Wedding Party
Stephanie Cardonne
Bridesmaid
Kristen's oldest hometown friend that always keeps her grounded and will always tell it like it is! No one can match Kristen and Steph's love for all things Christmas (including all the Hallmark channel movies) and pad thai.
Samantha Smith
Bridesmaid
Sam is a forever friend that came along at UMass Lowell! She's always there for a nice long phone call after work and down to lounge at the pool or the beach. She's also the best (worst) influence when it comes to online shopping.
Gabriella Ferri
Bridesmaid
We say that we give credit where credit is due; Kyle and Cooper are to credit for this friendship! Gabby is always there for long chats, going to see a good movie at AMC in Assembly Row, going on trips near and far, and always ending dinner with a walk to JP Licks or homemade treats!
Taylor Humes
Bridesmaid
Kristen's finally getting a sister! Kristen and Taylor's bond grew over the many Nelson family trips down to Florida and up to the lake house. She is always there for endless laughs and for a killer game of Mario Party or Harry Potter trivia.
Alyssa Waterman
Bridesmaid
Alyssa was one of Kristen's suitemates at UMass Lowell! Alyssa is the best when it comes to homemade dinner dates and weekend getaways but especially for food and football (and couch naps) on game days!
Emily Fitzgerald
Bridesmaid
Kristen's roommate at UMass Lowell! Emily is always up for a trip to Kimball's for ice cream, long (and I mean long) walks, and has some unbelievable dance moves that will definitely be out to play on wedding day!
Megan Aukstikalnis
Bridesmaid
Another one of Kristen's suitemates at UMass Lowell! Megan is always good for post night shift donuts/breakfast sandwiches and for book exchanges. A fun fact, Meg's sister is our photographer :)
Michelle Chernaik
Bridesmaid
Although Michelle and Kristen went to the same high school, this friendship didn't blossom till their days at UMass Lowell! Michelle is the best for dates to Pressed Cafe, trips to the mall, and jamming to Disney music.
Cooper Martens
Groomsman
Cooper and Kyle's friendship didn't hit its stride until high school but from then on it's been a tight bond. If you need a good laugh or thoughtful advice, Cooper is your guy. He also loves cooking and has countless incredible recipes!
John Moner
Groomsman
John is Kyle's first friend from daycare. He was a frequent visitor to the Nelson lake house and feels like part of the family. The Nelsons still don't know if he was more interested in the lake or the Nelson BBQs. He is also a talented musician and the life of the party.
Nicholas Depasquale
Groomsman
Nick's childhood home was only a couple homes away from Kyle's and after school festivities included non-stop highly competitive sports. These sports often ended in fights but the fights never diminished the brother-like friendship they have always shared.
Robert Long
Groomsman
Rob and Kyle's friendship began at golf camp and golf has always been the uniting passion in their friendship. As such, Kristen has dubbed Rob "Kyle's golf boyfriend"! An ideal Sunday for Kyle and Rob is an early morning tee time followed by a final round major watch party or full NFL Sunday slate.
William Humes
Groomsman
Will is Kyle's brother in law. Will is not only a great BIL but he's a great friend. He has a huge heart and would do anything for those close to him. Will and Kyle love to be in the outdoors so they will go on long kayak trips when Kyle visits him in Florida.
Evan Crowley
Groomsman
Evan was another one of Kyle's roommates at UMass Lowell. They are notorious for heated arguments regarding food and Jaylen Brown. These arguments may sound hostile but they are in good fun as Evan doesn't have a bad bone in his body. Although they can't see eye to eye on the previously mentioned; IPAs, McGriddles, and the NBA are the cornerstones to their friendship.
Michael West
Groomsman
Mike and Kyle met during freshmen year at UMass Lowell. Long study nights often turned into long nights at the bar. Mike is one of the kindest people you will ever meet so never hesitate to go say hi. He will be easily spotted on the dance floor as his hands never go below his shoulders when a good song is playing.
Michael Dodd
Groomsman
Usually referred to as "Dodd" or "The Dodd Father", Dodd and Kyle were roommates at UMass Lowell. Dodd has a great sense of humor and is always there to give us a good laugh when we need it. Dodd's future plans include winning the lottery and riding off into the sunset in his orange Lamborghini.
Gabriella Gallant
Flower Girl
Gabby is definitely the cutest member of our wedding party! She is the goddaughter of the bride and groom!
