Our Story

Photos

Maggie is an ER nurse and while she has had many dream jobs it's always been clear Maggie was a helper wether it was bandaging Bridget's poked eye or saving lives during Covid. 
Despite Maggie's typical older sister bullying Bridget and Maggie are lucky enough to be sisters and best friends.  

Maggie 

Matt is the person responsible for making sure long Islanders arrive safely at their destination. Matt was the person who inspired Bridget to color her hair, get tattoos and over all be herself. When Bridget was a kid she always said Matt "was the coolest brother ever" and that feeling continued into adulthood. 

Mathew 

Karlie is Bridget's oldest friend, in 6th grade they bonded over their love for the Jonas brothers. After their first Jonas brothers concert Karlie and Bridget went on to see 30+ different artists together. Karlie knows all the words to bust a move and please don't hesitate to ask her to prove it. 

Karlie 

Hannah and Bridget met at SUNY cobleskill, on the first day of orientation Hannah asked Bridget where the closet Starbucks was and that 45 minutes adventure to Starbucks was the start of a life long friendship. Hannah and Bridget share a love of "exploring" abandoned buildings and trying to befriend wild animals. 

Hannah 

Haylie is the little sister Bridget never had, Haylie and Bridget have known each other since 2007 and Bridget continues to joke that Haylie is forever 10 so who else would she pick as a flower maid. 

Haylie 

Sophia was the first friend Bridget made when she moved to Massachusetts, they both share the passion of working with kids, animals and reading. Both Bridget and Sophia work in the mental health field so not only are they best friends they are each other's unpaid therapist. 

Sophia 

I offered this role to Mike T as a joke when he was a mystery adjacent friend on the internet, and always intended following through. However, playing League of Legends in the witching hours until 7am finds you understanding one another on a spiritual level.
