Wedding Party
Cait Lauring
Matron of Honor
Cait is Erin's older (but littler) sis. Cait provides organization, hilarious one liners and a lil baby on the way, whom we are already overly obsessed with. The aforementioned baby will be wearing an adorable tux or dress to the nuptials of Auntie Eh + Uncle Ry. Cait is a product manager in Apparel at New Balance in Brighton, MA. She lives in Boxborough MA with her husband and dad-to-be, Instapete.
Ryan Wholey
Best Man
Ryan (more commonly known in the Wholey/Sharry house as "Whol" to avoid confusion) is Erin's older brother and Ryan S.'s college teammate. Despite never officially being called a "big" on the court, he plays a big role in the 2010 matchmaking of Ryan S. And Erin. Ryan lives in Medford MA with his girlfriend, Cassie and works for Taymax Fitness.
Michael Sharry
Groomsman
Mike is Ryan's younger brother and will be entering his junior year at Mass Maritime Academy where he plays on the lacrosse team. Mike is one of the most effortlessly funny people we know and loves a good buffalo tender meal and fantasy football.
Colleen Sharry
Bridesmaid
Colleen is Ryan's younger sister and the best birthday treat maker in the game. Colleen has become a treasured friend to Erin over the past 7 years. She loves to travel, run and remind Ryan of who has actually won the Easter Egg hunt in years past. Coll lives in Southie and works for Ellevation Education.
Courtney Cox
Bridesmaid
Courtney has been Erin's BFF since 5th grade. She is a host/reporter for NESN, is incredibly talented at creating flawless social media stories, and is always Erin's go-to fashion reviewer. Some may say the celeb interview itch started when Court + Erin met Chad Michael Murray in a casino and asked to take a selfie. Court lives in Southie.
Mike Wright
Groomsman
Mike and Anthony, another of Ryan's groomsmen, were friends in middle school. Anthony introduced Ryan and Mike and they've been friends since.

Mike works at Canaccord in Boston and lives in Southie with Anthony.
Anthony Picariello
Groomsman
Ryan and Anthony have been friends since freshman homeroom at BC High. The friendship was forged over arguing over sports and those arguments haven't slowed down 10 years later. Ask him if he thinks Ty Law should be in the Hall of Fame. Anthony is a school psychologist in Quincy, MA and lives in Southie with fellow groomsman, Mike.
Allyson Hill
Bridesmaid
Ally is Erin's BFF since the 5th grade. Ally was the brave one to venture far away for college and we all lived our sorority lives vicariously through her. She can be found following countless instagram accounts of dachshunds and staring at photos of her own pup, Charlie. Ally lives in NYC and works for 525 America (but is slowly being convinced to move back to MA).
Bianca Murray

Peter Lauring
Groomsman
Pete is Erin's brother-in-law and Ryan's soon to be brother-in-law. He will take on a new title of "#1 dad" in mid-July. Pete encourages Ryan's Settlers of Catan habit, to Erin's dismay, and participates whenever possible. Pete is a software engineer at Buildium in Boston MA.
Jake Wolfin
Groomsman
Jake is one of Ryan's best friends from Middlebury days, and it goes way further than Jake feeding Ryan easy baskets for three years. Jake is always up for a good time and can always be found clapping and/or dancing in the middle of a bar dance circle. Jake works for Bread Finance in NYC.
Rachel Darby
Bridesmaid
Rachel is Erin's final BFF of the 5th grade crew. Although they separated for high school, Rachel + Erin always kept in touch and were lucky enough to experience 4 years at Providence College together. Rachel can be found in the middle of the dance floor, at all times. Rachel lives in Southie with her boyfriend, Joey.
Brittany Williams
Bridesmaid
Brittany is Erin's Australian bestie that she met while studying abroad in Sydney. Brittany is from Australia and has the vocab to prove it. Britt + Erin met when they sat next to each other at a new student orientation when one said to the other, "I like your shorts" (I can't remember who initiated!) Britt was Erin's saving grace on the other side of the world and is making the trip this August! Britt lives in Sydney and works for an advertising agency.
Joey Kizel
Groomsman
Joey joined the Middlebury basketball team when Ryan was a junior and they have bonded over their love of the NBA, Catan, and Seinfeld ever since.

Matt Wassel
Groomsman
Matt (aka Wass) and Ryan have been friends since day 1 at Middlebury when Ryan walked in the Stewart dorm and Matt said, "Are you a baller?" Not sure what gave it away. Ryan and Erin have loved making trips to visit Matt and his family in Rumson, NJ. Matt works in Real Estate in the NYC area and lives in Hoboken, NJ with his girlfriend, Morgan.
Joey O'Connor
Groomsman
Joey and Ryan have been friends since Ryan was born. From sleepovers playing NBA on NBC Showtime for hours on end to visits to Europe to family parties on the Cape - they've been close from the start (Cousin Friends as the huge family affectionately calls it). Joe works at Baystate Financial in Boston.
Cassandra Travaglini
Bridesmaid
Cassandra + Erin have actually known each other since they were kids, but Cass re-entered Erin's life a few years ago when she started dating Erin's older brother, Ryan. The Wholey/Travaglini history goes way back and the two families together love to refer to themselves as "Wholini." Cassie has been such a huge support to Erin + all the Wholey's most recently, but also when Erin first learned how to shave her legs at Salisbury Beach in 2005. Cass is an Emergency Room Nurse nomad and lives in Medford with Ryan W. and their pup, Vinnie.
