Grace Massarelli
Grace Massarelli - Maid of Honor
Brianne and Grace’s friendship began at Campbell Law School in 2018, and it quickly grew into a bond that helped them both navigate the challenges of law school. They graduated together in 2021, having supported each other through late-night study sessions, shared laughs, and countless memories. Law school was tough, but with Grace by her side, Brianne always knew she could make it through. Both now practice family law, where Grace has made a name for herself as a powerhouse woman who handles high-stakes cases with confidence—always closing deals in heels. Known for her sharp mind and strong work ethic, Grace is a true professional who brings her A-game every day. Living in Raleigh, NC, Grace is not just a colleague and friend to Brianne but a constant source of inspiration and strength. Their friendship has only grown stronger over the years, and Grace is honored to stand by Brianne on her special day as her Maid of Honor. She has been a steadfast support and a key part of Brianne’s journey to this beautiful moment.
Brina Van Apeldoorn
Brina Van Apeldoorn - Bridesmaid
Brina is Brianne’s younger sister, but their 10-year age gap has never kept them from being incredibly close. Though Brianne was initially hesitant about having a little sister after a decade as an only child, she was overwhelmed with love the day Brina was born. From that day forward, their bond only grew stronger. Although she is the big sister, Brianne admires and looks up to Brina for her confidence, creativity, and kind heart. Now in college studying to become a detective, Brina brings her brilliant mind, humor, and vibrant energy wherever she goes. A true craft enthusiast, Brina will likely spend the long flight from North Carolina to Italy crocheting something special. More than just sisters, Brina and Brianne are best friends. As Brianne steps into this exciting new chapter, she couldn’t imagine saying "I do" without Brina by her side—just as she’s always been from the very beginning.
Olivia Pauley
Olivia Pauley - Bridesmaid
Olivia is Brianne’s best friend and sorority sister, a bond that began during their time at Campbell University in Buies Creek, NC where they both majored in Trust and Wealth Management. With little to do in their small college town, they made their own fun—creating unforgettable memories, getting into just the right amount of trouble, and always finding an excuse for a beach day, shopping spree, or a cocktail (preferably while wearing Lilly Pulitzer). Their friendship has only grown stronger beyond their college years. In 2023, Brianne stood by Olivia’s side as a bridesmaid for her wedding, and now, Olivia is honored to be part of Brianne's new chapter in life. While she won’t be making the trip to Italy, she has the most beautiful reason to stay behind—Olivia and her husband are expecting their first child in August 2025! Even from afar, Olivia’s love and excitement for Brianne’s big day are unwavering. She’ll be celebrating from home, raising a glass (or maybe a mocktail) to her best friend’s next adventure.
Kristen Ryan
Kristen Ryan - Bridesmaid
Kristen and Brianne met through work, where Kristen was not only Brianne’s Manager and HR rep but quickly became one of her closest friends. Despite their professional roles, their connection was instant, built on laughter, shared awkwardness, and an unbreakable bond. Living just down the road from each other in New Bern, NC, they’ve become inseparable. Kristen is truly the sweetest person you’ll ever meet—beautiful inside and out. Though their friendship is relatively new, it feels like they’ve known each other forever. Even after Kristen moved on from the firm where Brianne still works, their tradition of "weekly HR meetings" (better known as therapy sessions) remains a staple in their friendship. Kristen is more than a friend; she’s family. There’s no way Brianne could say “I do” without Kristen by her side—perhaps even squeezing in a quick therapy session before the walk down the aisle!
