Brianna & Tyler
Wedding Party
Emily Murray
Maid of Honor
Meet Emily, Maid of Honor ~ She is living in Milford, NH with her boyfriend, Izzy and her little man, Gabriel. She's kicking ass in the insurance Bizz and in life in general. I met her in Mrs. Leel‘s third grade class as a wild, unstoppable eight-year-old and we are still fumbling through life together now. Her parents took me in back then for weeks on end while my father was working, and we spent summer nights camping with barbies in the rain/beating each other up over that “special shirt” that looked better on my doll than it did on hers. I broke her heart while I damaged myself as a teenager and she was still here to pick up my pieces when I was done doing it. Thank you for everything you are and I’m so excited to see the woman you are becoming even through the hardest parts of life. <3 -B
Amanda Warren
Matron of Honor
This is Amanda; my long-lost sister and Matron of Honor. She lives in her new home in Connecticut with her super sassy husband, Rich. They have two kiddos, Caiden and Mikey, who are both beginning their second year of high school this year! Good luck guys! She does Design work and has been Project Managing for large complexes. Way to go! I was able to regain my relationship with her after years of separation when I moved back to New Hampshire at 18. We have memories of trouble from those early years of friendship and I wouldn't trade them for the world, but I am forever grateful for her also being an incredible role model for me while I worked through some personal traumas and built myself a more successful self-complex. You will always be an inspiration, sis <3. -B
Samantha Wilson
Bridesmaid
This is Samantha <3. She is my fiancé’s younger sister and lives in Manchester, New Hampshire with her boyfriend, Erick and her two bunnies. Take some time to talk to her about bunnies – you won’t regret it! She is filled with spontaneous creativity and is an incredibly supportive and irreplaceable woman to have in your corner. She will never give up on the people she cares about and will spend countless hours trying her hardest to bring you a smile <3. Relentless, kind, and spirited. Think of Alice while she was prepping parties in the Twilight series, that kind of energy. Thank you for saving me from creepy men at nightclubs and staying up all night with me on family camping trips <3. I’m so grateful to be your sister in law. -B
Shelby Scott
Bridesmaid
Shelby! This pretty lady lives in South Carolina with her darling daughter, Scarlett. We were high school sweethearts and stuck together like glue while our worlds were flying by. I’ve never met a girl whose personality melted so well into mine, and I never had a moment that didn’t feel like home when we were in that purple bedroom of yours, your moms sweet southern voice, Camel Menthol Wides, skipping school and exploring abandoned houses off of Seaside, sneaking out of your bedroom window and smoking blunts on the roof of the elementary school across the street while the police yelled at us over their loud speakers >.< You got the best of my wild side and I’ll never forget the friendship we held through it all. I can’t wait to see you and your family again! -B
Jonathon Johnson
Bridesman
Jonathon! This guy 😘 I can’t believe he is living his dream, residing in Lille, France with his handsome Husband and their two beautiful dogs and kitties. I remember you speaking to me in French while we watched Adventuretime at the Islands – I still remember how to say Hippopotomus, if nothing else 😉 For sure though, If I could bottle this man’s laugh, I’d be absolutely set. The memories Facebook throws at me randomly reminds me of the smile you kept on my face through the one of the oddest stages in my life; you kept me company at my father’s AA meetings and made fun of his girlfriend’s overweight cat who got more attention and love than I did at the time (fucking kill me). Thank your mom for painting my toenails and holding me while I cried to her about my petty life probs, and thank you for the best life hacks – every now and again I still like to scream random words at the top of my lungs through open windows and closed blinds at strangers walking on the sidewalks when I’m in an apartment complex. Pick up your dog shit, m’am. Thanks! -B
Ashley Anderson
Bridesmaid
This is Ashley! She recently graduated with her Master’s and is working hard at her new job as a Drug and Alcohol Counselor in MA. She is married to my fiancé’s best man, Taylor; we actually also just celebrated their wedding on November 7th - a busy couple of years for us, for sure! I will always admire her grace and sensitivity as well as her dedicated ethic. It’s so incredible to have friends who inspire you to be the very best version of yourself. I’m so excited for the next steps in your life and to experience them by your side – thank you for being such a respectable and honorable lady <3. -B
Alyss Donnelly
Bridesmaid
Alyssa <3 A recent Master’s graduate, now living in her dream home in Georgia with her partner, Nate - whom I’m so excited to meet soon! She is an avid advocate for the things she is passionate about and no one can help but to admire her strength through the harder parts of life. I hit the jackpot when I found you stuck on your tricycle (or bike with training wheels?) in a crack in the pavement outside of your house on Winchester Drive after forcing my father to knock on every door in the neighborhood to find children to invite to my fifth birthday party. You dealt with my inexhaustible energy as a child and I looked up to your maturity, as I still do. Mindless Self Indulgence and McDonald’s old french fry recipe will always scream your name; any time I hear a ghost story I think of our imaginary boyfriends ~ and I’ve never been able to walk past a Razor after the impressive amount of time we spent high-speed scootering. Thanks also for the great “use your butt” memory I was able to write an essay on in 5th grade English class <3. I miss you. -B
Korrinne Nickless
Bridesmaid
Korrinne <3<3 This girl is working her beautiful ass off in Keene, NH and is an avid traveler when COVID isn’t tearing shit up! She is one of the first friends I made when I moved back to New Hampshire and I’m so lucky to have shared all the genuinely happy and carefree memories we’ve had in New Ipswich as youngin’s. Thank you for every trail we’ve hiked and every hangover that followed much needed nights away from home. I hate how many times I’ve turned down her mindblowing adventures - her stunning photography shows it all. She is always finding the beauty in life and never fails to remind me that I’m worth investing in my own happiness. Nothing but love <3 -B
Taylor Anderson
Best Man
This is Taylor. He is working in the IT field and is living in Rindge, NH with his new wife, Ashley and their two Beagles. I met Taylor in Mrs. Bell's fourth grade class and we quickly became good friends. We spent weeks together as kids at his place and mine. We are close enough now to be family and I'm grateful to have had him as a friend for so many years. Tyler
Erick Mercadente
Groomsman
This is Erick. He is also developing a career for himself in the Integrative Technology field. He has been dating my little sister for years now and he is someone who makes her truly happy. I'm also glad to say that I would be proud to call him family in the future. Tyler
Mick Adams
Groomsman
This Mick. He is a Machinist and lives in Rindge, NH. I met him in the 6th grade, and it was during math class that we became really close friends. It took me a few days and a few classes in to realize he was letting me believe he was his twin brother, Miles. His sense of humor is only a fraction of why we've been best friend's since. Tyler
Miles Adams
Groomsman
This is Miles. He works at BAE Systems and lives in Rindge, NH. I also met him in 6th grade, when I finally figured out which twin was which. He made middle school fun for me and us three amigos also became good buddies with Taylor. Our close friendship hasn't changed since we were young.
Deverton Beauvais
Groomsman
This is Dev. He is a Paver and lives in Keene with his girlfriend, Sarah. We met in high school and got to know each other in automotive class. We hung out a lot after graduation and did things like hiking, rock climbing and camping. He is the kind of guy who can get a laugh out of any crowd and is always there when you need him. Sometimes we try to work on cars together and end up relaxing and getting distracted enjoying the times
Tyler Updyke
Groomsman
This is Tyler A.K.A. Mini me. He is a machinist and lives in Manchester, NH. I moved and started at a new school in the 8th grade and I'm not any good at socializing, but he and I became good friends anyways. I remember coming into a class that had arranged seating and there was a seat labeled "Tyler U," I thought that they forgot the rest of the W but they didn't. We had to come up with nicknames for each other to keep it straight and since he was only 2 inches away from legally being a midget and he was another ginger I've been calling him Mini Me ever since. He has always been a genuine and trustworthy guy with a heart of gold and would give (and probably has given) the shirt off his back.
Richard Warren
Groomsman
This is Richard - he is a Regional Manager at Tractor Supply and is living with his wife and their two kids in CT. I met him when I met Brianna's sister, as they started dating shortly before her and I did. We used to hang out at their apartment and do game nights all the time. Rich has an awesome sense of humor and is really laid back and easy to get along with. I'm glad to be gaining him as a brother in law.
John Hancock
Groomsman
This is John. He works maintenance for a medical facility and lives in Winchendon, MA. I never thought I'd become friends so quickly with someone who has a similar personality. John is my best man's wife's brother (mouth full lol). He's carefree and jokes through the night. Hanging with him is always a great time.
