Christine & Zach
Wedding Party
Greg
Best Man
Greg has affectionately earned the nickname “Sister Wife” as Zach and Greg have been together for almost as long as Zach and Christine. What started off as freshman roommates and deciding who would bring the fridge and who would bring the microwave has turned into a decade long friendship that has culminated in the ability to have full blown conversations using only movie and television quotes.
Laura
Maid of Honor
Laura was the best role model to Christine growing up, and although it annoyed her, Christine wanted to do everything she did because she thought Laura was just the coolest! As they’ve grown up, is become clearer how much they have in common and have become best friends. Laura is a loyal friend who will do anything for the people she loves, so Christine knows she is in great hands with her as the Maid of Honor.
Taylor
Groomsman
Taylor is the middle brother of three and has all of the classic “middle sibling” attributes. His picture is special because I actually got to witness Taylor’s first hole in one! Taylor has the mind of a tinkerer and is great with his hands, taking things apart and putting things back together. Truly someone you want in your corner throughout life and in this case - standing next to you on your wedding day.
Maddie
Bridesmaid
Sorority sister, roommate, best friend... Maddie's intense FOMO helped Christine branch out in college, meet new people, and grow into the confident woman she is today. When Christine first moved to Alexandria, Maddie’s family took her in as one of their own. She’s the go to girl for restaurant and recipe recommendations, fashion advise, winery trips, and emotional support. Together they are known for great vent sessions over glasses (who are we kidding... bottles) of wine.
Peter
Groomsman
Peter is the youngest and as luck would have it - tallest of the three. Though he is the youngest of the brothers, he is definitely wise beyond his years and a gentle giant of sorts. A great listener with a great sense of humor - a killer combination for any friend or brother. Any aggression that Peter may be holding onto is taken out on the Rugby pitch. Zach is excited to have Peter standing (maybe towering) up with him on the big day.
Meg
Bridesmaid
Meg is Christine’s partner in crime any time they go out together. A sorority sister, roommate, and of course best friend, she can always be counted on to be Christine’s karaoke and dance partner, and has the same love for lazy pool days as Christine does. Not only is she a great friend, she is also an amazing puppy mom (helping with all Christine and Zach’s dog questions), and now a super mom to her little boy! She’ll definitely be on the dance floor singing with the band on the wedding day!
Colin
Groomsman
Colin and Zach met at work - Zach’s first big kid job out of college. The two quickly bonded over their love of fine beer and spirits - making the annual pilgrimage to Atlantic City for a their annual Beer Festival and ensuing shenanigans. In their older years, Zach and Colin have now formed a new tradition of exchanging bottles of alcohol (Bourbon for Zach and Scotch for Colin) at each visit because “you can’t get in trouble because it’s a gift”
Courtney
Bridesmaid
Best friends since high school, they are both with their high school sweethearts, so they share something really special as friends, and can come to each other for advice any time. She vacationed with Christine’s family down the shore each year, and fit right in with her goofy attitude and fun outlook on life. Courtney is a super mom of two girls with amazing family values that Christine admires. If things get hectic on the big day she will keep us all cool, calm, and collected.
Mike Grosso (Uncle Mike)
Officiant
Mike is Christine's uncle and Godfather. He is an amazing speaker and story teller. He has a passion for world travel and great food. He and Zach share a love for donuts and it doesn't hurt that Mike once worked for Haagan Daz - Zach loves ice cream almost as much as he loves Christine ;). From the moment they got engaged, Zach and Christine knew that Uncle Mike was the perfect person to perform the ceremony.
Hannah
Bridesmaid
Christine and Hannah met freshman year in high school, and her house quickly became a second home for Christine. From prom weekend down the Jersey shore (and getting caught with a lot of booze in the car by her stepdad), to when she visited Christine at Virginia Tech freshman year of college for a football game, Hannah can be relied on to come to any social activity. Her thirst for adventure is inspirational and when she lived in London for 6 months, she didn't hesitate saying yes when Christine and Zach wanted to come crash with her to explore the city. She's a beautiful person inside and out. Her smile will brighten the wedding day, no matter what the weather.
Daisy
Cutest Dog Ever
Daisy won't be at the wedding, but we couldn't resist sharing a picture of her cuteness!
Alex
Bridesmaid
Alex and Christine’s friendship started after a weekend trip with their architecture studio in our 3rd year at Virginia Tech. Being some of the only "sorority girls" in the program, they quickly bonded over their love of balancing school with a social life, ugg boots, and leggings. As their fashion senses have grown, so has their friendship. Alex is one of the most intelligent, and humble, people Christine knows, and she wouldn't have made it through school without Alex’s constant support and encouragement. She's an inspiring woman in architecture, a potato chip lover, and can always be counted on for having special chocolates at her house (which they tend devour over, you guessed it, wine).
