Melissa & Jesse
Our Wedding Party
Danielle Desrosiers
Maid of Honor
Melissa's older sister. Fun fact: Danielle and I sound almost identical on the phone and I catch myself saying things in life and hearing my sister's voice instead of my own.
Jared Restivo
Best Man
Jesse's older brother. Fun fact: I was just Jared's best man in his wedding in Maine this past August.
Molly Voytek-Barrette

Lauren Bishop
Bridesmaid

Billy Restivo
Groomsman
Jesse's cousin (but basically his brother). Fun fact: Billy and I enjoy debating politics, work and the greater meaning of life.
Cassie Kozak
Bridesmaid
Friends since elementary school. Fun fact: Cassie lived up the street from me growing up. We rode the school bus together and every day I asked her to be my friend. Finally (and thankfully) she caved after LOTS of badgering from me.
Derik Martel
Groomsman
Friends since high school. Fun fact: Derik and I ran the Boston Marathon together. It was a struggle and we both limped to the finish line. Extra fun fact: Derik is notorious for puking after running. (Sorry Derik).
Kaitlyn Nolan
Bridesmaid

Sadie Restivo
Bridesmaid
Melissa's soon to be sister-in-law. Fun fact: Sadie and I initially bonded over being mutually horrified at the Restivo Christmas Eve tradition of making any new guests give a speech in front of the entire family (about 30 of them). We are still not over it.

Friends since college. Fun fact: Jack was my roommate at Endicott. We've gone on many vacations together - two of them being Ireland and San Diego.
