Wedding Party

Chelsea Laberge

Matron of Honor

We are 13 months apart and live about 13 miles apart today, so we've always been close. literally and figuratively. Chelsea even lived in the dorm one floor beneath mine my first year in college at UVM.

Kurt Hunt

Best Man

Chris's little brother and very best friend. Kurt and Chris are two in the same, except Chris is blonde and Kurt a brunette. Kurt lives down in Texas right now, and he and Chris talk almost every day.

Lena Capps

Bridesmaid

Lena has been Sam's (and Chelsea's) best friend since pre-school. Her mom's house was just up the road and her dad's house was just down the road from the Bissonette's growing up, so naturallly she spent most of her youth right in the middle at Sam and Cheslea's. She is essentially a 3rd daughter to Tina and Joe, and is a constant feature at every Bissonette family party.

Phil Edgerley

Groomsman

Best friend since Chris moved to America at 5 years old. He also lived down the street. They say Phil also taught Chris how to speak english...a jack of all trades.

Lindsay Kilday

Bridesmaid

One of Sam's best friends from high school and beyond. They lived together during the summer in college, and although Lindsay "LK" lives out in Colorado (for now), distance hasn't changed a thing!

Mike Mattuchio

Groomsman

Chris's best friend at VSP, and an equally big Tom Brady fan. Mike's beautiful wife Jessie will also be making the cupcakes/cake for the wedding!

Erin Colelli

Bridesmaid

One of Sam's best friends since, wait for it, middle school. They remained BFFs throughout high school and were room mates throughout college. Erin has been and will always be a constant fixture in Sam's life, no matter the distance!

Jason Allen

Groomsman

Jay (Big Jay, Thor) is a close friend to both Sam and Chris. His shared love of BBQ's, up for anything and traveling anywhere, and drinking Bud Light easily scored him a spot in this winning lineup.

Hallie Allen

Bridesmaid

Hallie and Jason are Sam & Chris's "double-date" friends. Chris and Jason play baseball together, and Hallie is the best part about baseball games, hands down.

Nick Tebbetts

Groomsman

Nick is another close friend of Chris's from VSP. He also has a love of chainsawing and has come in very handy every time Chris gets his saw stuck in a tree...which happens often so we get to hang out with Nick and his family a LOT.

Megan Severance

Bridesmaid

Megan and Sam met about 5 years ago when Sam started running on Colchester Rescue. They went on to go on a great road trip out west and Megan is now renting a room from Sam and Chris!

Mike Barron

Groomsman

Mike and Chris go way back, all the way to 2001 when they worked together at Burlington Police. Over the years, they've remained close friends!

Lexia Burnett

Flower Girl

Lexi is Sam's honorary niece, and Lena's daughter.

Oliver Laberge

Meeka is Sam's best friend in the whole world. Meeka is a 5 year old Husky and the best middle sibling to Reiko and Loki.
