Bridesmaid
Ally is one of Mary's childhood best friends. Growing up, their families were so close that holidays were spent together, and in school, they were often together, sharing lunch tables and playing sports together. Mary particularly remembers a memorable weekend at Bucknell University, where she attended a sorority event as Ally's date, creating one of her most favorite memories. As they grew older, Mary came to deeply admire Ally's remarkable communication and organizational skills, often looking to her as a role model and seeking advice. Their friendship has the rare quality of feeling timeless—no matter how much time passes between their meetings, they always pick up right where they left off, a testament to the kind of childhood friendship that grows stronger with time. And today, their nieces, both in CT, are besties and Mary hopes they will become as close as they were.
Bridesmaid
Ariel became more than just Mary's freshman year roommate—she became family. From their first moments together, they formed an instant connection, with Ariel providing a calming presence to Mary's whirlwind life. Her unwavering loyalty was evident from the start, most memorably during a night when Mary fell ill and Ariel selflessly accompanied her to the hospital, staying the entire night despite having early morning classes. Over the years, their bond transcended typical friendship, with Ariel becoming so close to Mary's family that she's now considered a cherished member of their circle. Her ability to ground Mary, offer steadfast support, and create a sense of home during the tumultuous college years made her an irreplaceable friend who will always hold a special place in Mary's heart.
Bridesmaid
Sammy and Mary's friendship began on the same college dormitory floor, quickly blossoming into an unbreakable bond that defined Mary's entire college experience. Most of Mary's most cherished memories include Sammy right by her side, whether they were embarking on late-night adventures, supporting each other through challenging times, or simply sharing endless laughter. Where Mary might have been chaotic, Sammy matched her energy perfectly—equally wild and spontaneous, yet grounded in an unwavering loyalty that made her an irreplaceable friend. Sammy's ability to keep life exciting while simultaneously being a deeply caring friend set her apart, with a genuine commitment to each of her friends that goes beyond surface-level connections. Mary sees in Sammy not just a friend, but a true sister—someone who brings excitement, compassion, and unconditional support to every moment they share. Their friendship transcends typical college companionship, promising a lifelong connection that will continue to grow and evolve long after their college years have passed.
Bridesmaid
Jenna and Mary's friendship is the kind of unexpected connection that makes life fun! They met in an intramural kickball league, quickly becoming inseparable friends who would end up as neighbors in Dorchester, then Quincy. Jenna is now officially "Auntie" to Harper, Mary and Ryan's dog, and has become such a core part of their lives that Ryan loves her just as much as Mary does. What started as a random kickball team friendship has turned into one of Mary's most treasured relationships. Jenna's genuine, down-to-earth personality made her an instant friend, and Mary will always feel grateful for Jenna's arrival in her life.
Best Man
Growing up, Jared was the family's "little angel"—a sweet, sensitive boy who could do no wrong—and then Ryan came along and turned that calm into complete chaos. Where Jared was measured and gentle, Ryan was a tornado of energy, constantly lighting up their household with mischief and mayhem. Despite (or perhaps because of) their differences, the brothers became incredibly close, bonding over their shared love of music and an unbreakable sibling connection that meant they could go from an epic argument to best friends in mere minutes. Their music festival adventures and ability to navigate life's challenges together have only strengthened their bond.
Groomsman
Ryan and Will's bond transcends the typical cousin relationship—they are more like brothers, and were born just a month apart and inseparable from childhood. Ryan was often the mastermind behind their more mischievous adventures, with Will serving as the loyal and supportive sidekick. While Ryan might have been the one pushing boundaries, Will was the steady, illuminating presence in the family—a treasured member whose gentle and kind spirit balanced Ryan's more rambunctious nature. Their connection was so tight that they shared not just family ties, but a deep friendship that carried them through every stage of growing up, with Will always standing by Ryan's side, showing unconditional support. Mary also adding in that Will was one of the first to welcome her into the family whole-heartedly and unconditionally, which she will always be grateful for. Will is just the best!
