Andrew Macpherson - Best Man
Andrew "Mac" Macpherson has been by Kevin's side since day one of the Naval Academy. He has transformed from a middle aged southern Whaler into the fine young Naval Officer he is today. Roommates at Bancroft Hall and the "Sub Mansion" in Charleston, Kevin and Mac are always able to laugh, drink, and eat their way out of any situation.
Megan Allie Comparini - Maid of Honor
Megan
has been by Alexis’ side since she entered this world, whether she wanted her
there or not. They had a joyous childhood full of laughter and competitions.
Growing up Megan reminded Alexis to not take the world or herself so seriously.
While as Alexis’ Maid of Honor, Megan reminds her to stay on track and complete
tasks promptly. Alexis is her best self when Megan is by her side; she has always
complemented and challenged her in the many stages of her life. Megan is more
than Alexis’ oldest and best friend, she is her blood, her soulmate and her
sister.
Collin John Shepard - Bridesman
Collin
“CJ” John met Alexis on their first day of college. Alexis knew that first week
they met that they would be amazing friends. How could they not? CJ lived a few
doors down in Harris Hall. He was, and still is, honest, charismatic and a
loyal friend. CJ stepped up to the plate as Alexis’ official date to sorority
formals and unofficial assistant to the Vice President of Standards. CJ and
Alexis culminated their college years living in an apartment senior year. They
rescued the cutest, helpless kitten and always had dominos on speed dial on the
way home from a night out. The CJ and Alexis chronicles continue into adulthood
with a touch of class and an upgrade on food choices.
Brian Bloom - Groomsman
Brian "Moose" Bloom joined the Navy to see the world. Although he was slightly distraught when most of those sights were seen underwater on the USS Pittsburgh, at least he had Kevin to vent to. From emotions to frustrations to bodily fluids, Brian always has something to share and laugh about. Kevin and Brian are easily spotted together as seen by their $15 smoking jackets, overgrown mustaches, or with a Cruzcampos, Alpha Beer, or a Swiss Delicassy known as Champagne "Sans" Alkohol always in their hand.
Patrick Hurley - Groomsman
This once unshaven homeless man came into Kevin's life during his middle school days at Heritage Grove. From there, a friendship blossomed that created many well known movies and music videos including: The Constitution Scat, a rendition of COPS based on the storyline of The Outsiders, Against Tomorrow music videos, and The Shawshank Redemption (One of these videos was not created by Pat and Kevin). Pat and Kevin will continue to make music and memories together for years to come.
Courtney Ann Paisley - Bridesmaid
Courtney
and Alexis met at the end of Freshman year when they rushed Kappa Kappa Gamma. Alexis
admired Courtney’s fantastic shoes and imagined Courtney admired Alexis’
courageous dance moves. Courtney and Alexis were two peas in a pod getting coffee,
studying for psych tests and attempting to take care of a sorority. Courtney
was a beacon of positively, kindness and compassion while living with Alexis
during a strenuous semester. Courtney and Alexis love traveling to see each
other, going to the beach, discussing life and share a friendship that will undoubtedly
last a lifetime.
Chelsea Elizabeth Brown - Bridesmaid
From the
minute Alexis met Chelsea she was her number one choice for her sorority “big”.
Alexis has always admired Chelsea’s strength in character and self, and Alexis
could not imagine a better BIG sister. Throughout the past few years, Chelsea
has continued to inspire courage and provide support, especially as Alexis and
Kevin’s lives brought them to Connecticut. When you cannot find Chelsea and
Alexis at a local fitness class, they are playing with pets and talking for
hours. Alexis never had an older sibling in life and she is delighted to have
saved that honor for Chelsea.
Justin Hish - Groomsman
Justin and Kevin have been pals ever since the days of Mrs. Erman in the 6th Grade. From getting 150% A+++ on projects that had nothing to do with the assignments (Making a pyramid out of plywood and legos instead of writing a paper about the Egyptians) to the shenanegry of AP chemistry and speech team, the two are inseparable. From Notre Dame to Italy and back, the two have continued to stay close, and are typically found scrutinizing every single decision they made as a child and the decisions to be made in the future. For those in his inner circle, we are all pretty sure Justin is writing a book, but no one is certain.
