Like many modern love stories, ours began with a simple swipe. Stung by the Bumble bee- we headed to our very first date at a cool hip beer hall in Providence (Rielly picked this spot and Dan was VERY impressed). We both decided to take a chance and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we ever made! Rielly quickly fell for Dan’s wild-yet-laid-back spirit (and his dog Wookie, of course), while Dan was drawn to Rielly’s big personality and kind heart. From our very first date, we’ve been like yin and yang—different in all the right ways, always balancing each other out. Rielly has learned to embrace life with more ease and optimism, while Dan has grown more open, emotional, and fully himself through Rielly’s love. Over the years, we’ve spent our time living our lives exactly how we like. Traveling the world, trying new things, going to shows, music festivals, family trips- you name it. We consider ourselves extremely lucky. Adventure has always been at the heart of our relationship. From the very beginning, Dan has encouraged Rielly to take more chances—he even helped her find the courage to get back on skis and embrace winter again. One of our very first dates together was camping and soon after, it was hiking in the White Mountains. Spending weekends up north quickly became one of our favorite things to do—there’s something about the calm and serenity of the mountains that brings us peace and makes us feel most like ourselves. With family roots in New Hampshire, it’s always felt like a second home to us, which is why we couldn’t imagine a more meaningful place to begin this next chapter of our lives. It wouldn’t be our story without our four-legged family. We’re proud parents to two cats, Almy and Katy, and two dogs, Elvis and Wookie. Anyone that knows us- knows that they are our whole life and we would do anything for them! Raising them together has brought us even closer and filled our home with such love (and fur..lots of fur). We’re so excited to be getting married and can’t wait to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people we love most. It means the world to have you there with us. We can’t wait to keep writing our story, side by side. XOXO Dan + Rielly

We feel incredibly lucky to be married by someone so close to our hearts—Dan’s sister, Monica. She’s one of the kindest, most thoughtful people we know, and her love and support has meant the world to us throughout our relationship. Having her by our side (and at the altar!) makes this day even more special. We truly couldn’t imagine a sweeter soul to help us start this next chapter.
Maid of Honor
My maid of honor, Lizz, has been by my side since high school—and life has been brighter (and a whole lot funnier) ever since. She’s one of the funniest people I know, always finding a way to make me laugh, even during lifes tough moments! Whether we were getting caught passing notes in class, shark diving in Hawaii, climbing rock in Sedona, dancing the night away in Bristol, or heading off on spontaneous girls' trips, we’ve always managed to find a little mischief along the way. There is no one else I'd rather get into some trouble with- she's my partner in crime, she’s more than a friend—she’s family. Knowing her has been one of the greatest gifts of my life, and I’m so lucky to have her standing beside me on this day (and every day).
Maid of Honor
My sister... I still remember the day she came into the world—just two days before Christmas! She was a gift from the very start, and I was so excited to finally have a sister. Growing up together was everything to me. Even with seven years between us, that gap has never mattered. When we lost our mom ten years ago, our world was shaken in a way we didn’t know how to recover from. We went through something that no one ever should- and if you have then you understand how there a no words for something like that. Through all of it, we’ve held on to each other and became each others rock. I can always count on her to give it to me straight or keep me in the loop on all things Gen Z. She’s been my biggest supporter and I am her #1 cheerleader and I can't wait to have her by my side.
Bridesman
My bridesman—my bestie Brian, a.k.a. Bast.—has been one of the most iconic, hilarious, and loyal people in my life. From awkward high school days to late nights living it up in Providence, we’ve been through it all. Moving to the 'big city' will forever be one of the top favorite things we've done together. Our summer deck parties on Commodore? Legendary. And don’t even get me started on the chaos we stirred up (and survived) together We’ve climbed glaciers in Iceland, bopped around Colorado together, danced the nights away at The Salon and provided front-row seats to each other’s most questionable dating choices. No judgment, just side-eyes and support. But through every wild chapter, we’ve been on the same wavelength—always vibing, always showing up, always laughing. Having Brian by my side on this day isn’t just special—its non-negotiable!!
Bridesmaid
Shannon, where do I begin!! We met through my owl bud on the lax team at Westfield State, but it wasn’t until we both studied abroad in Ireland that things really kicked off. Somewhere between too many car-bombs, late-night walks home from Workmans, and cooking dinners for each other, I realized I’d found a ride-or-die. From that trip on, she’s been a forever friend. We’ve bonded over our love of music, (screaming teenage dirtbag out the window one of our apartment windows) way too many shows, and the kind of chaotic fun that somehow always turns into a core memory. Shannon also introduced me to the wild and wonderful city of Quincy—and all the amazing people who came with it. For that alone, she has a permanent place in my heart (and probably a few of my best stories). <3
Bridesmaid
Shannon and I first met at a party—and honestly, that sums up our friendship in the best way. Our second interaction? Immediately diving into a group vacation together. Shannon may have thought I was a bit bossy at first (she wasn’t wrong), but by the end, she was thankful to have a planner in the group! From chasing waterfalls in Iceland, to swamp tours in Louisiana (yes, we did that too), patriots games, bowling, surviving tick town, nights out in Quincy, Shannon is always down for a good time and a little chaos. Her fun, light-hearted energy and smile are contagious, and she has this incredible way of making everything hilarious. I’m so lucky to have her by my side for this day—and let’s be real, probably for the next wild trip, too.
Best Man
I met Casey at a music festival, and we instantly clicked—bonding over our love of snowboarding, live music, and and just saying yes to a good time. Since then, we’ve been roommates, worked together at Loon, hit Vegas and experienced the Sphere, and—one of my personal highlights—he brought me to my very first Jimmy Buffett concert (RIP to the legend). And honestly, as much as Jimmy was a legend, so is Casey.
Best Man
Nick is my younger brother, and growing up, we were always competing—golf, hockey, pickle… if it could be turned into a contest, we found a way. But beyond the competition, he’s someone I’ve always looked up to. Loyal, hardworking, and the kind of person who shows up when it counts. And now, he’s about to take on his biggest adventure yet—becoming a dad. Watching him step into this next chapter is incredibly exciting, and I couldn’t be prouder. I’m so lucky to have him as my brother and even luckier to have him standing by my side on this day.
Groomsman
Jeff and I go way back—we met playing freshman lacrosse and later went to college together. Some of my best memories are from those days, hanging out in the campus apartments and working lift ops at East Basin. I’m lucky to have him by my side for this next chapter.
Groomsman
From high school to backpacking through Colombia, Dylan and I have done a lot together. He’s different than anyone I’ve ever met—in the best way. Whether it’s his occasionally thick Irish brogue (which mysteriously appears after a trip to the “old country”) or his completely free-spirited nature, Dylan is one of a kind. Having him here means bringing a piece of that wild, unforgettable energy to this day—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Groomsman
I knew Richard was a real one the day he followed me into a mysterious hot spring I stumbled upon in Idaho, while everyone else stayed warm and dry in the car. That’s the kind of guy he is—up for anything, even if it’s a little questionable. He’s like a giant teddy bear with a heart to match… but I’ll never play Cards Against Humanity with him and my family again.. I’m so happy my sister found her person in him and so lucky he will be by my side while I marry mine!
Groomsman
Dan Ladd was one of my first real friends at Plymouth State—thanks to a completely random roommate assignment that turned out to be legendary. Since day one, he’s always down for Tuckerman Ravine or just bagging another 4,000-footer on the weekend. These days he’s thriving in full ski-bum mode out in Colorado. Whether we’re chasing powder or swapping stories over cheap post-hike beers, Dan Ladd’s sense of adventure and laid-back vibe make every trip better. I couldn’t imagine this day without my original mountain buddy standing beside me.
