Wedding Party
Christine Trainor DeFilippo
Matron of Honor
Molly's oldest sister, although sometimes mistaken for her twin! Christine is the leader of the Trainor kids, and a role model for the kind of person they all strive to be. Christine showed Molly the importance of grace, independence, and always speaking her mind.
Matt Mazzella
Best Man
Ben's first friend. Their moms, Liz and Annis, met in Lamaze class and the two boys were born less than two weeks apart. Although life and work have shuffled them both around the country multiple times, they're still as close as they were on day 1.
Liz Trainor Wehmeyer
Matron of Honor
Although Liz wanted their parents to bring a little brother home from the hospital, Liz and Molly have been thick as thieves ever since! Liz taught Molly the power of empathy, how to be silly, and to be authentically herself.

Mike Gasbara
Groomsman
Despite being a member of the California contingent, Mike and Ben grew up only a few miles apart from each other in Guilderland, NY.

Zaidat Animashaun
Bridesmaid

Ben Joffe
Groomsman
One of Ben's oldest friends, Ben J and Ben G's parents met while on vacation in Cape Cod. With the two Bens living and working on opposite sides of New York, they don't get to see each other as much as they'd like, but when they do, it's like no time has passed since their last afternoon on Hyannis Beach.

Misha Savage
Groomsman
First a neighbor, then a roommate at SUNY New Paltz, Misha and Ben became fast friends over Iron Maiden records and late nights watching Adult Swim at Ben's apartment. In spite of opposite schedules and living on opposite ends of Brooklyn, the two can still be found occasionally wandering the streets of New York, in search of adequate donuts at odd hours.
Kimberly Durand
Bridesmaid
After Herbert introduced Kimberly and Molly, all bets were off! The two originally bonded over a shared obsession with the Real Housewives and their work in the school system, but their friendship blossomed into a true sisterhood over the years.
Dan Selleck
Groomsman
Dan and Ben met in the break room at a drone service center outside of Los Angeles. As movie lovers with ambitions beyond the warehouse floor, they hit it off quickly and started carpooling together. Hours chatting while lurching through LA traffic made fast friends of them. Now on opposite coasts, they still keep in touch, with Ben standing in Dan's wedding party 6 weeks before Dan returns the favor.

Nothing short of serendipity brought Myanda and Molly together! The two southern belles were Freshman year roommates...and actually liked each other!

Another one of Ben's soon-to-be brothers-in-law, the two met when Nic's work brought him to Los Angeles and hit it off over a shared love of art and film.
Kelly Trainor
Bridesmaid
Growing up, Molly loved nothing more than her trips up to Boston to see cousin Kelly! Although they’ve traded American Girl dolls and Britney Spears singalongs for beach trips and wine bars, Molly still adores her cousin and tries to be as smart, well-read, and kind as Kelly.
Denny Zunon
Groomsman
Denny and Ben met on the bus in junior high school and bonded over their collections of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Growing up just a couple blocks from each other, they built a friendship on early YouTube videos and Zelda-- now still going strong with regular visits to each other's cities and mandatory drinks every Christmas week.
Kristen Trainor
Bridesmaid
Molly was obsessed with her cousin Kristen growing up! Kristen made Molly’s trips up to Boston an adventure — playing barbies and restaurant in the basement was never so much fun! Molly remains obsessed with Kristen now that they’re all grown up...admiring her warmth, determination, and her sense of fun!

Officemates at LA Opera, Tess quickly became Molly’s closest friend and confident in the City of Angels. The bi-coastal besties love to see Broadway shows, dance pieces, and enjoy many lattes together.
Mia DeFilippo
Junior Bridesmaid
Molly's eldest niece and easily the coolest person she knows. Beyond being a ranked athlete (multiple times over, in multiple sports!), Mia has a heart of gold and wit that makes her aunt melt. Although Molly can't handle knowing that Mia is now older than she was when Mia was born, Molly and Ben cherish this strong young woman that made them an aunt and uncle.
James (J.T.) Wehmeyer
Ring Man
Ben and Molly's favorite nephew! Aunt Molly and JT have shared a special bond since the day he was born.
