Matron of Honor
Ann Marie is my sister, and the best person I know. She has been an incredible example of what a mother and wife should be and I am so thankful to have her in my life. If you have ever met Ann Marie, you know she has a sweetness and meekness to her that you do not see in many people. She is so special to me and many others who have the opportunity to have her a part of their lives. There is no one else I would want standing next to me other than my big sister.

Alex started off as the little brother of our friend group. We used to always, unfortunately, punk him before we truly welcomed him in. Since then, Alex has always been the life of the party, and an unbelievably loyal and loving friend of mine. The Doug Judy to my Jake Peralta. Our moms refer to each other as their adopted son because everyone knows how tight we are. Although Alex now lives in Tulsa, OK doing full time ministry, our closeness has hardly changed. It’s a life long bond, solidified by ink and a crazy summer in 2016 working at a summer camp together. Alex also may be performing a song at the wedding (approved or not), so be prepared.
Maid of Honor
At the young age of 4 years old, Alyssa came knocking on my door, offered me a lollipop, and asked if we could play chalk together. This so happened to be the first day we moved into our Rhode Island house, and we have been inseparable ever since. She is the most morally sound, and lovely person I have ever met. If you have ever met me, you know how much I love and admire my best friend, Alyssa. I could not imagine anyone else standing beside me on the best day of my life, and I hope she stands by me forever.

Although I thought Jawn didn’t like me much when we first met, once I realized that wasn’t the case, we quickly became super tight. We bonded quickly over YouTube videos, ridiculous movies, and rappers we weren’t allowed to listen to. Then in high school, we continued to hang out pretty much every day and would sit up laughing for hours and making McDonald’s runs at 2AM. Even still to this day, late night McDonald’s runs are a staple anytime we’re together. Jonny has since moved to Tulsa, OK and started a full blown family with one of my dearest friends, Lauren. I was able to stand with them on their wedding day, and I’m pumped to be able to have him stand with me on mine.
Bridesmaid
I was just about to begin my senior year of college when I unexpectedly needed a new roommate and a place to live. Luckily, Steph just so happened to be looking for a new roommate as well. I sent her a DM on Instagram, not sure how our year of living together would play out, but we quickly became the best of friends. We spent many nights laughing, crying, eating, or watching The Office together and I wouldn't change those two years for the world. She stood by me during my darkest days, and I couldn't imagine her not standing by me on the best day of my life.

Matt and I have somewhat known each other for the past 5 years, but throughout and after college, we mainly just kept up with each other on Instagram (you're welcome for that re-post that lead Steph to your DM's). I'd say our friendship really took off in the last two. In the last two years, we have gone on plenty of double-dates, group hangs, and had a few guys' nights. One thing I'll say about Matt is that he is consistent, an encourager, and a great friend, father, and husband. Matt is always down for a good hang, and the conversation never lacks. I'm very grateful that I'll have Matt, Steph, and Legend in my life for a long time, and I'm even more pumped he'll be able to stand beside me on such a special day.
Bridesmaid
Gabbie and I met through our church, Cranston Christian Fellowship (now Hope church), and I knew that we were going to be best friends from the minute I met her. If you need a project to get done, or someone to start a new hobby with, Gabbie is your gal. She accomplishes anything she sets her mind to, and she does it with excellence. Gabbie is loving and thoughtful, and the best dog mom I know! From our summers at Berea, or missions trip to Maine, to sponsoring children in Costa Rica together. She has been a consistent friend in my life and I am so thankful to have her always in my corner.

I knew when I met Matt his freshman year at SEU that he was going to be my guy for many years to come. We instantly hit it off, and have been brothers since that day. We’ve seen each other, and the rest of the Dog House, through a ton of different high seasons of life, and some not so good. Matt is loyal, and an incredible friend, and is always been down for a good Saturday morning brunch, and late night conversations on the porch. We now have been roomies for a few years, and unfortunately that’s coming to an end soon. Even though the roomies won’t be under the same roof, it’ll always be in our blood.
Bridesmaid
Erin and I met the summer before 7th grade through a mutual friend. We were both preparing to go to a new school and I was happy to have met someone that I was going to be in class with. We immediately hit it off and would spend many days begging our moms to let us hang out together after school. We have always been the most giggly, and we truly bonded over our love for twilight. Erin was my best friend in middle school and high school, and I am glad that we have remained so close, still making each other giggle over the stupidest things. I can't wait to be old lady's laying on the beach listening to high school musical one day!

Dan is Susie’s older brother, but has become a good friend of mine, and the brother I never had, over the past few years. Some call it a “bromance”… and I think that’s accurate. We have bonded over our interests in sneakers, sports, cigars, and Casey Neistat. We also can laugh hysterically at Leo’s Tik Toks for hours. Dan and his incredible wife, Alex, have the funniest child on the planet, and I love getting to be an uncle to Mia. Dan and Alex have always been a great support system for Susie and I, and more than that, great friends/family that we love to spend time with. I’m super grateful for how welcoming they have been to me, and am excited to officially be family soon.
Bridesmaid
When I first found out that my big brother was talking to a girl, I would never have imagined anyone as perfect as Alex. She is the best person for my brother, has been the best addition to our family, and has become one of my closest friends. She is reliable, caring, and the best listener. I have loved watching her become an amazing wife and an amazing mother to my precious niece. I cherish our moments blasting Taylor Swift, shopping, or drinking Starbucks while catching each other up on all the drama in our lives. I am so lucky that I get to call Alex a sister and I am honored that she gets to stand with me on the best day!

I’ll never forget the day that our youth pastor, at the time, introduced Lorentz and I to one another. It was an Easter service, and Lorentz was probably wearing the soccer jersey he lived in for a few years in high school, but since that day, we have been tight as can be. We’ve been all over the world together, gone to concerts, movies, and comedy shows together, and been side by side (mostly in the Majestic theater parking lot) supporting each other during some of the craziest times of our lives. Lorentz might be busy with his big shot job, but he always makes time for the homies, even if that means he sacrifices a few hours of sleep.
Bridesmaid
Samantha is Casey's older sister, has been someone I have always admired since the first time I met her. She is driven, passionate, and puts 100% into everything she does. When I have witnessed her experience a setback, she has persevered and desired to be better no matter the circumstance. She is fiercely protective of the people she loves and fights hard for what she believes in. I am honored that she is standing by me on our wedding day, and I am so excited to have Samantha as a sister for life.
Flower Girl
I am so excited to see how cute my sweet Mia will be on our wedding day! I may be biased but I think we have the most adorable nieces in the game.

I am so excited to have my precious Nieces, Emma and Madelyn as Flower girls on our big day!
