"Hey Everyone, Nana Kenz here (also Matron of Honor). Allie's had my back, quite literally as my goalie, since our college lacrosse days, and we've been sippin iced coffee, brunchin', and obsessing over our dogs ever since. Allie has been by my side through some of the biggest moments of my life, and I am honored to be by hers as she commits to forever listening to Nick yell during NHL games. You can find me singing to some Celine or SoMo on the dance floor...or bustling Allie's dress!"
Lydia Smith - Maid of Honor
"Hi, I'm Lydia! Everyone's favorite hot mess and the maid of honor (a questionable combination). I've known Allie for nearly two decades, and she's been at the core of every memory resulting in rolling on the floor laughs or screaming Girl on Fire and Taylor Swift while driving in circles through our hometown. She is the epitome of a best friend; I know I will always get honest, true advice, with some random jokes or sayings sprinkled throughout! My life wouldn't be the same without her or Nick in it! You will most likely find me on the dance floor or sobbing in the corner as I watch my friend say yes to forever!"
Shanna McCarriston - Bridesmaid
"Hi I'm Shanna (rhymes with banana)! Allie & I became friends because, as we put it, we got to Marblehead High School at 5 a.m. since our working moms had to drop us off early. Ok...maybe we are dramatic and it wasn't ~that~ early, but we did have about an hour with just us, to talk all things life, sports, music & whatever high school drama was going on at the time. Allie & I are different in some ways (for example: I couldn't stop a lacrosse ball if my life depended on it), but our shared sense of humor, love for traveling, our level-headed approach to most things (I said most, not all!) & how much we value our friends & family has kept us together through all the important moments in life, leading up to this one!"
Kaleigh Gendreau - Bridesmaid
"It's me, hi! I'm the problem it's me. My name is Kaleigh Gendreau. The last standing female Gendreau before Allie takes over the name and produces the future legacies. In my many years of existence I never failed to not be the problematic child. I'm so grateful I will finally have a sister who is way cooler than my brother. If you know the groom you can only imagine why I had to become a therapist to cope with being stuck with him my whole life. Anyways, get ready for the best night of your life. Come find me if you need a good tea break. Do us all a favor though and don't buy me shots. I need to be in a good headspace to catch the bouquet!"
Aliza Bogosian - Bridesmaid
"Hi! I'm Aliza! Cat mom and queen of hobbies typically held by grandmothers (knitting, quilting, etc.). But don't let that fool you, when Allie & I are together the party doesn't stop. We've been friends since middle school & I'm honored to stand by her side on this momentous day! So excited to celebrate Allie & Nick's beautiful love - see you on the all on the dance floor!"
Laura Forman - Bridesmaid
“Hi! I’m Laura Forman. You might recognize that last name. Well, Allie is my best friend because I think she’s pretty awesome. I’m Allie’s best friend because I married her actual best friend, her brother. Now she’s stuck with me because… we’re sisters! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better SIL. I was proud to have Allie standing by my side on my wedding day and I cannot wait to return the favor as her bridesmaid and sister (and bestie by marriage 😜) as we welcome Nick into the family!”
Emma Barbera - Bridesmaid
“ Hi, Im Emma. Bridesmaid and best friend. Lucky to have been scooping ice cream with Al at 16 and now spending dinners over charcuterie talking through life’s drama. That and texting her about fashion advice pretty much daily and trying to read 1/100th of the books she reads so I can stay relevant to book discussions. Somehow she hasn’t gotten sick of me yet! Couldn’t be happier for her and Nick.”
Victoria Farnsworth - Bridesmaid
“HI! I’m Torie, and i am one of the owners of Flip The Bird, a fast casual fried chicken restaurant- I mention this because it was thru the restaurant industry that I met Allie. Back in 2012, my boyfriend and I took over a beach restaurant in Marblehead called Lime Rickeys. Allie had worked there in previous years and decided to take a chance and stay on under my new management THANK GOD- First of all, I wouldn’t have survived the 4 summers I ran it without her, and second because she’s become one of my closest friends 🙂 I immediately fell in love with her work ethic, and she spoiled me by being so awesome I thought everyone was going to be like her, but I soon realized that people like her come few and far between. Between covering for crappy staff members and bonding with the best ones, to staying late with me and making 12-scoop ice cream cones for our separate commutes home, the 4 years flew by.
After we sold that business, I had no idea that I would continue to keep in touch with both Allie and Emma on a professional and personal level. I am 10 years older than the two of them, I figured the age gap made me a lame-ass they wouldn’t want to hang out with lol but over the next decade, they both worked at my other restaurants when I needed help or they needed money, and after they got big-shot careers and left me to run my businesses on my own (so sad!) the 3 of us started a little once-a-month dinner club so that we wouldn’t lose touch. Carving time out for each other has meant so much to me, and we’ve seen each other through some really tough times, as well as the BEST TIMES like the announcement of Nick + Allie’s engagement ❤️
Allie actually met Nick during our last year at Lime Rickeys, I met him for the first time on the deck on a sunny afternoon at the end of the season, and us girls talked about him many times in my tiny hole-in-the-wall office. Allie puts a lot of thought and consideration into who she allows to be part of her life. I feel so lucky to have been chosen as a close friend over the years I’ve known her, and Nick I’m sure feels even more so- She’s a gem! Congratulations you two, can’t wait for the big day it’s going to be one for the books!”
Justin Steinberg - Best Man
“Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to stand here as Nick's best man. I’ve known Nick since he was born, and he has always felt like a brother to me. We’ve shared countless unforgettable moments, and he stood by me as my best man on my wedding day, which is a testament to the incredible bond we share. Nick, aka 'Arnos' & 'Genji', has navigated life with strength and resilience at a young age. Now, I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this new chapter with his beautiful bride, Allie, and watch them make amazing memories as we have growing up. Here’s to a future filled with love, laughter, and lifelong happiness and maybe a little crazy along the way!”
Blake Forman - Groomsman
“ The soon to be Brother In-Law!
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.”
Cory Stevens - Groomsman
“ Nick is my best childhood friend growing up in Marshfield, MA. I’ll never forget the first day of fifth grade when Nick got on the school bus wearing a Nomar Garciaparra hat and I immediately knew we’d be best friends. Nick and I have been through so much together from little league baseball, family parties, wreaking havoc around Marshfield in the T-Boat, men’s league hockey and now trying to spend as much time on golf courses as we can. We’ve spent an endless amount of time together and have created a life long friendship that not many other people can say they have. HEEEEYYYYYYY!!! Can’t wait to celebrate Nick and Allie on their big day!”
Steve Luque - Groomsman
“It all started when we fought over number 5 in freshman baseball, and we became brothas since that moment. From the Rexhame General store and baseball in high school, to playing golf and slugging brews after college and the military. Nick and Steve have been there for eachother through hard times and good times. If you ever find yourself around these 2 and don’t know what the hell they’re saying, don’t worry that’s their natural habitat. I knows Paul’s looking down with a smile on the man Nicks become.”
Matt Sullivan - Groomsman
“ Sull is known as a brotha but is sometimes referred to as a skrotha because his favorite saying is, “I don’t know Nicky.” You can catch him dipping out early with the perfect Irish goodbye.
“Sull is the only one that golfs so much, but every time I golf with him his game is worse” -Gendreau, as he shaves points off his score”
Jonathon Gardner - Groomsman
"Ladies & Gentlemen, let's give a rousing welcome to Jonathon, affectionately known as "the President" by Nick's mom, Kerrie! Why this esteemed title, you ask? Because if Jonathon's around, there's a fighting chance that Nick might avoid turning a fun night into a chaotic escapade - most of the time!
Jonathon has been by Nick's side through thick and thin, including the legendry day of Nick's first Indy 500 experience. Picture this: Nick behind the wheel of the Grand Paulie Molina - the younger, safer version of the infamous "Blue Boat". With Paul riding shotgun, they zoomed northbound on Route 3, leaping two lanes and hitting 80 mph, all while Jonathon braced himself probably thinking "This isn't in my presidential platform!"
While he may not be president, this political hopeful and fine-ass groomsman is ready to save your sweet toosh on the open ocean or drag you off the dance floor after five too many High Noons! Just call him the "Puddle Pirate", sailing the seas of questionable decisions and ensuring everyone makes it back to shore - preferably without any embarrassing stories.
So let's raise a glass to Jonathon, the groomsman and President of good intentions, who's here to ensure that while the night may be filled with laughter and political flair, we can count on him to keep the festivities lively and entertaining!"

Kevin Kwedor - Groomsman
"Hey, this is Kevin, Kweed, K-Mula Baby, the tall bean pole that Nick (Geng, Gengie Molina, and some too explicit for this website) would use to get Oreos off the top shelf, etc. You could find us playing wiffleball in the back yard of one of our houses or bumping tha carter 3 on some obnoxiously loud speakers with all the windows open. If we got together for a sleepover there was no phone number, radio station, or business that was safe from one of our prank calls. Nick and I have been through thick and thin together and the fact we've stayed friends through everything truly shows how serious Nick takes commitment and I am so excited to be there when Nick truly shows Allie this on their wedding day."
