Heather & Patrick
Wedding Party
Connor Patterson
Best Man
Pat has known Connor for about seven years. They met in a required English class for all students at Queens College. Connor was Pat’s first and best friend made in college. They like to talk about music and politics and travel to weird places together for a good cause.
Tara Brown
Maid of Honor
Tara is Heather’s younger stister and one of the two Maids of Honor. Tara has followed Heather through jobs at Dunkin Donuts and Fig and Olive and impressively survived not one, but two cabin trips with her crazy friends. We are very happy she’s here to help through the madness!
Joe Fauci
Groomsman
Joe and Pat have been friends for years. Joe likes to give Pat a hard time but Pat loves him anyway. Joe is a nice guy who will always go out of his way for you. Heather and Joe can talk about the Jets being terrible and Pat couldn’t care less.
Kelly Brown
Maid of Honor
Kelly is Heather’s youngest sister and the other Maid of Honor. Kelly is not only up for the task of being one of Heather’s Maids of Honor, but is also going to make our wedding cake! (Funfetti, of course!)
Joe Brague
Groomsman
Joe is married to Pat’s sister, Katie. He’s probably the smartest person in the room. Joe has always shown Pat and Heather a good time and made family gatherings and holidays more enjoyable and fun.
Katie Kennedy-Brague
Bridesmaid
Katie is Pat’s older sister and fellow dog lover. Katie, Joe, Pat and Heather always try to make time to see each other when we can. We know that it is tough coming in from Pittsburgh, but we appreciate them making the trip. Any special day wouldn’t be complete without Katie and Joe here to share it with us!
Jordan Schantz
Groomsman
Jordan also grew up with Heather and Pat. He’s an avid Trump supporter who loves guns. He is a registered Republican who votes with the Tea Party. He’s the worst. Heather agrees.
Laura Massetti
Bridesmaid
Laura and Heather met in a cab on the way to a sorority rush party back in 2010 and since then were inseperable through college. Laura and Heather can go without talking for a while but then always end up on long phone conversations to catch up on life (and maybe gossip a little). We are excited to have her celebrate the day with us!
Shai Zilka
Groomsman
Shai went to prom with Heather but Pat forgives him. They have been friends since high school. Shai is one of our most hospitable friends who will always go out of his way to make sure you are having a good time. He says things how they are.
Brianne Cunningham
Bridesmaid
Brianne met Pat and Heather when they all worked at Dunkin Donuts together back in 2007. Brianne has shared countless memories with us throughout the last 10 years and has always been there when we need her; especially when we call her at all hours to ask questions about her god-dog Pablo.
Mike Sullivan
Groomsman
Pat and Heather have been friends with Mike for years. Mike always knows how to have a good time. He is a stark liberal who will tell you so. Pat and Mike have spent some good times together, including in the hospital when Heather drove to another state to pick us up.
Inna (almost) Garnek
Bridesmaid
Inna and Heather met when they both worked at Fig and Olive back in 2012. Inna was Heather’s travel companion to Peru where they hiked for 4 days and 3 nights (with no shower!) the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. When it came time for Pat to propose he enlisted Inna’s help with the ring selection (that Heather LOVES). So thank you, Inna
Nick Murray
Groomsman
Nick, Pat, and Heather have been friends for over a decade. They grew up together and spent many years getting into trouble. Nick’s house was always a fun place to be growing up. All of the festivities throughout the years have been held at Nick’s place.
Rachel Greene
Bridesmaid
Rachel and Heather also met at Fig and Olive in 2013. Rachel, Heather, and Pat love to go out to any NYC event ranging from concerts in the park to 5k color runs (well maybe Pat doesn’t love that one). Rachel is always only a phone call away when we need her and was definitely won the most excited reaction to the bridesmaid ask!
David Hassan
Groomsman
Dave and Pat played in a band together for years. Dave is probably the most genuine person you’ll talk to. Dave’s got a heart of gold and will always go out of his way for you. He also has trouble with words sometimes.
Meghan McCafferty
Bridesmaid
Meghan and Heather met back in 5th grade at Wantagh Elementary. Through the years they have been on various sports teams together, atthended proms, graduations, birthdays and anything else you can think of. Meghan has always been a part of the important moments and of course this one is no different!
Chris Owens
Officiant
Pat and Chris became friends in freshman year of high school. They sat next to each other in English class. Chris has been making Pat crack up ever since. Pat can always count on him…when he answers his phone. Chris is also the first person that knew Heather and Pat were dating.
