Wedding Party

Zoe Stallings

Matron of Honor

Emily and Zoe went from sisters that were close in age and at each other's throats to friends that rely on one another. Gone are the days of endless drives to soccer practices (You're welcome Z) and dunking each other in the pool, replaced with jokes only we think are funny and sanity checks.

Ryan McSweeney

Best Man

Their moms grew up a street apart in Dorchester, and reconnected at Ridgevale Beach in the summer of 2002. 20 years later, Ryan and John have been together from swimming lessons at Oyster Pond, night fishing the Wychmere Harbor jetty, and Dave Matthews Band concerts.

Maggie Grasso

Maid of Honor

Maggie joined Emily's world at work, jumped right into all the chaos that entails, and it quickly became apparent that she would be a huge part of Emily and John's life in Boston. These days Maggie doesn't only push McGillicuddy's on Emily but is just as quick to go after John and drag them both out in Southie.

Geoffry Berryman

Groomsman

Geoff was the first friend John made at UMW, and instantly bonded over both their dads being construction project managers. After 4 years of breaking Madden and trips to Carl's, their friendship has continued with Cape trips, memes, and lots of back and forth about power tools and lawn mowers.

Margaret Grace

Bridesmaid

Emily and Margaret have spent many hours and countless seltzers together since Emily's first trip to Massachusetts. From North Beach Island to the Squire Parking lot to good times in Virginia, Margaret quickly became another sister on Emily's list.

Gabe Areia

Groomsman

John and Gabe spent many hours together on dirt road runs, UMASS lacrosse trips, and Hanscom Airport rides. Out of all the Groomsmen, Gabe has the coolest job- he is a commercial airline pilot. Be sure to ask about his favorite airport approaches.

Morgan James

Bridesmaid

Emily and Morgan became those overly involved college kids when they decided to become Orientation Leaders freshman year. Fast friends from the first training, they spent summers together in OL hell, drank cider at the river (well everywhere), and rode out the occasional snowstorm holed up in their apartment.

Michael Timpson

Groomsman

As co-founders of the Ocean City, MD Orange Crush Bucket Club, John and Michael always find time to rip it up together. Michael is always up for a Cookout trip-always making sure to take care of the big dog in the back (Geoff), Jeep rides, and the dozen oyster-mudslide combo.

Emmett and Holly Stallings

Emily's Parents

Leo and Mary Anne Grace

John's Parents

Dick Jackman

Officiant

Leo’s childhood best friend has been a constant presence in our lives- John’s for 20 years of July 4ths. After building a house a long 300 steps away, countless hours of games, shuffleboard, and many fantastic North Beach days have ensued. Everything Dickie does, he does well.
