Caitlin Weir - Maid of Honor
Caitlin is my sister and most trusted confidant. Growing up together Caitlin was always the more creative one & constantly was drawing for both Meaghan and my school projects. After graduating as Valedictorian in high school Caitlin decided to follow in my footsteps and attend pharmacy school at Albany College of Pharmacy. She was a first year when I was a fourth year meaning that we were able to spend my final three years of college together. Whenever one of us was homesick or had a rough day it was nice to know that you had a sister right on campus to help you get through whatever stress pharmacy school dealt. Caitlin is the most caring, selfless, and kind person I know. She will always support me in any way I need no matter what the circumstance. I am lucky and thankful to have her as a Maid of Honor in our wedding.Caitlin is currently finishing her last year of pharmacy school in Albany and is set to graduate in May 2017.
Bryant Bishko - Best Man
When I moved to Easthampton at the age of 10 Bryant was my first friend. We grew up on the same street and spent our childhood together. We both played sports as kids so you could find us outside playing baseball, basketball, football or golf. Sometimes we would even make up our own games to pass the time. If the weather didn't cooperate we would head inside to play our favorite video games, poker, or even just throw on a movie., We went through middle school, high school, and all the ups and downs of growing up. Bryant has been there for me through everything and I can't wait to have him by my side on mine and Bridget's big day.Bryant is currently living in Easthampton and works as a manger for Yankee Candle.
Meaghan Weir - Maid of Honor
Meaghan is the second of my two sisters. She has the biggest personality and is considered the "goofball" of the family. If I ever need to laugh I just get in touch Meaghan or scroll through the thousands of memes/gifs/youtube videos she sends in our sibling group message. Meaghan may be the family clown but growing up she was always the one looking out for all of her siblings. If our younger brothers went on a bike ride, she was right there beside them. If one of us went to the park she was there making sure you stayed safe. She still possesses these qualities years later and would do anything for not only me, but for any family member or friend. She is one of the most kind-hearted and genuine people you will ever meet. I am so happy to have her stand by my side as Maid of Honor at our wedding.I am SO proud to say that Meaghan is a third grade teacher at Indian Orchard Elementary School.
Jason Dzialo - Groomsman
Jason has been one of my best friends since I was 10 years old. He grew up across the street and through the woods from my house. We bonded over sports and would spend hours every day playing basketball, football, hockey, and golf. Our favorite sport to play was baseball out in his backyard. Even to this day Jason and I try to get out and enjoy a round of golf at least once weekly. Jason is one of my friends that I can talk to about anything and I know he will always be there for me. Because of these qualities I am thankful to have him as a groomsman.Jason is currently living in Easthampton and working towards his degree in Accounting.
Ashley Smith - Bridesmaid
Two of my friends and I were placed in a suite with Ashley and her friend in our second year of college. We knew of each other but that was as far as it went. Once we moved in together Ashley and I became close friends. We were pretty much inseparable- we studied together, ate together, and even had a little bit of college fun together ;). All of my college memories, no matter how crazy, include her. Ashley is the first person I call when I have big news whether it be good or bad. She is my shoulder to cry on and my biggest support. She's been through everything with me; the stresses of pharmacy school, moving to new places, health issues, and more, and I can't picture my life without her friendship. I am so blessed to have her stand beside me as a bridesmaid on one of the most important days of my life!Ashley is a pharmacist at Mercy Medical Center and I am SO happy to say she recently bought her first home in Southwick, MA just ten minutes from me :)
Frankie Weir - Groomsman
Frankie is Bridget's brother and my soon soon-to-be brother in-law. Over the past 4 years we have grown close over Sunday dinners at Pa's and vacations at the Cape. After Bridget and I bought our house it was not uncommon to find Frankie and I watching Game of Thrones and taking up the entire couch. This past year at the Cape we were able to go on a jet ski tour of the bay and even have a little extra fun behind the instructor's back. I can't wait for my wedding day so I can officially call Frankie my brother.Frankie is currently living in Easthampton and is working for the Hampshire Sheriff's Department.
Taylor Rush - Bridesmaid
Taylor and I became friends during our first year of college when we both joined the dance team. When we were planning our living situation for third year, Taylor and Sam were looking for two roommates so Ashley and I joined them! This is when the infamous G16 was established! Taylor and I became close friends during this year. We lived together, went to class together, and even continued on dance team together. Taylor has been there with me throughout it all and we are lucky enough now to be going through wedding planning together! I couldn't be more thankful to share the excitement (and even some anxiety!) of what goes into planning a wedding with her! Taylor has been one of the best friends in my life and I can't wait to stand by her side on her wedding day and have her by my side on mine!Taylor is currently a pharmacist for Price Chopper and lives in Cohoes, NY with her fiance Eric and fur baby Charlotte.
Brendan Weir - Groomsman
Brendan is Bridget's youngest brother and also my soon-to-be brother in-law. Ever since Bridget and I bought our home Brendan is always willing to lend a helping hand with anything that we need. Whether it be painting the interior, exterior, or moving furniture I know I can count on him. Brendan is a wrestler at the University of Southern Maine and is a fierce competitor. Him and I are constantly in competition to see who can find the best tank-tops and pull them off better. I can't wait for my wedding day so I can call Brendan my brother (and to see who can pull off a tuxedo better.)Brendan will be attending his Sophomore year at the University of Southern Maine and is studying Athletic Training
Samantha Dise - Bridesmaid
Sam and I became close friends during our third year of college when Ashley, Taylor, her and I moved into G16. Sam was always the one to tell you like it is and keep you on track. She was the lucky one who seemed to understand any material thrown at us so when I needed help I always knew who to go to! During those crazy college yearsSam taught me how to stand up for myself, be more independent, and even how to be more confident. She is one of my closest friends and I know I can trust her with anything. Even though she's over 1500 miles away I know I can count on her for support in all aspects of my life. I am so fortunate to have her stand my by my side as a bridesmaid!Sam is a pharmacist for Rite Aid and currently lives in Denver, Colorado with her great dane Zeus!
Shaun Kelly - Groomsman
Shaun has been one of Bridget's closest friends since high school and has welcomed me into their group with open arms. I've known Shaun since we were in middle school and went head-to-head on the baseball diamond at Nonotuck Park. Shaun is one of the most outgoing people I know and makes anytime we hang out full of laughs. When I first met Bridget Shaun made sure to fill me in on all of her embarrassing stories. There is never a dull moment with Shaun and I am sure he will help make my wedding night memorable.Shaun is currently living in Chicopee and works for MassMutual as a Continuous Improvement Consultant.
Benjamin Scott - Groomsman
Ben and I were on the golf team together in high school and he also happens to be one of Bridget's best friends. We would spend days on the golf course locked in intense competition. Ben and I also spent some time working together at Big E's Supermarket, even though my stint there was fairly brief. We were able to become closer friends on a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean last year while enjoying many Sam Adams Rebel IPAs. Ben is one of the smartest guys I know and always knows how to give well thought out advice. I'm looking forward to having Ben as a groomsman on my wedding day.Ben currently lives in Enfield, CT and works as a Software Engineer for Gerber Technology.
Alicia Zimmermann - Bridesmaid
Alicia and I have been friends since middle school. We went through all of the awkward middle school and high school years together. When we graduated in 2008 Alicia went to Penn State and I went to school in Albany. That didn't change anything though! We stayed a part of each other lives long distance during the school year and then spent summers together in Easthampton. Alicia and I have been able to support each other through every event of our lives no matter how big or small- 8th grade graduation, prom, college graduations, moving out on our own, and so many more.
