Sarah & Eli
Wedding Party
Zach Cobb
Best Man
Zach is my brother, and while he may be 10 years older than me, we are lucky to be as close as we are. From going on hikes, trips to Portland, or family dinners weekly at our parent's home, I am thankful to have such a great brother. Also, check out our ring bearer, James!
Jillian Hickey
Maid of Honor
I first met Jill while taking a BLS First Aid Course before beginning PA school. We sat together in class on the very first day and haven’t left each other’s side since! It felt as though I have known Jill for years – little did we know we played lacrosse against one another in high school. Our paths had crossed many times before without even realizing it, but I am so lucky to have her today. From the many study sessions, movie nights, and dinner dates to Jill going with Eli to pick out the ring – I couldn’t ask for a better friend or MOH!
Connor Gaffney
Groomsman
Connor is Sarah's brother, but we have been friends since high school. We played on the same hockey team and after graduating worked together at Nippo Lake Golf Course. Since then, we have spent many weekends playing golf and in tournaments! I'm happy to have such a great future brother-in-law!
Eric Juergens
Groomsman
Eric entered my life as a good friend of Zach's, but has become a member of our family in the truest sense of the word. He has taught me so much about cooking and has been such a big impact in my life. I'm excited to have him with me on my wedding day!
Zac Porter
Groomsman
When I first met Zac, we both were working in the beer industry at different breweries. Meeting Zac he was so genuine and we became friends quickly. Fast forward a few years, we both landed working at Trillium Brewing Company. Even after we both left and moved into new jobs, we have stayed close!
Steve Riker
Groomsman
Steve started as my coach in High School for my hockey team, and while our relationship then may have been tricky, once I graduated we started a friendship. Steve and I have been to breweries and events all over New England trying a variety of things I don't know if I would have tried otherwise! While I don't know if I would have expected our friendship, I am lucky to have someone like Steve in my life!
Delaney McCann
Bridesmaid
We met through mutual friends in high school on a hike of Mt Major in New Hampshire (parkour!). We instantly clicked and have remained very close friends over the last 10 years – not even long distance in college could stop us! Delaney was there from the very beginning of Eli & I’s relationship – going on several double dates, being a part of the “promposal” and supporting us at our lacrosse games. I have grown close with her and her family, and know that I can always count on the McCann’s. Delaney has truly been there through thick and thin, I am so grateful she’ll be by my side!
Quinn-Olivia Pytell
Bridesmaid
Quinn-Olivia is one of my longest friends, going all the way back to kindergarten. We grew up in the same neighborhood until sadly I moved away in 5th grade (right before we were going to be allowed to go to Stewart’s on our own!) – but this didn’t stop us from staying close friends. Every time I came back to visit NY, we would pick up right where we left off and it felt as though no time had passed. Some of my best childhood memories were spent with Quinn-Olivia on the lake or bus rides to school. Can’t wait to make more amazing memories at the wedding!
Bella Pangaribuan
Bridesmaid
Bella is one of my long-time friends from high school. We had several classes together & bonded over our mutual love for medicine. We took the LNA course (along with Delaney!) which gave us our start to our current careers. We have always been each other’s biggest motivators and support, no matter where in the world we are. From teaching me different languages, several pints of Ben and Jerry’s to cringeworthy birthday videos on Facebook, we have grown a lot together. Can’t wait to recreate “our pose” at the wedding!
Jaclyn Johnston
Bridesmaid
One of the reasons I survived PA school was because of Jaclyn. I have learned so much from her over the past few years and feel very lucky to have her in my life. We quickly bonded over our love for critical care medicine, golden retrievers and Downeast Cider. Jaclyn is someone I know I can always call, and she will be there for me no matter what. What makes Jaclyn special is our ability to have fun while just talking for hours on end. PA school was tough, but I was lucky enough to have her (and Jill!) brought into my life. Can’t wait to stand by her side for her wedding day and to have her by mine!
Alex Nelson
Bridesmaid
I have to thank my younger brother, Connor, for bringing Alex into my life a few years ago. I first met Alex after Connor’s car broke down on the Cape during one of his fraternity formals. I only say this because ever since having Alex in my life, it has been a non-stop adventure (in a great way). She quickly became a part of the family and I have had so much fun ever since. Between track outings, Jonas Brother concerts, holidays, cidery tours and more – she is always someone I can count on for a good time. I am lucky to have her in my life & I cannot wait for her to get everyone out on the dance floor :)
Kerry Gara
Bridesmaid
We have been together since birth – literally! Kerry is my first cousin on my mom’s side. I have been blessed with a very large family with many cousins, which made for very fun holidays. Kerry and I are close in age and so we spent the most time together growing up at the kids table. I have always treated Kerry like a little sister – there’s even videos of me pushing her around in a toy stroller. If you see her, ask her about our matching hand burns at Thanksgiving – we still laugh about this story today! I am so lucky to call her family and cannot wait to have her by my side!
McKenna Gara
Flower Girl
She is the daughter of PJ (Sarah's first cousin) & Maria Gara!
James Cobb
Ring Bearer
Our nephew - son of Zach & Jessica Cobb!
