Wedding Party
Amelia
Matron of Honor
Rae's Although I met Amelia the most recently out of every one she is someone that I've come to rely on. I know I can share my insecurities with her and receive honest feed back. She's helped me out of a pinch on more than one occasion when I needed someone's helping hand and I appreciate all that she has done for me. I'm so happy to have her as my sister-in-law.
Amy
Bridesmaid
Rae's Amy is my cousin, when we where young we summered at the same campground. I have many fond memories spending time with that part of my family there. She took me to my first real concert to see Brittney Spears circus tour. It just so happens that on September 22 2012, Amy invited Nick and I to our first big event as a couple, it was her and her husband Josh's wedding. (Happy anniversary! Hope you enjoy the party.) Amy has always been someone I can turn to if I need someone to call.
Noah
Bridesman
Rae's The goofball of my group that's always down to earth. Noah and I met in college and bonded over a particularly awful class. We don't get to hang out that much but when we do we always find our selves laughing and joking around. “Deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised.” a reference I think Noah will appreciate, though I may not say it enough your friendship is special to me and I'm all the better for it.
Cheri
Bridesmaid
Rae's Cheri and I met in college during Ballroom dancing. Yes the very same club that Nick and I got acquainted through. Cheri's years of dance were one of the things that helped me learn the steps to the waltz. One of my favorite memories with Cheri was the trip I took with her and her family to Acadia National Park. The week we spent there hiking and taking in the scenery is one of my most precious memories. Cheri is always quick to help out, and I know that I can count on her when push comes to shove to show up for me when I need someone.
Mike W
Best Man
Nick's I could not ask for a better older brother and role model than Mike. Mike has been a constant positive influence on my life even when we acted like siblings typically do. Throughout our childhood, we have shared interests, hobbies and even a friend or two. As we have grown, new memories have been made along the way with trips, sporting events and concerts. I may not know what the future holds but I hope that Mike will always be there for me and with me like he is today.
Mike S
Bridesman
Nick's A long time ago on a bus route in Ware, two nerds bonded over a shared interest in video games, Star Wars and all things nerdy. Since seventh grade, Mike and Nick have been near inseparable despite any physical distance between them whether that was Nick going to college or Mike moving to Florida. The games may have changed over the years (Mike, do you still have your copy of Wario Land?) but the friendship never has, I just couldn't picture this moment without Mike being there too.
Alayna
Bridesmaid
Nick's One of two friends that I still have from high school, Alayna and I unfortunately fell out of touch after graduation. Although we bumped into each other a few times during our college years, we didn’t really reconnect until Rae and I saw Alayna and Noah at the annual Fitchburg State Drag Show. There were surprised looks all around when we tried to go around for introductions. Admittedly, we used to butt heads a lot in high school but I am so very glad that we reconnected as friends once we had a chance to grow beyond our small hometown and I am thrilled to have Alayna as a bridesmaid for this occasion.
Lynn
Bridesmaid
Nick's Despite having been friends with Rae since high school, there was still some debate as to who would get to ask Lynn to be in their line. (I won!) Though I have been friends with Lynn the shortest of everyone on this page, I cherish the memories that we have together as well as the standing invitation to the fire pit that we helped her build. She is a truly caring friend that always manages to find a quiet moment to talk to me when we get to hang out so I don't get drowned out by the crowd. I am honored to have her as a bridesmaid on this special day.
Rob
Officiant
Since Robert was a closer friend to my brother Mike growing up, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect when we reconnected at Mike’s wedding a couple of years ago. I remembered Rob as a goofy kid with a love of legos and trains just like Mike was and when I got to see him again, it was clear that at least that much had not changed. Rae and I spent the night talking to him and he spent the night helping me convince Rae to have something lego at our wedding. When he told us that he was an officiant and offered to marry us, he then adlibbed an amazing wedding speech for Rae that just clicked. Though we haven't been able to hang out with Rob much recently do to distance (FL to MA) we are both very excited and happy that he'll be able to share with us on our special day
