Brigid’s older sister and definitely not the matron of honor (because that would make her sound old). Besides, we all know people think Brigid is the older sister anyway. Meg has been by Brigid’s side through everything—whether she wanted to or not—and now she’s here to make sure the wedding goes off without a hitch (or at least without Brigid tripping down the aisle).

Mitchell’s older brother and the guy you probably shouldn’t hand the microphone to, especially if he starts standing on a slant. Mike has been Mitchell’s lifelong partner-in-crime and is ready to deliver an unforgettable best man speech—just don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Brigid met Mel in elementary school, but their true friendship didn’t start until the end of 8th grade—right after Mel forgave Brigid for wearing Barbie sandals to gym class in 1st grade. She’s also the legendary friend who once asked, “Are you guys dating or what?” So really, this whole wedding is kind of her fault.

Mitchell’s childhood best friend who somehow married Brigid’s childhood best friend—because fate (or the red invisible string) works in mysterious ways. He’s also a firm believer in Bigfoot, and honestly, we respect the commitment.

Brigid met Lyd through Mel and has been her long-distance BFF ever since she tragically left her in high school. Despite the miles between them, their friendship has never wavered—because some bonds (and gossip sessions) are just too good to let go.

A true ride-or-die friend, he’s always there when you need him—whether it’s for a good time or a helping hand. Oh, and in case anyone is wondering… yes, he’s single and on the lookout for his future wife. Applications will be accepted at the open bar.

Friends since middle school, Haley has been there for Brigid through every questionable life choice—but loves her anyway. She’s also the best baker in the friend group, which is probably why she’s still allowed to stick around.

Don’t let his size fool you—Ryan is a teddy bear at heart, though he can outdrink just about anyone. Whether he’s cracking jokes or downing beers, he’s been a solid friend to Mitchell and is ready to celebrate in full force.

Brigid’s soon-to-be sister-in-law and official bonus sister. She understands the joys (and struggles) of loving a Hartel boy and shares Brigid’s deep appreciation for “poverty nachos.” She also helps keep Brigid sane—an essential role in the family.

Nick once cried while talking about Mitchell and Brigid getting married someday, proving he’s been emotionally invested in this love story for years. He also once headbutted Brigid at a wedding, so for everyone’s safety, he may need to wear a padded helmet before approaching the bride.

Lexi may have come into Brigid’s life a little later than the others, but she’s quickly earned her spot as the least problematic friend. Whether it’s a beach trip, a cruise on the boat, or just lounging by the pool (preferably with a UV of 10), Lexi’s always down for a good time and a little sunshine. I

Johnny is a big boat guy with a deep love for Beach Bar Radio. He is anxiously waiting to see if Lexi catches the bouquet and for the return of Busch Apples. PS- Ask to see what treasures he has acquired from the Delaware River.

The first niece and the perfect flower girl. If you want a glimpse of what Brigid was like as a child, just spend five minutes with Melanie. The resemblance is uncanny.

The other perfect niece and flower girl, Raelynn is our little ray of sunshine. Always smiling and spreading joy, she’s guaranteed to bring a sparkle to the day.
