Rachel & Evan
Wedding Party
Michelle Makris
Maid of Honor
Unofficial historian for Rachel's most picture-worthy moments. Dancing queen, slap cup extraordinaire, and always down for an adventure. The butter to Rach’s toast.
Pavan Naidu
Best Man
Pavan and Evan have grown so close over the years, they decided to buy houses less than a mile away from each other. This makes it much easier to destroy one another's kitchens while trying to prepare delicious meals for their family and friends.
Kaitlyn Hoey
Bridesmaid
One of Rachel’s most loyal & loving friends (through the awkward years & beyond). Has a knack for concocting the most delicious sweets and baked goods. The two were fated to be friends, and even celebrate their half birthdays on each other's birthdays. Caution: Should never be left unsupervised while eating Gushers.
Zach Short
Best Man
The Mermaid Man to Evan's Barnacle Boy. The "blind side" tackle when Evan played QB. The beer-pong partner for life. The brother from another mother. Zach moved onto Manor Way in kindergarten, and he & Evan have been best friends ever since.
Brooke Williams
Bridesmaid
Besties since the third grade, thanks to Mrs. Fister pairing the two together. Always there to answer any and all dog-related questions. Serves as the only other participant in their high school buddies' snap chat group.
Nick Loughran
Groomsman
Nick and Evan grew up playing sports together year-round. They are probably both so tough and resilient due to years of athletic competition. Either that, or from being so rough on each other as kids. Like that time Evan tried to throw a baseball bat at Nick, or when Nick threw a rock at the back of Evan's head because, "there's no way I could hit him from this far away."
Edie Alden
Bridesmaid
Ginny’s favorite aunt, who makes the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. A biiiig fan of late night snacks. Has claimed the couple’s guest bedroom as her second home.
Adam Loughran
Groomsman
The younger, more adventurous Loughran brother. Adam is always down for a round of golf (or two), a spontaneous camping & fishing trip, or just a quick happy hour beer.
Erica Cornell
Bridesmaid
Known by most as "E." One of Evan's childhood friends, and quickly became one of Rachel's BFFs. Is easily the couple's coolest friend.
Trevor Vazquez
Groomsman
Trevor and Evan grew up on the same street, though mostly stayed indoors playing video games & making home films. Thankfully, the two decided to venture outside more as adults and now enjoy the outdoors, often embarking on on skiing, hiking, or camping trips together.
Nicole Farbent
Bridesmaid
Rachel's work twin/bestie (none of their coworkers can tell the two of them apart, with their blonde hair and dazzling blue eyes). Fellow lover of pizza, fine wine, and The Office. She's also dog-mom to Brody, Ginny's BFF.
Corey Usavich
Groomsman
Corey is Evan's quintessential "Nassau friend," which helps provide Evan some street cred for his reputation. Corey and Evan shone brightest on the baseball diamond and football fields, but now play together in a co-ed recreational volleyball league, clinging to whatever athletic prowess they still have left.
Hallie Agliano
Bridesmaid
The only person in their grad school cohort who agreed to look at apartments with Rachel, blind-date style... which turned out to be a great decision. The two roomies spent many memorable nights galavanting the streets of Park Slope and NYC. Always down to trade in a happy hour token at Calexico.
Eric Jones
Groomsman
The youngest brother of the bride, and just a truly genuine guy. Eric and Evan enjoy catching up about the latest football or NBA trends, the newest nutrition and fitness data, or just about life in general.
Shannon Doody
Bridesmaid
Overheard Hallie and Rachel talking about moving in together at their grad school orientation, and decided to join on the fun with two strangers (turned lifelong friends). Is undoubtedly the best gift-giver in the world. Can always count on her for some big laughs & killer dance moves.
Wayne Bowden
Groomsman
Wayne and Evan grew up playing football together, but their best memories were made off the field. Whether it was cliff jumping, watching fail compilation videos, or driving all around Dutchess County for the *possibility* that there *might* be a party, Evan and Wayne have always been like brothers and shared some of the hardest laughs together.
Amanda Gisonni
Bridesmaid
Has a volleyball serve like no other. Dog-mom to Ginny's best gal pal, Josie. Rumor has it she almost got a ticket while fishing off the dock of Cayuga Lake... but we all know that's just a tall tale.
John Kittredge
Groomsman
John and Evan are both handymen who like to fix things around the house. Evan is often calling John with questions or advice, which John is more than willing to help out with as long as he can weave in a dad joke or two. It is hard to find Evan and John engaged in a conversation without at least one of them quoting some sort of TV show or classic movie, most likely from "Home Alone".
Joelle Church
Groomswoman
Evan's college best friend whom everyone swore he had a secret love affair with because they spent so much time together and were so close. Joelle made sure to set the record straight real quick on those rumors.
Brian Jones
Officiant
Brian is Evan's most creative and artistic friend whom Evan admires for his passion and work ethic. And no, he's not Evan's brother or twin or not-so-distant cousin. Just another tall and ruggedly handsome man who happens to be a brother of the bride.
