Northshore Community College Alumni, Radiologic Technologist & Laboratory Technician. Guinea pig momma and best little sister of Carianna. Anywhere from Star Bucks Runs and spontaneous sleepovers to hyping me up in the batters box and fighting over who got to play Putt Putts Zoo first, I love you with all my heart and wouldn't trade you for the world. Even when you ask me to do your make up and then take it off because "the wings are too big."

Merrimack College Alumni and 5th Grade Special Education Teacher. I have the honor of being the childhood best friend for 17 years and counting!! We met at the age of 8 when you first moved to Wakefield and from that moment on, we became best friends. From endless sleepovers to competitive backyard games of pickle, life with you has always been so much fun. I have loved being able to grow up together and I can’t wait for more laughs, more adventures, and making more memories. You are the sister I got to choose.

Former teammate and best friend of Gaz for the past 4 years (but feels so much longer!). We met at SC when I was a Freshman and Gaz was a senior. It wasn't your typical friendship, as she was old and I was pretty much a fetus in the adult world (LOL!). We really didn't get to know each other until spring semester started, and we really bonded being roommates on our softball spring break trip to Florida. And we haven't looked back since! Leave it to us to have the same sense of humor and ability to keep a joke going well after its done. Our friendship will last a lifetime and was built on pumpkin spice, little bunny fofo, and koalas (iykyk). Her dog has my hearts, so I guess I can keep Gaz around for him ;) There is no one else I'd rather spend 2+ hours cleat shopping with, talk softball with, share a love for P-Spice with, and laugh with at the end of the day.

What happens when an extrovert meets and introvert? A friendship to last a lifetime. Two strangers who became best friends and more similar than you'd think met each other 6 years ago in a class I probably wasn't paying attention in, Gaz was probably stressing about, and Alex was most likely looking up random things on Google. Athletic trainer by day and the life of the party by night. Our friendship has lasted through ups and downs of undergrad, China and the Olympians, and graduate school (YIKES). It ranges from crying to laughing to crying laughing, and every emotion in between. There is no one else I'd rather force to go shopping with, drink with, and pretend to love hiking and the outdoors as much as she does.

A couch. A stranger. A new roommate. Ball pits. Clothespin sharks. Rug shoving. Dirty South. Softball Saturdays. Sunday Sundaes. Peppas & the Pats. Snape, Snape, Severus Snape. DUMBLEDORE. Graduations & Goodbyes. Holidays & hump days. A forever friend.

English Lab Coordinator at Tunxis Community College. I dazzle students with my proper use of a semi-colon; They are typically unimpressed. I enjoy long walks on the beach, the sand between my toes, and a heavy IPA with my buddy Dillion. To win me over, ask me about my urban farm, skiing, or my fiery, passionate hate for ketchup.

An escaped figment swimming against the stream of consciousness. I like big mountains, being uncomfortable, and writing pretentious sentences. Hi.

Nerd turned Soldier.... nope still a nerd too, just more well rounded. You name it I'm probably into it in some way; beer, cars, guns, video games, comics, and anime. Dillion, aka Bender to me and always will be, and I met serving together in the supply world of the Army. We pass the weekends away from the wives, well soon to be for him, running around getting our guys what they need. Then, when we have down time, we spend it with a stogie in hand and chit chatting about whatever crosses our minds before we rack out in our hammocks. Looking forward to these two tying the knot.

It's rather funny I would say, I've known Dillion the least amount of time of any other groomsman, yet I feel like I've known him for years. Hello, my name is Dominic, I work for AAA Northeast and wear many hats in the company. I enjoy most American pastimes such as beer, guns, tattoos, and video games. I first met Dillion at Shawn Burgess's wedding about 6 months ago and since that day, we have become very good friends. I am honored to be a part of this wedding. As cheesy as that might sound, it's true that as we get older in life, your circle of friends becomes smaller and smaller. You do learn to appreciate the people you can count on and I strive to be that caliber of person.

Video game fanatic turned I.T. professional. I am hoping to get season tickets for the New England Patriots someday. Stay hungry, stay humble.
