next visit out to them before we’ve left to head back to Boston.
Erika Lunardi
Bridesmaid
Collectively known as "the Erika's", this girl has always been my go-to ride or die best friend. Erika has always been the social butterfly of the group and is everyone's friend! She knows how to have a good time, especially for our birthdays, which we have spent many years celebrating together!!! We share a name, a birthday week, and we have chose the same profession, she's basically my other half.
Ben Roy
Best Man
Similarly with Matt, I’ve known Ben since we were freshmen in high school in 2001. While we attended different colleges, we always found ourselves together during mid-year and summer breaks. I’ve made some great memories with Ben whether it was celebrating Fourth of July’s or on one of our many vacation getaways (Maine, Disney, and the Caribbean to name a few!). Like Matt, he’s always been there to lend a helping hand or ear whenever I needed it.
Deanna Strzempek
Bridesmaid
Deanna is my cousin and has also been one of my closest friends throughout my life! Our family is extremely close, and Deanna and I have always shared that bond. We share a love of family get togethers, trips, creating secret codes, Starbucks, and surprising GUnit with meals (thanksgiving) and gifts (towels).
Kyle Bruen
Groomsman
I first met Kyle my freshman year at UNH. Following his graduation, Kyle headed to the west coast and lived in San Diego from 2008 – 2016. Its hard to believe he was gone for that long because our friendship picked up right where it left off when he moved back to Boston and it seems like he’s been here all along. I know I can always count on Kyle to be my copilot on a flight or to schedule an impromptu hockey trip!
Kristen Zina
Bridesmaid
Kristen is Alex's sister and my future sister-in-law! I only have one brother, so I am super excited to be gaining a sister in Kristen. Family is extremely important to Alex and I, so it is only natural that our siblings be a part of our wedding day. I can't wait to start building memories with my new family!
Jared Kilroy
Groomsman
As a resident of Zurich, Switzerland, my in-person time with Erika’s brother has been somewhat limited but the few times I have gotten to see him in person and not over Facetime have been amazing. Always up for an adventure (check out his Instagram page!) I was able to take him flying with me the last time he came home to the U.S. and I’m looking forward to his next visit this summer! As Erika said, family is very important to both of us and I couldn’t imagine not having our siblings up there with us when we take our vows!
Nicole Trecartin
Bridesmaid
Nicole and I have also been friends since elementary school. Nikki and I used to butt heads, literally, when we were younger because we are both strong, stubborn, and natural born leaders. She's always been right there when I needed her, without blinking an eye. Life has taken her to Thailand and Bali for most of our adult lives, but we have always stayed in touch and haven't missed a beat!
